Hmm. Apparently, I did post on LibWowArmory, but when I looked at my blog page the other day, it never got published. WTF?

Total Bollocks - Censored!
Posted: 4:02:00 PM 0 comments
Yes, amazing as it sounds, the censored version of RedHeat's Total Bollocks video has been removed from YouTube. Why? Apparently some chap from Viacom found it and claimed it violated copyright.

Huh?

I don't know, maybe they got it confused with "Red Heat", the movie. Doesn't matter, though, because it's not going anywhere here!

Ah, turkey. It's sleep-wielding powers are beyond that of mortal men, yet it's alluring taste is too compelling to pass up. If you haven't yet today, get yourself some turkey.

I'm going to get myself some sleep.

Serious sites, or Loony links?

I almost thought about awarding a dumbass award to this guy, but I found these sites, run by the same guy, far more humorous than stupid.

Making a "pt"
Posted: 11:22:00 AM 0 comments
Wandering through Yahoo!'s news today, I found an interesting article on a push for simpler spelling. The point that the author, Darlene Superville, was trying to get across was obviously lost on her.

  • wuudn't - wouldn't

  • faeluer - failure

  • evrydae - everyday

  • uennyon - union

  • enywun - anyone

  • pashunet - passionate

  • milyonz - millions


SIMPLER spelling? Right.

Now playing: Trans-Siberian Orchestra - What is Christmas (2:50)

"And there is one more thing that I have discovered
That I would now like you to know
The reason for Christmas I now realize
Is an excuse to tolerate snow!

Snow... I don't even like the SOUND of it!"

-Trans-Siberian Orchestra, "What Is Christmas"

I'm glad they cleared that up for me. :)

When did my typing get so bad?
Posted: 5:37:00 PM 0 comments
One thing I have been struggling with over the past five years or so is my accuracy when it comes to typing. I mean really, when did it get so bad?

In late 2000, the date of my last official typing test, I timed at 81 WPM with no errors. Granted, I'm much faster today, going anywhere between 100 and 120 WPM, but the errors have just gotten huge.

All it takes is going through the blog to find out how bad it's gotten. "definiately" instead of "definitely", "now" instead of "no", "cat" instead of "cat 5". It's to the point I don't trust my own typing anymore, and double check everything... which still isn't enough.

I can't imagine my typing going much faster, and I'm really comfortable with where I'm at now. But typos just annoy me. They make things read like they were written by someone a third of my age. There's not too much I can do to improve other than slow down, but I'm typically a very impatient person when it comes to the computer. My time is worth more than the mistakes I make, I suppose. I just hope those mistakes don't get to the point where I need to slow down.

Phone Features Poll
Posted: 6:49:00 AM 1 comments
Now playing: Sagal - The Tragidy of Love (7:02)

Found a poll on neowin.net that asked what features would you use most on a phone. Answers ranged from MP3 Player, to Radio, to Internet, even Chat and Text Messaging.

The number one response, of course, was "Phoning!", proving that not all hope is lost in the realm of common sense.
