Okay… first of all, let me make it clear that I’m not buying a Ferrari… Even if I did, I don’t even have a place to put one for about a year (when the house is done).
But I remember reading somewhere (or maybe someone told me) that there was a multiple-year wait to get one. […]

I think Shawn (a different Shawn, not me) gets the award for the best comment on my blog for 2005…
“I will just shove it up my weener hole whenever I visit.”
It’s pretty funny when taken out of context… and just as funny when it’s in context (original comment).
As an award for Shawn, I will not […]

I just realized that it’s been weeks since I had something dorky to say (like programming or something to do with MySQL for example).
Just so you know that I am still dorky, here’s some PHP code for you (from my post over here)…
This will put the keywords that someone searched on to reach your site […]

Sometimes I forget about how god damn sexy I am.
This is what happens when I’m out trying to pick up cows and my pimp juice is flowing.
If I had an identical twin brother, I would seriously consider a life of homosexuality (and incest I suppose).
So seriously, I want to know what you think… On a […]

David Letterman successfully had the restraining order against him overturned.
“I appealed to the court for a restraining order to keep this man away from me, but now that’s been denied me,” she said. “He has access to me. He can actually come for me or send people. He has many accomplices. I know this sounds […]

I know it’s in terribly bad taste to make fun of someone’s blog (especially since this one sucks), but when someone starts ripping on San Diego, S.D. has to represent bitches! (I’m 3rd or 4th generation San Diegian)

Actually, now that I dig into it a little more, I don’t even have to […]

I think the last time I played frisbee golf was around Thanksgiving (and it was many months for the time before that). I used to play every week, but lately I just haven’t.
Anyway, you will be glad to know that I didn’t (completely) forget how to play. Had a mediocre front-9, and finished […]

A photographer that hung out waiting for a someone to eat crap (so he could take pictures) was arrested for “lying in wait” to take the pictures.
A photographer has come under fire in China for his pictures of a man falling off a bicycle.
The man came a spectacular cropper in Xiamen city after his bike […]

That’s the only way I can sum up the Charger’s season. Now that they are officially not going to make the playoffs. They *should* be 14-1 at this point, but they aren’t… Instead they are 9-6.
All they need is to upgrade their defensive backs and maybe add another good wide receiver and it […]

While playing a game of “Keep Away” with a cell phone, a woman decided to swallow the phone. Gee, what an incredibly good idea!
The woman was taken to the emergency room at St. Mary’s Hospital in Blue Springs. She still had the telephone in her throat upon arrival at the hospital, Decker said.

I wonder if Osama bin Laden is super stoked about one of his “blood” posing for racy pictures in GQ magazine…
“The niece of the man who orchestrated the destruction of the World Trade Center seventy-eight blocks to the south has a point. After September 11, the name bin Laden (which is how it’s spelled when […]

President George W. Bush, 2004:
“[T]here are such things as roving wiretaps. Now, by the way, any time you hear the United States government talking about wiretap, it requires — a wiretap requires a court order. Nothing has changed, by the way. When we’re talking about chasing down terrorists, we’re talking about getting a court order […]

For the uber geek (hey, that’s me), having a blog in your robots.txt is a pretty fun idea.
http://www.webmasterworld.com/robots.txt
It’s a nice minimalist approach to content that I personally like. It’s like a throwback to .plan or if you want to go even further back the days of C=64 boards (as Brett mentions). I myself […]

I can’t ever remember a time where I actually wanted the Raiders to win a football game, but I do believe that time is upon us. If the San Diego Chargers beat the Kansas CIty Chiefs (hopefully they will) and the Oakland Raiders beat the Denver Broncos… then guess what?
That sets up a San […]

Colleen Nestler of Santa Fe, New Mexico was actually granted a restraining order against David Letterman because she says he used code words on Late Night to show he wanted to marry her and train her as his co-host. According to the documents, Letterman has forced her to go bankrupt and caused her mental […]

It’s pretty funny to see the propaganda that the United States drops on countries we invade. In 1983, we rescued Grenada from “rape and slavery”.

This is issue #1 for the comic book (I wonder how many issues came out? hehe).
Check page 8 to see the enemies “master plan”.

