Little late but better Nate than Lever. Anwyay We went to wings last night and it was yummy! I ate waaaaay to much and I'm sure I'll pay for it today.
Every once in a while something comes along that I just think is bad ass! This is one of those things. DVD Profiler is software that will help track your DVDs. Most of you by now have had the joy of putting a CD in your computer and having the media player or winamp or something look up your cd on the internet and fill in all the song names and artist and stuff. Well this does that for DVDs I can punch in the UPC number or name of a DVD and it will download cover art, special features, screen sizes, audio info, cast and crew ala IMDB. It's very very cool! It has the ability to check out your disc so when your sister or friends take them you can track who has what! Oh yea did I mention the reports ... YES! Anwyay if you have more than one go check it out, it's free with banner ads and $25 for extended features and such. I'm prolly going for the $25 and I don't do that to often!
From the makers of the now famous FuckedCompany.com comes Internal Memos.com... A collection of memos from companies that were not intended for puplic consumption. There is a pay structure set up here but there are a lot of freebies, so enjoy! thanks to G for the link!
Want to SEE an asteroid? Well grab a pair of binocs and 6-pack on the 17th and take a look... get the full info here.
Well I have harped on the Vaporous Hiptop for a while now. The next coolest phone I know of is the Sony/Ericson T68 ... well it seems that Sony/Ericson is starting one hell of an ad campaign to promote the phone. They are going to have actors playing games at the bar with the phone and fake tourist asking people to take thier picture with it. Dubious indeed! It is a coool phone though...
Can you imagine freefalling for over 6 minutes or going 800 mph with only a parchute on your back? this guy is going to attempt to freefall from the edge of space and break the sound barrier!
Oh yea, you remember that asteroid that was going to hit Earth? it isn't.
OMG TECHNOLUST and Star Wars in the same package! You can now own your own voice recognizing Astromech Droid... some of you are thinking that's just not that cool? Well look at this video first! mmmmmmm R2

