The Cincinnati Bengals almost shutout the Baltimore Ravens tonight (Ravens scored with 1 minute left), and normally I wouldn’t care all that much, but before this game, the Chargers and Ravens were tied for the 2nd best record in the conference (behind Indianapolis). In the case of a tie between the Chargers and Ravens, […]

I don’t know what his “day job” is, but he has to be more qualified for it than being a burglar. This dude seriously needs to find a new line of work.

I received my first Christmas card this year… and it was from Google. It’s a digital photo frame… pretty cool if you ask me.
Comes with a mini USB cable, power cord, batteries, and an international power adapter. The international power adapter will really come in handy for some other stuff.
According […]

I went to the game today, and dude… the Chargers looked like dog do-do as far as how they played. Lucky for the Chargers, they only need 1 player to play well (LaDainian Tomlinson). The Chargers scored 3 touchdowns (2 in the 4th quarter), with Tomlinson rushing for 2 and passing for one. […]

Not really David Blaine, but much more entertaining.

Kansas City beat Denver today, which is really good for the Chargers. If the Chargers can beat the worst team in football on Sunday (the Raiders) at home, they will be 2 games ahead of Denver and KC in their division. Now someone else needs to beat Baltimore and/or Indianapolis so the Chargers […]

The foundation/slab was (finally) poured for the house today, so I figure I’ll post another time lapse video (it ends this afternoon).
Sorry the quality is lame and it’s little, YouTube downsamples the video, not me… To give you an idea of how the “real” video looks, this is the last frame of the video:

One of the pictures that almost got us all thrown in jail. We took pictures of our poker table, which is forbidden because it’s a “Nevada gaming device”.

Uhm, how do you like your hand there Shoe’?
(picture ripped off from Shandy King, so if you want to arrest anyone, it’s him. […]

Uhm, this is rather ballsy I must say…

The weekly Power Rankings came out today, and guess who’s on top? Chargers.
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/powerranking?season=2006&week=12
This weekend, they play at home against the worst rated team (Raiders). It should be a great game if you are a Chargers fan.

Damn, why didn’t they have these toys when I was a kid?
Open up your very own pretend play tattoo parlor. This easy-to-use tattoo maker kit includes an electronic tattoo pen and funky stencils. Using soft, safe pulsating action, the tattoo pen creates realistic, washable designs with dramatic effects. Requires two AA batteries (not included).

Every once in awhile I think I have too much time on my hands, but then I run across something like this that reminds me, that other people have more spare time than I do…

The San Diego Chargers won by far their most important game of the 2006 (regular) season… And guess what? Their defense has been “crippled” the last 3 weeks and they are about to get back their 3 best defensive players… Shawne Merriman, Shaun Phillips and Luis Castillo. Their offense has been keeping […]

All I can say is thank God. I forgive the Dallas Cowboys for all their previous sins.

It’s hard to see, since this is just one area, and it’s all buried anyway, but there is lots and lots of conduit under the house (the grey pipes). That way you can run wires or whatever else to different locations in the house as needed in the future (for example maybe you need […]

I know it’s rather unpatriotic to sell my citizenship to any country who gives me the lowest income tax rate, but well… it’s all good. I did a little (very little) research and found places like Russia have a 13% flat income tax rate (no wonder they can’t afford to launch their Soyuz). […]

You can watch this guy play his new video game console for a week straight… Kind of funny actually, as you can hear him talking to his friends about how many people are watching him and them being surprised it hasn’t crashed yet.

