Captain Cavatelli

That is my new nickname.
Cavatelli is my fav pasta. I made hundreds of these delectable pastas by hand for my birthday.
Then I invested in this handy machine.

Thats right. It makes the same tasty noodle in a fraction of the time.
This is a fraction of the pasta I made today.

Now don't patronize me, cuz besides this the only things I know how to cook are Hot Pockets and Cereal, and I don't even get that right half the time. Sometimes I poor to much milk and it gets soggy to fast... you know what I mean?

Repair Keyboard... 0/140th of the cost: Check

Our MacBook Pro had a broken key on it, due to an individuals archaic repair, the the "Key Nipple" (an actual computer part term) was ripped off the key. I took it to the Apple Store expecting a quick and cheap repair. It was only a small piece of rubber that needed replacing right?
Wrong they told me it would cost $140 bucks. They would HAVE to replace the entire keyboard.
I went home and did this.

This is the broken key. Without a nipple.


This is a nipple I removed from a much older laptop, sitting on the razor blade I used to cut it out of the old laptop.


This is the new nipple (from the old laptop) placed in the hole left by the broken nipple.


Here is the delete key, re-installed over the replacement nipple.
The notion that they wanted me to replace the entire keyboard, a $140 expenditure, over maybe a ¢10 piece of rubber/silicon is absolutely ridiculous, and not to mention wasteful. I love Apple products and their software they continue to excel over all their competitors, but for a company that boasts "The Greenest Family of Notebooks" to be so wasteful is ridiculous.
Here is a video of the fully functional delete key in use.

Slurry of pictures

haha, i can just hear the asian guy sounding this out in his head as he put the letters in there..


live bait machine, i feel like this speaks for itself



after a long night of driving this scene was rather shocking, but once i realized this semi was being towed, i did the only safe thing and took a picture


I just found this scene funny, parker, portable dvd player, dog and a basket of vitamins...and parkers way tall.


The intersection of "Parker and Marsol". Thats probably as close as it gets.

Who needs terrorist?

If a couple birds is all it takes to bring down a plane, then who really needs terrorists. Seriously, am I the only one who see's this as a serious design flaw?

Lie To Me

This show is great, it's really informative.
It's on fox.
After a couple episodes I found myself watching people, and taking note of things I had seen on the show. This lady at the petshop totally lied when she told this guy that the most adorable english bulldog puppies shots where up to date.

I May Never Love Another

Title grabbed your attention didn't it. You probably all grabbed a waste basket just in case you needed to barf. Well let me release some of your tension, this is no cheesy, gross post about romantic blah blah blah.
This is about one boys love for the car he drove in High School. I know that as a young teenager I was rather spoiled, but I simply will never love another car. Someday I desire to own another "Polo Green 1994 BMW 740 iL". So many fond memories.
I have had the opportunity now to drive a ton of other cars, but none have left me feeling as safe, comfortable and young as I did behind that beautiful green monster.
One day it will be mine again.

Cold

So Cleveland is cold. I was walking to a job interview yesterday, and got "Frostnip" which is the step before frostbite, it was pretty painful, and I got a really bad headache. In other news, I am pretty sure I got the job, I just have to pass a test tomorrow and I am golden.

Though this was funny.
