037/365: Stray Links
This is a photograph Really. I’d really like to see video just to see what it would look like if she were moving. Peter Kun Frary’s description:. Amazingly, a model in full body paint was posing against a set. She … Continue reading
IGN: 5 Ways to Improve Modern Warfare 2’s Multiplayer. Of the five complaints, the map frequency resonates with me the most. I’ve grown to hate a lot of maps. There needs to be a preference system or a way to … Continue reading
Deadspin’s been running a weekly post called Dead Wrestler of the Week, remembering wrestlers that have died. Most to overdoses or heart failures or a combination of both. This week: Miss Elizabeth. There began not just one love story for … Continue reading
Piroshky Piroshky showed up on Serious Eats. A lot of my friends are big fans. As with most great food spots in Seattle, I’ve still never tried the place. But I’ve heard very, very good things.
026/365: Final Fantasy V
Calling Final Fantasy V one of my favorite games ever is slightly misleading. I have no urge to play through it again‚Äî-if I were to re-play an RPG it‚Äôd be Chrono Trigger or Final Fantasy VII, big surprise. But I’d … Continue reading
New Zealand’s rugby team does the Haka before international matches. (Here’s the Haka of the All Blacks Wikipedia entry.) When Munster hosted the All Blacks at Thomond Park in November 2008, the four New Zealand players in the Munster team … Continue reading
Female wolf spider with babies on board. Exactly what the title says. Instant top fiver for things I don’t want to see in a shower.
Gee’s birthday at Huiyona
I got Jon and Janice in this one! But I don’t have any of Gee, or the dozen other people there. Great times.
Speaking of Sesame Street guests, here’s Will Arnett on Sesame Street. Better if you imagine it as Gob on Sesame Street.
Roger Ebert blogged about his profile in Esquire. If you haven’t, make sure to read the Esquire profile. Cliches to describe it: heartbreaking and uplifting. But it’s interesting to read about Roger Ebert’s thoughts on the magazine article: I knew … Continue reading
Oatmeal Brulee. Then the magic happens‚ÄîBona sprinkles a layer of brown sugar on top and whips out the flame saber. The smell of the just-charred crackly top is just as satisfying as the tap-tap-tap ritual (performed with their compostable corn-based … Continue reading
MarsEdit 2. Mac blogging application. I tried MarsEdit and a few other blogging applications around Christmas 2008 when I first got my MacBook (best present ever, can’t say that enough), and for whatever reason I decided WordPress’s improved interface was … Continue reading
Chris Brown and Elmo. Mostly just wanted to re-post this video because I just watched it again a couple weeks ago and it’s as good as it ever was. On a side note, it looks like Chris Brown might sign … Continue reading
Anthony Bourdain on Yo Gabba Gabba. Plenty of odd guests on this show. Oh yeah, he plays a doctor and not a chef in the segment.
Ant lifting 100 times its weight. Great picture. (Via Gizmodo.)
Justin Bieber ft. Ludacris “Baby”. So very very catchy. Plus the video has a Drake cameo at 1:14. Once they do a song together, that’s a guaranteed #1 on iTunes/Billboard/my-heart and a retired video on TRL ten years ago. (Thanks, … Continue reading
Usher “Nice & Slow” video. Watched this earlier and thought I remembered it. All I remember was the camera angle and him dancing with a shirt that fluttered around. I don’t remember the following great things: 0:27 – Definitely didn’t … Continue reading
021/365: The Setup
First, visit The Setup, a site with interviews with prominent web people focused on their work setups. There are a bunch of forum threads and Flickr pools that have people sharing their computer setups. These don’t get old to me. … Continue reading
018/365: Flying
Here are my friends Jason and Wally riding the thing on top of the Stratosphere in Las Vegas in 2007. I‚Äôm about half a second away from flying through the frame. Would I recommend the ride? Probably once. It goes … Continue reading
017/365: Tying Shirts Around my Head
Back in high school, probably in 10th grade, someone posted a tutorial explaining how to tie a shirt around your head to look like a ninja. Shortly after, I would frequently tie a shirt around my head to look like … Continue reading
013/365: 2004 Hillcrest Teams
I tried to put three pictures together to try and make the teams look like they’re standing next to each other. But then the backgrounds didn’t match so I tried to add the trees in. Then there was a bunch … Continue reading
010/365: Wally’s Vlog
First, I can’t do a design like this without pointing out the inspiration. I saw it over on this Dustin Curtis article. And I basically tried to do the same thing to see how it’d be done using my hackneyed … Continue reading
2010 Hillcrest Super Bowl
007/365: SSD thoughts
Last week I was pretty set on getting a 27″ iMac. It was just a matter of receiving my tax return, saving up for a couple more weeks, and waiting for the flickering and jaundiced screen issues to be sorted … Continue reading
The Terror
I read Hyperion, Fall of Hyperion, Ilium, and Olympos and decided I needed to read more Dan Simmons. So I bought The Terror a couple years ago. Instead of getting the next book in the Hyperion series set on a … Continue reading
004/365: Grocery shopping to grocery hopping
I was grocery shopping when I noticed this. Spoiler alert: a girl is hopping on one leg. I think she broke her ankle or something, but she had a cast on and couldn’t put weight on one of her legs. … Continue reading
003/365: Didn’t promise it’d be interesting
Here’s me stirring some Kraft Macaroni & Cheese: Whole Grain. 51% whole wheat. I like it. Never really fiended for it when I was a kid, but now I love that blue box. Should’ve eaten way more of it when … Continue reading
Ray J’s Wikipedia page. The default image slayed me.
002/365: HTML5, Video, and WordPress
Behold, video in HTML5. Or not (if you’re not on Firefox 3.5, Safari, or Chrome). I read through the Dive into HTML5 video guide, converted the D90 .avi to .ogv and .mp4 files, checked it out in Chrome and Safari … Continue reading
