Posts that don't belong anywhere else

Just wanted to post here while I fight sleep before going back to work tomorrow. Been off for 11 days and have to go back tomorrow. Love vacation, but damn, that first day back, sucks. Hope everyone had a good Memorial Day weekend. We ended up grilling some good burgers, and I actually played some games. My grass is about three feet tall, and I have to deal with that tomorrow. However, it was worth procrastinating.

Hi everyone, Just checkin in. I have been having a rough time lately. I am trying to get off some of my meds (morphine to be exact), and its kicking my ***. I am having some severe withdrawal from it. I got down to 2 a day instead of 9, and it got to be too much and finally talked to my doc. He put me back up to 3 a day for now. Then we will make the steps down another way. Needless to say, I am not very socialable right now! I'm doing good to keep it together for my family. Sadly, speaking about family... my sis just had a biopsy to check on her progress after her bone marrow transplant. It wasn't good. The luekemia is still there and growing rapidly. We thought when she…

Y'all need to stop having social lives and entertain me on the weekends. I live vicariously through you. Seriously, though, this weekend was balls. It's not even 9 PM right now, and I'm seriously considering going to sleep. There's just nothing to do and no one to talk to. I was so bored, I went over each map in Borderlands 2 to get two achievements I was missing. Ended up clearing out 3 of them.

It's been a while since I posted a WTF link, but this one is just toooooo strange and cringe-worthy. Yes, I'm going to mask the link with tinyurl because the link title would give it away and I want you to cringe yourself. (Not sure if safe for work considering the content, but it's not super graphic or pictures or contain any boobage). http://tinyurl.com/cwe9w7d YIKES!!!!!!

So last Friday, my boss was out of town and Jason and I got a new house. It happened last minute and we had to go sign everything. So I had to leave work and the only person there was the last guy that we hired last year and I told him I wasn't sure if I'd be back, but if not have a good weekend. Anyway, totally forgot I left early and handed in my time card thing last night with my usual forty hours. So I'm late this morning because I locked myself out of the house and I called my boss on my way to work to let him know what happened and when I'd be there. I get here and he's in a bad mood. I'm like oh great. So he called me back into his office and to shorten this…

The project, known as MetaPhone, works like this: The researchers are asking willing participants to install an app on their Android phones that will transmit basic metadata from their telephone. The researchers will try to deduce as much information as possible from that data, presumably in the same fashion as the NSA. In order to find out whether their deductions are accurate, the team is also asking participants to provide basic information from their Facebook pages. “Our hypothesis is that phone metadata is packed with meaning,” Mayer said.

Game designers need to get away from this bullcrap checkpoint system, where you get checkpoints that you restart to when you die, but only get a save point after some completely freaking arbitrary length of time, if you get to a certain area. It happened to me in Bioshock Infinite, and now again in Dead Space 3. Maybe I'm trying to go to sleep and don't have another 30 minutes to play to hope that I get that little "game saving" message in the corner to pop up seemingly at random. I don't see any real reason for not letting the checkpoints just be the save points. And in case of trouble there could be a "recover to last major save point" type option, if it's a matter …

Save Kittens Today!Everyone knows that when you self gratify god kills a kitten. Now resisting the urge has never been easier

Holy crap dude, you're SEVENTY ONE YEARS OLD today and you could STILL kick all of our collective arses.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

It’s always a bit of a shocking event when the lion and the lamb go quietly walking around together like they’re meant to be together. Which is why it’s a bit of a head scratcher to hear that Mozilla — the company that once ticked off the advertising industry by announcing plans to test a patch to block third party cookies by default — will now be displaying ads right from inside its browser. Last year a top lobbyist from the Interactive Advertising Bureau called Mozilla’s default block on third-party ads a “nuclear strike” on the industry,AdAge points out, but the two groups are certainly a bit friendlier now: Mozilla says in a blog post today that it’ll start selling …

No one had any interesting pranks pulled on them today, or notice any particularly entertaining ones online? My whole crew at work today had me convinced there was a manager conspiracy to get me fired. Really had me going for a bit, forgot what day it was. Plus a lot of our managers are jerks anyway so it wouldn't have surprised me.

Well, went to San Diego and met up with my mother. TC is right...it's a really beautiful city. We ended up getting the Presidential Suite in the hotel we stayed at. Neither my mother or I were expecting that. Unbelievably, I ended up tripping my first day and landed weird and tore my right bicep tendon though. Can you effing believe it? Some of you may recall that I tore my left tendon around September of last year. I'm beginning to worry that I have some kind of degenerative disease affecting my tendons or something. The tear hasn't been confirmed yet. I'm seeing the doctor tomorrow, but it sure looks and feels like the tear in my left bicep did. Anyway, enough of that.…

So I got some awesome news in the mail yesterday!!! I've finished paying off another student loan!! WOO HOO!! (you can skip this part) Okay here's a small back story .. Since I'm Canadian and wanted to go to school in the USA (New Jersey) my loan was split up over 3 different places. One was Royal Bank of Canada (RBC for my Canadian brethren), the other two were from the province of British Columbia, and one from the federal government. So I had 3 loan payments to make a month. It got kinda messy when I moved to the USA 7 or 8 years ago because we (me and the loan offices) had to figure out a way for me to make payments and have them accept it. Companies or government ar…

The Giants and the Jets won the Superbowl sweepstakes! It will be held in the new stadium that both teams built. The big news here besides them getting it, is that a city with cold and rainy weather and no dome got one. It's been awhile since that has happened. I hope it snows hard! I like football in the snow. http://sports.espn.go.com/new-york/nfl/news/story?id=5219486&campaign=rss&source=ESPNHeadlines
