Julien sent me a couple pictures from Saint Patrick’s Day, so I tossed them up in the photo gallery if anyone is really bored.

About to drink the foulest drink ever made.

This guy looks a lot like the guy that thrashed me at golf recently - gee, I look pretty serious too

“There is no such thing […]

This guy cracks me up… it’s like a train wreck. You don’t want to watch, but you can’t help it.
You can check out a ton of his dances, and even make requests.

This was taken from the Book of Google (chapter 1, verse 1-5)…
In the beginning Google created the web.
Now the web was formless and empty. Spam was on the surface of the results, and the spirit of Google was hovering over the face of the index.
And Google said, “Let there be Shawn”. And there […]

This is just weird… and even weirder that he got off because of it.
One of the most notorious drunk drivers in the Ottawa area has been found not criminally responsible on his latest impaired driving charges because of a mental disorder that makes him believe female celebrities are controlling his actions.
Matt Brownlee was arrested last […]

I forgot to mention that the city now has my plans for my house, so breaking ground on it is now in their hands as far as when they issue building permits.

I don’t really have anything that I can say that would make this any more (or less depending on who you are) funny… But DAMN it’s funny.
Fik, 33, cut off his own penis during a Northwest Side rampage Wednesday morning. When confronted by police, Fik hurled several knives and his severed organ […]

I’m a bank now too it seems…
Hi , I live in Ukraine how I can get bank account or credit card in USA ?
Please answer.
Just send me your money (cash only please), and I’ll see what I can do.

Can someone please try this and tell me if it really works?

I don’t even know what in the hell a “C-Walk” is, but it’s pretty funny.
First you must begin with a signature stance, something that says,”Watch Out FOOL!
After that, take a quick little breather. But keep looking cool.
You should have the proper state of mind, such as pretending you have ants in your […]

If you ever wanted to wear poop on your head, but didn’t care for the smell, now you can!
The Japanese aren’t shy about bodily secretions and have a sense of humor about them unparalleled. And with their ability to make anything cute and cuddly, they have made even poo an irresistible fashion trend. This joke […]

Dude, I got the beating of a lifetime at golf today by Scott. He beat me by… uhm… 29 strokes.
Oh well, at least I beat him at foosball (once).

Julien called me this afternoon…
Hey, let’s go to Big Bertha’s and see if we can do their “Big Ass Burger Challenge”.
So me, Anne and Julien tried it (we failed). In reality it’s 6 1/2 pounds of food… 1 lbs of beef, 1/2 pound for the rest of the burger (bun, lettuce, tomato, etc.), 2 […]

Alternative PHP Cache is a PHP caching mechanism (like Turck mmCache, eAccelerator, etc.) that is being developed directly by PHP developers. In fact, PHP 6.0 is going to include APC Cache in it’s core framework, so it’s certainly something PHP developers/admins should start looking at.
Anyway, if you install APC Cache and Apache fails to […]

San Diego lost their starting quarterback this off-season to free agency (he went to the New Orleans Saints).
He hurt his throwing arm at the end of last season, and his ability to play at all this season was in question a little bit. I just hope Philip Rivers doesn’t turn out to be another […]

I haven’t seen the “official” review response, but I think it went well today. Pretty much the HOA just wants a fence moved (maybe some other minor things), but all the “big” stuff I was worried about seemed to be fine.
So for the most part that means the house is pretty much good to […]

I had an issue where Googlebot was spidering parts of my site that were not allowed in the robots.txt file…
My old robots.txt file…

Supposedly this is some new Bigfoot footage that someone shot in Minnesota, but it just looks like a drunk guy in an ape suit to me…

I’ve been waiting for this lawsuit for a few months now, and yesterday I finally got served the official complaint filed in the US District Court (San Diego).
Now we can finally get this show on the road… I’m sure it will give me all sorts of interesting stuff to blog about in the coming months. […]

Here’s something else I saw last summer at a friend’s house and just ran across it again on the Internet tonight… Tyson the skateboarding dog.

