>I added a few things just for fun, playing with the idea – see if you can find the secret… and the horribly outdated, unmaintained webpages! Yay! Geeks finally publish a study to justify their existance. I found a photoblog with some really nice pictures from Japan. I only wish they were background sized. To answer the question you’ve been asking yourself since the beginning: “What is Phenylalanine?” Taj Mahal is playing at the Iron Horse in NoHo Aug 4th and 5th.

>blogger 1 blogger 2 poor little rich man There is nothing more angering then someone violating your trust. I know who took my xbox game at the party back in March as now more are missing. I just don’t know what route to take. My instinct says beat him up… find him and get my money back (as he’s already sold them). That would then create turmoil. He’s got nothing to lose, and he’d certainly retaliate. I’m worried about him breaking into the house, my car, or doing some sort of damage. I wouldn’t put any of it past the…

>Heads up on some low-priced top-notch footwear: Doc Martin’s are $35! Check out this and other Daily Deals! Also, I just posted some of my favorite XBox games. (sponsors page)

>I have to re-size the pictures from the RevItUp event @ home, M$ Photo Editor just doesn’t cut it – but I did manage to make this one look all artsy. If you have yet to catch it, make sure you see Bonzai! on Fox, it’s… interesting. Step 1: add living rat brain cells to a microchip Step 2: grow more cells Step 3: hook up to a robotic drawing arm Step 4: teach said rat brain cell cyborg hybrid thing to draw Step 5: stop skynet. NVidia’s new pixel pushing pixie. Linkin Park was ok, but Limp Bizkit got…

>Last entry got me thinking about the pictures page. It hasn’t moved since the digi-cam broke, attempted to look at a cell phone w/ photo today — 2 more months to get a discount. *humph* just as well, don’t really need it. I’ll borrow mum’s. =]

>How bored am I… just added some quotes to the ‘mobile’ section. If anyone has a WAP/Web enabled cellphone, give the mobile page a shot — not sure how WAP friendly it is, last I knew the only ‘requirement’ was XML… so maybe I need a direct link to the XML. I don’t know right now… eyes drooping, itch infallible.

>poison… ivy… must… stop… itch. its getting to my brain, drip drip drip, boing. drip. boing. auorlglglglglgl…. .:sigh:. Can’t sleep — maybe I should have sprung for the $7.50 bottle of calahist lotion, name brand vs current $4.29 Walgreens which does not seem to help. I’m awash in itch.

>I was just reading a story about a giant catfish in Germany. They say at the bottom that Bremen will stuff the dead fish and put it in a museum. I made a little joke about “The Bremen Musicians” – the fairy tale… where they’ll probably put it atop a donkey along with a cat… blah blah blah. No one had heard of it that I asked, so I looked it up. Not only did they have info ‘about’ the story: The Bremen Town Musicians, they had an animated story book in Flash! That then led me to classicfairytales.com which…

>Here’s an interesting blog: The Super Hyper Mega Ultra Blog…of Death I’m not sure where the “…of death” moniker originated, but I tend to use it a lot as well. It sure sounds like these guys thought they had it all down pat. Turns out that wasn’t quite the case. If you are looking for some fun, and have a research grant to spend, try this: Visit an American university, bump into random students in the corridor and loudly call each one ‘asshole’. Then measure their reactions. This is what a team of psychologists did in a controlled experiment at…

>My buddy Jay just uploaded the pictures to my iDisk from the Mazda RevItUp driving thingy. They’re large, but there’s a preview that might be helpful in finding the cooler ones 😉 (camera was new Sony 4-5mp w/ 10X zoom, memory stick v2.0) Going to Boston any time soon? There are still a few places to smoke. I haven’t tried this yet, but here’s a 20 questions game/script. Check out babyink.com!

>Sadaam’s Sons photos released of bodies Well, they say they’ve got proof – hardly recognizable, and the xray doesn’t look like anything… and what’s this about 90% matchup on the dental records for one of them… is it 70% on the other guy and thats where they get the 80%??? Still — it’ll probably help, maybe quiet things down a little – give the soldiers a break. Worse case scenario would be that it’s not them, and this would probably make them come out of hiding to prove otherwise if it isn’t. “Mountain Dew saved my god-damned life!” – A…

>Got a favorite Indy Band? Give them this link to possibly get their music published via iTunes!

