I’ve been reading a lot about the Large Hadron Collider recently and it’s been extremely fascinating. I was concerned watching this video when I saw the control panel and these 4 options for operating the Large Hadron Collider:
If I were an operator, I’d “kill” the Large Hadron Collider if lights were flashing and alarms were going off. So it makes sense to have a “kill” option, you know, just in case sh*t is hitting the fan. But an option to “ignore error”?
As you may know, my car’s license plate is “Purplest”. That’s because it is the purplest. The color is a deep purple called “phantom purple”. My car has a purple license plate light, a purple dome light, even purple lights under the dashboard.
Of course, none of these purply details are visible from the outside. Any ordinary gray clothed bystander wouldn’t notice the purple painted engine or the custom themed purple GPS system.
I was offended recently when I received this parking ticket. Only 2 explanations are possible:
As I’m sure you know by now, I love bacon. I also like vodka. That’s why I was excited to see bacon flavored vodka!
Thanks to Brian R. for sending me this link. I would like to add that I don’t go out of my way searching for bacon flavored items. All of these bacon themed things are usually passed on to me by my friends and family. I’m not sure what started this bacon craze but I certainly can’t complain. Well I guess I can complain about those horrible bacon mints I received, those were just plain wrong.
Now I just need to find a place I can buy some of this delicious vodka.
Here’s a song/video on Youtube that was passed along to me. I liked it so much, I had to share. I’ll be playing this one on Saint Patrick’s Day for sure…
Many New Englanders will indeed have an added interest in Super Bowl XLII Sunday between the Patriots and the Giants. They’ll be rooting for their ‘’boxes.'’
In the most common variation of the pool, each box holder is assigned a number between 0-9 for each team. If the number in the box matches the last digit in the score at the end of each quarter, that box holder wins. Here’s how the first 40 Super Bowls have paid out:
Adonomics.com allows Facebook Developers to monitor their applications. They even valuate the app with a monetary value. Currently my Profile Module application is worth a grand total of $30. Considering how much time I’ve spent developing this app, I’m hoping the valuation better go up.
Here are some nice updating graphs that Adonomics provides. Feel free to monitor them with me. I’ll be checking them every hour day.
In the Journal News this Sunday, I was displayed in a picture on the front page of the business section.
Woohoo!
I had no idea that I was going to have a picture taken of me that day. I may have worn something else like my favorite Hawaiian shirt. Luckily I happened to get a haircut at lunch that day because my hair had gotten quite long.
They also took pictures of us playing Guitar Hero in the fun room but they decided not to print those. Too bad because Cindy and I totally rocked out.