I saw this a couple weeks ago, and just now ran across it again. Dammit, I forgot to post it the first time around… oh well… better late than never.

An extraordinary family who walk on all fours are being hailed as the breakthrough discovery which could shed light on the moment Man first stood […]

Those crazy Russian scientists… always doing interesting/werid stuff.
Apparently back in the 1940s they were running experiments where they were bringing animals back from the dead…

I’m not sure why, but the video oddly makes me want to try it myself to see if it really works.

UpdateWe confirmed that this does work. We didn’t quite have as good of a technique for getting the Mentos into the 2 liter bottle as quickly, but it […]

I would just like to throw out a big *F-U*!!!! to Anne. She went golfing with Julien, Scott and myself this morning. Naturally Scott won (he has played a lot longer than anyone else). But it was Anne’s first time ever playing golf and she kicked the crap out of me and […]

Here’s another one (in it’s entirety)…
i want to see guys pictures or any thing thats will fun or not fun yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hmmm… don’t know who you are, but are you uhm… drunk?

I ran across this excellent mashup when reading about some MPAA stuff (specifically how they got slammed at the SXSW 2006 event)…

Someone who is more of a dork than me (and with too much free time), decided to unwind CAt5 ethernet cables and make action figures out of them.

A $250,000 robotic robot… wouldn’t it be cheaper to just buy a real fish?

I saw this on Boing Boing this afternoon… it looks like DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) is starting to research the feasibility of engineering insect cyborgs…
Quote from their website…
DARPA seeks innovative proposals to develop technology to create insect-cyborgs, possibly enabled by intimately integrating microsystems within insects, during their early stages of metamorphoses. The healing […]

More of them…
Hi!I can’t get asleep.What are U doing?I hope U are not sleeping tooo!
Why would anyone bother to email you just to wish their misfortune of insomnia on you? Bastards!

Volkswagen stole my idea, but at least now we get to see some images from it. Looks pretty cool.
Basically it’s just Google Earth running in a car stereo for things like navigation.

Julien, Anne and myself made it back from the Baja 250 without spending a single day in Mexican jail.
You can get pretty close to the race action (as you can see here)…

On the way there… What the hell is this? 50 miles worth of snow at 4:00 am? Lame!!!!

We made it… this is […]

I *could* be in a Mexican jail right now, but if all goes well I’m in San Felipe watching the start of the Baja 250 race.

Hopefully this whole “write now, publish later” thing in WordPress works… I’m even more hopeful that by the time you read this, that I actually made it to San Felipe, […]

This is a nicely choreographed break dancing routine… Must have practiced for years to get this one right.

The site calls them “Lover’s Cups”, but I think they are just a way for lazy people to get drunk with each other (like if I’m too lazy to go to a buddies house)…
Lover’s Cups explore the idea of sharing feelings of drinking between two people in different places by using cups as communication interfaces […]

Today is a sad, sad day for the entire world… Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch was shut down today…
Michael Jackson has been ordered to shut his Neverland ranch by California authorities who have fined the pop star $US169,000 ($230,700) for failing to pay his employees or maintain proper insurance.
Jackson’s sprawling ranch in the central California foothills […]

This guy is lonely…
I need true, real, good friend.
That’s the entire email… nothing else. Maybe if you would tell me a little about yourself, your desires in life or whatever else, I could be your one true, real, good friend.

Uhm… something strange happened tonight. Julien and I went to the driving range to hit some golf balls… and much to both of our amazement, we were both able to hit the ball relatively well with our drivers (this pretty much was a first for both of us). What in the hell happened? […]

Dude, this guy is whacky… This is a marriage contract he drew up for his wife to sign (she never did of course)…
When we are at home, and alone as a family, you will be naked within 20 minutes of the kids being in bed, and then sleep naked, unless otherwise instructed.
View all pages […]

Maybe I’m stupid, but can someone please explain what kind of diagram this could possibly be for?

