Blog Feature

Jae I noticed there is a check spelling tool when creating a post. However, when commenting on a post the feature is not available. Is there an option you can chose to make it available that way idiots like me have less spelling mistakes. Thanks.

Dear Diary...Jackpot

For all you FSU fans out there. Peter Boulware is running for office as a REPUBLICAN. He is running for the State House of Representatives in the Tallahassee area, specifically in a seat that encompasses Leon and Jefferson Counties. I predict big things for this guy, not really but he is going at it for the next 15 months. The below is a link to a sports blog that covered it slightly. All I know is, if this brother gets elected in the State House, you might be calling him Congressman Boulware because the GOP has always wanted to get back Alan Boyd's seat. I would say we could use him on the GOP's Congressional Baseball Team, but since we have not lost in the last 7 years, I think we are fine.

This is CRAP!!

I put out the American Flag today for 9-11. When I came home from work, there was a lady from the front office that told me I had to take it down. It was against policy to have a flag up. What kind of CRAP is this?!?!

Another one bites the dust

Yes gentlemen the time has come for another one of your dearest friends to get engaged. It happened a week or so ago but I just started classes again and moved into a new apartment so things have been totally crazy. I'm really sorry to have kept you all out of the loop but I didn't call my brother and sisters until my mom yelled at me too. =) No plans yet for a wedding date but it should be before I graduate from school in 2010. Anyway, hope everyone is as excited as I am. Take care. Oh, here is a pic of the ring. It is kind of crappy lighting but you get the idea.

Behold! My new HDTV

It's a Panasonic 50" 1080p plasma. That's right, I said 1080p plasma. We bought it on Monday (Hooray for Labor Day sales!) and we just got to setting it up tonight because I needed some assistance moving our old 300lb tube tv upstairs. If anyone out there is still in the market, this one has my full recommendation; the picture is unbelievable.

fsu looked like poop monday, the o-line looked like a bunch of nancy boys. i won't say anything about the defense because i believe clemson's rbacks could make any defense look bad but wtf is up w/ the offense?

granted i only had 3 quarters saved on my dvr and i started feeling the momentum shift to fsu at the end of the 3rd, but i doubt it would have changed my overall opinion.

Yes, yes I I did

Soooo... yeah, I got a tatoo... did it two weeks ago yesterday. I stalled on the posting of the pics because I was afraid of the backlash I'd get from y'all, but I finally caved because I'm just too damn proud of it. Don't necessarily know what I was thinking, but I definitely do not have any regrets whatsoever (if that makes sense). I'll tell you right now though, you guys have to at least give me credit on taking the pain like a champ (which I did), because it effin hurt like a son of a bitch. Well anyway, on with the show...

Oh and by the way...... GO SOX!!! :o)

Nadia's New APT

Hey guys! Just wanted to let you know that I have a new address. Yep, teacher raises finally kicked in and so I was FINALLY able to move into my own apartment! Just thought I'd share some pics with you. I still need more furniture but as you can see I have gained a couch, tv, and coffee table since the first picture. Anytime anyone is in town (which doesn't really happen much) the couch has a queen sleeper, so you're all more than welcome. I am still working on sharing my pics from my trip to Greece, Turkey, and Egypt with you guys...

Instant messengers

I haven't used an instant messenger program in years but I remember how convenient they used to be. So, I was curious if any if y'all still use them.

Vacation Details

Nick / Adam,
We arrive in New York (JFK) at 8:45AM on Saturday, Oct 13th.
We depart in Boston (BOS) at 3:30PM on Sunday, Oct 21st.

Nick, if there's no conflict, we're with you guys until mid-day monday, possibly tuesday morning. Adam, due to the proximity of my family, there's a bit more room for adjustment on visiting you. It really just depends on if you'd rather us stay during the week or the weekend. We could stay with you until Thursday and with my family for the weekend, or the other way around. It really doesn't make any difference to us. Let me know what you guys think.

good ol' winn dixie

my morning

Happy Birthday Dr. K!

Happy birthday buddy! I'll talk to you soon to see if we can hammer out this trip to NYC/Boston.

Feed the need

Since there's so much hdtv talk going on, I figured I'd let everyone know about http://www.antennaweb.org. This website will let you put in your address and find out exactly what kind of over-the-air digital television you can expect to receive. It takes into account terrain not just distance from transmitters.

