- Nick pointed this
- Nick pointed this out to me, you have to see this new type of flexible display. It's really amazing.
once again it's proof that science fiction actually plays a heavy influence on the products of the future. Ever notice how most cell phones slip open like the communicators on the original Star Trek?
Speaking of high technology, I just tripped across this by accident. It's a video of two Honda Insight's chasing each other. Not sure what show, but pretty funny especially the sound affects they add to make the cars sound futuristic.
Which reminds me of another tangent. I pulled into Costco yesterday to buy some gas, and when I got out the attendant walked over to my and said "what are you doing here? Those things don't need gas!"

Baby your a lost cause
- Car vs. telephone line. Telephone line actually wins.
- New Hybrid car get's green light. I know the article is a farce....but I can dream right?
- Want to build a flame thrower out of PVC?
- Is the status bar in your IE missing? Does it keep dissapearing? Here's how to fix this annoying little bug.
- Sure does look like the death star to me.

Ebay is a very interesting place
Ran across these Ebay listings that when pieced together seem to form some kind of online tale of a jilted fiancee and her adventures in recouping some of the expense.
Interesting read:
- Wedding bands
- Another wedding band
- Green Goddess Dress (ing)
- 1930's Velvet Evening Gown
- Doc Marten Brogues: Steel-toed!
- ViewSonic V36. Belonged to the ex. (my personal favorite).
- How Drunk? coasters. Impress your parents.
It's always good to have a sense of humor about life.

On year ago today, feels longer than that
Went to Home Depot yesterday and bought this:
A lot of people complain about the home depot, but we've never really had a problem there with returns or anything. I've had 3 razor blade knifes so far that I've had to return for some reason or another, and the've taken them back every time:
Also, we had a gift certificate the Reinachers were nice enough to give us for helping them move. So that really helped us with buying the compound miter saw (which makes cutting the 1x4's soooo much easier). So a special thanks to them and their kindness.
Links:
-How does that little ball in the Guiness can work?
- Does tapping on a can of soda make it less fizzy?
- Reasons not to get Lasik surgery...SCARY!
- First there was stainedapron.com...now there's bitterwaitress.com.

My neck is broken
Picture time:
Nibbler appears to like pain:
Apparently I'm the kitty version of Santa, everyone wants to sit in my lap
Freaky clouds...supposed to signal that a tornado's coming.
Far Cry: When Apple vacations go bad!
Psssst! hey buddy!
I need serious mental help
This isn't my fault, I swear. I only shot him.
What a shitty way to die, being given a swirly by mutants.
Homeworld 2: Run my little resource collector run!

Ebay spammer w/ single digit IQ
If you read /. you've probably already seen this story, but it's a great read if you haven't.
A website has been created by Justin Spence regarding an Ebay seller who scammed him out of his money for a laptop. The best parts are the emails that Justin was kind enough to post in chronological order. Reading them is like trying to make 2+2=5.
Flow to parent
- Learn the legend, know the man....Short Arm Guy.
- Don't eat at the Olive Garden. Personally, the whole "when your here your family" thing just bugged the crap out of me. That and the "my uncle tony" commercials.....cause who the fuck comes to America from Italy and wants to eat Italian food at a sucky, bland, bastardization of a restaurant.
- The members section of my website is ready to go. You can now see me naked, you just have to certify you are over 18. I feel the pictures are tasteful and came out well.
- Want to know the sounds of a baby seal being clubbed? You can hear it from this article. Trust me, watch the whole thing.
- A shameless (shameful?) look at Otaku's and conventions. Go Go Anime fulfills all your deepest guilty pleasures.

I lick ya boom boom down
So we get home from running out to Blockbuster and what do you think's on our door step:
Nothing like a free coffee maker from Gevalia to surprise the hell out of you.
Also, tonight there is both SG-1 AND SG-1: Atlantis on tonight!!!!!!! Does it get any better? I submit that it doesn't. Oh wait.....we're having Rib's for dinner. All I need is Allah and 70 virgin's and I'd swear this is heaven.
Oh yeah, and I beat Dragon Ball: Legacy of Goku II last night. Even got the special Hercule/Mr. Satan character. He wasn't worth the work, but if I hadn't I'd have gone crazy wondering about it.

