Arms Sales in Gulf Will Counter Terrorism, Rice Says
Awesome idea! Let’s give the Middle East just what they need, more guns! You know because it’s worked so good for us in the past and it most likely won’t end up biting us in the ass later. No way, that would never happen. You know, [...]
Well I guess that answers that question. I was so afraid this was going to be terrible (*ahem* Daredevil, Fantastic Four, etc.), but Favreau seems to have made it decent. Though we’ll still have to wait and see what the final product looks like.

Seems the Grand Ole Party (though I’m starting to think that ‘P’ stands for something else, zing!) is a little afraid of what the general public wants to ask them. [...]
Where’d the Cheese Go?
I’m having way too much fun with this.
It’s only a 5.6MB download and can run off of your USB drive. Poker on the go!
So the laptop, though working, has become touch-and-go like a patient on life support. I can’t really move it or I will lose the power connection. Sure, I could order a new mobo but that would cost $300+ plus installation on an outdated laptop. Forget that mess, I needs a new toy.

Someone was working overtime at the Apple trailers department and over the last week a whole gaggle of new ones got put up. I’m a sucker for movie trailers and if there were a channel with them on, I’d watch the damn things all day. There’s a subtle art to the movie trailer [...]
Getting up on a Sunday morning at the butt-crack of dawn to go fishing, then coming home to go out and hit golf balls for an hour which was followed by coming home and watching Sunday news shows, I realize that I am finally cresting that hill, in a way. I’m certainly not knocking [...]

BoingBoing and a friend recently posted some videos of prisoners at the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center (CPDRC) dancing to Michael Jackson’s Thriller (see below).
