This commercial just popped on the TV and I had to backup, just to see if I saw what I thought I saw. Yep, sure enough… I did.
Now, this is totally wrong. And it gives me a bit of pause, the next time I remind my wife of my Scottish heritage and need to wear authentic clothing. After all, there is that little bit of Korean in me too. Maybe if I just forget the bagpipes and mutton chop side burns. Who knows?
Check it out:
So, it’s not often that something really catches my attention and amusement, but I found this site, which led me to another site, which… Well, you get the idea. Anyway, I’ll let you determine for yourself whether or not you think there are some truly screwed up people out there, but this guy is hysterically disturbing.
First of all, ignore the twitches on the guys face, along with the grit teeth. You have to be one disturbed dude to make such a video for your prey girlfriend.
I found this on a site called Psychotic Letters from Men. And the site truly lives up to its title. Wonderful entertainment people.
Enjoy!
It has been a while since I last posted anything. The primary reason was that was simply due to being in a head down mode.
Coming out of 2008 hasn’t been the easiest thing to do. And taking the helm of a new company has left me with just a “little” bit of work. But has been going quite well and I’m looking forward to the business turning profitable this month– just 2 months after starting.
I will try to get caught up with my posts, but am also posting on the company’s blog, which has priority. Apparently, I’m still the go-to guy for answers to numerous subjects.
Cheers,
Mike
Sometimes you can’t quite explain why certain chains of events occur. You can try. But no matter how much effort you exert, things can’t be explained.
Well, I’m through trying to rationalize. I’ve got a new gig. And as far as I’m concerned, I have a lifetime supply of tackling fuel. Some of my friends, have never had the fortune of watching The Waterboy. Here’s a clip for their benefit.
If you’re looking for a great pair of headphones for various athletic endeavors, look no further. I’ve had some great headphones from Shure and from Klipsch. But these really make me happy because they not only sound great, but they’re wireless and they have great remote controls to change volume and songs. Now, they also do something else that my Shure’s can’t do. They can make phone calls.
If you’re like me and like listening to tunes while riding at 20mph, you might like to be able to make an emergency call if you happen to break down. Or what happens if someone needs to call you in an emergency? Well, to date I’ve had to keep my iPod in one pocket and my cell phone in another. I’ve tried some headphone attachments that add a microphone to my Klipsch or Shures, but it just creates a really long cord with a really bad microphone.
Now, the problem with these headphones isn’t with the headphones. The problem is trying to use them with an iPhone (same goes for a 2nd generation iPod Touch). Apple currently doesn’t support A2DP, which is Bluetooth’s mechanism for streaming audio to stereo headphones. So for the most part, you have to use a special bluetooth dongle that adds 1.5 inches to the length of your iPhone. Plus, the dongle vibrates loose during movement. In short, the combination isn’t very pleasant.
However, all of this should be solved with the release of the new OS update. I’m excited about that. Right now, I’m having fun working on my first iPhone apps. The SDK’s pretty cool. And this is certainly new frontier for me. But for now, I’m very excited to have a fix to an annoying problem.
Now, if you’re looking to go down such a path, make sure you get your UDID from iTunes before you try updating the firmware. Otherwise iTunes won’t be able to read the UDID from you phone. You’ll have to obtain it via Xcode instead. Just FYI.
Enjoy!
