Why?

I mean, really, why?

Taco-flavored kisses for all!

Jennifer Lopez wants to be first female US president.

Which begs the question, why do we give these people the time of day?

Tigerific

Go figure. I received Apple’s Tiger (the latest Mac OS X release) a day early! It’s working great so far. I just thought I’d rub it in for those who still have to wait until tomorrow afternoon to get their hands on it.

Toilet deodorizer

I totally need this for when nature calls while at work. The same website also has a ton of neat stuff. It’s slightly overpriced though. A lot of things can be found elsewhere and cheaper, but it’s still kind of fun to look through.

VoIP

Today 2 guys came to our house and wired all the phone-jacks around the house to go through a small black box sitting next to our DSL modem. Today we were the first paying VoIP customers in town with a local number (I’m sure some people have Vonage.)

It’s awesome. The quality is perfect and I can do fancy things such as “if work calls, send them to voicemail” or “if my parents call, and I don’t answer, send the call to my office phone, followed by my cell phone” and stuff like that.

And on top of that, it’s half the price of our regular calling plan that we had with SBC.

Update: Today we are finally 100% SBC-free so of course I just got a call from SBC telling us that DSL is now available in our area. I said “we just canceled your DSL service and switched companies”. “You did?” “Yes.” “Oh. Thank you!” You are welcome SBC, you are welcome.

Asshole embeding

In the past I’ve talked about people hotlinking to my pictures. Now when people hotlink to my pictures, they see a horribly disgusting gaping asshole. So I thought I’d show you what happens to people who do this.

Here is a good example of the consequences. He fixed it (read the comments.) The funny thing is that he is mad at me. Heh, so here’s another example.

Interestingly enough, people don’t seem to mind or know because no one has most people have not complained. But it’s been like that for a while.

The picture also appears on people’s personal profiles, so you see things like rainbows, unicorns and the asshole.

I’m loving every minute of it. And by looking at the logs, less and less people are trying to hotlink to my pictures and they are removing the ones that they linked to in the past.

Returning the favor

Dallas took a picture of my site on his PSP so I figured that I’d return the favor with mine.

Maybe I should have wiped my pizza-enhanced fingerprints from the screen before the picture.

PSP browser

Dallas has set up his PSP to browse the interweb and he sent me a picture of this website on his PSP. How cool is that? Thanks, Dallas!

My latest obsession

When I see something I like, I obsess with it until I either buy it or talk myself out of it. 99% of the times I must buy it. It’s about impossible to talk me out of getting things.

Now I want a PSP.

Could someone please talk me out of it? If I had my car (still in the shop), I would go buy one now.
