I know long time no bloggy... well I've been busy and sick so back off. Anyway I have decided to take a position with GDS starting monday. We'll see how it goes. I am so happy to get off the no money spending routine. I have not bought any DVDs or gone out to eat in 4 weeks now! ohhh the horraaah!
Those guys over at Call for Help on TechTv have put out a geek link list. It has some good links like PocketPCThoughts.com and Slashdot. Anwyay if you are looking for good link list, other than my blog, click CFH Net Resources for good geeky list!
So so football today what a yawner... anyway my friend R got Dish network this weekend. I have been a DirectTV guy forever but I must admit I was impressed. Oh man I am excited I am going to get my Vader ANH saber this week! Now just need a way to display them. Anyone have a suggestion?
Click this and look closely at the hallway... sometimes you have to kinda stare at it for a 30 seconds or so.
You guys know I am a huge Tron fan by now. The director of Tron, Steve Lisberger, is going to be on The ScreenSavers on TechTV on Tuesday night in case any of you care...maybe he'll talk about killerapp.com or Tron 2.0!
Do any of you remember the video game Tapper? Now you can play online! Go here then find Bartender, to cool!
Another day another day... nothing new to report today except I am now going into the weekend empty handed. I have contacted GDS, the place I worked before I got the insanity that was moving on about the internet and I will be talking to them on Monday.
Does anyone believe bin laden is dead? I don't, and I hope we don't find him so we can use that as an excuse to go on and blow up some more terrorist camps.
Well the long running X-Files is finally calling it quits. I have to say it is time. I loved the early days of the X-Files(Mr.Squishy Man aka Tooms ohhhyeaaa) but like all shows(except the Simpsons) they started exploring the characters and got them wrapped up in some long winded storyline. I like having things go from week to week but keep true to your roots. Look at the Simpsons they are just funny Bart has not grown up and Lisa still does the same thing she always did. It's funny! Anyway let's hope Mulder comes back for one last episode.That would be the tits!
Are you sick and tired of the damn X-10 ad that pops up all the damn time. Well then this site is for you. It lets you opt out of all of the more poular popup ads out there... I don't know how well it works but here's to hope!
Are you a wintel machine user? Are you scared of the Mac? I kinda want one of those new iMacs with the DVD burner in it! Wintel owners truth about Mac myths. Read it and weep... I still like my wintel machine.
Holy crap it's getting closer, they are developing an exoskelton you will wear that will help run faster and jump further... Look out Steve Austin!
you may now return to your yahoo games I mentioned yesterday...i.am.SAM
Another day another long job search... uggg I found out today that I should qualify for $320/week for unemployment. So at least I can pay for my COBRA on my health insurance. They also have plans for education so I may try to get a CERT out of this if it drags on to long. I am however getting to spend even more time with Dade than normal and I do like that. It will make extra bad though when i don't have Fridays off anymore. DAMN!
let's get some links going... The next biggerest thing... technolust heaven... geek nirvana, or cruel hoax you tell me.
Ok I know ratemypoo was over the top but sometimes you need to get that slap with a big fish...ok I know some of you sit around do nothing but look at porn all day, so if you'd like something else to waste your time try Yahoo Games. There is a ton of great stuff here and many are VERY addictive so watch out...
My friend S sent me this... WTF? prosopagnosia is a face blindness... very strange....
ahhh that's enough... I'm going to watch my new American Pie 2 DVD... i.am.sam
This sitting at home stuff is for the birds! I need to work, if I don't get something soon I am going to have to start something on my own. On a light note I had a ton of fun trying to teach Dade to rollerskate today. He busted his ass about a hundred times but he a real trooper... he just kept at it. He tends to roller walk more than roller skate but he'll get it sooner or later.
One link only today... ooey gooey one too... www.ratemypoo.com, I think the name says it all...i.am.samu
Had an interview today with placement agency... It didn't go that well... low pay and the job was in the Woodlands. Anyway it looks like my insurance will run out in about 24 hours so that is always fun... you know I just don't feel like talking about it anymore.
Couple of quick links... This is a really cool flash clock!
Well I'm back from Vegas and only $400 in the hole... not bad. I saw a ton of cool profucts at the CES show and got to have a little fun to. I will say that being unemployed sure did make the losing hurt a bit more. Anyway on with a real blog entry for a change!
I'm sure you've all seen this but the iMac just came out with a new version of itself complete with a DVD burner! It looks very cool... See it!
Alot of you know I'm a big fat TiVo head! I just love it! Well TiVo unvieled a new version of the TiVo. It was not the best thing I saw there, but it may be the first I buy!
The Moxie Media Center was pretty damn cool... I kinda wonder if they can pull it off at the price point they have set but we'll see. It will converge TiVo like functionality along with MP3 and many other things to a single box that will communicate wirelessly via 802.11a to all of the other TVs in your house... yes all of them... imagine a do it all entertainment center that does not have wires and that is what they are shooting for... all at $300-$400... yea right!
My personal favorite thing I saw was the Hiptop. It's a cell phone, PDA, and a GSM/GPRS web data phone. It has a very cool interface with a keyboard and snap in camera. What does it do? Well use it a as a phone, or surf the web with a browser that actually looks right. Take a quick picture and beam it to someone via email instantly. It's small and are you ready for this it's only $200 with a $30 monthly UNLIMITED DATA stream and 500 minutes of talk time! This is very cool!
Well that is enough for now... anyone have any work for me? I am looking!
Here I stand in te middle of the show floor in Las Vegas at CES! What a cool place for a blog entry! Anyway Angie and are losing our ass, as you do when you come here. We played a bit last night and did nothing good. I managed 20 hands in a row of Let it Ride without a single hit. Anyway I'm to see if I can get a few more blisters on my feet... this thing is so huge! See y'all on Friday!
If you think it's 'neck call me 'neck but the Monster Truck thing last night was BAD ASS! Gravedigger and Meents what a show there was masive destruction, hell one truck crashed into the stands, there was a 3 storie robot dinosaur, the noise, the fumes, the engines ugh ugh ugh !! MORE POWER! To much fun! Now for all of you who would not be caught dead at one these events, fine keep it to yourself, stay home and watch tv. Meanwhile I'll be out planning the next, Monster Truck, Nascar, Snowmaker, Paintball, Skydiving, Halloween, drag racing, whatever I think of tonight kind of event. can you say scuba?!?
Since one of things on my mind right now is job hunting here are a few sites related to that...
Does anyone have any free software the does web cam captures and motion detection. I want it for home and office, if I ever get one, and I don't want it bombing the hell out of my server all day if there is nothing going on in front of the camera... I've seen a few but nothing fits the bill yet. i.am.samuneck
