The Muppets Sing Bohemian Rhapsody
This video is made up of so much win. Seriously, I can’t stop watching it. Meep!
Playing Outside
It’s such a beautiful day outside right now, I really wish I could go out and enjoy it. And that’s unusual for me, since I tend to be what some people would consider a “basement dweller.” You know, ones who almost never go outside, except to go from one place to another, where they again stay inside until it is time to leave. Pitty that I am not really an outdoors person, really.
In other news, I have a new love, The Motorola Droid. Just look at it’s sexy lines! Sleek, black plastic; a full, slide out QWERTY keyboard, gigantic touch screen, and to top it all off, the lovely Google Android 2.0 operating system. Now, I will admit, I am in love with my current iPhone 3G. I stroke it, I fondle it, it has applications that are quite astonishing, and I am in absolute love. However… I am getting tired of the constant fuckups by AT&T and their ”Ohhh, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with our network, and I have no idea why you don’t have any service!” crap. Sadly, I am quite broke, so I can’t afford to really cut my losses with AT&T and run over to Verizon, even though they have a map for that.

More Ken Block Bad-Assery
This man is seriously living a dream. I would give my left testicle to do half of what he can do in a car.

Weird Al Who…?
So, setting at work, listening to Running With Scissors, and a couple of kids walk into the store with their pants hanging around their knees and yell out “Who the fuck is this?!” I answer that it’s Weird Al Yankovic, and again, they have absolutely no clue as to who that is. It was then that I realised that the generation after me has no hope left for it. Now, I admit, my generation is pretty fucked up, but not knowing who bloody Weird Al is is completely unforgivable. His music is completely amazing, making fun of the music that made my generation what it is today. Who’s with me?!?
Message In A Bottle
Finally getting really set in here at my new apartment. Place is a bit of a mess, mostly just shit that I still haven’t gotten put in it’s place yet, but it’s getting there. Slowly.
In other news, I am attempting to quit smoking. For the 8th time. I honestly doubt it’ll work, but one can try, right? So far, i’ve gone 2 days without a cigarette. I’m twitchy. And slightly pissed off. But otherwise fine! >.> *twitches*
Well, that’s all for now. Meeting a friend for lunch, one that I haven’t seen in quite a while, so I better get off to that. *waves*
I Pity The Fool!
So, huge road trip coming up. 2,000 miles round trip, to Ohio and back. Going to stop in and say Hi to Mara, then it’s off to the 24 Hours of LeMons! Wish me luck, everybody!
In other news, I have been watching A LOT of the A-Team on hulu.com. Sad, really, but I always loved this show when I was younger, and I only love it more now. Have a peak at some episodes below:
Well, while you enjoy your A-Team, i’ll sign off for now. Still more packing to do!
AT&T's '93 Predictions – Stupidly Accurate
Just stumbled upon this YouTube video from way back in 1993, made by AT&T for their You Will promo. It’s pretty damned accurate, and also a bit scary, how close most of this stuff, from 1993, is to modern life. Narrated by Tom Selleck, and directed by Fight Club’s David Fincher, these videos showed us stuff that is still barely getting off of the ground; e-book readers, video conferencing, on the go faxes (mobile email, anyone?), in-car GPS, tablet PC’s and video on demand. Remarkable.
Now, as for this tele-commuting with my bare feet? I’m doing that right now…
Also, don’t forget to keep an eye on our progress over on the 24 Hours of LeMons page, with a live Twitter feed!
Dear Honda Owners
I realize that this applies a bit to me, but I only challenge the type of Honda Owner that this poor old lady is ranting about…
How To: Installing Snow Leopard From USB Hard Drive
This is for those of you (like me) who tend to scratch disc media. To do this, you need a copy of Snow Leopard, an external hard drive and Disk Utility (you have this, don’t worry).
First, insert the Snow Leopard install DVD, then open Disk utility. Click “Mac OS X Install DVD” from the box on the left. Then click “New Image” and let it do its thing (this could take a few hours).
Next, take your Hard Drive, and format it with Disk Utility. To do this, click on the hard drive, then go to the Erase tab and select “Mac OS Extended (Journaled)” if it is not already preselected. Then all you need to do is click Erase and confirm you wish to do so.
Afterwards, make sure you have your external drive highlighted and then click the Restore tab. Then for “Source” drag in “Mac OS X Install DVD.dmg” and make sure that the destination is still the external hard drive. When all this is confirmed, hit Restore.
Now you’re essentially done if all you wanted to do was back up your copy of Snow Leopard. If you wish to install Show Leopard, open System Preferences -> Startup Disk, and select the drive you just restored Snow Leopard onto. Then just restart your computer, and follow the installer’s instructions.
Rock v Paper v Scissors
No idea where I found this, but it seemed fun to post.
I understand how scissors can beat paper, and I get how a rock can beat scissors, but there’s no fucking way paper can beat rock. Is paper supposed to magically wrap itself around rock and leave it immobile? Why the hell can’t paper do this to scissors? In fact, screw scissors, why can’t paper do this to people? Why aren’t sheets of College Ruled paper constantly suffocating students as they take notes in class? I’ll tell you why, because paper can’t beat up anybody. Rock would tear that shit up in two seconds flat. When I play Rock-Paper-Scissors, I always choose rock. Then, when someone claims to have beaten me with paper, I can punch them with my already closed fist and say, “Oh, shit, sorry. I thought paper would protect you, asshole.”