13 days till DOOM ]I[
As I sit here in the cold, air conditioned confines of our Inerf at work, I am reminded of simple fact.
When doing physical labor for another group for multiple hours, always bring your gameboy along for those 20 minute gaps in activity. :(
That actually reminds me of a simpler time in my life when I was young. Back when going somewhere in the car was not an option, but the benefit was that you could sit in the back playing video games the whole way. I even had a friend once whose parents had a super nintendo in teh back of their conversion van. Sure playing Super Mario World over and over isn't the best idea of fun, but it beats the hell out of sitting there bored.
I wish I could get away with that now as an adult. But you just can't do the same things you did back then. But wouldn't it be nice if you could get away with playing Gameboy in the car while somebody else drives.
I miss the good old days.

Pineapple fanta is yummy :)
Me and Jen have been working on a new site together, and it's finally ready for the world to see.
Jen and Dennis: Beer Reviews
Hope everyone likes it, we're still working on it but hope to have lot's of content up.

God I hate Blog spammers so much! Over 125 blocked IP's and they still keep dumping their crap on this site. Well hopefully the latest tweak I just made will stop their evil ways....and then they can curl up and die.
Speaking of dying, it's nice to read that we're creating a whole new generation of psycho's over in the middle east right now.
You really have to wonder what type of world we are creating with all this freedom fighting. I see no nobility behind any of this, no just cause for the actions taken. Yet we've managed to taint hundreds of thousands of lives irreparably. What lessons can be learned from a country that does this to it's own people?

new york new york
Bought a new stereo the other day.
Also picked up two speaker stands, real slick little things actually.
I bought my first stereo (the one we were still using) back in '94 as a present to myself when I graduated from high school. I later added on new speaker's (blew the old cheapo ones) but always kept the same basic system. *sniff, sniff* I feel kinda guilty replacing it, but with all the new stuff coming out....
However, I recommend you never go into ABT with your wallet. It's like Best Buy and Sharper Image had a bastard child. Also they have this sick crazy fish tank that's pretty impressive. I can't stress how much you have to see this in person.

An outcast in my own mind
- Fat cat looking for home, structural support a must.
- If fat cat's are you thing, then there's a website for you. (there's a website for everything)
- Speaking of a website for everything, get your own love hampster here.
- Web cam helps catch burglers. Funny thing is, same webcam, and the same thing we do when we travel.
- Officer enter's room, sees man lying in bed with a beer can, shoot's him. Somehow can't understand why anyone would be upset.
- And lastly, how to ride a bike like a cool person.

The venga bus is coming
I have believed that I had seen all the evil that could exist in this world. That my eyes had partaken in all the horrible, ghastly, despicable, loathsome sight's this hollow shell of a dimension could spew forth.
However, I have come to find that I knew not what true evil was until that cursed day I viewed this:
This my friends is the Devil's true form. A creepy, disturbing old guy looking demon that dances with glee to the Vengaboy's "we like to party". All the while I'm sure he's thinking about something horrible like eating baby intestines or raping nun's and then giving them cleveland steamers.
Psalms 23:4,
"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou [God] art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me." There is no god.

god i hate blog spammers...
- How to fry an egg, using your computer.
- Banna phone? Osaka phone? weird stuff going on here....
- Falldown game, I got to 53820 without trying to hard.
- Guy in stolen Mustang tries to flee cops. Hours of playing GTA: Vice City finally pay off.
- Build your own flamethrower...... Holy. Crap.

rubber cement is in my nose.
Video of the Dining Room has finally finished being edited and is up. This one is only 4 minutes.

I know I won't be leaving here with you
We finished pergo'ing the Living room and Dining room friday! Actually we didn't finish so much as we did it all in one day. 8 hours of pergo'ing, and I could barely walk the next day.
Everything turned out great though, that extra layer of subfloor really leveled the whole room out.
Living room:
Dining room:
We also did something different this time, we video taped the process of doing the Pergo. I've only finished editing the Living Room, but thought i'd share it in case somebody actually finds it interesting:
Video is here It's about 4 hours compressed down into 5 minutes :)
Feeback always welcome.

