pop vs. soda
A pop by any other name, still tastes as sweet.
What might the “other” terms be?

Blood Substitute.
Loyola University has received approval to investigate PolyHeme’s use as a blood substitute for critically injured and bleeding trauma patients at accident scenes. Blood has a very short shelf life, requires refrigeration, and matching types takes too much time too carry blood in ambulances. The blood substitute has a long shelf life and is compatible with all blood types. It’s designed to furnish oxygen which will “prevent organ damage in the brain, heart, lungs, liver and kidneys,” until a transfusion can be done at the hospital.
This shits pretty damn cool. I hope it works.

Hey
Well, the woman has some pictures from camping/geocaching this weekend, hopefully she’ll get them posted soon.

Well Damn.
Pretty busy life this past week or so. Between camping in Fundy, some super hard geocaches, and some decent biking, I didnt have time to update properlly. Well, ta-da, and update.
Jenn’s doing great with her biking, glad I could get a decent bike for her to offroad on, I’m amazed she’s ok with the trails we’ve been doing, some are pretty advanced.
Geocaching has made a good change in our lifestyles, geocaching on bike, camping, etc, great shit if you ask me.
I’ll update more later, got a meeting in 5 minutes.

Andy Kaufman Lives
Or does he?
A new blog set up a few days ago, claims to be written by Kaufman. I wonder. I think this is just about the low level he’d like, make people wonder, create a stir, and then disappear for good. We.ll have Kaufman sightings all over the place now.
If it is Andy, great idea, a full-blown media appearance would be too Hollywood; an underground idea like this is way more his style.

Stop asking!
23 emails asking where I got the cool avatar, I got it here, now stop asking. hah.
The link to email it to you, yeah, that won’t work. The orginal site it was on a few months ago went under, and with it their email app that the swf called. Oh well, suck it up and do a screen capture and use mspaint/photoshop.

And I thought I had issues.
As a five-year-old child, Dokaka hummed along with melodies on television, but one day plugged headphones into the TV, discovering that the sounds in his head matched those piping through the headphones. He quickly realized that songs consist of many parts like bass, drums, etc. Within a year, he began to record himself humming. Best part of this site? Angel of Death (Slayer); 4.5 MB .

Images
One of the down sides of having a right hand side bar, is that images which pass 600px in width, push your sidebar off the screen, and to the bottom of the page. So I removed the wide ones, I’ll post links to them in a little bit

Bike Buying – post dated
This post was set as a draft, so it didn.t get posted when Jenn got her bike, so I figured I’d update the date and let it go out fresh today
So, originally Jenn didn’t care what kind of bike she got, she’d have been happy with anything. So before picking her bike up, we shopped around so I could show her why she should care.
I planned the trip to go something like this; First stop, to show her how a bike shouldn.t be made, Toys R’ Us, then Wal-Mart, then Canadian Tire. The second step was to then go onto Bungays to buy a decent bike.
After showing her the multitude of problems and poor workmanship with crap they had at Toys R Us, we went right to Bungays. Haha, I pointed out the shitty messy weld job, bubbles in the paint, the garbage parts, and the fact that they wanted 149 for something that would break in no time.
Yeah.. Hah, seriously, a dude I know bought one of their “tech trek” bikes as a joke, he rode it for 3 weeks till one of the welded seams that held his fork to his bike came undone. Haha, yeah, to say they’re unsafe is to say Dan Breannan might like the occasional sip of the old firewater.
Bungays didn.t really have anything that fit her right though, Jenn is a little short, so we went up to Canadian Tire, their stock isn.t that bad if you.re just looking for a bike that wont fall apart on you in the first month. Luckily we managed to pick up a decent CCM that they had just marked down, due to the fact it was last years model. The cool part was, it was 1/2 off, and wasn.t mentioned in the flier yet, so we managed to get one before the general public bought them all and left us with a rain check.
So lessons learnt from this trip? Never buy a bike in a mall, unless you are inbreed, too cheap to care, or too stupid to care.
But, the first action to take incase you have bought a bike at the mall and realize what a lemon you got suckered into buying by a 16 year old “salesman”, is to NOT tell anybody, or to brag about it. It’s like saying “Hi, I’m a cheap sucker, please, take me for what I’m worth, and leave me bleeding in the street”
There is one exception to the rule though. You can buy any bike you want at the mall, if your plan is to throw it/yourself off a high cliff. That shits just funny.

Rob’s A Lazy Arse
So Rob’s too (not to, as jenn would lead you to belive) lazy to get off his behind and move the whole foot and a half to his computer to make an entry, so he wants me to do it for him. ANd he’s sitting there giving me grammar corrections, or trying to, since he just admitted that I was right about the use of “too’! HA
{ hi, this is rob, the word Jenn had used “to” is the wrong word, the word she was looking for is “too” which means, I’m right, and shes a mainlander. (aka Wrong) }
He wants me to talk about the cables he got tonight for the GPS, which, if you read my site, you knew already! www.alljenn.com. <—shameless plug! Ok, so now back to the GPS cables. We got a GPS to serial cable, and a car power adapter! With the serial adapter, Rob can link the GPS to the PC/Palm for navigation and data transfer. Speaking of data, I'd best be getting paid for this little data entry via dictation I'm doing! 😉 Now he's crabbing about my ad-libbing. The GPS now contains the coordinates for all caches within 500 miles that we haven't yet found.
Now he's blabbing about Germans. And now I must go kick his ass!

Dude, I so want one.
“The FroggyBox is a sensor-pack in a plasitc frog with a serial interface (a wireless USB adapter is available), containing a thermometer, a barometer and an hygrometer — basically everything you need to turn a PC into a weather station, especially when you add their forthcoming wireless plastic rooster, which contains an anemometer, weathercock, and heliograph.”

Metroid Cubed
You can now enjoy an old school NES game as “volumetric isometric 3d graphics using a Voxel Sculpting tool,” which means it’s 3D now, and more confusing.
In other Metroid news, a brand new speed run of Super Metroid was released a while back, 58 minutes with 100 percent completion. And unlike those “time attack” videos that have come with some controversy, this speed run was played on a SNES console and recorded the old fashion way. For more speed runs and time attacks, please see here.

How old do I look?
This is a crazy ass project ,kinda like an intellectual’s HotOrNot, that plays with our perception and societal ideals of age and beauty. I was close to right only about half the time, otherwise I was waaaay off.

Dude, so fucking gross. Never eat raw hamburger.
Warning: this is possibly the worst story ever told. Ever wanted to know what it’s like to have a beef tapeworm? (Fun fact: they’re the kind that fills your whole intestinal tract!) A storyteller on The Fray helpfully clues us in to the experience of living with, and eventually destroying, his li’l parasite buddy. Don’t read it if you don’t want to wish for death at the end. (Blessedly, there are no photographs, though there are some toon-like illustrations.)

Too bad about TechTv, I actually liked the screen savers. Why do networks always kill the popular things?
