Splattered Thoughts

I love that astronaughts now are so tied into the whole internet-video thing. Here's a pretty cool video of them doing some work inside and out. Cool shots of earth from space too!
A lot of it doesn't have sound for some reason though.

Okay, so I threw together a mock-up design in 3ds Max, and it's very simple. But I'd like to get a few opinions on it, so I'll try to explain it here.

My idea is for a much easier to maintain kitty litter box.

Think of those hard plastic grocery baskets they have at supermarkets and what not (the handheld one). They stack into each other very nicely. This uses that same basic principal, but with a bit of tweaking.
You have 4 baskets (very lightweight, not bulky) that stack inside of each other. The grating on the bottom is designed so that 2 baskets stacked inside of each other create a solid bottom. The grates would need 2 different designs. Stacked A^B^A^B.

Then all you have to do is lift up one of the baskets and sift it about a lil, all of the loose litter will fall into the other 3 baskets. You dump the collected waste, and then place the other 3 inside of the 1st one. Repeat as necessary! Keep the whole set-up on a nice little rubber/plastic/whatever mat that can be easily cleaned from time to time.


Good idea? Bad idea?
Gimme yer thoughts.

This window will blow your mind! Ladies on Michigan Ave this time of night will do likewise to other parts of your body.

I love it when my calender reminds me that my mother's birthday was 51 weeks ago. Guess I'm a little late, eh?

It's kinda dark, but that's okay. It's still hilarious.

Don't remember if I posted this before. Anyhoo...

This is a technology to keep an eye on;




Go get it now to try it out!

Dear John,
I hope you can help me. The other day, I set off for work leaving my husband in the house watching the TV. I hadn't driven more than a mile down the road when the engine conked out and the car shuddered to a halt. I walked back home to get my husband's help.
When I got home I couldn't believe my eyes. He was in our bedroom with the neighbour's daughter. I am 32, my husband is 34, and the neighbour's daughter is 19. We have been married for ten years.
When I confronted him, he broke down and admitted that they had been having an affair for the past six months. I told him to stop or I would leave him. He was made redundant six months ago and he says he has been feeling increasingly depressed and worthless.
I love him very much, but ever since I gave him the ultimatum he has become increasingly distant.. He won't go to counselling and I'm afraid I can't get through to him anymore.
Can you please help?
Sincerely, Sally

Dear Sally,
A car stalling after being driven a short distance can be caused by a variety of faults with the engine. Start by checking that there is no debris in the fuel line. If it is clear, check the vacuum pipes and hoses on the intake manifold and also check all grounding wires. If none of these approaches solves the problem, it could be that the fuel pump itself is faulty, causing low delivery pressure to the injectors.
I hope this helps,

John

This lady clearly does not know what she just said about the Obama's.



I guess she probably meant like fist bumping or a form of holding hands... but that's now what that means.

Okay, this may be the coolest thing ever.




Urban Legend ER.


I can't tell exactly why this is so awesome, but it might be because of the girls in their underwear...

But I really think it's because of the helmets.

This will fuck with your mind;

I just encountered this video for the first time. It's about fonts. It's pretty damn funny and creative.



As a would-be designer the video appealed to me a lot. I have a font collection mulling about in the 22,000 area, and I spend a lot of time trying to find the perfect one for whatever it is I'm working on.

I dunno how I missed this video before. I'm going to have to spend some more time dipping my boredom stick into the CollegeHumor archives.

That makes it sound like I'm going to rape a website. Not illegal, yet.

Eat your heart out, Ben.



Which is probably a pretty acurate description of the experience of actually eating this.

Apparently they sell this at Meijers. I've never seen it.

Presto!

So I finally got my damn car working.

It's always had a problem starting when it gets cold. Single-digit temp and it's a no-go. Below 20 and it would start after a while. But once it warms back up it's fine again.
Previous owners said they could never figure out why it was like that. New battery, spark plugs, blah blah blah.

Well this year, once it hit single-digit temps, it wouldn't start. Then still wouldn't work even after it warmed up.

After days of hours of digging around in the engine, and reading about all sorts of solutions on the internet, I decided it was the ignition switch.
Swapped that out (as well as the cylinder key doohicky) and it fired right up. Yay! So no more late days because my car wouldn't start.

Is it ever wrong to do the right thing?

My answer is "no". But I would take a very specific view on what is right. If it's wrong to do something right, then it's not truly right. It's wrong.

This is pretty awesome.

Those of you with pondering minds can think about this and give your answer. If somebody actualy does, I'll give my answer too. But nobody will, I predict. But regardless...

Is it ever wrong to do the right thing?

2009 is here, and I figured I would list some resolutions of mine. Because that's the thing to do, yes?

1. I will continue not smoking.
2. I will continue not being an alcoholic.
3. I will continue not being a junkie.

Wow, these are easy when you're already perfect!

4. I will stop saying "You go girl!" quietly to myself every time I successfully open a bottle of pop.
5. I will stop bragging that I finally learned "ellemmennopee" is not only one letter in the alphabet.
6. I will remember to wipe everytime I go poo.

Those should be easy enough. Maybe some hard ones to really raise the bar?

7. I will become the first black president.
8. I will go to an island to hunt the world's most dangerous game; The Mogwai.
9. I will star in my own summer blockbuster entitled "52 Card Pick-Up: The Movie"

And lastly...

10. I resolve to not leave any uncurrected typos in anything I write.

Happy New Year Everyone! Well, unless you had an awesome party and didn't invite me. If that's the case, I instead hope your new year, as well as any following it, is shitty.

No.

Why do people insist on calling telekinesis "psychokinesis"? It's not the same thing at all. Yeah, it doesn't matter because it's not real, but it's just annoying.

Telekinesis is the ability to move objects using only your thoughts.
Psychokinesis is the same thing?
Is telepathic and psychopathic the same thing?

Hmmm, guess not. So everybody on the internet, fix your fucking shit!