Based on my address, it told me I should be able to get 10 channels just by putting up a small omni-directional antenna (yellow - uhf). So I borrowed a uhf antenna (read: indefinitely :)) from a co-worker and after figuring out how to get my tv to use the antenna tuner rather than the cable tuner, I was able to auto-detect 11 hdtv channels (all the network stations including 3 cbs channels and a couple spanish channel which might come in handy for soccer games). I didn't even have to take the antenna outside I was able to pick it up right in my living room.

I'm now chillin' out to high-def Jay Leno for free, check it out...

Happy Birthday Jae!

Finally 25...you now have nothing else to look forward to.

Trip to the Northeast

Nick / Adam,

Would you be able to put us up for for about 3 days each around mid-late October? Christina and I would like to take a vacation to visit you guys, my family, and soak up some nice NE fall weather. Let me know if you have any date conflicts or if it will be a huge issue altogether, and if not, I'll get back to you once we have specific dates and plans.

More TV questions

I am planning on buying a new TV this week and I am having trouble deciding. I have narrowed it down to an LCD (about 46") or a DLP with LED technology (about 50"). Both are 1080p capable. I am probably leaning toward the LCD because I think that it is newer technology and won't be out dated as quickly and it can be mounted on a wall if I choose to do so in the future. I also would not have to worry about the screen becoming dimmer as I move to the sides of the TV, but it can pixelate a bit with fast movement. However, the DLP is cheaper and the LED eliminates the annoying color wheel humming noise. Both TVs seem to have very nice pictures. Money is not a big issue since I have a generous mother that wants to help me buy it as a birthday gift. I just want a good HD capable TV that will work well with the Xbox.

I know that several of y'all like plasmas but I would prefer to avoid them because of stories I heard about problems they can have.

Also if any one knows more about the new DLPs with LED engines and if it has had any issues, please let me know.

Any advise would be appreciated!

Lucky Me

My xbox 360 wireless adapter that I ordered off ebay arrived in the mail yesterday and to my surprise there were actually two adapters inside. I don't know exactly what happened but I'm not about to write the seller and ask. Both have been tested on a friends 360 (since mine is off for repairs) and both work great. I'm gonna sell one of them back on ebay with no reserve and no shipping to recoup some of the expense of the first one. Could this be Bill Gates way of saying sorry for selling you a broken console? He does control the universe you know.

So I have been off the blog for somewhile now

But Nick still sucks and is pasty white.

Halo 3 four player online co-op

http://www.joystiq.com/2007/07/31/the-full-details-on-halo-3s-online-co-op/, alright boys, saddle up (sept 25th). who's coming with me?

Xbox 360 failure

My 360 has gone to the crapper. It is experiencing the "Three red lights of death" as described in the link in the title...

For those of you who don't know, Xbox 360s have some fundamental design flaw that causes a large number of them (rumored to be every single one of them) to fail. Microsoft has really stepped up to the plate, however, by extending the warranty by 3 years on all 360s.

I guess I am lucky in that mine failed when it did, hopefully I can get it repaired and back before Halo 3 & GTA 4 come out.

So I called up customer support and you know right off the bat that this is a huge problem because they have already worked the 'three-flashing-red-lights' problem into their automated messages. After waiting on hold for 30 minutes, I got through to an agent who helped me arrange for my prepaid shipping box to send my 360 out for repair or replacement. ETA on the shipping box is 3-5 days. I read online that some people got their box overnighted, we'll see I guess... ETA on the repair is 3-4 weeks (Yikes). I guess this gives me an opportunity to catch up on some house projects.

For my troubles, Microsoft is giving me a free 30 days of xbox live (a whopping $5 value). I guess they are hemorrhaging too much money on the shipping for all these defective consoles. Not to mention they lose money up front on every console they sell.

Believe it or not, this has not turned me off from the 360 nor Microsoft. I think they're really making of effort to correct their mistake. And I'm still over-all very impressed w/ the 360. After working in hi-speed circuit design now it's a no wonder they didn't get everything exactly right on the first try, that shit is tough :).

Show me the money!!

