Food in China
2008-08-25 20:16:00
Some food from China. This was on Ebuams World, and the general idea was that it was gross. I may be the only one, but I find different foods interesting and always want to try new kinds. Not a single dish here sounds bad to me, I would like to try each one. Is it not a little strange how people can eat things like hotdogs - Americans eat nearly every part of the cow, pig, and chicken at some point - but hate the idea of eating dog, cat, or horse? An animal is an animal. I would never want to eat MY pet, but see no problem eating different things. Ive had rabbit, duck, quail, eel, snail, scorpion, cricket, and even drank a worm in a bottle. Somehow dog, cat, mouse, rat, horse... these things dont seem to strange anymo...
 
Harrisonburg, VA - School Lunch
2008-08-20 10:04:00
A school in Harrisonburg, VA posted their school lunch choices online. They didnt expect media research to be going in a similar area of the World Wide Web. So I grabbed the pics. Some of them looked actually decent, so they were discarded because I cant make any jokes about them. Due to the huge number of images, I had to post them at medium size, rather than large, turning my previous post into a lie. Also, I have not yet come up with all the sarcastic - reality bites style Jeanine Garafalo, style jokes so those will come later in the day. Enjoy for now, post your own observations in the comments. I wont use them, because they wont be as funny as mine, but hey do it anyway, you know?BM.Its Italian to eat bread? Or is tha...
 
Some funny pics I found (ZOMG KIK ROFLCOPTER, etc.)

I want to get this guy for my wedding.WOOO!! ZELDARRRRR~!My comp. When? circa right now. Location? Your moms house. Cost? About a tree fitty.As you can tell, I am generally posting more often now than before. Just lots of stuff out there. Do try to keep up, probably twice or even 3x a week. All images and videos will be posted to this Quake 3 blog at large or full size. Does this cause any problems for anyone? My resolution is such that I cant look at small pics anymore. Basically your desktops would look like a thumbnail on my computer....
 
Mars
2008-08-14 17:45:00
Phoenix Provides a Panorama of Mars:"Combining more than 400 images taken during the first weeks after the Phoenix arrived on the Red planet's arctic plain gave scientists this view of Mars.The full-circle panorama in approximately true color shows the polygonal patterning of ground at the landing area, similar to patterns in permafrost areas on Earth. The center of the image is the westward part of the scene. Trenches where Phoenix's robotic arm has been exposing subsurface material are visible in the right half of the image. The spacecraft's meteorology mast, topped by the telltale wind gauge, extends into the sky portion of the panorama.This view comprises more than 100 different camera pointings, with images taken through three different filters at each ...
 
Getter dun
2008-08-11 17:15:00
This is what happens when guys whos previous job was something like "greeter at hooters" or "fry man at McyDeez", joins EOD. Special forces like EOD are supposed to be the best of the best: they pride themselves on it, but this video shows something very different.It is hardly popular to say, but isnt it possible, or even likely, that thousands of US troops are actually immature teenagers from some poor town out in the country or some urban housing project? And in a post-war occupation, is there anything we need less than a bunch of crude teenagers who spend most of their time shooting things, blowing things up, torturing kids with candy and water bottles, throwing dogs off cliffs, etc? Even if these are isolated events (unlikely, eg: Abu Graib), they have a disproportional effect on t...

Benq T24IW 24 inch LCD

Out with the old monitor...In with the new...The classic 21 inch P95Foxtrot Pro finally got damaged, by lightning. So I had to replace it with this 24 incher. I did not really want to spend $375 on a new monitor, but when I had to I decided to get a nice one. Takes some getting used to... it is huge. Running at 1900 x 1200. Retardo Montelbon.Here are some images that show what can be done with the higher resolution. First you can see two cnn windows side by side - almost full size. (With fairly large fonts etc). Next google earth taking up my whole monitor desktop with central park. Can you see all of central park at 1250 feet? And notice off to the side is a smaller purple desktop (the background image), that is my tv virtual desktop. Yeah low rez right? One can drag things ov...
 
Why we should not be mixed up with ignorant countries like Iraq
2008-07-25 14:10:00
Gay in Iraq Story by CNNSo it starts out like this: If you live in Iraq, and have a shaved chest, you are gay. Granted in America this is a kinda gay thing to do also (Jerry Seinfeld is an exception), but honestly is that such a perfect test of gaynositiy?But it gets really crazy after that:If you are gay in Iraq (and much of the Muslim world), the punishment is being raped. By the men who are punishing you for being gay. Thats right: "You are gay, so to punish you, I will have gay sex with you. Peace be upon the prophet, god is great(sic)."Wont lie; kinda upset that billions of dollars, and thousands of lives, are being wasted on Iraq. Wont lie; kinda tired of extremist religion ruining the world....

Well for the past few years, HamnChz became just a picture posting location, then just a forum for noobs, sluts, the like...But it seems like they are making a great new but simple page along the lines of File-Swap. The page just has funny images that you click. The great business model for this kind of page is, with simple design and function, you can get huge Google add money. And you need to go after huge google money these days because google has more than halved the money they give to page owners. Thats right, I will be up front about this fact. I make far less money for the same number of hits - and if you check the news you will see that google has been having some earning problems. Not really a shock that they would clamp down on the small end users of adsense.Anyway here is ...