Global warming my white ass
62 Degree's in the middle of July! What the heck is going on...
Anyways, I saw this video here a while ago. A PT cuiser runs a light, slams into another car and on the way takes out a pedestrian as well.
It drove me crazy because I couldn't find any more info on it, but finally somebody pointed me in the right direction.
Here's the news story that goes along with it.
It's crazy. Almost as crazy as the latest Amazing Race (we watched last night).

Fucking ceiling leak
Fucking hole in ceiling I had to cut to find leak....still haven't....
Jen painting the living room
Nice look, eh? Sandstone Cove vs. Velvety Merlot
Another look
Nibbler......not helping
Oh MY GOD! THE SHOES HAVE ME!
Shortly there after, it felt like a koala crapped a rainbow in my head
After a hard day of painting, nothing like a grumpy cat jumping in your lap. I also put this pic up cause I look like a complete fool.

Argh!
Ever have one of those days where you just know that somebody's gonna piss you off somehow?
If there only wasn't so many idiots in the world then I know things would be fine. Anyways, on to my 4th of July. My neighbor's are fucking insane. All week fireworks have been going off on our street, which is something we can live with. I understand that people are just having fun, and of course nothing say patriotism more than blowing off chinese fireworks on July 2nd. My heart simply swells with so much pride in this great nation that the only way I can express it is to explode things for no reason in the middle of the night. I'm sure I'll still be able to stand tall and salute with only 3 fingers anyways. Anyways, onto my neighbors, me and jen had our plans kinda re-arranged when the bathroom started leaking into the 1st floor, so as a result we stayed at home and didn't go to see fireworks with anyone. At least we thought that was going to be the case. We did grill however, so we don't have to forfeit our american status yet. So we're watching fireworks on TV (or at least david lee roth jumping around like a crack monkey) and suddenly it sounds like there's small artillary fire outside our front door. We go outside and it's like somebody decided to recreate China Beach. There are sick, crazy fireworks going off like 2 houses down. Now were not talking the 5.99 smoke package from Dominick's, or even your standard stuff from over the border, this is some professional shit. I snagged a video here. My camera is great as a camera, but not as a video recorder. But you get the idea.....I don't see any reason to leave the house if they do this every year. Hell, might just invite people over next year. Here's the best part. These fireworks were going on for like a solid hour...no joke, and no cop's had come at all. Then they did their last volley, and suddenly they turn on their front porch lights, i hear a guy yell "be quiet", and 5 people run out in front and sit down on chairs. 30 seconds later a cop car comes cruising down our street, only to see all the neighbors sitting out in their driveways like nothing's going on and they're just watching the fireworks. Slick as shit.

FREE GROLSCH STUFF!
You'll never guess what arrived today!
I submitted my request for a free Grolsch beer opener a few months back....mmmmm Grolsch:
And it arrived...today! It's so cool, like those old transformers happy meals or the matchbox ones :)
Now if only I had a Guinness towel and beer opener :(

Can't talk to a psycho like a normal human being
Ever get dressed in the morning, and then walk by the mirror an notice your underwear matches your shirt? I think the creepy factore is amplified by the gender. If you a chick, then it's cool and shows you are tasteful....if your a guy (which I am) it's just kinda weird.
I mean weird like when a 40 year old man with a bad comb over and a weight problem buys 10 can's of Insta-cheese topping at 2:27am.
Anyways, a friendly reminder to everyone to run these programs and make sure you don't have any nasties:
Spybot: Search and Destroy (immunize is your friend, and so is update)
Ad Aware 6.0 (once again, update is your friend) There are a few other tricks of course, but I need to keep my secrets...although i think i've taught jen to much already

Instanbul (Not Constantinople)
I never made a mistake in my life.
I thought I did once, but I was wrong.
-- Lucy Van Pelt Imagine all the C4 you could fit on that! High tech suicide bombings and now you don't even have to run up to your victim. Seriously, who would see this coming?
Heh, horrible joke but still funny :)
And just for kicks, here's a side by side comparison of the old room's verses what we've done with the house so far.
