Finally gave in and joined Orkut

Speaking of Orkut, I finally caved. I had an invite to Orkut years ago and never really thought much about joining a social network like this one. There was OldFriends around and that was annoying me enough, I didn’t need more. And no, I will not join MySpace! I can’t stand that place. Anyway… The…

Yahoo! adds YIM to email

I don’t know anyone who likes the Yahoo! Web Messenger appliation. Its absolutely ugly, clunky and not exactly nice to use. It feels like its been left in the 90s. Well, in their ever continuing race to catch up to Google’s browser based applications, Yahoo! has decided that Google integrating Google Talk into Gmail was…

Political campaign funding

Stunning one-of-a-kind fixer-upper. Constructed on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. in the 19th and 20th centuries, “The Capitol” is an absolute treasure exemplifying the very best in 19th-century neoclassical architecture in full period detail and charm.

Two police officers sued Burger King Corp., claiming they were served hamburgers that had been sprinkled with marijuana. The lawsuit says…

I’m bored of it now…

You know what Chris, I really cant be bothered wasting so much time on you. You’re just not worth the effort. You’re like that mosquito that buzzes around at night but never bites. Annoying, but thats about it. I’m bored of you. I’m tired of yawning at your childish antics. For someone in his mid-30s,…

Bing – Bong – HAHAHAHAHA :-P

Yes, I have been very lazy lately and not really posted any content thats opinionated or useful (well, not much anyway) but bear with me just a little longer. ;-) This has to be the funniest kid I’ve seen in a video for the longest time. I actually started laughing with him. Dangerous ;-) We’ll…

"Dad, give me the keys!"

So very very glad I don’t have kids. In fact, even more glad I haven’t spent $50,000 on a car. :-) For those of you that want a better look, heres a link to images of the production model of the 2007 Ford Mustang GT-500 “Eleanor”
