If this works out it could change the face of electric cars forever. This guy is testing an electric car that can go 100MPH and go from "Hundreds of miles" without recharging.
Case modders ar getting nuts these days... and the manufacturers are listening to them...These cases are made with a new super small motherboard geared just for the case modder. Lot's of cool projects there!
Got lots of spam? welcome to the club! Well according to this CNN article the FTC is encouraging you to forward all of your spam to the email adress uce@ftc.gov ... not sure what they going to do with all of it though...
Well the storm is now a storm... I'm hoping it will miss us. I've been working all day on Halloween stuff but stopped just long enought o come in here and do this... plus I was hungry!
Got a bonus timely entry for today... thanks to big G for the heads up!
Storm! right off of Galveston there has been a low pressure system that has stalled and now is threatening to turn into a storm. Figures! Keep an eye out here and here for up to the minute storm stuff as well.
No wings tonight damn it...2 in a row... next week for sure!
Since I'm here ... need a pocket pc? Amazon has the Tosh e310 for $269 after rebate! Nice!
OMG it has come to my attetion that I have not blogged in awhile now! Did everyone have a good weekend? I worked my way through it... I did manage to get down to Kemah for lunch one day and we rented a few movies. I taught Dade how to throw a frisbee. Now if you want a workout, thry playing frisbee with a 4 year old! Phew! My grandmaw is doing a bit better but it looks like a full recovery is unlikely. She is going to have to go to assisted living (nursing home) starting today. We got real lucky and pulled some strings and got her in to a good place. She thinks it's for physical therapy but we are hoping she'll make some friends and end up liking it there.
would you like some links?
Halloween is drawing nearer, would you like to read some epitaphs to get you in the mood?
It looks like the nerdy computer geek look is changing... at least at the FBI.
WTF, with 911 coming I know your going to get innundated with crap anyway... Ground Zero Theme Park
Leave it to Texas A&M! How cool is this! For you diabetics out there, would you like it if you didn't have to take blood all the time to check your levels? Well there is a tatoo that is being tested that could let you know your level without a test! v.cool
Boo yea... thank you for all the kind words and prayers, my grandmaw is better today. She has started to get the use of the left side of her face back and that is good news!
Special hell yea congrats go to R and P for the news on the double they got! Must have a been a couple of good swimmers in there! CONGRATS!
Thanks R for helping computer up Angie's bike yesterday, it's kickass!
As you know I love Fantasy Football. Well I'm in another league this year so if you want to follow our progress go here. It will offer realtime sorta scoring...
Good lord, what would happen if reality tv were taken off the air? Would there be anything left? The latest one... The Real Beverly Hillbillies ... follow the adventures of a rural, lower-middle class family -- yes, there will be a granny -- as they are transplanted from their humble digs to a Beverly Hills mansion. ughh!
Nice ... some hackers vandalized the RIAA web site... story
Oh man turn away if you squeamish... the latest fad in japan 70 year old hookers
Ok you find yourself wondering if you have anymore gas in your and your fuel gauge is busted what do you do? Look in the tank and see if there is gas in there? Can't see in the tank? Here take this lighter! DUMBASS!
Today was the best game of hearts we've had here... ever! I want to say today has been a good day except. My grandmaw had a small stroke yesterday and a great deal of my energy today has gone toward worying and praying for her. Please include her in your prayers.
I've said it once before... i.am.jedi ... Now do you believe me? :)
How about a convieniance store in a vending machine... why it's be 18' long and take up 200 square feet... yep! and just for balance... how about some live bait!
ok I won in cards today woohoo... but I am pissed off. You know I just hate to lose anything especialy when you are clearly the best at something. Houston did not make the final cut down from 4 to 2 cities for the Olympics. We clearly had the best bid we are far far far ahead of all 3 of the other cities in venues and planning, but nope. San Franciso and New York! I'd say favorites are being played. It reminds me of when they wanted to award one more football franchise. Houston came in with gold! and everyone else came with paper... but they kept not want to give it to Houston. They kept trying to give it to LA. Well inthe end they were finally overwhelmed with what Houston put on the table and now we have the best Stadium in the league, the practice facility in the league and the best eveything else int he league because that's the way we do things here. Everything is bigger in Texas damn it... go have it in the sentimental favorite NY who had the weakest bid alledgedly. There might still be a Gamesbid.com ranking but it just does not matter. They think we are a bunch of cowpokes down here and they always will... incredible.
