Smoking Lounge

I finally cleaned my garage this weekend - it was so messy I couldn't even walk through it. Now, it's respectable. It'll become the new smoking lounge, and if anything else, the site for this years Super Bowl extravaganza party.
Other then that, the weekend was pretty mild. Very relaxing. I watched a ton of hockey and even tried my hand and grilling a duck - (I have 7 more frozen ducks if anyones interested!).. On with the daily links:

I don't think any amount of beer would make me jump the glass at a hockey game, and approach the opposite teams bench. This guy got a machine gun of blows to the head when he tried it. I'm not sure what his intentions were, but I'd have to say he got his ass kicked!

Chewbacca's Blog: I didn't know this dude kept a blog!

My blog is 72% Good, and 28% Evil. Woohoo!
Rate your website.

HeMale or SheMale: Take the quiz! Pictures of various woman, you need to decide whether they are really a guy or a girl. I didn't do so good. Let me know if you get them all right

Free Stock Photos! A giant list of websites with free stock photos that you can use in your however you wish! Very cool.

Wireless USB coming soon! (Yeah, I'm a geek).

Friday, Friday, Friday

You think I would learn, that a 3 mile run the morning after having multiple beers might be difficult.. Actually the most difficult part was motivating myself to put the running shoes on!
Here's some motivational links to get you through your Friday:

Fastr - Instructions: Random Flickr photos with the same theme/tags pop up, you have to guess what the theme is. Very fun.

Ever since I heard about the Go-Daddy commercial that was rejected from the Super Bowl - I wanted to check it out. This doesn't seem so bad.

What happens when you fill a supersoaker water gun with WD40, then light the end? See for yourself!

I loved this show! StreetHawk - probably one of the reasons I ride a cycle today!

Read the world news: World map pops up, mouse over the various colored buttons to see the news headlines. Whoever programmed this is a genius. Helps to turn off the red balloon.

Taste the Rainbow of FrustrationFrom TheSneeze.com: This blog is hilarious.. check out some of his other postings.

Funny Monopoly Cards: I haven't played the game in a long time, but I'm sure these would make it much more interesting!

Dear NHL Center Ice....

My friends and I were discussing how cool it would be to have NHL Center Ice. We could would never miss a game, and be able to see the action live, rather then viewing highlights of the game on ESPN.
The problem, and why none of us subscribed yet: We aren't home enough to sit in front of our TV's to watch it. Most of us travel a lot, or work odd hours at the office. Oh, we could always Tivo the games, but it kind of loses something not seeing the game live.

The one thing all of us have access to pretty much at all times (except for when we're driving), is a computer. We brainstormed an idea that I really think would help your company grow subscribers, and put yourselves on the forefront of where the internet and cable television is heading anyways.

NHL Center Ice subscription, would include the cable channel, but it would also include a login/password protected account where you could login, and watch a game right from the computer. So, if I'm at the office late, but would like to have the game on, I could login, and watch the game. If I'm traveling, and in a hotel room, I could login and watch a game.

Might sound like a crazy idea, but I really can see this happening in the near future with other cable stations or movie channels. Right now, purchasing the subscription to NHL Center Ice, really isn't practical to my friends and I. If you added a feature like this, I can bet all of my friends and I would be subscribing.

Thank you for reading, I look forward to hearing from you.

==================

Rob:

Thank you for your email and continued interest in the NHL. Sorry for the delay in response.

At this time, there are no plans to air games on the Internet. This is an issue we are looking into further.

Thanks again for the email.

iPod For Sale!

Well, this week has been good so far. I fixed my ipod. It was broke, well, not super broke, but I wasn't able to load music on to it. I'm debating on selling it now that it's restored (like brand new!). Anyone interested?!

Disney buys Pixar for 7.4 Billion dollars. Can Steve Jobs get any richer?! I'm about to help his empire by buying an iPod video.. well, I'd like to.. Jen reads this, so I have to be realistic about what I want and need. :)

Dudeology - find out how much of a dude you are. If you win, your treated to a video of some chicks. Give me a hollar if you do, because I failed this miserably..

Since I posted a raunchy site last weekend, I'm going to post this. I was literally laughing my ass off one right after another reading these.. holy crap, prepare to laugh: The Best Cyber Sex(more like cyber sex gone wrong..!)