Two of the best blogs around
2008-06-06 18:35:00
MakeZineNeatoramaI visit these two blogs every day. They constantly post some very interesting things. MakeZine is all about people who invent great things, and hack other things as well. Lots of electronics, mechanics, and art. Neatorama is a bit more general, and covers cool things (neat things) from all over the internet. I posted the images above from one MakeZine post, mostly because I always post some image or video and because it looks cool. Check these out, if you have the time. One needs to dedicate a good 15 min per day to read these and stay up to date....

Serious Explosion
2008-05-06 20:23:00
If the video isnt working well (Live Leak is some low budget shit...) try the next video, or come back later. This experiment appears to be the burning of some gas or liquid inside a clear glass container so that the flame can be seen. The lights were turned off to better highlight the combustion. I have seen this done many times in metal cans or wood boxes... burning lighter fluid or propane or something like that... but in a glass container right next to you? Very very dangerous. And in this case, the man was lucky to survive without any serious injury. This could have been fatal, and even more likely it could have blinded him or blown his hand off. Notice several things: The stick used to light the contents was propelled aside at many fps. The glass shattered and went flying all over, probably large pieces. (There is one case of an exploding glass container that killed a person, a shard went into his heart.) Note the power of the explosion was enough to shift the blinds...

Stuck for 40 hours in a lift.
2008-04-17 18:49:00
"CCTV:Nicholas White was a thirty-four-year-old production manager at Business Week. He was working late on a special assignment and wanted a cigarette. He told a colleague that he’d be right back and, leaving his jacket behind, headed downstairs. Thus commenced the longest smoke break of Nicholas White’s life, a harrowing experience that began at around eleven o’clock on a Friday night in October, 1999.The Business Week offices were located on the forty-third floor of the McGraw-Hill Building in mid-town Manhattan. When White finished his cigarette, he returned to the lobby, got into Car No. 30 and pressed the button marked 43. The car accelerated. It was an express elevator, with no stops below the thirty-ninth floor, and the building was deserted. But after a moment, White felt a ...

Not a huge fan of Apple.
2008-03-11 20:09:00
There are many reasons why I feel I have to say this, I have decided to say it now because in one week I came across three people (who are not connected in any significant way) who all made bold statements along the lines of: "Apples are just better, more stable, faster, better."People complain that Microsoft violates anti-trust laws because they include IE with windows, and make it hard to remove. Yet Apple has sold hardware that includes their OS, and many many smaller programs including a browser - but no one ever complains about that. Apple totally locks the competition out of their (small but growing) market.The Ipod and Itunes make it hard for you to load songs from a different computer, share music, or do many other things that you want with your ...

I think this is the finest science blog out there. Everyone can enjoy the great photos and maps, and those into geology can learn quite a bit about fairly advanced sediment science - both the movements of sediment and the formation of sedimentary rocks. Give it a visit some time.http://clasticdetritus.com/...
 
Iram
2008-02-21 07:20:00
A nice new hardware Ram drive card. Yes it runs on the SATA, so it isn't perfect (not running on the FSB or PCIX), but it is still very fast for many applications, and has a built in battery that lets you lose system power (meaning pulling the plug) for a few hours. It pulls power from the Mobo even when the computer is turned off, so that isn't an issue. Probably best of all, is the cost. For $500 you could get one with 4 gigs of ram. I wouldn't be shocked if the future of storage turns out to be ram drives anyway...Ram Drive...

I found this image while doing media research. Who is this gentleman? (I say gentleman, but perhaps he is a Persian prince, or more likely still an intellectual with a rapist wit...) Why does he have such a look of forlorn, melancholy longing? Does he have super-human smell? I was able to get back to the profile page, but now it wont load. Coincidence?...

I see this add often while not downloading warez. I found three aspects that suggest you will almost certainly get a virus if you click on it: 1.) Boobs - specifically huge fake boobs with significant side boob in profile. Further, said boobs are contained in a white shirt just begging to get sprayed with crissay or a hose.2.) The biggest statement is "Safety is guaranteed!" You don't have to say that unless you are waiting to send out a virus.3.) Free.Can you find any?

Great wind robots
2008-02-01 19:11:00
"For the past fifteen years, Theo Jansen has been creating (growing?) "beach animals" made from commonly available tools like plastic tubing, cardboard boxes, plastic bottles, hose, tape, and all sorts of other stuff. Wired News did a pretty good article on Jansen earlier this year:- http://blog.wired.com/sterling/2005/1...Jansen is evolving an entirely new line of animals: immense multi-legged walking critters designed to roam the Dutch coastline, feeding on gusts of wind. Over the years, successive generations of his creatures have evolved into increasingly complex animals that walk by flapping wings in response to the wind, discerning obstacles in their path through feelers and even hammering themselves into the sand on sensing an approaching storm.It's h...
