What gets me is the guy that invented this thing probably spent months “perfecting” it. What an excellent use of his time while his friends were out inventing useless things like a telephone or steam engine.

In order to raise the spirits of an Italian prince burdened by the cares of his position, a musician […]

Someone has way, WAY too much time on their hands.
If you want to be really dorky, go to a shell (or command prompt) and type:

Another weird one I just got…
Hi I am Denise, I have a 1993 Geo Tracker and the check engine light is on. I did replace the 02 sensor and did a tune up with all new plugs and the check engine light is still on. Not sure how many 02 sensor’s are in my tuck […]

Does anyone know if the Windows Media Center Extender that is built into the Xbox 360 is a true client application to the Windows Media Center PC?
Basically I’m wondering if you could have 2 TVs, each with an Xbox 360 attached to it, both streaming unique content from the one Media Center PC.

If you are feeling rather dorky, and have about 5 minutes, this is an interesting video…

You know what I want to know? Who in the hell invented the iPod? I know a ton of people played parts in it, but who came into work one day and thought… “Gee, this would be cool…”
Because whoever that guy was, Apple should give him a bonus.

Here’s a cool article on how to fake tilt shift photography with Photoshop instead of needing to purchase expensive camera equipment…

I’m back from visiting Trent and Jamie in Michigan. We had a couple awesome snowboarding days with pretty much perfect conditions. Even drug Jamie into the back-country where she was blazing new trails.
Collin is a cute little bastard (he is 11 months old now).
I know *some* people missed me… because […]

For less than $10, you can be really lazy and eat an ice cream cone without expending too much effort.

I don’t know why I thought this photo was funny enough to make a whole post about it… but I’ve known these guys (brothers) since they were wee little lads in high school. Don’t Nick and Drew look like a happy little crew?

If you are bored, check out their band.

This guy might actually be who they modeled the Prince of Persia games after…

My cousin turned me on to this site tonight… it’s really cool (especially if you are looking for real estate or are a realtor).

I’m looking at the possibility of moving some stuff I’m doing to blade servers. Anyone have any experience with blade servers in general? And if so, now is the time to gimme some input!
This is what I’ve been looking at lately…

Then I could just pop in a new blade (computer) […]

All I know is that I’m awesome… and this is why…

Julien and I went to go practice some golf at the driving range this afternoon (by the way, I still utterly suck at hitting golf ball with a driver of any sort). We also played on the “short game” area (pitch and putt) which […]

Does anyone have a solution for playing music purchase at the Apple Music Store outside of iTunes or an iPod?
I’m going to be having a central audio distribution system in my house, but I just realized that music I purchase from the Apple Music Store isn’t going to work on anything outside of iTunes/iPod… […]

Yet another…
I want to search some books by using your sites.
Huh? Have you thought about using a site that has anything to do with books maybe?

Well, I wouldn’t *technically* call him my boyfriend… but he totally wants me.

I woke up this morning and there was no electricity in my house…
“Oh yeah… SDG&E sent me a letter telling me it as going to be off from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm today.”
Gee, that sucks. No electricity means no computers, no Internet, no nothing basically. My housekeepers are coming today too… I […]

Hahaha!!! They want to ban Grand Theft Auto because it teaches kids bad morals. hahaha
On its web site, the Sex Workers Outreach Project USA is asking parents to assist them in calling for a ban of Take-Two Interactive’s controversial game.

Here’s a video of me from 3 or 4 years ago. What I want to know is why in the hell do I only get one skate? My cousin seems to have gotten two. Lame…

BTW, you need QuickTime 7 to see it.

Harry Whittington, a 78-year-old lawyer, was shot by our vice president, Dick Cheney over the weekend while Cheney was quail hunting.
He contributed $1,000 to Bush’s 2000 presidential campaign and $2,000 to his 2004 re-election bid.
Nice “thank you” for donating, eh?

UpdateHarry Whittington had a minor heart attack today after a piece of birdshot […]

Another one (received today)…
i am trying to sign in
Thanks… please email me again with whatever next comes in your life.

I wonder if this guy got any…

Ever wondered what happens if you shut off a 500kV switch? No? Well it’s interesting anyway…

The music certainly makes it more entertaining…

A 3 foot tall, 37 pound lady gave birth to a 3 pound healthy baby boy yesterday. Dude, the lady gets around in a wheelchair because her body is “distorted” (that’s a quote from the article, I’m not being insensitive)… so what I’m wondering is how her and her husband (who is a giant […]

I hope my interior decorator doesn’t start recommending these lamps made out of doll heads… Sure they are cheap ($35), but I’m not so sure it’s worth it…

The rumors have started about Apple releasing a “true” video iPod at the end of March or beginning of April. If the rumors are correct, they will go from a 2.5″ screen (on current iPod’s) to a 3.5″ screen and do away with the click-wheel, and instead use an on-screen touch-panel interface.
Think Secret can […]

Some first grader was suspended from school for 3 days for sexual harassment. hahaha!!! The beginnings of a true pimp.
There have been similar cases. In 1996, a New York second-grader was suspended for kissing a girl and ripping a button off her skirt — an idea the boy said he […]

I need to get a good pan/tilt/zoom camera for the site of the house construction (to automatically make a time lapse of the house being built and also just to see what’s going on at any given time).
I’ve done a little research on it, and so far the Canon is the best one (for the […]

It seems French Parliament has legalized the use of peer to peer networks to share otherwise copy-written music and movies. Now they are just trying to figure out if they are going to impose a $5/month tax to users.
This is the best reason I’ve ever heard of to move to France.
The […]

There has been a bunch of hoopla lately about CableCARDs finally coming to market this summer, so I decided to read about it a little more…
The CableCARD system basically lets you insert a PCMCIA card into your TV and then you don’t need a digital cable box to receive high definition signals. The CableCARDs […]

Here’s one I got this morning…
can you help me to find my coponents and open them to my desktop pc. If youcan wouldyou help meto reprogram my computer and download the correct information i need to do different tasks.
Sure, I’ll get right on that.

I think Julien might have too much time on his hands…

I get so many random emails where people think I’m support or sales for whatever company they are trying to reach. So I decided I’ll start posting the emails in their entirety starting now (I’m not going to go digging for old ones).
My printer color is not printing good, igot new ink.but it still want […]

Here’s an utterly useless fact for you…
What are those blue reflectors in the street for? They mark where fire hydrants are. They will be offset to the side of the street where the hydrant is.
Aren’t you glad you know that now?

I always had plans to do a home theatre in my house, but it was going to be a bedroom that was turned into a home theatre. Well, I was finally talked into reversing that stance. It’s now going to be a home theatre that could be turned into a bedroom (if really […]

Those German bastards stole my idea about using Google Earth as a navigation system in a car…
What a bunch of little bitches.

Uhm… I thought maybe it was an isolated incident, but apparently more than one person thinks this is the cool thing to do.

A malformed UDP packet to your DNS server can cause it to respond to an IP address that never made the request (with the response being being more bytes than the request). So someone malicious could use one of your name servers to throw unwanted traffic at a 3rd IP address. Annoying… but […]

If you actually have 17 minutes to spare, this is kind of funny/interesting…

I saw a commercial for some drug to help combat “restless leg syndrome” where you have a tingling feeling in your legs, and you have the urge to move/shift your legs. Is this a real thing?
Why do I feel like maybe a drug manufacturer made up this “disease”?
Maybe if your body is telling you […]