So as many of you know, I have spent the last year kicking-ass at my job at Capital Markets, and it finally paid off. Anyway, I had my 1 year review last week and it went exactly like I wanted it. I got top marks across the board and a ridiculous 20% bump in my salary! Just figured I'd share because I'm super excited. Oh, and I also started trading, so I'm officially a securities trader now!

PS. I'm hoping to get some pics of the office soon, just to show you all where I work.

Brew Sack Legal Defense Fund

Check out the link. I used to send her more than 500 e-mails during my last job. And just to clarify, nothing I sent was at all related to what she testified about. But none-the-less in the near future I might be asking for donations to my Legal Defense Fund, Rory graduate law school very very quickly.

So I Installed Vista Yesterday...

I installed Vista yesterday, and I was wondering if anyone else had it installed and what they thought about it. I really like it, I think it's a nice upgrade from XP. It's not as much of a memory hog as I've heard, it looks great, and everything runs very smoothly. The new sidebar, photo gallery, dvd maker and upgraded media center are great and immediately usable to me. I haven't had any problem installing any of my old programs with the exception of Nero 7, which doesn't support Vista (but I can write dvd's from Vista now anyway). My only beef as of now is that it doesn't seem to let you run unsigned (or unapproved I guess) programs at startup. I have a feeling there's a setting somewhere to change that, but I haven't found it. So for now I have to tell it to start the one program that doesn't at startup. Anyway, let me know what you guys think.

Hippies - I hate them so much

Happy 4th of July

Hope everyone had a nice 4th of July. We grilled some burgers and brats with the family and watched the fireworks at Heritage Harbour, a good time was had by all. Earlier today Christina and I went to see Transformers, and I must say the special effects far surpass anything else that has ever been done, and it was a good movie to boot. I highly suggest that all of you see it in the theaters asap. I've included a video of the last few minutes of our fireworks, it was a pretty good show.

Advice on living arrangements

I thought I would ask for y'alls opinion about living situations. I have two options I am considering heavily. One is a 3 bedroom/1 bathroom apartment with a kitchen and living room, and it was just remodeled. Downside is there are no washer/dryer hookups, but they have laundry rooms at the complex. The other option is a house that is 3 bedrooms/2.5 bathrooms with a fenced in backyard. The apartment is $550 per month and the house is $700 per month. I can keep my dog at both of them. The house is in a nice area of town and the apartment is in a nice area, but it is getting closer to a bad area of town. The house is about 10 miles from work and the apartment is only about one mile away from work. I am leaning toward the apartment right now because of the financial aspect.

Which one do y'all think would be better?

Btown what

Anyone else in btown this weekend? Cause I am.

1080p help!!

Ok, I am supposed to be study for my immunology final which basically means that I have been researching HDTV's. I know I had posted stuff about this earlier but I have hit a wall and no one I know in Boston cares about crap like this.

My main question is if it is REALLY worth it for a 1080p LCD.

After listening to Chris, I looked at some DLP but they were freaking huge and the most my apartment will fit is a 42 inch set. Costco has the new Vizio 1080p but it has a shitty contrast ratio of 900:1 standard and 1800:1 dynamic, which worries me. It is under $1,000 which is where I need to be and there aren't really any other 1080p sets that cheap. I could, however, get the Vizio 42 inch plasma for only like $800 if it is still on sale. I like the 10,000:1 contrast ratio of the plasma and they seem to get higher ratings for trueness of color and sharper images.

Ok, so if anyone has anything informative, I would appreciate it.

Vet shortage

Alex, just saw on the local news that Arizona has a vet shortage. Based on the laws of supply and demand, that means more $ for you if you come out :).

No More Stealing...

I finally ordered internet today from Comcast because they are running a great special of $19.99/month for 6 months. So XBOX LIVE here I come!! Post up your tags if you got one! I should be on sometime next week.

First choice said yes!

First I would like to say congratulations once again to Eric and Christina (Hooray, I get a sister! Hugs all around!). Secondly, I am proud to announce that I got my official acceptance letter to USF, providing I take undergrad biomechanics in the fall. I registered this morning, so it feels real enough for me to go ahead and let everyone know I'll be starting August 27th. From there it'll be about 5 semesters or so of seriously busting my ass and I will have my M.A. in Physical Education/Exercise Science. I'm also heavily considering a relocation closer to Tampa, but nothing's definite yet. I'll be sure to post with future news of my becoming a grown-up :o)

Big Announcement!

