It's as if I've never blogged before.

So, here it is... it's been days since I posted last. I think it best that I just barrel through a few items as I'm also sick as shit right now. 102.3 degree temperature when I woke up this morning.

Also, I'm in process of learning to type Dvorak, which is an interesting experience. Dvorak is the best layout... the best page I've found on Dvorak and it's history is here. I'm not sure I'm going to be able to retrain myself, but I thought I'd give it a try as more and more people are making the change. Who knows, maybe it will become the standard. I think it's funny that it's said that the Qwerty layout was devised to slow typists down to prevent typewriter jams. It's actually meant to slow you down.

Anyway, enough of that... on to some things you care about... maybe.


Peeta

Seriously, this guy does some amazing work.


Russian Man Arrested for International Beer Run

Here's the article.... he went to Japan to get some beer, they arrested him for illegal entry. That's it... but that's enough to make it funny.


The German Army wants YOU!!*

Transgaming Cedega 6.0

This is pretty cool... Transgaming has released Cedega 6.0. Cedega is a Linux package designed to emulate Microsoft's DirectX. Basically, it let's you play Windows games under Linux. There's a preview here, you can see how it runs.


Crocagator?

I have no idea what this says, but Mike sent it to me and it's got a funny picture.


Fallout 3, closer to reality?

Previously, Interplay had been licensing the Fallout IP to Bethesda, but, now it seems that it's been outright sold. It could be that we're closer to a Fallout 3 than ever before. Also, the Fallout MMO may still become a reality as well.


Maniac Mansion... Speed Run

The Grumpy Gamer posted an interesting read after seeing a YouTube post for a speed run through a game he'd actually worked on. The old point and click games from LucasArts really were the best.


The Interwebs...

An interesting article on Net Neutrality...

Of course, there are some that thing the internet needs to be 'rebooted'.


$250M Human Error

Oops...


Chris Rock tells it like it is... how not to get your ass kicked by the police.




OMG... save us from the Water!




Vista on your Mac

This is not the first time this argument has been made, and it isn't any less stupid now than it was before. The new Vista requires that you install either the Business or Ultimate version in a virtualization environment. This means that you want to run it on your Mac under Parallels or VMware, you have to buy the more expensive versions. Of course, you can just dual boot using boot camp and choose which ever version you want. So, it's really not a punishment for Mac users as they claim...

Of course... go ahead and try to install Mac OS X on PC, virtualized or dual-boot... oh wait, you can't...


The Landloard...

Will Farrell isn't really all that funny... but a little kid swearing like this is amusing.




Worst Movies Ever.





That's it...

for now, hopefully that gets me somewhat caught up. I need to do some reviews, including L4yer Cak3, Penny Dreadful, The Devil's Rejects, and Thr3e (which isn't a prequel to Se7en).