How was your weekend, mine was great!
Thursday
Astros day game... seats were on the club level and were freakin awesome! The 'stros kicked ass too which made it pretty fun!
Friday I took Dade to Jillians, Red Robin and Stuart Little 2 at the Marq*e afterwards we ate ice cream. He had a blast! The movie wasn't half bad either.
Saturday after some prodding R and P went with us to dinner and a show. We started out not knowing where we were going, I had Fandangoed 7:30 tix to Road to Perdition but dinner was up in the air! After some deliberation we ended up at the Sambucca Jazz Cafe in downtown Houston. Very Nice... kick ass food! Great time was had, could have stayed there all night really lots of fun, but off to the movie. We went to Edwards over on Weslayan. It was not super crowded but it was full. The movie was pretty good, it had some low spots but over all I give it a thumbs up! Great night can't wait to do it again!
Sunday
Lunch at Mom and Dad's house and swim before the rain came, which it didn't. Watched Monster's Ball last night too... why did everyone think this movie was all that... I thought it was kinda crappy.
Did you guys hear about the UFOs that flew over the capitol on friday? No For real!
Whoa I'm feeling more apt to blog it today... Daisy is fine, minus 10 teeth but fine none the less. Angie was at the ball game last night when Ausmus had a flip out! What the hell was all of that... and I'm going to todays game thanks to S!
So you've all seen vanity plates going down the road and sometimes you just can't figure out what they are saying... well after reading through a few hunder on this site, I have a new found understanding for how to read a pl8.
Y'all know I have a Star Wars jones, check this out! Lot's fan made movies here that are nothing short of incredible.
Speaking of Star Wars... I got a new saber!
Now this is a new twist on the whole piracy bootleg thing. It seems like the industries are trying to get a law passed that if they can detect pirated music, videos etc... on you machine then they can hack it with immunity... BS I say!
You've heard of "Death by Chocolate"... well now it's real.
Another day in the books... WaterWorld was much better yesterday but still not good... it's to bad that it has to be that way too. The slime pit was still there as well as all the hazard I saw last time... lots and lots of disinterested employees as well... at least this time I only got inconvienanced by one of them. Dade had a ball by the way!
You knew it would happen sooner or later, the sky is really falling I think I hear Aerosmith playing...
Oh man I gottta go Daisy had 10 freakin teeth pulled out today and I have to go and pick her up! Man that dog had the worst breath you've ever smelled in your life! ugo!
Short blog today... I'm off to Waterworld in a couple of hours... I know after that last rant I ought to be shot for even thinking of going, but the thing is we bought season passes on that trip and I'll be damned if I'm not getting my money's worth out of them. Anyway how about a few links...
Unstoppable viruses, massive blackouts, hacked pacemakers? The government's number two cyber security guy wasn't this apocalyptic when he worked for Microsoft. WOW!
TECHNOLUST ALERT iPod competition ... I say Trust your Technolust!
Saba is a prime example of what not to do with a website... IE only... btw great layout, just hate the takeover aspect of it!
if you can get it to work... Booby is pretty good!
Blogedty blog blog... wow what a weekend! It seems like forever since I talked to you all! Our big deal this weekend was the trip Crystal Beach... J turned 30 and they rented a beach house on Crystal Beach. We went on Friday when Angie got off of work... this is the first time in years that I have been across the Boliver ferry. Anyway we got there at dark... it was fun and ended at about 3a we had to come back early the next day but that was ok. They stayed the weekend... so if you know J give her hell... what a geezer!
So is there going to be as much hype about Worldcom as there was about Enron? I doubt it... Enron plowed the field, the rest will just follow. BTW if your looking to invest money in the market... they say sex sells.
Google it's not just for searching anymore... neato!
Sometime human will is simply amazing... I can't imaging the pain this man must have been in, mentally and phyically.
All men should read this and pay attention to number 4! I knew it!
you know, we've all seen the video of the cop slamin the kid on the car and then punching him and I'm sick of hearing how this cop should automatically lose his job. you don't what happened before this video... I know there are those who would say nothing could have happened to warrant that. Ok what if they tackled him because he was running, they cuffed him on the ground and when they tried to search him for weapons he rolled over and kicked them? ok what if he tried to reach in his back pocket and pulled out a gun? worse what if before that he had pulled a gun and shot at them? from what I saw the video looks bad, but if you look at the punching cop his head is bleeding. something must have happened before this. all I'm saying is get down off the lynch mob mentality and make a descision for yourself, not what the media tells you to think... disgusted I am...
hiddy ho today! Last night I watched Batman Forever.. That Riddler part was made for Jim Carrey! Awesome! Anyway after that I decided it was time to sell my ISDN lan modem. So off to ebay! So anyway after putzing around with itfor an hour I got it up there... it sold and the guy already PayPaled me the money! Kick Ass! Then I get a note from a fellow Halloweener that they need some help with a website... so I call 'em up get the particulars, and do the work (it was nothing really) and Bam they have already PayPaled me the money... I love PayPal!
On another Ebay note...look at what I got outbid on at the last moment! ugghhh I need to complete my collection!
Finally there is this. It seems that someone got 3 ebay accounts and used two of them to bid the price up to astonomical proportions. (over $800 in this case) Then at the almost end of the auction retracted the two users bids leaving the third sitting pretty with a cheap price. While all of this was going on someone was emailing all of the auction participants and trying to sell them another version of the diary for a lot less. All in all wow this thing was doomed to be pulled and I agree with him. It's normally worth $500-$600 but not $800 and certainly not $300.
R sent me both of the next 2 links... Man who had sex with underwear-clad dogs forced to flee nuff said.
Allen Iverson's story whatever... oh and keep mom under wraps she's not helping... click the video to see for yourself... better bring an ebonics dictionary though.
Slow today too! I will press on... last night Angie got me a copy of Batman Legacy all 4 Batman DVDs in one box... super cool! We watched the original last night, I had forgotten most of it so it was quite fun to watch... on another note... Wags WTF! Come on... damn!

Did you know the Tour 'de France is going on right now... Lance Armstrong is in 2nd as of today but he's getting to the stages where he normally kicks ass... this guy is flat out amazing he was about to die from testicular cancer and came back to win the Tour what 2 times in a row now... he is the baddest man on the planet... my friend R sent me this link about Lance's wife and visiting President Bush with thier son... pretty cool.

Ok I'm going to have to have a small entry today because my connection here at the office is blowing up... I had a great weekend how about you? I took Dade to the Eagle Point Wave pool and to see MIIB on Friday, we got home just in time to for a bad ass storm to come in and fry another sensor in my alarm system. WTF! Along with my phone, my satelite and cable modem freaking out it was a harrowing 3 hours! Saturday I went to see a friend of mine L, his daughter A turned 2, they had a cool slip and slide set up the hill in the backyard. The thing was 100 feet long and you got flyin by the end of it wow! Lot's of fun! I also found out he's got a C card! YEA! Anyway Sunday was good too lunch at Mom and Dad's a short dip, another big storm and then a trip walFart... Watched The Musketeer(pretty good), Shallow Hal(soso), The Majestic(wait for cable but see it) and Jimmy Nutron(if you a child buy it).
