I just saved a bunch of money on car insurance by switching to--
No wait, that's not right.
The Giants won the Super Bowl!!
Okay, so this is not just about their victory; it's about my victory. I'm now curse-free after eight years of picking and rooting for the wrong team to win the Super Bowl. That's right; I chose the losing team for eight miserably annoying years. Mind you, I don't usually watch football, but the Super Bowl is something else-- advertisement... but that's not importan
Holy cow! That was some awesome Super Bowl XLII I may or may not have watched at this point; I still can't believe ______ won. Oh, no one will forget that particular play-- yeah, you know the one I mean. Also, remember that point in the ____ quarter when that player did that action? And can you believe that _____ penalty called against the _____ team by that referee? It makes me so mad! What's wrong with that referee!? On the other hand, I might be overreacting just a bit.
Then, of course, ho
So I had a thought while working on bonesiii's Blog of the Week: "I have no idea what some of those emoticons are supposed to be." The only way I knew to find out was to check the properties, so that's when I had an idea. "What if I could shortcut the process?" (Okay, not exact quotes and such but bear with me.)
Then I came up with a concept: use the Acronym and Image Tags together; that way when someone rolls the mouse over the image, it tells what it is. After a bit of testing, I found this
So there's this whole big pointless phenomenon with a shortened version of the phrase "Oh, really?" Well, while playing Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, I noticed Linebeck used the phase, so I did my best to get a picture of that particular scene.
Honestly, it's not a great picture, and it's a bit hard to read, but I don't have a capture card or anything.
Anyway, I decided to expand beyond that and made these:
This one is so-so in the thought process.
Somewhat in honor of the
No wait, I think that's a typo.

I interrupt this blog entry to bring you an important message... okay, an interesting one.
Believe it or not, I was actually going to set up a joke and have a picture of red socks here, so I did an image search on Yahoo. I got several results (far more than I wanted/expected), so I tried some other colors. Same results: way too many. Finally, I put in "socks" and got 1,109,206 results; I then proceeded to Google and got 3,140,000 re
As all of you who have been paying attention know, I took last month off of writing the Blog of the Week (you know, that thing on the front page that seems to generate very little feedback). The time off actually started the week before Thanksgiving, but that was more in the way of timing than pre-planning it. Anyway, for the month of December, I decided it would be nice to allow the Blog Assistants to pick and write about their pick for each week. It really started as a half-hearted comment, bu
Remember this? There was a reason that event took place what seems like so long ago. To anyone who cares, I now have a driver's license (or as the manual would put it "driver license"); I got it last Thursday and have been using it to run various errands when I can.
Before anyone asks, never you mind why I didn't have mine sooner: numerous factors and all that. I'll just state the only one you really need to know: I possess the abilities to walk and ride a bicycle (yes, I have had to walk a b
Over the past few years, people who play video games have generally been classified into one of two groups: casual gamers or hardcore gamers. While there is no definitive answer to what fits each group, it all really comes down to investment in each video game one plays. While a casual gamer might play something quick with a little free time, a hardcore gamer is probably more likely to stick with a few games at most until everything possible within the games' rules is accomplished (or some self-
