Busy Friday.


Today I got to work at 5:30 a.m. Worked 1/2 day and left at 10:00. Picked up Mary. Bought a washer and dryer. Went to the bank. Bought a house. Started a new checking account with that bank. Strangly it takes less time to buy a house there then it does to set up a stupid checking account. Went to Menard's and bought paint. Ran over to the new house and taped off Tim's room a bit. Then we ran over to the school and watched Tim's last football game of the year. Went to the new house and painted Tim's room. Now it is 11:00 p.m. and I am one tired dog. Tomorrow we move stuff. The paint in Tim's room was a really glossy brown. It is a biotch to paint. I am going to have to put on a second coat tomorrow. *ack*

Here is a video that I hope everyone in the county sees.

stuff


Well we close on the house tomorrow. I can't take any time off of work so it is going to be kind of crazy getting moved but we will get there. Ranger Rick is coming over Sunday and I think Tom is going to be over also. I would really like to have three guys to move the bowling ally bench top that is in my workshop. Dwight and I moved it out there. He was okay with it, but it just about killed me.
There is a couple that is interested in our house and requested a second showing. *woot*. They want to make the shop a bedroom. Here is what I think about that: #1. That is a total waste of a shop. #2. I don't give a crap as long as they buy the house.

Here is a silly toy that I think is really funny. A a retro bluetooth headset for your phone.
Here is a very simple but very hard (for me at least) game. I got to 25.something seconds and had to quit.

happy birthday, iPod.

Yup. The iPod turned five today. Hard to believe that only five years ago they introduced the little gem. Now five years and 70,000,000 units later they are a part of our culture.
I got a chuckle from a friend of mine. He is a PC user and we were talking about computers. He was asking me how to get rid of spyware or whatever that stuff is. I told him I don't know because we have three mac's and have never had a virus or anything like that. He said he did not like Apple computers, but he loves iTunes. Ok. So the only Apple software you can run on your virus infested PC is iTunes and you love it... but you don't like Apple? I kind of chuckled.

Break.com had this video of a drag racer's tires @1000fps. Pretty amazing. Also Darwin missed this guy by a few feet. Finally an instructional video on how NOT to tear down a building.

Steve needs one of these:

our leader

Here is a funny clip that somebody made. It is a bogus "state of the .. state of the .. state of the ... my speech to the nation.. whatever you want to call it" that they hacked together making our leader look really stupid and evil. The second one is just as funny but took less work. It is GW making himself look stupid. "families is where our nation finds hope. Where wings take dreams" or "for a century and a half now America and Japan have formed one of the great and enduring alliances of modern times." I guess he never rented Pearl Harbor when it was out on DVD.

Weekend... again.

If you have not seen some of the electric R/C stuff out there then check out a clip. It is amazing how they have progressed since I last looked. He actually has the power to hover that big plane. Nice stuff.
Or you could watch them launch a Cutlass out the 18th story of a parking ramp into the Chicago River.
This clip... well this is the most I have ever laughed at a clip on the web. It is definately NSFW, nor is it in good taste. I think what made me laugh the most was the camera man laughing so damn hard.
Steve's blog had this link to a 1/4(ish) scale blown hemi.