Japanese are serious about gaming. You can now buy a gaming pillow for ~$38.
But you know what? As soon as you actually need this thing, maybe you should reevaluate how much time you spend playing video games in my opinion.

Good stuff.

Even Google Maps got a mention in their video. hehe
UpdateApple has the video available for free now if you have iTunes installed:

San Diego was the team that went into New England and beat the Patriots at home for the first time in years (21 straight home game victories). Now they went to Indianapolis and treated Peyton Manning like the little bitch that he is. Indianapolis was the NFLs only unbeaten team (13-0) and San […]

Wow… there are half a million posts in my forum now. Craziness.

Not exactly the proper treadmill technique (I’m assuming anyway). “Are jeans and a jacket the proper running attire?”
Man, I could watch this over and over for hours and keep laughing I think. What the hell is the blonde chick doing?

P.S. - Does anyone know how to convert an animated GIF […]

All I have to say is “wow”. Check out this video of Hideo Kojima showing off the PS3 developer kit. The amazing thing is it’s all rendered in realtime (no pre-rendered scenes). The graphics are crazy good. Makes the Xbox 360 look like an Atari 2600.

Yesterday, if someone asked me if I was friends with Google, I would have said, “Nah, we are just acquaintances… you know, “hi”, “bye” if we see each other at lunch or something.”
But today that all changed. Not only did Google send me a Christmas present (cool stuff too… 128MB USB drive, USB hub, […]

I’ve been having bizarre dreams about people that I know who they are, but never met before. Last night I somehow got caught in the middle of Paris Hilton and some of her friends robbing a department store. Long story short is somehow I got sucked into being their getaway driver.
The night before […]

Yahoo’s APIs are really nice (and there are a ton of them). Google’s API for web search is about 15x slower than Yahoo’s (no joke) and has less features. I really wish Google would bring out a new revision for it (its been stagnant for about 3 years now).
Google’s Map API is still […]

Okay, I *thought* it wasn’t a problem (at the time), but it turns out, it just made it “less” of a problem.
After watching the server closely for a month or two I think I finally figured out what the hell is going on. mysqld is not really efficient with it’s memory (I finally figured […]

You ever wish you could have done something for years, only to realize one day you could have done it this whole time?
I have a couple tables that I was replicating across 3 or 4 MySQL databases because I didn’t think I could reference a table from database A while working with database B.
Today I […]

So apparently two readers of my blog got the same idea after reading this entry. How awesome would it be to get brass knuckle implants? And they are cheaper than breast implants, so it’s even better! Judging from some of their life decisions, these are obviously good women that would make good […]

If you need to debug memory usage and segments on a BSD based unix machine, vmmap is the ticket.

Saw this on CNN today… apparently elderly people who are hard up for cash are selling their prescription medicine to addicts for quick cash.
Dottie, say it isn’t so!

I went to the game today and San Diego didn’t look so hot. They were beat (at home) by the Miami Dolphins (not exactly the best team). San Diego goes to Indianapolis next week to play the undefeated Colts next week in their home stadium. Joy.
Maybe loosing to the […]

Someone must have seen that I wanted it (yes the world revolves around me). Because I saw this on digg.com today…

Seems to work pretty well for me.

I have a color rendering of the front elevation of my house now (it’s required for the second phase of the design review by the HOA).
It was too big to fit in my scanner, so I pieced it together from two different scans. If you don’t like the line where the images were joined, […]

What to get your gang-banging girl in your life for Christmas? Rhinestone brass knuckles of course. Leaves a pretty impression in someone’s forehead.

Anyone can make money in the stock market when it’s a bull market and running up like crazy. The stock market is going to have good days and bad days… If you want to measure your (or your money managers’) success, don’t measure it based on what you made on a good day, instead […]

I could care less about Apple’s retail strategy, but what I want to know is what kind of glass cube is worth $9 million dollars? And more importantly, what kind of retail space is worth $1,000 per square foot in RENT???

Black Russian squirrels are bad asses.
A “big” stray dog started barking at the squirrels so they attacked and killed the dog. Then ran off with pieces of its flesh. The lesson? Don’t mess with squirrels.
Check it out over here.

I’m going to the Raider/Charger game on Sunday. Are you jealous?
