Quick video from seeing the Dropkick Murphys put on their first of seven St. Patrick’s Day weekend shows in Boston.

I missed out on seeing them a decade ago when their previous lead singer quit right before I was supposed to see them for my 15th birthday. They’re wicked popular now, and the St. Paddy’s day shows are a huge deal in Boston. Like the Pogues shows in NYC.

• I’ve got an addiction. To N. Gaimen’s “The Sandman.” Tame, yes, but I NEED to own it all, which takes valuable $ away from my geek fund. #

I’ve had a variation on pretty much this exact dream regularly since graduating almost two years ago:  The same horror on the Couch Hall porch at realizing I’d totally forgotten to attend a class I’d signed up for, PANIC DAMN DAMN HOW’D I DO THAT I’m GONNA FAIL, sinking sense that I was actually done with school, CONFUSION…. waking up glad I’m done with school.

I wonder if I’ll have nightmares about missing Saturday Staff Meetings if I ever make it to law school.

@ryanblock asked bout @gdgt ‘s podcast. My answer: The longer the better, til about 1:30. #

If you swing nerdy, the podcast is here, and is provides a thorough and well considered analysis of communications technology and new toys.

Also, big fist-bump to Ryan Block of that site and Engadget for being a balding-25-year-old kindred.

Down-right awesome or disappointing, the Alan-Moore-snubbed cinema starts midnight at the Rave. Hamilton saw an early screening and meh-ed it, but we all know how he can be. Am I right? Huh?

If you want to come along, you’d best order tickets online. ‘Cause it’s gonna be a geek-party full house.

Thanks for Lauren for doing the original MS Paint job of tossing my head up there.

• So, @schondergd, I see you’re bound for Dublin. Thanks SOOO much for de-hyping my trip to Boston for St. Paddy’s. Wasn’t into it anyway. #

• RT @Citizens_First: Hey AR-interweb, is there an audience for iTunes podcast of key committees and hearings? a la http://tinyurl.com/dlr89k #
• Congrats again, @matt_mueller. Apparently people with internet DO watch network television. Nice redesign since last year too. #

• Hey, look a new (to me) crowd-funding service. Baller. Help out my bud too. http://is.gd/kBvy #
• Oh my god the MPAA’s website is terrible. http://is.gd/l91h #

Barry banned me from his blogspot URL just for writing on it. I thought this was a free country. Why don’t you move to Russia, Barry, if you like being a jerk so much. Gay.  Thank you for this brief but important update.

• Absolutely blown away by Blogo. I’m sorry MarsEdit and Ecto, goodbye forever. http://www.drinkbrainjuice.com/blogo #
