Matsumoto Castle Once again I am in Japan. This is trip number 18. Flew into Nagoya and then hung around there for a few days on business before heading north on Wednesday. Kaz, JC (other JC) and I found ourselves with an hour to kill in Matusmoto while we waited for a train, so […] You may have noticed that the rotating Kubrick image headers are no longer working. This is due to a site upgrade. Finally upgraded from WordPress 1.5 to 2.02, which of course broke the theme. I will fix it as soon as possible, please bear with me… I will also make some new Kubricks if I […] Sparky! On Saturday some friends and I went to Tempe Town Lake for the Red Bull 2006 Flugtag. Flugtag is German and stands for “Flying Day”. What IS Flugtag you ask? I would call it more of a “Gliding Day” than a “Flying Day”, or maybe more of a “Falling Day”, since most […] Yeah, it’s been a while, but here is a link to a bunch of funny stuff I’ve seen lately. First up is a video of a truly hideous, but incredibly funny event that took place in World of Warcraft. Apparently some lady died in real life, and her online friends decided to hold an online […] This post is another grab bag of stuff I’ve been sending myself, telling myself to put it on the blog. First up is this cool post about the clueless in our society. Called Unskilled and Unaware of it, this post to Damn Interesting goes over the fact that most people think they are above average, […] The Flamingo I spent the week before last on vacation. Mom, Dad and my little brother JC came out from Florida and we did a bunch of fun things together. We went to Vegas and stayed at the Flamingo for a few days. Things done in Vegas: visiting every casino from Wynn at one end […] There is probably some unspoken blog rule that one should never post just because it has been a long time since one has posted, but frankly I don’t give a rat’s a$$. To be honest, part of that might be because of the beer tonight, but this post is primarly because it has been 2 […] The weekend basically started Thursday (sort of), with a nice reprise of the Pint Club at Rock Bottom. Several of us met there and had a few good beers while chatting about life. Since most of us work at the same place, work inevitably came up, followed by the inevitable cursing 🙂 Friday was a […] Did that title get your attention? No, I am not back in school (thank God!). Instead, a friend of mine just pointed me to this HILARIOUS website at the University of Wisconsin with a lab report from some undergrad trying to replicate the findings whatever giant in the field determined the title to this post. […] Ok, this post is a grab bag of stuff I have sent to myself, telling myself I should put them on the blog. First up is Second Life. This is an online world where you can buy real-estate, and basically do a lot of the things you can do in the “real” world. This may […] For those who are not privy, Engrish is a term that refers to relatively humorous attempts by Japanese writers to use English words and phrases. This is often done as part of advertising and no visitor to Japan will probably complete their trip without seeing several examples of this. Often times the most hilarious ones […] A friend of mine noticed these very cool wallpaper photos of macs on Flickr… Tres cool… Tortilla Trailhead Originally uploaded by neepster. Saturday I took a hike I have wanted to take for almost a year (ever since Mom, Dad, Jay and I drove past this trailhead on the way to Roosevelt Dam). I went for a hike at Tortilla Trailhead. Not to be confused with Tortilla Flat Trailhead, which […] From a friend of mine comes this link to an interview with an author of a new book. The book, entitled “Confessions of an Economic Hit Man” is about how the NSA and CIA used civilian commercial enterprises to sink third world countries into massive debt as a means to both drum up business for […] Jay and Renee Originally uploaded by neepster. Just a quick blog note to throw up some pics from Christmas. This pic is my brother Jay and his girlfriend Renee. […] Well, I’m back after a nice relaxing holiday vacation in Florida with the family. Things done while on vacation: sleeping (a lot), drinking (a bit), played some golf with Dad and Uncle Chuck, drove a Vette, shot some firearms with JC (first time, thx JC!), visited with cousin Chuck at his place and took a […] From the realm of science fiction comes this very interesting article. Apparently the Air Force is going to try to make some warp engines using some strange quantum concept that says a very large magnetic field can be used to create a gravity well. Supposedly, if this worked, we could go from the Earth to […] From a friend of mine at work comes the following flash movie. This movie is HILARIOUS. The movie is about what you need to do to become a Republican. The premise is that the viewer is a Democrat who is tired of being a member of the losing side. So here is a short video […] With the holidays here upon us, like many folks I am trying to finish off the final few errands before Christmas strikes. This includes buying a few gifts (which I am finally done with as of this evening – whew!), packing, listening to Christmas songs and generally trying to get in the mood of the […] Thanks to JC’s SCHUA video, I have now discovered Google Video! I didn’t know this existed, but it is kinda interesting. Take for example this video of an idiot getting shot with 140 paintballs. Or this one of Bob Sapp (a sort of ultimate fighter in something called the K1) chasing little Japanese women around […] |
