Ubuntu Hair Studio

Ubuntu Hair Studio

I snapped this photo of the Ubuntu Hair Studio from a San Diego, CA deals and coupons magazine. Odd. It appears Mark Shuttleworth is expanding the original Ubuntu Linux brand name to the beauty industry. Actually, this makes perfect sense. Although geeks tend to thrive in dark environments, constantly clenching their computers, they need to be treated like queens every once in a while too.

Singing the Praises of Big Coffee Mugs

Huge coffee cups are wonderfully versatile. I like to put soup, rice, water, juice, and soda into mine. I use it for nearly any humanly edible or potable item… except coffee. It also provides a low intensity workout for us skinny-armed office-workers.

Programmer’s Tan

Matt and I compare our \"Programmer\'s Tans\"

At lunch today, when I lifted the sleeve of my shirt to scratch my upper arm, Jennifer remarked at how white the clothed portions of my arms were. That quickly resulted in me and Matt comparing our Programmer’s Tans with the requisite manly scowl.

Flight of the Conchords, Upside Down…

Flight of the Conchords - truly the best thing that has come out of New Zealand since, well, Lord of the Rings. Ashley, a fellow New Zealander has posted up a moving rendition of “I’m not crying” from ep 1, season 1. Take a peek :)

Visiting Annie in Monterey

Monterey Bay Aquarium

I made a road trip up to Monterey to visit Annie about two or three weeks ago. Now I’m writing a post about it >_>
Better late than never, eh eh?

Pictures are worth a thousand or so words, so I’ll let them do the talking.

Camping in Cleaveland National Forest

Laguna Campgrounds

I’ve finally uploaded the photos from the Laguna Campgrounds, Cleveland National Forest trip. Also, while we’re on the topic, I’ve decided to plunk down the 25 dollars a year and go Pro with Flickr.

Making a Fool of Myself at 60 Frames Per Second

These are the results of the 60 fps test on my new Canon a570 IS. Be forewarned: what you’re about to see is a tad disturbing.

Definitions of ‘Sexy’ May Vary

Sexy Product DescriptionI just came across the strangest, oddest, least-thesaurus-using, product description ever. A link sent by Matt brought me to the DeskLickr download page.

On the surface, it’s an idea I can get behind - dynamic wallpaper that is pulled automatically from everyone’s favorite photo site, Flickr. Upon further examination, I found the description rather off-putting. This guy used “sexy” four times in that tiny block of text describe software. Someone, get this man a Roget’s!… or some female companionship.

Who Needs the Kwik-E-Mart?

I doooooooo~Kwik-E-Mart
On Saturday, Matt, Annabelle, Julie, Richard, and I made the Simpsons fan pilgrimage to the Kwik-E-Mart in Burbank. There was a line that wrapped around the store, but it was worth the wait. I’m impressed by the effort taken to decorate the 7-11. They even had ‘El Barto’ graffiti on the wall.

I just got a 3-pack of Buzz Cola while Matt went all out and purchased the Pink Donuts, Buzz, and Radioactive Man comic.

I highly recommend seeing the movie if you get the chance! I caught the midnight showing on Thursday and was thoroughly satisfied - it was much better than I expected.

Take a peek at my Flickr feed for more pictures.

Tom Selleck is Upstanding Christian

Chick’s Christian dude and Tom Selleck sure look alike

I don’t recall how the topic of Jack Chick’s tracts got brought up, but when Matt (of Unfeddered Access fame) showed me the comic, Dark Dungeons, I instantly thought of the Magnum P.I. Yes, the Upstanding Christian gentleman that rallies against the heathen depravity of Dungeons and Dragons in the comic bears a striking similarity to Tom Selleck.

Separated at birth? Chick’s muse? You be the judge.
(Original Comic and Original Selleck for reference.)