Oh man, even better. Check out this video of this kid crying and whining about his Mustang getting towed away.

If your an RSS feed junkie, like I am - check this page out: Taking RSS beyond headlines - I added an NHL RSS to my feeds.. woohoo!

Morphases: This is pretty bad ass. You can take a random face and morph it using the program they have. I could play this one for hours...

Saw this on ForgetFoo today. The Five Stages of Drunkeness.. we've all been there! :)

And finally, check out HockeyFights.com - miss a fight during a game because the waitress wasn't bringing your PBR's fast enough so you were trying to get the bartenders attention?! Well then, check here the next day.. fights are updated daily.

A pile of meat.


Wow that looks pretty gross! Last night we attended the annual wild game dinner at the Erie Twp. fire department. We all ate so much we couldn't move for an hour or so. On this plate, you really can't see it all, but there is: Deer, Buffalo, Quail, Goose, Alligator, Walleye, Rabbit, Pheasant, Elk and.. I think that's about it. Oh wait, there's a little Duck too.

Check this out:




This is the Flickr Clock. Kind of like the human clock, but, well, with no humans - just numbers.




Next up is the Simpson Maker. You can make your own Simpson character, kind of like Mr. Potato Head - only using Simpson parts. Pretty cool.

And last, but not least: The Sin Box. I wasn't going to post this, because half of these are pretty raunchy - but, read at your own discression. There really are some funny posts on here. It's like a confessional on the internet.. people confessing their sins - makes me feel like a pretty good person after reading these! My post would probably be that I don't clean up the dog poop in the back yard as much as I should, and Henry goes out there and thinks it's treats. haha. GROSS!

It's Friday!











So, it's Friday. Aaron and I went to the bar. I didn't know it was going to be an Aaron photo shoot, but he demanded. After 23 beers, he gave me $4 to take pictures of him. Now, I know that doesn't seem like a lot, but, do you know how many Red Dogs you can get for $4?! More then you think. So, it's Friday night, and Aarons letting it all hang out... after a beer and cigar that is.

Believe it or not...


If you ever wondered why I turned out the way I am today, this guy is to blame. I saw every single episode of this show, and loved all of them. I knew the theme song by heart. Believe it or not, I'm walkin on air, I never thought i could feel so free...
Hey - remind me of this guy around halloween time when I'm looking for a costume!

My new favorite toy


I needed an iPod holder for the civic. I tend to drive that car fast, especially around corners because it handles so well. I kept having to grab the iPod cuz it would go flying. I did a bit of research and found the Nyko Car Mount. It clips onto the heater vent, and the iPod sits in it. I can race around and it stays put, and plays my favorite tunes. It makes me think, that there will only be more features in new cars for iPods - I've already been hearing a lot of the new vehicles have iPod holders, plug ins, etc.

The snot heard round the world!

< Photo was removed upon request (if you didn't see it, it was a close up of a kids face, with snot dripping out of his nose and down his mouth, it was really pretty awesome, as far as snot goes!) - read comments below - Also, if your interested, check out this chicks website, she does some bad ass quilting >

I have never blogged anyone elses picture before from flickr, but this photo made me laugh. Maybe because, well, I might have had the same thing happen to me - not a tantrum, but the snot. Of course, that was way back when i was a kid.. not like a month ago or anything.....
Speaking of snot though, I just got over being sick, and suddenly have come down with a sinus problem.. I have some antibiotics, so I'm taking those and sinus meds. Ugh! Will i ever get better?!

If you have a free few minutes, watch this comedian.
He cracked me up.

Sillly dog: Watch this dog get tricked. I don't know why but this had me laughing.. I think because it looks like Henry.

Water the plants: This is kind of mezmorizing... hey those aren't.. nah. haha.

Remember the guy that ran out on the field for the superbowl?! Here's his punishment: Superbowl Jail.

Game:Rooftop Skater - this is pretty fun, I played it for a long time, and didn't get too far..
GameCubefield - this game is awesome! it's pretty quick, and has you on the edge of your seat.. no swearing at it though, i got yelled at for that.

DailySnap: For my photo pals. Looks like a new pic everyday.. and you can RSS it!

