  • yay for new hobbies

    So, since I don't have enough expensive hobbies, I've picked up another one this weekend. Remote Control Cars. My dad & I used to do these all the time long ago, but since then I haven't been involved in it. So, I visited the local HobbyTown USA and picked up a Traxxas E-Maxx. The thing…

  • news anchors

    You've always wondered what news anchors are thinking about as they drone on about the same bit of news over and over and over again. Well, recently one of the Fox News anchors slipped up and gave us a little clue. Warning: It's almost not safe for work, and it's in Windows Media Player format.

  • you gotta take care of your own

    And this story proves it. My favorite part of the article? “I would have used a shotgun, but I had just had new countertops done and I didn't want to tear up the kitchen.” That cracks me up.

  • war

    so, once again we're at war in the mid-east. for a more sobering personal log of what's going on in Baghdad, check Dear Raed, a blog of an Iraqi in Baghdad.

  • It’s about time

    Looks like U.S. Money will finally have different colors for different denominations of bills starting with the $20. I say it's about time! See story at CNN/Money.

  • New Cell Phone

    Got a new cell phone today. Samsung A500. Wow. I've already got it playing Margaritaville as my ring tone. t1mmy.net provides a great way to get new ring tones on the phone, and a500hacking.com is trying to get info on the internals. Oh, it's got a different phone number than my current cell, so if…

  • Public Service Announcement

    Courtesy of Danny, here's the latest info in the continuing War on Terrorism: As we all know, the Taliban considers it a sin for a man to see a naked woman who is not his wife. So, next Saturday at 2:00 PM Eastern time all American women are asked to walk out of their house…
