Push, push, vomit...

After a spirited ride from my office to Melissa, I thought it would be a good idea to fall over and pass out. Two of the were not so bad, but the last kicked my puddly back side like its was no ones business.

After making what was the hardest hills I have climbed to date, my normal ride seems a bit easer.

Hippy dippy Geek Report...

USB plus Highlighter...

Well that was always something I needed, an USB flash drive that is also a highlighter.

You to can have this niffty device by High Dexx, for only,, I have no idea there is no price listed.


Something good from Something bad...

If you did not see the cop body check of a Critical Mass rider in NY yet I would recommend hitting it up on the web somewhere. If something good was going to come of all this, its the NYPD Comish Ray Kelly has opened user-generated crime reports to the general public. What does that mean you ask, well it means that now the NYPD will be actually lessening and watching recordings made by citizens on their cell phones and PDAs. I feel so much better that the security of NY city is now in the hands of the general Populace.

A nice fire to lug around...

At 55 lbs. a $3,300 dollar price tag, and burning for 2.5 to 3.5 hours on one fuel cell may seem like a lot of money and hassle. But hey it could all be worth the night of romance it results in. If not I'm sure this is a sure fire way to burn the cat.

I'm not sure how I feel about this one, Creative got a bit more creative with its Zen Mosaic. It comes in 2 and 4GB flavors, for $59.99 and $79.99, 1.8-inch display with 36 hours of audio, 5 hours of video. Its a low end DAP, but I just don't think I like it, and I don't know why



To Beth NoName...

I would like to thank you for taking so much time to send me a Private message, since we have never, will never and hopefully never been able to claim to be acquaintances. I was truly astounded by the length and forethought you put into your message. In reference to the items you outlined I have the following responses.

1) My use of grammar on my blog
You are absolutely correct, I do use use proper grammar on my Blog, in this I say, Read post number 1. Also this blog does not, was not intended to, and most likely will never get that much traffic. I do this for something to keep my self occupied with, keep communication up with my friends, and to share some of the things I find with other. I am amazed that you have such the issues you did with my grammar, its the internet, get over it. After that, if you don't like the way I write, DON'T READ IT!!
2) Use of Engadget posts
They don't care
I link to their site, increasing there traffic (they like that you know)
If you don't like it, DON'T READ IT!!!
3) Links to all that bike stuff
I bike to work, again Read post 1. My friends are bikers. We like biking, its my blog, I'm going to put things up that I/we like to do. Not what you/you like to do. Again, if you don't like the links I have posted DON'T CLICK ON THEM!!!
4) Posting of other peoples pets (OPP)
Photos of other peoples pets on the web being re-used for my person enjoyment is not copyright law infringement. For it to be copyright infringement, there has to be a Copyright on it you slack jawed chuckle head. Also if you were a pet owner, and not just a pet, you would understand that we (pet owners) love when other people enjoy pictures of our pets, and have no problem at all with someone using that image. Now if you can find some, who, I have used their pets picture, and gives a flying rat crap that its on my blog. I will happy remove it with full apologies, and please don't send me another PM with how many pets you own, and how long you have been a pet owner and that you would not want me using your pets pictures, I really don't care. Again, if you find my use of OPP on the blog, DON'T READ IT!!!
5) The why helmets don't suck series
If looking at someone falling from a bike, makes you get sick to your stomach then you will LOVE todays why helmets don't suck. Let me make something very, very, very clear to you BETH, bike helmets are a good thing. They save lives, keep people walking, riding, swimming, BREATHING every day. But please, do me a favor, i don't want you to wear one, EVER. Also, I don't care if you were offended, you dont have the right to not be offended. no where in the documents that founded this country and gave its citizens their rights under its laws is "You have the right to not be offended". Again I say unto you, the thorn in my ass. If you don't like, what I post, the way I post it, or the pictures I use DON'T READ IT!!! please...

Be aware, if you feel it necessary to respond to any of these comments, I will be posting you full Private message as a new Post for review and discussion by our members. (Joe H. and Dave H.) will be more then happy to discusses the finner points of your message with you. Also feel free to contact Blogger regarding my site, I have read their by laws, Rule and Regs and NOTHING on this site is out of their scope, and AUP.

(not grammar checked for your enjoyment)

Why helmets don't suck...

Non-Helmet user: "I don't want to look stupid on my bike'
Me: "You look stupid if you don't wear one"
Non-Helmet user: "I'm trying to pick up some ladies man, the helmets is killing my vibe"
Me: "I betcha that this guys vibe was killed to"
Non-Helmet user: "He was in the wrong place at the wrong time"
Me: "He was on a bike PATH"
Non-Helmet user: "They probably crawled out with nothing but road rash"
Me: "Do you see that red mark on the ground, that's not catsup, they don't paint your tires with that orange spray paint for a fender bender"
Non-Helmet user: "A helmet would never had saved him dude"
Me: "Maybe, but now they will never find out"

How we see art...