HEY. Reminder - if anyone wants a Gmail account, let me know - I'll hook you up. Then you can have a Google IG page, and can create RSS's on your home page.. so you won't have to surf to my blog anymore to see if I updated it. It'll pop in an update each time I update... or any other site you subscribe to. I'm tellin ya'll, it's the way of the future!! :)

Happy MLK


If you have the time to watch this, it's pretty funny - from our friends over at MostOffensiveVideos.com It almost reminds me of/sounds like Dave Chappelle. Anyhow, have a good day off all you that have sissy jobs. :)

Nothin new...

Not much has been going on with me. I've taken over my new web position at work, and it's been busy as all heck. This weekend has been pretty relaxing, it's Saturday night, and I'm sitting home watching hockey! Pretty rare for me.. but it makes for a relaxing and less expensive weekend staying home. Anyhow, here are some sites I've ran across this week.. enjoy.

For those of you that have played xbox live, you'll totally dig this video: How to talk smack on Xbox LIve

Beer ban lifted! Westerville Ohio can finally drink beer. It's about damn time.

File Swap. This is pretty cool. You upload one of your files to it, and it randomly grabs someone else's file that they uploaded, and you download that. Try it out. I got some picture of a dinner with wine glasses.

A Jeep commercial. I've never seen this before.. hmm.
Jeeps. Bouncy and Fun.

Word of the day! This is pretty cool, you can subscribe and get a new word every day. We all need to learn some new words eh?!

Geek tattoos - wow, check some of these out. Who would get Nintendo tatoo'd on them?!

Ebert and Roeper's worst movies of 2005. I'd have to agree with some of these. Longest Yard was awful.

Ten Best Things to Say if you Get Caught Sleeping at Your Desk:

10."They told me at the Blood Bank this might happen."

9."This is just a 15 minute power nap they raved about in the time
management course you sent me to."

8."Whew! Guess I left the top off the Whiteout. You probably got here just
in time."

7."I wasn't sleeping! I was meditating on the mission statement and
envisioning a new business strategy."

6."I was testing my keyboard for drool resistance."

5."I was doing a highly specific Yoga exercise to relieve work-related
stress.

Are you discriminatory toward people who practice Yoga?"

4."Darn! Why did you interrupt me? I had almost figured out how to handle
that big accounting problem."

3."Did you ever notice sound coming out of these keyboards when you put your
ear down real close?"

2."Who put decaf in the wrong pot?"

AND THE NUMBER ONE best thing to say if you get caught sleeping at your
desk...

It was pretty easy - the molding was the toughest part. Jen and I went to Smokey Bones this weekend. I had ribs. There was a little box at the table, where you could choose which channel to listen to, for whatever tv you were watching. We came home and watched the Aviator. Of course, I fell asleep - but from what I saw, it was a good movie. Alright, time for some final weekend relaxation.. Casino's on!

Free photo booth! Jay Leno did a bit on a free photo booth. You have to watch this - people do about anything to get a free picture.

Happy New Years... again.

Today is my floating holiday day, because New Years landed on a Sunday this year. So, I'm celebrating. Actually, I've decided I'm going to take a crack at putting down laminate flooring in my kitchen. I need to measure, get the tools ready and buy the stuff first, well, then of course move appliances around - but, of course, expect before and after pictures. It's not too often I do home remodeling projects, so its kind of a big deal for me. And of course, I decided to post a blog today, because i'm the KING of procrastination. :) If you feel the need to procrastinate today, here are some links to help you out. Oh, by the way, the picture above is from when I wandered Florida for a week a couple years back. I was looking at a travel magazine earlier, and it made me think of the sun and palm trees. Ahhh. I'm patiently waiting for summer.

Send a robotic message to anyones phone: This one is pretty fun. Type in a message, and the persons phone number, and hit send! They will get a text-to-speech message when they answer. It rattles off your IP address at the end, but no one will figure out what the hell that is. It works too, I tried it. I'll be sending everyone that doesn't read this messages soon too - especially if my floor project goes sour!

New Years Resolutions!: This site gives a random resolution, just in case you can't decide. It's kind of like a magic 8 ball, refresh to get a different one. Mine was: To pick my nose at stop lights. Hmm. that's nothing new..

This has some good links to it. The top falling sand one is awesome. If you dig that, check out this sand art site.

Eye Popping Video: Watch this! It's kind of, um, well, odd! A guy practically pops his eyeball out, just for fun. :)
