Take a close look at the music industry and it makes you wonder if P2P is this will take off or not... one can only hope.
I'm not sure how I feel about this. It turns out that AOL has aquired a patent on Instant Messaging. Normal I'd be all over this kind of thing with what next someone is going to patent breathing or driving, but in this it's really ICQ and in reality they were very much way out in front of the MSNs and AOLIMs of the world. So bully to them... but ... hmmm... I don't know because it's very pervasive in the world now a days... hmmm I'm really torn here.
Ok this Lemmings tyle game kept me busy for way longer than it should have...
Hold your ears and flush! I gotta get me one of these!
Have you ever wondered about the science behind tipping? How Stuff Works has an interesting study on it.
While it used to be exploding toilets and then rutting yards now the pranks just get higher tech! Prankster adds porn to school's anthem video ... funny, but ahem, I'm outraged at this behavior, he!
In the holy crap department... we've all heard of Playstation right? It's a Sony product... well guess waht that name is owned by Nintendo and Nintendo had a Playstation product in the works for a CD and Cartridge based system to play SNES games. Well they settled reccently... Sony owes them... get this 10% of Sony's proceeds, past and present on the "PlayStation" name, currently amounting to approximately $2.3 billion!!!!! Holy crap! Here is the link to the story but it's been down for awhile now,here is the /. link.

LOTRTTT Today!!!! Am I going ... nope. Friday... more later...
Way back when, I used to be addicted to Photon, what is that? Photon was the first Laser Tag style game out there. It was basicaly a franchise started by some guy in Dallas. It was done very well... from the moment you walked in to the place you were in another world, everything was themed like you were in space. Lot's of blacklights and fog machines. Lot's of computers hanging from the ceilings showing you progress of games that were active. Our Photon in Houston had two fields. It was a team based game that was capture the flag, but the flag was just something you shot once. It did not end the game. If you yourself were were shot you would be disabled for 4 seconds making it very hard to return fire. Being disabled meant get out of there quick or you're gonna be target practice, allowing them to rack up points. Everyone had a code name and a special ID that had to use to pass into to the game adding to the realism. The playfileds were elaborate with ramps, multiple levels, hideyholes, bunkers, all kinds of things, plus during the middle of the game a the cool soundtrack would countdown to an explosion and if you did not take cover a strobe bomb would disable you. Another cool thing was the scoring was kept realtime for everyone not platying to see, plus there was an obersvation deck that had gun stations on them so observers could put in a quarter and join in the fray, although those had no bearing on your game and did not disable you. It was like living in Tron or something, the thing I remember the most is how a 7 minute game could shatter you. I would walk out just dripping wet with sweat, and higher than a kite on addreneline... I guess kids today just play Quake and Unreal and the likes... we didn't have those back then so we made our own...
For those who remember... try this or see some pics at this site and for those who played there... listen to the soundtrack! how cool is THAT!!!! All of the soundtracks can be found here!
In honor of the opening day of LOTRTTT here is what happened when AOTC opened and the Late Night Show got a hold of the nerd line... I had tears watching this! Star Wars Nerd Line...

Is the weekend over already? Geez! Watched Brotherhood of the Wolf on Friday pass... watched Sum of all Fears Saturday yea... watched K19 on Sunday... ok not bad...
Every day for the past few weeks on my way home I take Dade right past a traveling carnival that is in town. He always asks to stop and I always tell him we already have and that we'll go to the next one that comes to town. Anyway he always tells me he wants one of those (fill in a ride) in his backyard... well... www.usedrides.com/ hmmmm I wonder...
Why should you be reading this wil Mozilla? ...because Playboy says so!
The nuclear bomb is small enough to be hidden in a briefcase, but its force levels downtown Houston, flattening most of the 58 skyscrapers and killing about 130,000 workers. ... The wind drags the deadly radioactive cloud through the East End and beyond the Loop, killing 10 percent of those in its stream and sickening thousands more. ... damn
Keep spreading the word... warchalking I've talked about it before, I've yet to see one...
For the sophisticated drunkard... Bar Signs ... when you are to drunk to speak!
Who heard what Trent Lott said the other day... what a bunch of crap... I'm sick and damn tired of things like this getting blown out of proportion. Do you really think the guy was saying we should revive segregation... puuhlease! It's incredible how left the media is these days, even in a right wing dominated area of the country! When is the last time you heard someone refered to as Left Wing Representitive xxxx or extreme left or liberal anything, other than on Rush or Hanity? Now how many times have you heard it the other way around... try listening for a week and see if I'm not correct... if someone were to come out with a right-centric news station it's ratings would probably soar... oh wait that's Fox gee maybe that's why they on track to be number one in the market within 2 years! .enough!
It had to happen... Google is taking over the world! Today they unvieled www.froogle.com incredible... so fun... so good... where do I buy the stock?
Seems incredible but people are starting to pay big money for chunks of VR worlds. I could see me making money at this... hmmm
Ha! This! is something new? Interchange has been doing this for years! Just never knew the name for it! Edge Power!
We've all gotten that message before... send this email to everyone you know because XXX. Well don't you know that even if it's not a 'virus' you are perpetuating the thing and so it is a 'virus' ... geez... click me to see a little funny something about that... thanks to R for the link... BTW surf around that site, there is some other good stuff there like this one!
Also from R... well this is pretty clever, someone sent a package through FedEx to Santa Clause at the the north pole, then they tracked it to see where it went! wanna see?
v.cool
Holy crap! These are so cool! and only $30! They go on the spokes of your bike, and you program them to spell out words or a pattern in LED lights when you ride at night! How Cool! Check out the video... so cool!
You know how I love Tivo well it's getting worse and worse! Tivo announced some features for the new versions coming out and there are some good things in there... like the ability to hear MP3s and view JPEGs or have your own Tivo webpage! How cool! Let me get on the web and record that show...

