Look What I Got~

(Entry title shamelessly stolen from LM's blog) Michelle Creber (Voice of Apple Bloom from MLP!) recently held a Guess The Song contest on a social networking site, and I won second place!   That's right, Apple Bloom just said I rock.   Oh, and the song was "Saturday Night" by the Bay City Rollers.   Image is a little warped-looking because this is actually a photo from my cell phone, not a scanner.

In Which Avohkah Tamer Spends Too Much Money

I just bought every one of the Series 6 minifigs in one shopping trip, without a cheat sheet and without getting any doubles/extras!   I swear, they must have had like 8-10 minotaurs in that end-cap display.   No photos unless you guys really want 'em, because I'm lazy and don't feel like digging around for my camera right now. =P

Have I Ever Mentioned I'm A Geek?

I just installed Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) on my HP Touchpad tablet, while keeping the default Palm WebOS intact so I can choose which OS I want to boot when I turn it on. It's so awesome~   Examples of some stuff I can do now: Minecraft Netflix Google Earth Steam Mobile (<3) Other fun Android things So yeah, fun stuff.   Also ponies tomorrow!   ~ (A VTOAHMKEARH)

My Name Is Orange!

That's right, I'm finally a POBZPC! And it only took me 8 years, 6 months, and 18 days here on BZP to do it!   Maybe I'll actually use this blog now! =P   ~ (A VTOAHMKEARH)

Can Anypony Help?

How To Block Ads And Other Images

Lately, I've seen a good number of BZPower members complaining about some members' recent banners, and some disabling all signatures or even leaving BZP temporarily because they don't want to see them. There's no need! Since I didn't see any existing guides already, here's my tutorial on how to use Adblock Plus to block online ads and other images!   You've probably seen some members mention the Adblock Plus browser extension before, but you may not know what it is or how it works. This add-on

Pumpkins!

Why, oh why do I never blog? I mean, it's not like I'm not on BZP much, 'cause I visit every day. I really have no good reason for not blogging.   Anyways, today's Halloween! My family doesn't really celebrate it that much, besides some pumpkin carving and dressing up in a costume for fun if I want to, though we don't Trick-or-Treat.   Now, I'm no expert in pumpkin carving. I've never done the shave-part-of-the-surface-off-instead-of-cutting thing due to my only light source being those dim te

My Birthday Cake Is Not A Lie

So I turned 20 today.   I still have no idea how I got to be so old. I'm like... OLD old.   I feel compelled to tell people younger than me how back in my day, I had to walk to school barefoot, in the snow, uphill both ways; except I was homeschooled so it's not really true.   My birthday was largely uneventful, no party, no friends over; but I got a couple Hero Factory sets as gifts (Duncan Bulk, Xplode, Furno's Bike). Oh, and one of these, which my brother found in-package at a garage sale

Do What You Want 'cause An Oil Spill Is Free

Obligatory blog entry since LM ordered me to blog in many font styles.   I'll get to my catch-up-on-everything-since-I-last-blogged stuff in some future entry, but for now, I've got something to show you!   A website posted this image showing the infamous Gulf Oil Spill from space, with added contrast and false color to see the spill clearer:   Now I ask you guys, what do you think that spill kinda looks like? As you've probably guessed by this entry's title, I see a pirate. You can see his

Hooray For Excessive Complicatedness!

Hoo, boy. I guess I owe you guys an explanation for not having blogged since August.   ...   ANYWAYS, life's been good. Working full-time for my dad's been great, I gots loads of cash. Which I haven't been spending. Yeah.   So I plan to remedy that by buying myself a $900 gaming laptop with Windows 7 that came out yesterday (which is veeeeery nice, can't wait until I buy it)! I also want to buy myself an XBox 360 Elite sometime, now that they've come down in price so much.   So what else is

So, It's My Birthday!

For obvious reasons, I haven't blogged in a while. Hence, I'll have to write up another one of those huuuuuge what-I've-been-up-to blog entries to make up for it. In the meantime, though, quick list of stuff I got for my birthday (so far, but I'm not sure I'm gonna get any more): $50 from my grandmother Like 10 mini Reese's cups (my favorite candy EVAR, by the way) Sandish-green T-shirt with oooold classic Mountain Dew logo Blue T-shirt with a whole lot of reasons why being a guy is awesome (Exa

...halp Meh?

