I have been meaning to post this for a while. I shot this over a month ago while I was in the city for work. I took it with the iPhone and I must say, I am still impressed with the image quality that the iPhone can take!

So, I was standing on a street corner waiting to go into a call when I say this grown man ride up on a GIRLS bike.  I just could not belive it that this guy would be caught riding that thing.  Maybe he is some sort of hippster, I don’t know.

I could not pull the iPhone out quick enough the grab this shot!  Make sure to capture this guy in all his glory by clicking the image to see the full size!

You are witnessing the marriage of two of my favorite things once again, Apple and Lego’s.  This photo is from an event the the Texas LUG was invited to “present” at.  The image comes from the wonderful world of Flickr.

I ask you, how did the legomites live with out an Apple store befor this????

Talk about the luck of the Irish, even though I am not Irish!  I just heard that the 23″ Ciema Display from Apple has gone EOL (End of Life).  It is a good thing I picked mine up about 4 months ago with the Mac Pro!

You can still get one from teh Refurb Shop on Apple.com.  I am guessing that the new 24″ monitor is taking it’s place.  But it is going to be interesting to see how apple with deal with the new display port to goto DVI as that is what the Mac Pro uses!

On this day of our national voting day and our “God Given” right, have you made it to your polling place?  This is so important that it can not be summerized in just one post and under 500 words so I won’t even try.  Just know that things are not working right now.  Can we as American’s afford 4 more years of the same?

I didn’t think so.

So regardless of your party offiliation or membership, get out there and exersise your right and show the world what makes the United States a wonderful place.

I use to LOVE SNL’s Weekend Update when I use to watch SNL.  Well, during the debates for the 2008 election, SNL did a prime time Weekend Update after the office.  The last one had a sketch about the CNN magic Wall.  Pictured up is Fred having WAY to much fun with the map.  I can’t wait to CNN DC to get the magic map back in DC to have this much fun.  Check out the full sketch below…

So I have XM radio in my VW.  I actually had a chance at the dealership when I bought the VW to get either sirius or XM staellite radio.  Well, for some reason I went with XM.  At that point when I bought the car, I really didn’t care which one was going in to it.  I was originally planning on never PAYING for radio.  Well two years went by and I was curious on our way up to Upstate NY.  So while in the car we signed up for a year of XM radio.  And I have to say, I LOVE IT.

BUT>>>>> WTF, I thought that there were no commercials on satellite radio?!??  Well, my favorite channel is 150, XM Comedy, it is the uncensored comedy channel.  Mainly it is stand up and ANYTHING goes.  But there are ALWAYS commercials!  Did I miss something??  It’s really no that big of a deal, but they are all mae enhancement drugs, sexual pleasure and so forth commercials, what the hell?????

One of the commercials I have been hearing lately is that Howard Stern is no on XM radio as well as the NFL.  But those are Sirius satellite programs?!??  Did XM and Sriuis combine or something?!  Don’t get me wrong, it is really nice, but what is going on?

I found this over at engadet.com.  It is truely a random photo.  While the source of the photo is unclear, it is pretty interesting.  Does someone really have the time to “build” these things our of meat products?

Pictured is a wallet, a set of keys,  cell phone and of course the ever useful USB jump drive.  While I am not certain what meat products were used for each “gadget”, I can some what guess.

The USB jump drive has to be made out of chunks of Ham.

The Wallter looks like is rare roast beef with either ham of turkey ticking.

The keys look like a mixture of turkey, ham and maybe roast beef.

The cell photo has got me perplexed.  It looks like chicken with it’s skin still on?!?

Outside of my old acting professor college’s door hung a sign saying the following…

I do theatre, NOT DRAMA

This made me think of something I heard someone say about Obama…

No Drama Obama

Fucking Awesome, Thanks Ginger cat!

As most people know now, I turned 30 this year. I have moved past my 20’s and on into adulthood. I guess this means that I now have to grow up.  Maybe I should have a peter pan complex and spice things up!

For my 30th birthday, Renee got me tickets to see Kathty Griffin at DAR Constitution Hall last night.  I was all kinds of excited.  I must admit, I do love her Bravo reality show, My Life on the D List. I must also admit that before this show and for years prior,I was not a huge fan.  I was always basing her off of her performance on Seinfeld.  Not great, but funny and a little annoying.  But now I am a huge fan!

I downloaded a copy of her most recent CD, For Your Consideration, a spoof to get nominated for a Grammy Award to go along with her first Emmy award.  I thought that last night show would be that bit, For Your Consideration, but it wasn’t!  Of course she started in on politics and the debate since it was happening at the same time as her show.  Then she moved into her winning her second Emmy just a week or so ago.  She did throw a couple of things in from the CD, but still FUCKING HILARIOUS!!!

One of the things she mentioned during her show was her experience doing the Emmey’s awards with Don Rickles.  So of course, as soon as we got home, I YouTube it have have posted the video below! Over all, AWESOME show and I really loved it, what a great present, thanks Renee!

One of my co-workers walked in this morning and asked me if I had heard about Letterman and how he laid into McCain last night. Of course I did not, so off to YouTube I went.

The story is that McCain canceled Letterman at the last minute.  McCain had to run back to Washington to help save the economy.  At first Letterman was understanding of it, but had some other ideas of why McCain did that.  Later in the show, Letterman learns that McCain is still in NYC doing Katie Curics CBS Nightly News Show while Letterman was taping.  So the goes Letterman ripping into McCain in the best way.

The YouTube video is only 9 minutes long and worth the watch!
