  • The return

    So, I’ve been watching Entourage a lot lately, which happens to be one of my favorite shows. Its funny because its not the usual type of sitcom that I’d typically be interested in. However there is something about the idea of living in LA and dealing with all the “tough issues” that they deal with…

  • The resurrection

    Hello out there. I know it has been a while since I’ve posted anything, but that seems to be how blogs work these days. You post furiously and with no disregard and then one day you realize its been months since you last talked to anyone. I’ve received what I would call the first response…

  • The “Porn Stache”

    Well everyone. I’ve always wondered one thing. “What would I look like with a porno mustache? ” I answered that tonight. I decided to shave off all the beard…Had the full Whitey-Ford thing going. I stopped to make a handlebar mustache and a “soul-patch” and here is how it turned out: Yeah, that’s right. First…

  • The (paid) assignment

    “They just pay me to hand out these fliers.” According to a comment left on my first post about this Dr. Brent Cataldo protest, a protesting member admitted to getting paid to hand out fliers. Really? That is the second person I’ve had tell me that they’ve talked to the protesters and they have admitted…

  • The protest continues, escalates

    If you haven’t read “The labor dispute” please do so, here, as it gives context to this post. The protest is the same but the action has changed. I’ve noticed that these protesters are going between holding up their big sign (no more than three at a time) to actually standing in the entrance and…

  • The breakup

    So everyone out there, I want you all to know it is official. I’ve broken up with my Capital One Card. We had a long run and this has been coming for some time. You see, I haven’t even touched the old card for months. Its been laying there, alone, broken hearted in my wallet…

  • The labor dispute

    Perhaps one of the highlights of my day is ditching my office and hitting the road in search of a good cup of coffee—or in my case coffee with lots of milk, chocolate, and sugar. I’m of course talking about my medium mochas from Caribou Coffee. Though, it should be noted I’ve decided to become…

  • The email scams

    As an aside to this post, I have discovered and come to the judgment that e-mail should no longer be hyphenated. In its infancy electronic mail or e-mail was hyphenated because of the fact that it really wasn’t a word but a shortening of two words. Now, in modern times we seem to drop the…

  • The Fidel Martyson

    So one thing I’ve found to be very handy in Photoshop is the free transform tool which can be enabled on a layer by pressing ctrl-t. What this allows is the target layer to be rotated and scaled. This is particularly useful when you are copying something from a different image into another image to…

  • The Geeky Saturday

    Figured out a cool project to work on today. I took an old Xbox breakaway connector and a USB header from something I had in my bin and started working on this: Stripped Connectors Toss ’em in the garbage, they won’t be needed. You should be able to find a USB header from just about…