Christina and I got engaged on Saturday! I proposed on the secluded north end of Whitney Beach on Longboat Key (that's one of the uprooted trees behind us in the pictures). Yesterday we had both families over for a Father's Day dinner / mini-announcement party. Expect a date around Fall 2008!

New TV

The rents surprised us yesterday w/ a trip to Costco (under the guise of a seafood purchase) to pick up this 46" Sony Bravia 1080p LCD behemoth.

Hooked it up in all of about 4 seconds and took a look at my first HD content on the 360.

mmmmmmm, pixels...

Dale turned to the Dark Side

Dale Earnhardt has just officially joined Hendrick motor sports. Meaning Dale will now be TEAMMATES with the wonder fag Jeff Gordon. This news is extremely difficult to take and all but makes my transition to a new driver complete. Jr has done nothing to earn all the supporters he has. God forbid he actually make the chase and be incontention for a damn championship. So a break down below will show who I will be rooting for from now on. Dale could win me back because, well his dad was a damn legend and one of my favorite people in sports of all time. I will never forget that sad day when dale died, me and leighton were in shock.

PS Douscher (Aaron) dropped a Dale Earnhardt garbage can down our garbage shoot a couple of days before the accident, me and leighton still partially blame aaron.

Donovan = Show me the money

Wow now tell me that is not one of the biggest F jobs I have ever seen. Donovan just did UF over nasty. Better hope all these recruits he got do not jump ship. Well your AD is going to have to use his skills now to find a replacement because most of the other spots have been filled. Wow I thought he signed a 7yr extension with UF. Whats the consesus pissed off or happy for him??

Don't know if you watch So You Think You Can Dance, but....

I was watching it last night and towards the end they had this pretty little young woman named Janet from Tampa who happened to have one arm, big hair, and is now a medical sales rep in Tampa. Anyway, is this Golden Girl Janet from FSU? It HAS to be!

BTW, she made it to Vegas!

New Shoes...

Since I am terribly bored at work today, I'll post some pics of my new rims. I needed to get tires about a month ago, so I figured I would go ahead and get rims too. I turned around and sold my stock rims and tires to cover some of the cost, and ultimately got my new rims for basically free. Anyway, enjoy.

Cool Website

This website ancestry.com has compiled somewhere in the range of 45 million military records dating back to the revolutionary war. It is free to use until June 6th then they charge you to use it much like the rest of the site. You can actually view draft cards and such things like that. Tells you when the person was born along with date of birth and in some cases even which unit they served in. Pretty cool if you have a relative that helped serve the US of A.

New OS

I installed xubuntu last night which is a variant of ubuntu running on a less demanding desktop environment.

The install went amazingly smoothly. There is a nice GUI for setting up your partitions and it even sets up your grub.conf for you. It found my Windows drive and set it up so I can dual boot.

The install found all my hardware and my speakers even worked right off the bat (which I haven't had much luck with other linux distros).

My only gripe is the lack of `su`. You have to do all admin work through sudo.

I haven't gotten to do much with it yet, gotta go to work and all.

But this could be the start of a renewed friendship between my home life and linux (we just linux at work).

Worst Web Design... Ever

Just take a look at this website and you'll see what I mean. My boss got a link to this website in a newsletter from ExpertsExchange that was describing what not to do when designing a website. Some of the terrible design choices on this website include: 29 scrolling marquees, 1.3mb of plain text, justified text with no padding, titles too long for the navigation buttons, animated gifs, a terrible color scheme, a static 1200 pixel wide layout... and I could keep going. Not to mention the fact that you have no idea what this company does by looking at or even browsing through the website! I would be interested to know if someone got paid for the design of this site.

NFL Draft

Well ladies and Gents the NFL draft is this weekend where we can sit there and dedicate nearly a whole weekend to sitting on our ass and watching names pop on a screen and of course gaucking at Mel Kiper's hair. So be sure when you are sitting on your couches watching your big screen's (in J's case his hand held TV) sipping on your fine Busch Light with a hefty portion of Nachos and Pretzels, be sure to keep one eye open for me. I will be one of the few idiots dressed in BROWNS gear cheering/booing for the picks on saturday. I will gladly cheer or boo for your favorite team if they dont pick who you want just let me know.

