Too bad it tastes so bad... 2007-03-04 21:59:00 Damnit, now I have to start drinking low-fat milk.Because no one wants a pregnant Nicole. That would be terrible.
Sure to Come to America Soon 2007-03-06 17:24:00 Big news for underage smokers: You won't be able to buy cigarettes on the streets anymore. A new system, called "Taspo" (Tabacco Passport), goes into effect in 2008, requiring every smoker to carry around an RFID card issued only to people 18 and over if they want to make a cigarette vending machine purchase. Cards will be issued for free (plus whatever amount of money you put on it), but purchase will require a photo ID and other identification documents.Currently, 65% of the 30 million smokers in Japan purchase their cigarettes through vending machines, so this is a big step in the Tobacco Institute of Japan's initiative to raise awareness on the dangers of smoking. ...via TokyoMango Read more:America

Coming of Christ." He acknowledges that "it bothers a lot of people" that he calls himself Jesus.If he has many followers why is it just now there's a news story? Where hs his press been all along? Read more:Second Coming

Maybe next year Stop & Shop can but A&P. Or better yet, Trader Joe's can buy them all. Read more:Empire

Frank Gehry, Jean Nouvel, Tadao Ando and Zaha Hadid showcase their designs for new museums and cultural buildings being created in Abu Dhabi, Uniter Arab Emirates. Not to mention the "Gateway" complex being built in the new capital of Ras Al-Khaimah by Norwegian designers Snøhetta as shown below....via Dezeen Read more:Howard
New browser day one 2007-03-08 17:20:00 So I've switched over from Safari to Flock. Not sure how much I prefer it yet. Most everything seems to be about the same. Nice, clean design. Some of the 'social networking' aspects are actually pretty nifty. Now I can just drag and drop photos from my desktop to my Flickr without going through the uploader process. Blogger now has the standard option everyone that is Windows based has been using all this time, such as the composer window or the insert link option. Safari has only the ability to add a photo and to spell check. Everything else is all html based.But I am not happy that it seems I have lost my alt+pg dn ability to scroll down a page. Now it goes line by line instead of by page. I will need to find the new shortcut buttons for that b/c otherwise I might go mad. One button mouse control doesn't alolow for easy scrolling otherwise. I'll give this a try for a while. With all the hassles Firefox has with a Mac this might be the best alternative to Safari out there. Read more:browser
I'd buy the Insight first without even thinking twice 2007-03-08 07:06:00 Welcome to Toyota's new eye-bleach atrocity of a hybrid. The Hybrid X shows just how Toyota is now obsessed with making product over design, fooling only a small percentage of the populace into buying such. Terribly ugly. Bad. I drive a Retardo-Car and it is infinitely prettier, even with it's squatty little butt. As I have a subsidiary car of Toyota, I am disappointed with this development. Read more:Insight

Secind holiday of the day 2007-03-10 17:19:00 World Kidney DayAs the Fark submitter says, "Today is World Kidney Day. If you didn't wake up groggy in a bathtub full of ice, well, you didn't get with the program"And the way I look at it, if there's no Candy Mountain than there just is no point. Maybe I'm just a non-believer. Shuuuuuuuunnn.

Opening night of 300 2007-03-10 08:45:00 It lived up to expectations. Not the greatest movie in the world, but fulfilling. And even as someone who really normally dislikes lots of muscle, the guys looked good. They fit the part. And the audience clapped at one point. When you see it, you'll know where, even if no one claps.Everything looked good, if sometimes grainy. I know it was the style Miller and Snyder were trying to attain but sometimes I felt I was in a throwback to some sort of low-budget 60's film, or like I was watching the Rudolph Maté original The 300 Spartans. Not that I've seen it, but perhaps they patched in pieces to go for a form of homage. :)Defintely worth a watch.And on a side note, while good to see friends, I really hate Mesquite. Bria, bring James and Josh and whoever else closer to me. Move to Plano. Because driving 40 minutes back home alone to an empty place is rather disappointing. Or work later schedules so you want to stay out later. Keep it in mind.
Back to the beginning 2007-03-12 01:29:00 Flock is gone. Only lasted a few days. Too long of load times, windows didn't cascade. Over all, really kind of annoying. And never found the key shortcut to scroll down by page. That was the killer. Back to Safari. Not everything looks correct, but nothing is overall wrong.Sometimes change is bad.
Results of being both shy and tactless 2007-03-12 00:01:00 Become more comfy in social situationsAlways look for the positive qualities in a person. Getting people to like you is merely the other side of liking them.Don't have a big ego. If you give the impression that you know it all, that you are superior, you make it hard for people to like you. Be normally humble.Give strength to people, support them. Help them to be stronger and they will give you affection.So, right from the beginning I'm screwed. Positive qualities? I tend to look more for what people are capable or incapable of. Be humble? This one really sets it that I will be uncomfortable in social atmospherers for pretty much ever. Humility is rarely a friend, as I much prefer to acknowledge my awesomeness. And, in turn, I expect others to as well. Strength I can do. If you can live through me, thsn you can live through anything.

Stupid Apple Products 2007-03-13 07:56:00 So iTunes deleted my bloody library. I didn't upgrade my version, I did absolutely nothing but leave my laptop on all day converting a few files from one form to another while I went to work, a rather customary process. So now I need to reload all 40 gig, as well as remake all the folders and resort. And yes, I was told to make a backup but I didn't want to take up the space. So, essentially the glitch is not my faule but the lack of forethought is. Damn damn damn. I really like myh iTunes to be organized. for bacnds I have full discography, I have separate folders for each album, let alone each band. Nothing like starting a time consuming process over again. And playlists that were perfectly planned out for each mood and thought process. Just...gone. This is not the sort of fresh start I like. Read more:Stupid

Time to Move 2007-03-12 16:21:00 One house in China left 40 ft up on a concrete island after builders purchased all the land surrounding. How does one get from there to anywhere else? And why does the house look like a warehouse?And it really bothers me that there is 40 ft of solid concrete under the house. Why not just building lower to begin with?
