People DO Read My Blog!

Well, I posted a picture of my friend (a guy) wearing a bikini top yesterday at 4:21 pm as an experiment to see how long it would take him to notice and call me. It was less than 24 hours (without anyone telling him).
Sorry if you missed it, but I since took it down […]

She-She Hoity-Toity Do-Do Dah-Dah

I heard what appears to be a new language today. Does anyone know what it means? If so, please leave a comment so myself (and the rest of the world) can find out.

Internet Explorer 7 Beta

Well, Microsoft has finally started beta testing IE7, which you can get (if you are a developer) over here.
Internet Explorer is a really sucky browser that I don’t really feel like going into WHY (because most people already know, and the ones that don’t already know, probably don’t care anyway). But hopefully they will […]

Chelsea Clinton Worth 40 Goats and 20 Cows

Some guy in Kenya has offered Bill Clinton 40 goats and 20 cows for his daughters hand in marriage.
He practically had the whole wedding planned too (he knew that Archbishop Desmond Tutu would preside over his grand wedding). hehe Kind of funny I think.
If you ask me, it seems like fair market value.

Tom Cruise Kills Oprah

This is just funny, so I don’t really have to say anything else about it (so there!)…

Watching The Shuttle

You would think that the President of the United States would have a better TV to watch the shuttle launch from, but I guess not. This is George Bush watching today’s shuttle launch.

Battle Of The Bridges

I got invited to a golf tournament (as an attendee, not a player) that’s going on today. I guess it’s a two on two tournament with Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Retief Goosen and John Daly.
My first golf tournament I’ve ever been to (well I played in 2 before). I know everyone cares.
I need […]

Inhale Paint

This dude walked into a hardware store to buy spray paint. The clerk noticed his face and hands were covered in paint, so he called the cops on suspicion he might be inhaling them.
Sure enough… this fool was inhaling paint, and needed a refill so badly, he didn’t bother to clean himself up before […]

Derailing A Train

I’ve always heard idiotic people say if you put a penny on a train track, you could derail a train. Well, I proved them all wrong today. I taped $3 in quarters to a railroad track and waited for a train to come by today. And guess what? It flattened the […]

Mutant Turtles

Not sure what to say about this, but here’s the ad:
No Eyed Red Eared Slider Hatchlings
WELL THE PARENTS OF STEVIE HAVE DONE IT AGAIN!
These little babies are true miracles of nature. They have the same parents as Stevie our no eyed mascot. They are truly unique in every way. They are smart and adapt […]

Half Nectarine, Half Mango

I went to the store last night, and saw something new (to me anyway). It was a fruit that was half nectarine and half mango. basically was shaped like a nectarine, but looked like a mango. I got a few of them to try out, and they are pretty good… They taste […]

Cool Hansa Wasser Erleben Faucets

German companies seem to always make some pretty cool stuff. Check out these faucets for example. The first model (the squarish one) even has LEDs that light up the water depending on the temperature (the colder the water, the bluer it is, the hotter, the redder it be becomes). All their faucets […]

Long Live King Shawn

I recently moved to the projects to save some money so I could go to Tahiti, and already I seem to have a bunch of minions that stalk/worship me. So I look outside my window and what do I see? This…

Blow Your Face Up With Saline

Dude, there isn’t a whole lot I can say about this, except look at the pictures at the link below.
This guy actually blows his face up with saline for fun (okay, maybe not for FUN, but for performance/body art purposes). I wonder what day you just wake up and decide, “Hey man… let’s use […]

Fuck IE! I Don’t Like It Playin’ On Ma’ Site!

Just another note from me to tell you how crappy Internet Explorer is. Hope they fix it with verison 7.

Bam Margera, Steve-O and Chris Pontius

I’m not much of a TV watcher, but Wildboyz and Viva La Bam are pretty damn funny. Don Vito is such an idiot on Viva La Bam, that I’m not sure if I’m supposed to laugh and this guy or feel sorry for him (although I usually laugh).
Anyway… the whole reason for this entry, […]

Google Earth KMZ Files

Google Earth lets you generate .kmz files by right-clicking a marker and saving it. Pretty handy, but I wanted to be able to adjust the tilt and direction the default view comes up as, so I poked a little bit (well not that much… heh). The .kmz files are simply zipped .kml files […]

Computer For Your Car Dashboard

Okay dude, this thing is pretty cool. It’s a full blown computer packed into a double-DIN sized chassis. the thing is made by Infill (a Korean company). I still have a hard time believing they fit it all into the chassis without a hide-away unit, but it seems like they did. […]

AMX vs. visiomatic Home Automation

Okay, I think I have it down to two companies for the home automation stuff…
AMX, which seems to be more widely deployed (the installers I met with last week have an office here in San Diego). It’s really impressive stuff (although for the price, anything is going to be impressive).
The other company is a […]

Falling Mannequin

This is kind of interesting… it’s a mannequin that falls forever in a universe of balls, all the time obeying the laws of physics.

Also, you can throw her around with your mouse if you want.

How Smart Is Your Foot?

While sitting, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles with it.
Now, while doing this, draw the number “6″ in the air with your right hand and your foot will change direction.
Stupid, but true…
