Sightseeing in Liberty City

2008-05-13T12:11:00.000-07:00

I love seeing comparisons between real life and the digitized. Somebody has put together a rad flickr set doing just that. Comparing actual NYC to that found in Grand Theft Auto IV.

Caution!

2008-03-22T12:49:00.000-07:00

Kyle is off in oz having fun with kangaroos. Here is his 1994 style blog. Not that mine is much better or anything.

Kyle, the kangaroos are cool and indeed have pouches as you've discovered. Just remember who they aren't made for - people.

F1

2008-03-18T17:12:00.001-07:00

I'm excited that the F1 season is back already. The drivers are all ready for the next race. and Nick Heidfeld looks like a rock star.

Robo-Awesome

2008-03-17T17:35:00.000-07:00

A weird robot called 'big-dog' looks, walks weird but can carry 150% its weight and even catch itself when slipping on ice or other unstable surfaces.

This is not the technology we want a hostile robot army to have.

Last Kyle post for a while I promise

2008-03-12T10:52:00.000-07:00

Last night I needed something to occupy my time so I ~~created~~ photoshopped a tour poster for Kyle's upcoming trip to Australia.

PnP

2008-03-11T15:43:00.000-07:00

I mentioned Kyle's upcoming excursion to Oz, but neglected to mention that Pat and Patty are already down under having their own adventure. Here is a to link their blog featuring pictures of their exploits and some humorous vintage pictures of the family. Kyle looks a bit like his pappa.

Stuff I Like

2008-03-11T15:09:00.000-07:00

This blog is pretty funny, and right on a lot of the time. It's called 'Stuff White People Like'. It makes a lot of observations about certain groups especially hipsters and twenty/thirty somethings.

Google Sky

2008-03-10T14:01:00.000-07:00

Kyle has brought my attention to Google Sky, which he described as 85% less evil than Microsoft Worldwide Telescope. I will go out on a limb here and agree.

On another note, Kyle leaves for Oz on March 17 to monitor and look for pulsars. He need only go to his local used car dealership for classic Nissan Styling.

Tomatometer

2008-03-07T14:48:00.000-08:00

According to the Tomatometer, I'm prolly going to skip 10,000 BC. I do want to check out Bank Job however.

Brother of Roomba

2008-03-06T16:35:00.000-08:00

Lawnba? well it costs about $4000, but on the plus side you don't have to mow the lawn yourself.

Map of Starbucks versus Wal Marts per capita for the 48 states.

the Leila Texts

2008-03-04T23:28:00.001-08:00

When somebody types in the name LEILA and sends a text message instead of finding it in their address book, this girl gets it and publishes the best ones on her blog with commentary. Delicious.

Faildogs is (are?) the new lolcats.

Stephen Barr, a molecular virologist in the Department of Medical Microbiology and Immunology, says his team has identified a gene called TRIM22 that can block HIV infection in a cell culture by preventing the assembly of the virus.

movie?

2008-02-28T13:24:00.001-08:00

Cruising imdb today, I noticed that that listed as 'rumored' is an Arrested Development movie. I don't feel too good about this. Comebacks are hard, who watches new episodes Family Guy? Or network TV on a regular basis at all?

Area Man Will Only Watch Things in HD

2008-02-19T16:03:00.001-08:00

Ok, I admit this is partially me.

Santa Cruz Success

2008-02-14T11:07:00.000-08:00

Kyle, Brooks, Evan and I braved the sunny temperate beaches of Santa Cruz this weekend with much fanfare. We ate and drank like kings, saw our sites and generally had a good times. I have posted my photo-documentary of the day on flickr. Enjoy

F1 Fasting

2008-02-05T10:42:00.000-08:00

Just about 40 days until the F1 season kicks off in Melbourne. Watching the official 2007 season wrap up (with more shots of fernando/hamilton than kimi who would ultimately win the championship) has whet my appetite for more of that sweet sweet racing.

American Top Gear speculation

2008-02-05T09:47:00.000-08:00

I will post my thoughts in the comments section.

Chinese to manipulate the weather

2008-01-31T10:17:00.000-08:00

In order to make the Bejing Olympic ceremonies go smoothly they will modify the weather. I was sure they were manipulating the jet streams like the US government does.

The Stig Revealed?

2008-01-30T14:57:00.000-08:00

Steve Martin on Humor

2008-01-30T00:22:00.000-08:00

I think it's safe to say Steve Martin invented my kind of humor.

"These notions stayed with me until they formed an idea that revolutionized my comic direction: What if there were no punch lines? What if there were no indicators? What if I created tension and never released it? What if I headed for a climax, but all I delivered was an anticlimax? What would the audience do with all that tension?"

Puppy v Robot

2008-01-28T13:39:00.001-08:00

An epic battle rages on.

Bill Clinton: 'Screw It, I'm Running For President'

2008-01-25T17:46:00.000-08:00

"Clinton told reporters Tuesday that seeing so many "Clinton '08" posters "really got [him] thinking," and said that the fact that he was already wearing a suit, and smiling and waving on the campaign trail was an added motivator."