Ever wonder how we see, I mean really why we see the way that we do, well the folks at PopPhot have put together a comprehensive outline of just that subject.

The Photographers Guide to the Eye

Some of the major points;

•Keep in mind that "we see first with our animal selves and then with our acculturated minds." In "bottom- up" seeing we may scan around an image before settling in on the main subject.

•After our animal selves are satisfied, the eye is naturally attracted to areas that generate a conditioned response—like an image involving beauty or sex or something unexpected (see above). This is called "top-down" seeing.

•The goal for any photographer is to appeal to both bottom-up and top-down ways of seeing. However, it may be beneficial to think primitively. In other words, skew towards bottom-up seeing because if the image lacks an instinctual stimulus, it may be difficult for the average viewer to fully comprehend. (I disagree, the goal for any photographer it to make money)

•If you want to draw the eye to non-human aspects of an image, leave out (or obscure) faces. Humans tend to search for emotional significance in a face right off the bat.

Better car, not a better toaster...

"/"Insert Soap Box"/"
Ok, they need to stop. just fire the designer and kick them out of the freaking building. There is nothing, NOTHING wrong with my toaster. It may be a bit of a power hog, and if you can fix that with out messing with the soothing, comforting "shewing,,,pop" sound of my toast popping up then all is well. I don't need a new toaster, I need a CAR THAT DOES NOT RUN ON FOSSIL FUEL!!! I'm not sure if I should make toast with this thing or send an email. I would try to type and burn the hell of my self, thats a induction cook top on the flip side. So its a entire breakfast station. How spacey.
"/"Remove Soap Box"/"

Its raining, I'm showering...

$400 bucks for this one, seems a bit, well I don't know HIGH!!! They hold 47 gallons, are supposed to stay mosquito free and can be chained together. The good folks on Ocracoke island have been doing this for years. You just run a line from all of you down spouts and collect it in a tank, you can't drink it but its good for laundry, showers, and the like.

Gizmodo I love you...

The good folks over at Gizmodo, where I get at least 1/2 my stuff. They put togther a fine explanation of all the different types of computer cables.

How cool are you, CPU...

Something you never thought I would say, is "That CPU heat sink is Sexy" even better, "You sure to have a purdy mount" This thing looks like something that should be in side a Tesla roadster not my desktop case. On sale for about $60, and can accommodate an assortment of Core 2 and Athlon processors.


Dell back at it again...

So this one has convoluted leak lines, the Wall Street Journals morning read from audible.com hinted at it. I searched and found two engadget posts about it, in reverse order. 1) showing the product, 2) released latter then the first, hinting about a leak of a unknown product????

So here it is, Dell is getting back into the PMP market? with a zing device?? under $100?????? The device I have in the picture is not dell branded but from all accounts that is what it supposed to look like, could see this hitting the street some time this September. Also all new dell PC will come with Zing out of the box. (goody)

I'm feeling so confused.


Its a bird, its a plane, its a lamp???

Can there really be a market for people that want to send in a detailed hi res image of their eyes and have a lamp made from them?

Muti Touch, Touchpad...

This just makes so much sense it hearts. New Apple notebooks are forthcoming, and with any luck the Macbook touch may be one of them. Sorry honey, we can get married, I have to buy a new computer. From what I can gather, they are putting touch glass where the touch pad used to be, you know that thing on your laptop that you only use when you forget your mouse. But there no mention of putting a display under that screen, but if them do SOLD!

DirecTV adding 30 HD channels on August 14th...

I hate SAT TV, and internet equally. I know that I may be jaded from my time at Earthlink Inc where I had to tech their crappy SAT product. But this one made my sit up and think it over. DiercTV is adding over 30 HD 1080p channels on August 14th, and then movies in the same format latter this year. That gives them over 130 channels of HD total. Comcast, hello, anyone home???

Your car told on me...

PSU prof is working on a Anti-Theft system that will allow all the cars in a parking lot to act like a heard of sheep. If one of the cars is stolen, or does not reposed to the group "are we all here command", or does not say good buy when its owner unlocks it, the other cars will contact a base station notifying the police. All of this is supposed to be set up with RFID and a base station. Cool in theory, but I'm interested to see it in action.

My buddy, my iBuddy...

Here how it works, for $20 bucks on Brandos website, you can get the ibuddy, he can flap, change colors, and I think make a noise. So when ever one of your friends signs on to MSN messenger you will know about it. Cool, gay, but cool. I'm waiting for it to get hacked to work with all IM programs then, almost maybe just to watch the cat flip out.

Speechless,

Gaming center, kegarator, Arcade Cabinet, 10 foot screen with built in projector over 200 licensed, and bundled PC titles, PS3 racing games, PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii games. Oh did I mention 5.1 surround, oh yea it has that to.

By the way, did you notice the second tap, right next to the drivers seat... Oh yea.

All this can be yours for a check, credit card or money order for $6,995. But you can drive drunk all you want with out tickets or jail time. (almost worth it)