I know I promised an account of my hack attack but I'm over it... let's just say that I finaly got it fixed. I worked on for almost 30 hours over the weekend, most coming in the night I had to spend up at i-sys.
how about a few links...
Holy crap Minority Report is coming true! The precogs are just computers instead! this story is about a future criminal list. Yes future, they are tagging people before they do anything! Scary!
If I had been faster you could have seen this auction on ebay where someone was selling the screen name Satan for aol... the bid was up to 15,000 when they pulled the plug!
Me sees a computer war a brewin', awhile back I posted a link to an article about how Apple was out and out attacking the pc... well Gateway has jumped in the fight... Gateway fights back
You 20 miles out fishing and you hook a severed human head what do you do? Nothing apparently, put it in a bag and keep on fishin'... you don't want to ruin your day do you? That's what happened to these guys. Thanks to P for the link.
Wow do I have lots to tell today! What a weekend I had let me start with the good stuff... we went out with another couple on Saturday night R and P. Went to Empire Cafe for dinner, oh man it was good, had the Ravioli and oh man it was good! After that went to see XXX with Vin Diesel. I thought how could this lug out Bond James Bond? WOW! I was wrong he kicked it! It was so bad ass! Great night for those few hours who knew it would my only non frantic hours of the weekend!
You see Friday morning I got a call from Interchange letting me know mail was not behaving... I logged in to find out what was up and found it being slammed by a spammer. 25+ hours with only 3 hours of sleep later I was still fighting him, but that story I'm saving for tommorow.
Sunday I had my fantasy football draft and I had not prepared... I scrambled to get it done and barely made it. I did have a decent draft though. More on that as the season progresses.
Oh yea I failed to mention that on Saturday my prototype from my Jurassic Park Cryocan came in.
Ok look at the post time here! If I am not coherent there is a reason! I've been at Interchange all damn day and here it is 1am and I'm still here! Anyway I just had to post this quick link... Jurassic Park Cryocan Video it's 5 megs so download it if you have a good connection. Otherwise come on over and I'll show it to you! :) i.am.sam
TECHNOLUST ALERT - This would be so cool! Typing with your eyes! I wonder what it would do if you were looking at pron? thanks to W for the heads up!
Damn first it was West Nile infected mosquitos, now it's King Kong Grasshoppers! This is about 4 inch long grasshoppers that are eating everything in site and don't seem to be affected by normal poison... about the only thing you can do is hit em with a 2"x4"! DamN!
You know how in all the space movies there is always a force field around the ships? Well scientist are getting closer to a reality of just that. v.cool if it works!
Remember the days when there was no sex and violence on radio or TV? Now it's everywhere. Have they gone to far with this? well it looks like some radio staion might have!
You've heard me say it time and time again I LOVE TIVO! Tivo is the shit! I am not brainwashed either. I must tell you, Tivo finds shows for me! How cool is that! No matter when I sit down to watch tv (usualy after everyone has gone to bed) I have stuff to watch, maybe it's an episode of Cheers or Seinfeld or Friends or maybe it's a race or show about computers or robots! Tivo knows what I like and it finds things I like! Well tonight The Screensavers are going to talk about why they love thier Tivo too... See it and watch it... it has changed the way we watch tv!
must work on Halloween... must work on Websites... must play with Dade... must spend time with Angie... squeeze in a full time job, a dash of JP Cryocan and some prep work for a new addition to the house and that should leave about 8 hours of sleep ... for this week... i.am.samu