Apparently it’s possible to “unregister” a domain somehow… because someone registered shawnhogan.com 2 months ago, and today it was available for registration. So whatever, I registered it.

Okay… it wasn’t a ninja that broke into my house to put Coldplay and Magic Numbers on my iTunes like I had previously thought.
I got a full confession from Bobby this afternoon.
Although it was worth it, because he was the one that turned me on to Mylo, Röyksopp and Gorillaz… so all is forgiven. […]

Apparently I’m also a nutritionist now…
MY BODY IS VERY SLIM AND MY BODY WEIGHT IS VERY LOW.
I HAVE TO INCREASE BODY WEIGHT THEN WAHT CA I DO .
Eat a bowl of mayonnaise for breakfast… that should help you gain some weight.

Those crazy Chinese are always innovating!

What the hell is this person sending me this for?
Have a list of Credit Card numbers, CVV numbers, phone numbers and addresses of American and British citizens. Have got these from BPOs. Let me know if youre interested.
Uhm… do I look like the credit card fraud auction center to you dude? I don’t even […]

Not sure if these are fakes of the forthcoming iPod AV or not, but if they are real, I’m gonna have to get one of these things.

If they are fake, they are pretty well done.

From Saturday Night Live…

Looks like another Andy Samberg creation… he was an excellent cast addition IMO.

Oh man, I’m awesome. I beat Julien at golf yesterday who pretty much is the best golfer I’ve ever heard of.
I rock! (this is the first round of golf I’ve ever won BTW… hehe)

Dude, if this happened to me, someone would have to die (literally).

Someone went through a lot of trouble to recreate the Simpson’s opening sequence…

With version 5.1.7, MySQL 5.1 (which is something I’m [not] patiently waiting for) has gone from alpha to beta status.
The stuff I’m really looking forward to is it’s improvements to the NDB Cluster engine…

Disk Data tables (before NDB Cluster required everything to be memory-resident)
Integration of MySQL Cluster and MySQL replication
Variable sized records

Now hurry up through […]

As of today, I finally got my own golf clubs.
Now if I can just figure out how to actually hit the ball with the club without whiffing it, we’ll be all set……

How in the F did Coldplay and Magic Numbers sneak into my iTunes/iPod? Somehow I have the full albums! They have been there for like 6 months, and been to lazy to delete those albums (they do suck). Coldplay are a bunch of whiney bitches.
I think someone broke into my house and […]

After playing some frisbee gold yesterday, Julien, Jay and Paul dragged me to Incahoots (a cowboy bar/line dancing place) because on Thursday, you can get a steak, potato and beer for $5.95. Not a bad deal even if it was a crappy steak… but amazingly enough it was actually a pretty good steak too.
Steak, […]

I saw this a couple weeks ago and forgot to post it on my blog, so a little late is better than never I suppose.

What a nice dad… make your kid cry (and probably crap his pants) and videotape it for your viewing pleasure. haha

When Apple finally rolls this out (in the next 2 months hopefully), it’s going to be damn cool! Hopefully no need to buy DVDs anymore.
http://www.thinksecret.com/news/0603videoipod.html
http://www.thinksecret.com/news/0603movies.html
Hopefully they also will come out with an AirPort Express that can do video (current one only can stream audio).

Uhm, would this hurt? He almost lands it too. heh

Not much to say about this one… just watch it.

Okay, this is kind of odd… this is a blender you scream at to make it work. (link to blueprint)
People induce the blender to spin by sounding the sounds of its motor in action. A person may growl low pitch blender-like sounds to get it to spin slow (Blendie pitch and […]

Geez man… I’ve been paying $140/month for my 6Mbit DSL line from SBC for years. Today I ran across something that shows 6Mbit DSL lines from SBC are $44.99/month with a 1 year contract or $59.99 if you pay month to month.
So I called them and asked what the difference was between my $140/month […]

I know this is supposed to be a serious thing for selling sports bras… and that being said, I can’t help but crack up over this thing. hehe

http://www.shockabsorber.co.uk/bounceometer/shock.html
I’m so immature.
