Keep Track of Sports Scores While Globetrotting

by | Jan 20, 2007 | | 0

Using the SportsFox Firefox extension (installation time 6 seconds) you can select your favorite NBA, NFL, NHL, NCAA, etc. team and get updated with the score. All in your browser window from your hotel room in Tahiti, your dorm room in Lugano, or after an ice bar happy hour in London.

Time zones are a bitch so you can go back in time to get scores if you aren’t using your computer to get them live.

Oh, and if you’re not using Firefox yet, here’s why you should.

Army Stories Part 2: Preparation

by | Jan 19, 2007 | | 0

In case you don’t know what this post is about, here is the background and Part 1.

You may have never thought about it so I’ll pose the question to you – what would you bring with you to the army? This is a question that is more difficult to answer than it would seem. Even though there is this list (in Turkish) I had no idea how much or little to bring. The list covers things such as razors and toothpaste *duh* but doesn’t cover one rather important item.

TOILET PAPER.

I wish someone had told me that as I ran into the bathroom after the first day desperately trying to keep my feces inside of myself.

I’ll leave the rest of this to the comments…and try to save what little dignity I have 😛

Famous-people-stuff will help make your Friday (and any workday for that matter) go by much, much smoother.

Fuse.tv?

Here is a sample headline and story:

Jessica Simpson is Disabled by her Breasts

Pop singer/movie star, Jessica Simpson, has revealed that she was prevented from following her dream of becoming a gospel singer by her enormous breasts. Simpson was asked not to sing solos in church because the men in the congregation found her giant boobs to be a distraction. Simpson told the press, “I always felt they disabled me from what I wanted to do.” In the stunned silence that followed, she continued, saying, “Now, I own them. They’re like wearing a great necklace. You can’t pay for that sort of accessory – though I know people do. But they never look as good at the real ones.” No Word yet as to why God hates big boobs.

Thanks you Becks!

Give To Charity By Doing Nothing

by | Jan 18, 2007 | , | 0

Well not quite nothing, but by using the GoodSearch.com search engine (powered by Yahoo!) they donate a little bit for every search query. Think that’s good? Oh, yeah well it’s free too.

Boo-yaa! It even lets you select the charity you want the bling to go to (if they are registered – and yes, UNICEF is registered 😉 .

Give it a go ol’ chap!

Advanstar International Motorcycle Show 2006-07 Pictures

by | Jan 18, 2007 | , | 2

Took place on January 12-14 and guess who was there. It was a pretty large offering of bikes, from your standard crotch rockets, pimped choppers, Harley’s, and some lesser known models (Urals for instance).

A good sized show for riders and enthusiasts, though it would have been cool to see come crazier “fancy” bikes. A very nice selection overall. I took a bunch of pictures for anyone interested in motorcycles. The first few on page 1 are of a $200,000+ camper that was more luxurious than any house I have ever live in – check it out.