Well more than one person think I should write a letter to Dodge, maybe I will... it's obvious tome that if they would have even looked they would have seen the quarter stuck in there. Anwyay where do you want me to take you today?

So I wake up this morning feeling pretty good. Get a shower and head out 4 minutes ahead of schedule! Pretty good! Anyway I'm just getting out of town when I notice my seat is not in the fully upright position. Well in the evenings I recline it a bit if I'm sitting in traffic and otherwise I like it straight up and down. Anyway so I reach down pull the lever and nothing... it does not come up?!?! hmmm.... ok it's been a little off lately so I recline it a "notch" so the mechanism will relase and then it can go up, it stays one notch lower. Well it's only two notches down from straight up which not so bad until I decide to give it some and it slams all the way back against the back seat, while I'm doing 70 down 225! Hello! After regaining control of the vehicle and my pants I realize the seat now stuck in the fully fully reclined position...WTF! I pull over and jack with it for 3-4 minutes and say screw it, sit on a folded up tarp I have in the back and drive on in to work.
Once in the parking lot I proceed to start dismantling the seat, but it's dark and hard to see and I can't really get anywhere so forget it I go on in and look it up on the internet... a couple of phone calls later I'm off to the dealer to throw gobs of cash at them and see if they can fix it... how much do you think a truck seat costs? I'll answer that in a minute!
Around lunch I get the call "Mr. Morton, this is Allen Samuels Dodge, I got the estimate on your truck... they are going to have to replace the upper part of the seat and the hinge mechanism"... "ok how much is that?"... "the total is gonna run you $422.14." ... "what! for half a seat! forget it!" an hour later I pick up the truck and to thier credit they did not charge me any labor for looking at it. While I'm there I decied to see how much a whole new seat would cost... $1600! Cloth, no electrics, no heat nothing! Basic driver seat! $1600!!!! Insanity...
Ok I stick a big box in the back seat and lean the seat back against it and drive on back to work. Well you know I can't let a sleeping dog lie so I peel the upholstry off the seat. It come off easily with no damage at all, and I'm able to now see the problem, I have a quarter stuck in the hinge mechanism! Oh yes and it's in a tight spot no way am I able to reach it... wow I guess I'm going to have to take the seat out and flip over and shake it out...
Inside the office I tell everyone about the situ and W pulls out the longest needle nose pliers I've ever seen in my life! Hey that might work... p,r,w and me, a lot of jiggling and bloody knuckle later it came out... and it is mangled! That was it, all is well now, except I have to make up a little time at work and now I have a new story to tell!
Long time no bloggie!!!! Taken, are you watching it!!!!! Wow it's really good... can't wait for tonights episode. What did I do for the last week... well let me tell you... not much really. I've been working really really hard at the office and it's resulting in my leaving late and not wanting to blog much.
Angie and I took Dade to a carnival at the mall this week and I was really proud of him. He awas scared but he went on just about everything we asked him to. Some things twice! It was fun fun, and for some reason the total cost was only $12 a person to ride it all! Maybe because there was a competing carnival down the road, or maybe because it was damn cold that night!
I think the HipTop is very cool but the battery just sucks! It is growing in popularity though.
Want to see some very cool 3d renderings and animations? Go here! Where do they get the time to do this stuff!
