Big Brother on Brits BIG TIME!

WOW!  OMFG it sucks for you British drivers!  Speedspike!  This (American) system (I apologize for us Americans making this shit) with satellites know where you are and find out how fast you are going. 
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/7608153/New-speed-cameras-trap-motorists-from-space.html You can read about it on the Telegraph paper.  They can mail your speeding ticket without you even knowing! 

You Brits should do something about this shit. 

Top Gear should do something about it because that is just wrong.

The Hunt for Daddy!

Recenty there have been a flood of those Daddy Longlegs!  This is not all a bad thing!  Fred has been after these guys with mixed results.  Here is Fred planning an attack.

Loose Women Sink Ships

All you loose women that tempt men are causing all these earthquakes!  Well an Iranian Cleric is now apparently an expert with earthquakes because he claims that all these earthquakes are from women!  You can check out the Cnn.com video.  Very funny!

I wonder if women cause the rest of natural disasters?

Double or Nothing?

I did it.  I satisfied my curiosity with this new product from KFC called the Double Down.  The fact that I like to gamble in Las Vegas and Blackjack is my choice of game made me even more intrigued.  I saw a video on CNN.com with one of my favorite people at CNN- Jeanne Moos Click here to see the video!  So it was dinnertime and I survived tax day in one piece and felt accomplished.  I decided I wanted to eat something new and I thought I should check out this new breadless sandwich phenomenon.  When I arrived, there weren't a whole lot of people there.  I looked around and there wasn't any advertisements for the Double Down.  Then I ordered it and was sadly disapointed.  That specific store wasn't included in the promotion for some strange reason.  So somehow it all boiled down to them not having the bacon in the middle.  Oh well.  I ordered it regardless and coincidentally enough my wife called me at the exact moment I was ordering my food.  So I got her some grilled chicken. 

I honestly thought I should do a youtube "unboxing" to show the world what it is all about, but I decided to post some pictures here and write about it instead. 

Ok so here is the box it came in. Kind of underwhelming for the uproar this thing has caused.

Here is the exterior shot of the low carb ordeal. 

These guys had the wrapper for the Double D but didn't have the bacon???

And here are the innards of this kosher (sort of) style Double Down.

I didn't like it.  It wasn't because it was greasy.  I am not too keen on breast meat in general and in my opinion it was a bit dry.  I don't know.  Perhaps it is better with bacon.  I do know that everything is better and this should not be an exception.  My wife on the other hand really liked it as is . 

So let me know if you like it.

The Parade is Back!

Happy Day! Mother's Cookies are back! (Actually they have been back for over 10 months) I remember when Mother's Cookies declared Bankruptcy in 2008 and then shut down in October 2008. I feared that my favorite Animal Parade was gone forever! The depressing part was when you went to the supermarket and saw the empty area where the cookies used to live. Very sad indeed. Yesterday I went to the supermarket with my buddy and his young son and went to the cookie aisle and discovered that Mother's Cookies was purchased by Kellogg and they went back home (to the shelves in the supermarket) on May 14, 2009.

FYI, their packaging is exactly the same. After some scrutiny, I noted the Kellogg wording on the side discreetly. Apparently the parent company of Mother's (doesn't that sound weird?) really mismanaged their company. Kellogg will do better.



Thank you Kellogg!!!!!

Changing Passwords

Ok so finally someone came to their senses and determined what everyone else suspected. 

Drumroll please.....changing passwords often does not improve security. 

In fact it wastes time, and money.  Thank you for making us go through this shit for a couple of years and then coming up with this obvious conclusion.  I am not your average computer user and have been aware of this for quite some time already.  If some bozo wants to hack into your computer they will do it eventually.  It's just a matter of time.  That's all they need.  Basic computer principles come into play for security.  Don't use password as your password... and when you are going on vacation, you should turn off your wireless while you are gone.  Generally speaking, simple shit that you can do without wasting your time are the best security measures.  Once you start getting into paranoia, complex security measures, it costs significant more dinero and your time.  Your time is a harder cost to measure because you have to remember a new password ever couple of months, and then you forget it, and then you get locked out, which results in you having to call tech support to reset your password to some other shit and then you have to change it to something else and you have to remember a new password.  And this wastes how much of your time because some dumb shit says that this improves security?

I cannot tell you how many fucking hours I have wasted because some asswipe determines that we have to change passwords every 3 months.  We need to start educating people smart security, not this lame ass shit.

I'm With CoCo

So Conan is BAAAAAAHHHK!!!  He is doing live shows in amphitheatres all over.  And supposedly the masturbating bear is reincarnated as a "self pleasuring panda". 

No really, I went to look for his show online and they were all sold out!  Good for you CoCo!  So I am going to see if I can score some tickets from some 3rd party.  There was a bit of controversy about him going to TBS and "bumping" the George Lopez Show.  But it looks like it's all good George talked about it a bit on Larry King Live (and Larry is getting a divorce because his wife thinks he is banging her sister????) WFT?  While I am talking about LKL, you should go check out the Snoop Dogg interview he did the other day.  Click here to check it out on youtube.com
So back to CoCo, I wish you the best of luck.

Slow Prius in the Fast Lane

What is up with all these Priuses in the fast lane (literally)? Every freaking day I drive to work I have to drive around these self-righteous people! I have no problem with you saving the environment, but do you really have to clog up the fast lane? Here is a news flash for you guys (and gals): YOUR PRIUS IS NOT FAST!!!! IN FACT IT IS SLOW. It may be faster than walking, or a bicycle, or a scooter, or a golf cart but compared to gas powered autos, you are not going to win any drag races (unless its a contest to see who has the lowest drag coefficient). You guys might be good at saving fuel, but do you really have to be inconsiderate and slow down traffic?  Here is a novel idea... the fast lane is for people driving FAST!! 

Hello everyone! This is my new blog. My goal here is to give you an idea of what is going on in my mind! I read lots of news articles and I will post some commentary about some things I find interesting. I do have a yelp page http://br430.yelp.com/ and my intention is that this blog is an extension of my yelp page.

So my first topic that I am writing about is this BLIND Turkish pop singer raced his $250,000+ baby blue Ferrari 430 Scuderia to 182MPH. His buddy guided him in red Ferrari 430 Scuderia that followed him.

I wasn't even aware that the Guinness Book of World Records had a category for fastest blind driver. I do know that they HAD a category for drinking alcoholic beverages but they removed it in 1991 in fear of litigation. I guess they weren't concerned about blind people driving fast. Here is the link to the youtube video of it.

Yes, there are more relevant topics out there, but this one was pretty outrageous and I am a Ferrari fan!
