Freaking clever

This site was holding a contest...

For the best (speculative) design for new Blackberry phones. So I made this, I thought it was neat so I posted it here.

Wuddyah think?

True love is...

a seventy year old man, in camo short shorts, attending a group samba class full of middle aged woman.

Everything is Obesity's Fault

People now can not only blame their own health issues on "obesity" but can now blame the earths health issues on "obesity". I can no longer attend my "greenpeace" gatherings w/o hanging my head in shame. Chubbiness' acceptability is shrinking by the day (play on words?). So sad.

"THE rising number of fat people was yesterday blamed for global warming..."

Everybody's Free (to wear sunscreen)

I posted this a long time ago on the old family blog. But no one commented on it so I am reposting it. This song just really gets me, I don't know why, but their is a lot of truth to just about everything he says in it.

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.