Details: Start handing out tickets at 6AM able to get in line at 5AM. So will prob be leaving the apartment at 4:45ish. Doors open at 11 with the line starting at 10. It will be held in Radio City Music Hall. I plan to stay for the entirety of the first round depending on how board I get maybe the whole first day. And the price of admission....the wasting of a full day on nothing. FREE!!!!
Now the price of food and drink while in attendance I would rather not think about.

Car Downgrade, Cashflow Upgrade

Used Civic Hybrid? ... check.
Lower payment? ....... check.
Lower insurance? ...... check.
~50 mpg? ................... check.

Some may even say this is an upgrade from my previous car, considering its green nature. I got it on Thursday but I'm just getting around to taking pictures of it today. I've driven it all over the place the past 3 days, putting about 300 miles on it using only a half a tank of gas! Not to mention I can finally get regular gas, my old one was premium only. So I'm the first one to go hybrid, what do you guys have to say about that?

Back on the net

So we finally got internet and tv back after almost a week without. I know, I know... some may call me a hero battling the forces of evil. I say I am just a man who had to move and, therefore, go without tv or internet for a week. Hall-of-fame worthy... maybe, legendary not quite.

Anyway we are officially moved into the new house as of last Friday. We have successfully unpacked most of the boxes and done about half of the painting that will be done. We are getting furniture delivered today so that will hopefully make it seem not so empty.

I will probably be taking a video to show the parents, so I'll post that when I get it.

My Blog (again)

Like a pheonix rising from the ashes, a lame blog is reborn. Except this time I'm hoping I can keep it interesting and fresh, at least to the tech-minded. I need suggestions for potential names and styles, I'm trying to think of something professional, maybe even something that could fly as a company name, in the event that I use the root directory of the site to advertise web design services. (Yes Jae, if that were the case I would switch to a real host / domain name.) Anyway, leave comments here, there, both places, it doesn't matter.

Fo' Shiz, I remember most of these

Happy Birthday

Adam, Happy 25th. Good Luck with your mid-terms this week and I am really looking forward to seeing you this weekend.

You Damn Right...!

Some additions to the Blog

On the right side you'll see two new things:

News in your area, it pulls articles from google news given a list of searches. I figured a good thing to put would be each state where one of us lives. If I forgot any states, let me know and I can add it.

Random Video Clips, given a list of search words it will show a few youtube & google video movies. Right now I am searching (college football, basketball, fishing, florida, college, funny, motorcycles, action). If you can think of anything else to search, let me know.

Now you can spend your days at work doing even less things constructive!

Interesting Article

Article - "Pi is Wrong"

Came across a link to this article on digg today, and I thought it was pretty interesting. In short, this guy isn't saying the actual value of Pi is wrong, but that Pi should have been defined as 2Pi. In other words, instead of Pi being the ratio between the circumference and diameter of a circle, it would be the ratio between the circumference and the radius. It would have cleaned up the factor of 2 that appears in many formulas that use Pi. I especially like the analogy early in the article comparing radian measure to a clock, that is really the main point of the entire article.

Crazy Obstacle Course

This is an impressive display of athleticism, I'm convinced this guy is a professional gymnast and not a fisherman. As stated in the description, this guy is only the second to finish the course out of over 500 attempts. I don't know where they come up with these game show ideas, they must have built this course just to watch people fall and hurt themselves.

Where's the bunny?

Happy Easter everyone!!!
Hope everyone gets to enjoy the day...
unlike me, I will be working 2pm-1am....again. Yipee.

New blog name contest

Let's hear some ideas for a new blog name / catchphrase.

For reference, past ones have been:
I almost - close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades... and man love
Google *this*
Beavers and Bananas shouldn't date
This is > Eric's blog

I think there was one more, but can't remember. I'm expecting some creative ideas, especially from you Josh.

Happy Birthday......to ME

Happy Birthday to me on Sunday. 25 for some reason sounds substantially older then 24. But i suppose I am just that much wiser. My thunder is being stolen this weekend by a certain man named Jesus. But being the good person I am I will take the back seat to him this weekend.

Let the birthday bash begin....WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO

For those of you that have seen 300

Happy Easter

UF owns OSU

What a game, OSU must hate us. Football and basketball taken from them in the same year.