I picked appliances for the house a few weeks ago, and I ended up with a pretty cool stove (I ended up with the 6 burner, 22″ griddle configuration).
The best part about it is this:

That is the route I took to get home from Pubcon in Las Vegas. It was a very odd route by the airline. Got on a plane in Vegas that was a direct flight to San Diego (and supposed to get to San Diego at 1:05 am this morning). Circled around San […]

Played some poker tonight (this morning?), and we had George, a closet anti-semitic poker dealer for his 30 minute shift. George really liked us (especially Dax)… or not… it was hard to read his true feelings about us.
Hopefully someone will post the illegal pictures we took of a “Nevada gaming device”.
UpdateI […]

Yahoo Publisher Network hosted the best party at Pubcon (at least of the ones I went to). They threw it in the Hugh Hefner Sky Villa at the Palms (it’s a 9,000 square foot, $40,000/night “room”) on Wednesday night.
Microsoft threw a party in the Kingpin Suite Thursday night, but I decided that going to […]

I got a royal flush tonight while screwing around on a video poker machine (waiting for people to get to Binions for our real game).
Not quite as interesting as the other ones I got because it was against a computer (and 2s were wild). But whatever, paid a little money anyway…

…yet I’m going there today for Pubcon. Joy. They should do shows in places like Hawaii or Tahiti IMO.
(6th time I’ve been to Vegas this year unfortunately)

Holy crap… I pretty much forgot about my Winn and Sims vs. Me blog (the whole thing was over 2 years ago).
But I happened to notice that some of the entries have over 100 comments, with one having 466 comments as of right now.

A pretty lame blog entry IMO to get almost 500 (and counting) […]

So the San Diego Chargers were down 28-7 at halftime, and it wasn’t looking so good. So what did they do? Nothing much… just scored 42 points in the 2nd half to win 49-41.

I haven’t seen Borat yet (I plan on seeing it next week while I’m in Las Vegas), but if you haven’t seen it yet, I have a good reason for you to go see it (not that you really need one)…
I just found out my uncle Scott was the production sound mixer on it. […]

This woman was shot 6 times in the head… the bullets were lodged under her scalp, but none of them penetrated her skull.
Pereira was shot Friday in the small city of Monte Claros, about 900 kilometers (560 miles) north of Sao Paulo, after quarreling with her former husband, who was reportedly upset because she refused […]

I know this is about a month old (I read it back then, bur forgot about it until I just ran across it again).
I wonder who the genius was that put 14 of the 19 9/11 terrorists on the national “no fly list”. Did they somehow think they survived the plane crash into the […]

If anyone wants to know what to get me for Christmas, here it is.

Hmmm… concrete that eats pollution. That’s pretty slick if you ask me.
The results so far are astonishing: A street in the town of Segrate, near Milan, with an average traffic of 1,000 cars per hour, has been repaved with the compound, “and we have measured a reduction in nitric oxides of around 60%,” says […]

I woke up this morning and noticed that the middle finger on my right hand had been bitten by a vampire while I sleep, so in my boredom, I decided to take a picture for your viewing enjoyment.

The picture doesn’t really do it any justice. I did however learn that it’s extremely difficult to […]

Two police officers sued Burger King Corp., claiming they were served hamburgers that had been sprinkled with marijuana.
The lawsuit says Mark Landavazo and Henry Gabaldon, officers for the Isleta Pueblo tribal police, were in uniform and riding in a marked patrol car when they bought meals at the drive-through lane October 8 of a Burger […]

Uhm, what goes through people’s minds sometimes??? hahahahaha
A man was arrested on suspicion of carrying a concealed weapon after police found him outdoors — naked — and he told them he had a tool in his rectum, authorities said.
The man was lying on a tree stump, masturbating beside a nature path, near a Bay […]

So I finally broke down and got a new laptop (mine old one was like 6 years old). The one I opted for was the faster 15″ MacBook Pro (2.33Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM, 256MB video RAM, etc.)
All in all, a pretty sweet machine (and I can run things like SuSE Linux […]

This is something I’ve known about for a few months (obviously), but now that I ran across the information on other sites, I don’t see any issue with posting about it now…
Universal City Studios Productions (the entity suing me [more or less] on behalf of the MPAA) doesn’t actually have a legal right to sue […]