Okay, so you probably read my entry about coincidences below, right? Well, it got weirder.   Last night, I dreamed about Glatorian Legends finally coming out at my Wal-Mart, and the last part of my dream I was gawking at them on the shelf. I vividly remember all the Glatorian Legends cost exactly $12.66, except Stronius which I was planning to buy on this dream trip to the store. He cost $12.86, and I was upset in my dream about this strange 20 cents more he cost. Oh, and also, the regular Glat

Webcomics Emulating Life

This latest comic is so totally me.     I was even planning on playing my new Half-Life 2 for the first time this evening before I read this!   Y'see, a couple months ago I bought Orange Box at a crazy $10 price it was selling at for only one weekend. I haven't been able to play it due to two things: My computer's not powerful enough, and it only had 1GB hard drive space left (each game can be about 5-6GB). I knew I wouldn't regret buying it, though, and I was right. As of a few days ago I

Piles Of Guns!

I went to Brickworld for pretty much the entire day, and had a BLAST. I got TONS of BrickArms custom Lego guns, and took photos of almost everything there! It would have been EVERYTHING, but my camera's battery died after the 400 12MP photos I took... Gallery as soon as I can figure out how to batch resize 400 photos without killing my computer, and upload 400 photos at once without killing Brickshelf.   UPDATE: Here's my picture of my BrickArms collection, tagged so you know what's what! =D

Brickworld...

...is full of awesomeness. Like, seriously.   (note: linked photos are all 2,000 x 1,500 pixel approximately 200kb jpegs (half the original size, XD), they may load slow depending on your connection speed.)   It was my first Lego convention ever. I went last year because it is extremely close to me compared to other conventions. I expected it to be some small thing with some tables showing off some Bionicle inventions. I walk in the lobby to pay to go in, and there are some cool Mindstorms-pow

Up

As Dr. Seuss so well put it in one of his books, "It's a Great Day for Up!" As most of you (should) know, Disney/Pixar's latest movie Up came out just today. Has anyone here seen it yet? Even though I've already entirely made up my mind and I'm GOING to see it and I WILL like it, anyone wanna tell me how it was (spoiler-free, of course)? ~

Updates

Yeah, I'd blog way more if I had more ideas... So I guess I'll just give you some random updates of me!   --- TV shows I've been watching:   For the last several weeks, I've been borrowing the DVD box sets for MacGyver from a family I know who has every single season. It's awesome watching a classic old show for the first time. I'm almost done with season 4! Richard Dean Anderson is awesome as MacGyver and as Colonel Jack O'Neill from Stargate: SG-1. Y'know, that show really makes me want a

I Am Insane.

Completely, entirely insane. Clinically insane.   Why, you may ask?   Gaze upon my awesomeness!   Yes, that is what it appears to be. No, it is not 'shopped. Just an extremely good sale at my local Wal-Mart.   Oh, yeah, if any of you were planning to steal some, don't bother. I've got the perfect defense system activated and guarding them. Behold my Lazorcat Defense System!     EDIT: Hey, well whaddayaknow? I found another Axalara not pictured here just in the other room. Go figure! =P

Welcome To Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum...

...Known from coast-to-coast like butter and toast! From headlines to deadlines, from schoolrooms to poolrooms! No other place in the contiguous United States or other environments of the world! Welcome! Yep, that's right, I stole Laughin'Man's blog's old theme! (With permission, of course. ) So, yeah, I'm pretty much a huge Tally Hall fan. Hence my blog theme change, and my avatar and signature change. I've had plans to do this for a long time, but due to procrastination/indecision (r

This Is How Rick Astley Rolls.

Hee hee, gotta love it.   ---   On another note, I was GOING to change my blog theme recently, but someone took the idea totally exactly as I had it (name, blog image, first post intro), minus the long entry I had typed up in a Word file. They literally put up theirs within a couple hours of my plans to... >_>   Also, I've been procrastinating on thinking of a blog theme in the meantime until they change it to something else. Any ideas?   Oh yeah, I should probably get around to changi

Happy Some Year!

As I'm sure many, many, MANY people are doing, I'm posting a "HAPPY NEW YEAR" entry! ...Well, except for one thing. I'm not talking about 2009. I'm talking about a mystery year you shall NEVER KNOW. AHAHAHAHA.   Also, Laughin'Man brought to my attention a spam e-mail claiming to be from Bill Gates. I'm here to tell you it absolutely cannot be from Bill. You see, he's my buddy, and I should know, he doesn't talk like that in his e-mails! Here's a good example of one of the many e-mails he's sent

Gasp, A Blog Entry!

Wow, has it really been since the 9th that I last blogged? I need moar ideaz...   For now, at least, Laughin'Man posed a good question chatting with me the other night. Anyone care to theorize on this quite interesting point? Comment away!   ~
