Payday before a holiday weekend. Oh boy. Heres the rundown:
Long Beach Blues Festival tomorrow. Followed by a night out either in LB or NB.
BBQ Sunday afternoon at my house and possibly hit the Orange Circle Street Fair.
Monday relaxing at the beach and get some surfing in.
Scream at me!
I’ve decided to go public with my blogging. From now on this blog will just be personal stuff and self-help articles. All the cool tech/science/gaming/entertainment content is going to be on my tech blog Zooter. Hope to see you there!

They have found chemical weapons produced by Iraq! …in the UN storage vault…. Just too good.
Support Kucinich and end this nonsense. Get us out of Iraq and the UN.
Yes Sebastian, life is better where its wetter. There is a new restaurant in Maldives that is literally underwater. It sits slightly under three fathoms below the surface and is domed with glass so you can watch your gilled friends live. Maybe pluck one or two and have some sushi. Yummy.
The Fed has granted special permission to Citigroup and Bank of America to move a whopping 30% of their capital into their mortgage divisions to prevent them from collapsing. Legally, a bank is only allowed to move 10% into one area to keep balance. My take is the fed is panicking here because if these two big dogs file chap11 in their mortgage divisions the entirety of the lending industry is going to follow suit. Get out of the capital markets before its too late people. The interest rates are still low today but they HAVE to rise in the coming quaters so the government can pay off its debt. When that happens foreclosure rates are going to sky rocket and the economy is going to get rocked hard.

I’m not really into owning movies any more. I bought a couple hundred or so DVDs but you know they just sit there on my shelves. However I am quite tempted to buy the HD-DVD player add on to the XBox 360 now that it comes with 7(!!!) free movies. And not crappy ones like the original offer. Goodfellas, Batman Begins, Superman 2 (yes the best one), Shaun of the Dead, Happy Gilmore to name a few. I’d say a good 75% of the movies in the offer are worth owning. It looks as though Netflix rents hd-dvd movies but not sure how well that service is just yet…..
Alas, I think I will wait until the format war is over (and streamed media wins. Physical discs are so 2000s bleh)
Beauco.wordpress.com - track the progress of my fledgling side project. Today is its birth. I plan to update it weekly or so
Check out this new monitor from Samsung that connects to any computer via USB! Awesome for people who have laptops or visitors. No driver or wire hassle and its cheap. Me likey but me have no need for monitor right now.
Imagine if you could remember all the ideas that go through your head in a given day. All the people to call, places to go, things to buy. They are great ideas at time, but only a few actually stick around long enough to get done.
No more! Computers will remember for you and its soooooooooo easy to use. Sign up for the free services GoPingMe and Jott. GoPingMe will send you a text and/or email at whatever time you want with whatever info you want. So you could put in “Call wife at 5pm on the 29th, wish happy anniversary.” And on the 29th at 5pm, youll get a convenient text reminder to call your loving wife. How awesome is that.
Jott works by calling a toll free number. Then you speak in plain english who to send a message to. Say “wife”. Then you leave a message. “Happy Anniversary honey, 143″. Jott will transcribe your words into text and send them to your wife’s cell phone and/or email.
Now combine the power of the too. Call Jott, send a message to your GoPingMe account and voila. You’ve got a reminder coming to you to do whatever brilliant idea you have just come up with at exactly the right time. Best of all you don’t need to talk to ANYONE or type a single keystroke. Good bye secretary!
Its just fun to hit people in the face with a ball. The official rules for this are lame, but I think we could come up with some fun interpretations for Faceball
