people these days have some odd priorities...

I had to run to the bank and deposit that check, and stop to get something to drink at the gas station. When I am walking back to my car, some guy asks me for $.75. I thought it seemed odd that a guy was asking me for change, while having a conversation on his iPhone.

she said yes...

who wants to go to Vegas?

stage 1 of the patio is complete

still a lot more work to go into it, but the big portion is done.

My nightmare at work for the day...

a picture is worth a thousand words...in this case, all of them had 4 letters.

This is...

classic.

got kinda bored, decided to reinstall my OS...

...and decided to go with Ubuntu this time. It has been a while Mr. Gnu.

apparently, not everyone takes Ike seriously...

This is classic. Take (1) Cat2 hurricane, (1) KHOU Channel 11 reporter, and (1) assclown dancing in a bear suit, and you make good comedy.

so Google made another big move today...

Today, Google released the Chrome beta. I have been using it on and off for a few hours how...pretty nice. Seems very fast compared to Firefox 3 and IE7 (I was never sold on Firefox). If you get bored, and want to work on finding some bugs, download it and check it out.

I Think This Could Be An Addiction

I have recently found myself buying Black and Decker items for the house. I am not sure what got me in the kick, maybe it's the orange color they use for everything. So far I have been impressed with all their 18v rechargeable items. I did buy a plug-in angle grinder, since there is no way that a battery could give me the amps I needed.



...and on a side note, I finshed the small patio area for the trash can. Turned out looking pretty good. Now I just have to start working on the large patio for the back yard, which I already sense is going to be a nightmare.

Saw This Outside My Work

Kinda interesting. I really liked the 2001 Bullitt, mainly because of the rare factor. I think the plain styling looked better on the '01, but the new one is cool non-the-less. This time they are building 7,000 of them, almost 2,000 more than the '01. Not as rare, but still a collecter's item.

Below is a pretty sweet pic where Edmunds.com decided to see if the new Bullitt would actually jump like Steve McQueen did in the movie Bullitt.

New Birth Contol - Warm Cow Skin

Fireball - August 28, 2008

What follows is possibly the first ever Top Gear health warning.

Next time you switch on your heated seats, you could be, erm, ballsing up your chances of having kids. No, really - the nice warm leather can affect your fertility, apparently. If you're a man.

Which is rather worrying, if you ask us. The news comes from some men in white coats in Germany, who've been carefully studying the problem. Let's hope they didn't get too hands on.

And it's all because certain man parts don't work so well when they're warm. Let's just say their output decreases somewhat. And we all know that low productivity is bad for business. Especially the baby-making business.

But fear not, if you like the feel of balmy-hot leather against your bum, you can still enjoy it. Just make sure you don't keep it on for too long - an hour at most.

Unless of course, you don't like the idea of filling your back seats with screaming todlers. Or the thought of sleep deprivation, early mornings and stinking, steaming nappies.

In which case, fire up those seats and keep yourself toasty.

Otherwise, consider yourself warned.

The Double Drop...BOH!!!

I found this on Tommy's site, made me laugh so hard that chocolate milk came out of my nose.

Poak Chops

I really don't know what to say. I don't think I have been this speachless in my life.

Enjoy!