>New (past) Entries: Birthday Time! The Blue Man Group Adventure! To come: A Humid Day Off and some other perfectly good wastes of time. I’m normally a couple months behind on the latest hiphop – one for the record since the hiphop blog isn’t really in existence yet: Wayne Wonder – No Letting Go I finally saw The Hulk – alas, did not give my $8.75 – but have a much better opinion of it now. I can at least appreciate it for the story line (which was what the comic was all about), and the direction/camera work. Here’s 101…

>Wow. Everything I could have hoped for, was exceeded by 10 times with other cool stuff thrown in as a bonus. To say I was impressed would be to say that the pope goes to church. It wasn’t all sprinkles and pop tarts, but it all worked out in the end. We wanted to be on our way by 3 or so, got off to a late start but left about 3:30 with the show at 6. We piled in the limo, a bit of a tight squeeze, but after some adjustments to the seating placement — I was comphy.…

>I just got back from my friend Justin’s birthday party. I got there a little late due to my work schedule, but got there in enough time to get some burgers and beer. His girlfriend Tracy had set it up as a surprise, it was at her house in New Braintree — so I went even further into the woods then per usual. She had a keg, and further back in the woods was the campsite where we set up the tent and had a fire. One of his friends drove her new (2000) Eclipse down into the woods which…

>You know “the guy from Blue’s Clues“? – see what he’s up to now.

>Those damn Frenchies are at it again… …although courriel is kinda catchy. ~~ \\ ~~ I’m on hold: You can’t hurry love No, you’ll just have to wait She said love don’t come easy But it’s a game of give and take ~~ // ~~ Add a new breed of man to your vocab: Metrosexuals …poor Ben, always gets his picture at the top of these things. Check out these cool lightning pics! Got iPod? Get iSkin! Random snippet from NYPost Online: Mariann Simms of Wetumpka, Ala., won $250 in a writing contest — for the worst opening line of…

>Today’s Link of the day: www.k12.nf.ca/stgeorgeshigh/Dildo/DildoDays.htm The link itself is half the fun! I helped my mom set up her new camera the other night: Olympus C-4000Z It takes such amazing pictures! She had 3×5″ prints done @ CVS straight off her memory card from the camera and the pictures came out better then I’ve ever seen film look!

>I’m going to Blue Man Group on Sunday. We’re taking a limo… but I can’t post this yet. I’ve asked Danielle to go with me, she was rather excited. However — the usual difficulties apply. I don’t know why my relationships always involve intrigue. It’s never been quite this sneaky before, but it’s such a care-free time when we’re together. Danielle seems at peace, and I know I am. We both run all over the place, a good example is at home: cleaning and picking up. I’ve witnessed her as though I’m gazing into a mirror — darting here and…

>I did a few updates to the music page, it’s no longer the “Temporary Music Page” and now matches the theme. I had an odd thing between IE & Mozilla – they seem to handle the pixels in CSS differently. I just have to check Safari when I get home, but otherwise I’ve compromised the positioning to look good on both. I think the archives page is the next on the list. Don’t look at it now, I’m embarrassed 😉

>I don’t like shaving, oh sure… I’ve probably said it before, but I haven’t had to shave every day up to this point. So I’m a late bloomer — I guess, but it’s frustrating. I can usually shave no problem, normally I go with the manual blade… until I try and do it every day. Electric razor is worse… ingrown hairs is my main issue with them. The other choice is the standard Mach III – which was literally issued to every man in America at the age of 18 (I received a package in the mail for my 18th…

>I was driving to work today, I usually go through the ghetto on my way in because it’s shorter. I was following an H2 and it was interesting to see the people react. A few raised their fists in the air, a sort of “way to go – bud” gesture. At another point I was following a Dodge Aries with “police” plates, appeared to be an older detective, maybe 55 or so. He was so excited when it passed him on the right that he was jumping, and alternated pointing and putting his hand to his head while driving with…

>Katita Wind-up Toys Terror Has Another Name My scheme has failed. I was hoping to “get back” at the theweblogreview.com for their horrible review of my site a while back. Granted, it was “hidden” but I expected them to be at least somewhat tech savvy and have a fast internet connection. They didn’t find the bubbles, got in the back door (the old windows that pop up) and it just was all bad. They chided my web-authoring skills, design, and content “I think when people talk about moving, it’s boring” yeah… when you only read the first entry!!! (but I’m…

>So here is my plan: Classes will have already started as of September 5th, I am working up until that point. I can’t claim benefits before that point. I can’t be enrolled before I’m “approved” for re-training and accompanying extension on my unemployment benefits or I risk losing all benefits (this happened to me before, so I know they’ll do it). I can’t go to school this semester, but I can apply at any time after receiving benefits to go back to school. This will extend my benefits by an additional 18 weeks at that point, past the usual 6…

>It’s been a while since I was able to sit down and post. I’ve been busy going here and there – looking at job listings, and trying to find a safety net. I have my plan. I haven’t gone into it yet, but I’ll divulge it shortly. It’s not overly impressive, but it’s a milestone. Here at this point in my life I need to re-establish my short term goals. My long term goals have remained about where they were, and though I’ve gotten marginally closer to them — must say that I haven’t done as well as I’d hoped…
