Pre-Walkthrough Cleaning

     So my current place has their walk-through tomorrow and I just busted my ass cleaning and burnt the crap out of my eyes and lungs from the massive amount of bleach. But i don't know what they hope to inspect 8 days before I actually have to be out of there. I mean, all my stuff is still here and in the way. Anyway, lets see if I can get any sleep this night, unlike the...

The Saga of a First-Time Homebuyer: The Scheme

     Alright, short post. Below are the official colors of the Frank Empire. If I were to make that a flag I don't thin kit'd look half bad. but in the center I might have a picture of a chorizo burrito in the center and pho', dry salami, mayonnaise, and a chili pepper at the corners. ...

Sorry Japan, Microsoft Project Natal is for America

Microsoft’s belated disclosure of the space requirements for its innovative new Project Natal interface have struck many as being physically impractical for all but the large living room, with the controller demanding a “clear” space 4m (13 feet) deep.The device (an Xbox 360 peripheral which uses sensors to interpret bodily movement) is...

POWER UP!!!

A boy who was desperate to “power up” after watching “Transformers” started drinking gasoline in emulation of the mechanical heroes of the film, suffering permanent brain damage as a result.The boy, a 14-year-old schoolboy living in China’s Sichuan area, apparently enjoyed good grades and was good with machines, perhaps explaining his...

Another Vipper Challenge!!

The Vippers once more threw down the gauntlet (to themselves), challenging all comers: “Make this image cool!” With the decidedly uncharismatic oyaji in question, captured in the midst of an exaggerated flying kick, this presents something of a challenge.Fortunately, there are Photoshop masters at hand: ...

Who like the game Xenogears on the PS1? I did. Enough to do a really bad recording apparently.....

The Saga of a First-Time Homebuyer: The Layout

So the time is nearing and I'm getting a little over excited. I thought, man it would be cool to be able to plan out my wall colors and whatnot without having to buy samples and possibly screw everything up. Wait a sec, holy crap, I CAN! It took two days to finally get an idea of the color scheme, though the kitchen is still a toss up. ...

The news that a tenth of all cooking oil used in China may be made from recycled sewage and laced with toxic contaminants has stunned China.Originating from a report on a state radio station, the news that...

The Saga of a First-Time Homebuyer: The Search for a Lender

Two years. It took two years in this God forsaken housing market for me to find a property that could work for me. And it ended up being a small condo on the second floor of a low rise. Wait, don't congratulate or smack me down yet. There were many factors in my choosing of this condo. Though it wasn't exactly a "choice" in the deeper sense, more like a mutual truce. And so begins the story...

The Seinfeld of Blogs

Alright, it's been a year since I touched or even looked at my other blogs. The fact is I don't even know what to write about anymore. My old pages were apparently too focused on a certain topic and I don't tend to hold an interest in things for too long. I've decided to take anything I'm interested in currently(like right now) and just spatter my brains out all over this blog. Not being...
