Virginia Tech Orange and Maroon Effect Day

I’m a little late posting this, but it’s meaningful enough to post anytime today.
Today is the national Orange and Maroon Effect Day. So wear something Orange or Maroon today in remembrance of the 32 people that lost their lives earlier this week. I can’t even imagine how the people directly affected by this are feeling [...]

Goodbye Vonage!

Today I can hold my head high, for I am finally rid of Vonage. It started back in Jan. ‘05. I wasn’t using a landline at my apartment and I saw the need for something other then ye’ ole cell phone. I ordered the service and eagerly awaited the new equipment that was due any [...]

Goog 411 (1-800-GOOG-411)

A while back I found 1-800-FREE-411, it’s a free ad supported 411 service. I love it, but it doesn’t work with Nextel, so I was SOL until today. I ran across GOOG-411. It’s a free 411 service and you can use it from any phone, for now at least. No more 411 charges!

Polls are open

Happy weekend everyone!
It has come to my attention that one of my statistics modules may not be working as it should. You see, a couple of weeks ago I noticed that my site stats went from 30-60 hits a day to 0-2. I thought everyone had just become bored with checking in since the house [...]

Building Blocks

I stumbled across this nifty puzzle game that has consumed my lunch break and more so far today. The object is to use blocks to build the shape outlined in the Top, Front, and Right views. The hard part is trying to do it with the amount of blocks given in the problem. Fun stuff!

As if BASE jumping wasn’t extreme enough

As if BASE jumping wasn’t enough of a rush, these guys managed to take it to a completely different level. It’s not extreme anymore, it’s simply freaking NUTS!

Snow Mower on Snowmass

So last week I decided that it was indeed time to get cracking on the hunt for a lawn mower. The grass was starting to get out of hand and well, I didn’t want to say hello to our new neighbors with eight inches of grass underfoot. So we looked everywhere; online, Lowes, Home Depot, [...]

Pencil Carving

Someone took a lot of time and patience to produce this kind of work. I have come up with a new extreme sport……
Extreme Whittling! - Check It Out
I wonder how many times this person cut themselves making these things. I mean really, X-ACTO knives are freaking sharp and there’s little room for error.
Enjoy

Retro 8 Bit

Retro in the computer and gaming world is only a mere few years ago. I still remember getting my NES for Christmas back in the 80’s. I was sitting on the floor, in front of our big old tv with legs that would go on the blink until you stomped on the floor really hard, [...]
