Street View

Google maps has a street view option in ceartin parts of the states. Right now I have noticed New York, Florida, California, and Colorado. Seems like a cool feature and can't wait to have it start in Ohio. Basically if you zoom in close enough on the map, an icon of a guy will appear and you can drag and drop him to any street highlighted by the street view option and it will show you a picture of that road at eye level.

On the run

A man accused of being a possible terrorist by the FBI is putting his life online to prove that he is not a terrorist. He uploads hundreds of photos a day to his website and carries a GPS device so that everyone can see and know exactly where he is all the time. You can take a look at his site here.

Alice, Sweet Alice

I watched an old horror film last night, Alice, Sweet Alice and I would have to say it had a very good story line although it seemed like it was made in the 50's even though it was made in 1976. Now I am no movie critic but I would say it's worth the 108 minutes of your time in my opinion.

Why arent you @ work?

I came across a good article today that I myself have always wondered.... What are all these people out driving around and shopping and all kinds of other things throught out the day. Don't they have jobs? It seems as though the total amount of people not at work during the day is increasing. The article gives a fairly good explanation as to why this is. I know you wonder the same thing so read it.

Get outside with 30 inch rims

It's going to be a beautiful weekend in North East Ohio. Go outside and do something, and stop reading this. Fly a kite, or ride a bike, or play some paintball, and stop sitting in front of your computer.

Eggs, 83 year old, Fort Dix, and Paris Hilton

I came across an interesting website today. It has all sorts of interesting stuff that this guy has done. Anything from an air gutiar he made as a science project to music he has composed. Worth a look in my opinion. Click here to check it out.

Turtles

And you thought you were a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fan. I came across an article today on Splinter from the turtles, and I have to say it's pretty in depth. I was always a big fan of the show in my younger years and happened to come across it today. Well, just thought I would share that.

This reminded me of Office Space (The TPS reports)

Moved in

Got a new place in Medina now. Still in the process of getting setled in. All I need now is some internet. After busting out the cantena, I couldn't find any networks nearby (it's a very small apartment complex). There are alot of houses and a few business around though that have to have wifi. I think that calls for a little weekend project of building a stronger cantena. I think I am going through internet widthdrawl at home right now. Now on to a few things I would like for you to know....

Moving out

Moved to Medina this weekend with Miranda. Well make that this past Sunday. Woke up aout 9am and didn't get to sleep untill a little after 2am. It was a long and tedious day of moving. Nothing else to say right now, I'm tired...

Just visit delicious or something...

Do you RSS?

I am a huge fan of RSS. If you are not using it, you obviously don't know how to find the information you want on the web quickly and effectively. I prefer Google Reader because it's web based, their is no software to install, it's easy to navigate, and if you already use G-mail or another Google utility/application then you already have it. This page would be a good place to get started on how to use RSS. It's a video that explains it as simple as possible and also gives you a sort of visual representation of how it works. Below is a screen shot of my Google Reader on a feed from CNN's website. Also, on the right side of this blog are the items in my RSS that I share and have fed to this blog, so with the reader you can always mark it as a favorite and/or share it and can always come back to the story, just like a bookmark/favorite in your web browser.

A beautiful weekend

Friday I had the day off and it turned out to be a beautiful weekend out here. I picked Kylar up early in the afternoon with Miranda on Friday but not before stopping at DQ for a few French Vanilla Moo-Lates. (They are delicious might I add) Saturday we went out to Edgewater park and Kylar played on the beach and walked around in the water. Took some pictures and I will try and get those up on his site soon. Sunday had to be the nicest day this year (weather wise) and we went out to the Hinkley metro park for a walk. After that, headed out to Lodi park and we ended up running into our friends Ben and Krista. Chilled with them for a bit and headed back to relax and finish the day out.

Warranty woes

I was listening to the radio this morning (99.5 wgar) and they were talking about extended warranty's and how they can end up not helping you out. An example would be you buy a refrigerator from Best Buy and you pay for the extended warranty. Lets say it decides to break on you (inside of the extended warranty) and you call up the number they give you on your warranty, which they then refer you to a company that is close in your area to repair the fridge. You call the company and tell them your fridge is broke and you have the extended warranty plan. That instantly tells them they are going to take their good ol' time to come out and probably won't be out to fix it for a few weeks to even a month. The reason being, is because with those warranty's they have to fill out paper work and send it out to collect their money which can take a while. Where as if you don't mention anything about a warranty (or you don't have one), they will probably be there the next day or so because they know they are getting paid right away, whether it be cash, check, credit, etc... So the moral of the story is don't mention anything about a warranty until the very end of your call, AFTER the appointment has been made to repair it. While I have not experienced this myself, just a few words I thought I might pass on to help a warranty buyer out. If anyone has experienced this type of issue before, please feel free to comment.

Darsh

It's been a very busy day at work today. I'm still recovering from a slight cold that I have had for the past few days. Just a runny nose, but it seems to be getting better. This past Friday was when it started and I didn't feel good at all, body ache, headache, runny nose/congestion. For some reason this week has just been dragging by and I am ready for the weekend to come.

Case of the Monday's

This past weekend was pretty good besides my car deciding to want to cost a pretty penny to fix the right rear wheel and hub bearings, control arm and tail arm. Looking for a new place to move here soon. By the end of the month actually. Enough of my ranting, have a look below...
