So last night I picked up an iPhone. The problem here is that I couldn’t port my contacts from the Sprint SIM to the AT&T AIM, so I have no contacts in my phone right now.
So how can you help? Well, if you currently have my number, then getting in contact with me so I have your number again would be very helpful. There are a few options:
1) Send me a text message.
2) Send me an E-Mail, IM, or Facebook Message.
Required:
Your Name
Your Number
Optional:
E-Mail Address
Birthday
A Personal Greeting

Found a fun link today to a company that makes huge industrial-sized shredders. They’ve also decided to make videos depicting that their shredders will shred just about anything. Given that I’ve just changed the banner photo to a bowling picture, I think this video is relevant.
If I ever have any industrial shredder needs, these guys will be first on my list.
So my friend Jerricka sent me a link to this site on the day after New Year’s. It’s called Project 365, and the idea is that you take a picture a day for an entire year. So far, it’s January 27th, and I’ve been going strong to make sure that I get my picture a day.
I’ve set up a seperate site which was designed to maximize your picture viewing experience.
Just a point that may only be interesting to me. I live in an apartment building, so I’m guessing the vents that I have are connected to other apartments. Every now and again I get interesting smells from my bathroom vent.
The other day it smelled like bacon. Tonight it smells like beef stew. I’m guessing that my bathroom vent is connected to someone’s kitchen. Either that, or my neighbor likes cooking in their shower.
I know I’ve been a slacker about posting, but I’ve finally had a chance to get my desktop up and running again. There was a incident involving the registry (read: I killed the power to it when it was doing a Windows Update), but everything is honky-dory now. I’m working on a photo project called “365” where you take a picture a day.
I’ve been good about taking my daily picture, but I’m currently in the process of putting together another WordPress site with a custom theme to showcase the photos.
For my birthday, my fabulous lady made breakfast sandwiches. Here’s a picture.
ohhh, bacon!
I celebrated my birthday in style in Las Vegas. And by “In Style” I mean that we watched the countdown on TV and threw a bunch of confetti on everyone, including Kristine’s dog, who by the way bids you good tiddings in 2009.
I’m introducing yet another serving of awesome on my site called “This May Only Be Interesting To I”, or TMOBITI for short. Yes, it’s not grammatically correct, but TMOBITI is much better than TMOBITM (“This May Only Be Interesting To Me”). Maybe I’ll come up with a snazzy logo soon.
Now, for your first ever TMOBITI:
As you may or may not know, there is a new football stadium being built in the Meadowlands complex which is to replace Giants Stadium.
Since the Jets have always had a minority complex about playing in a stadium that was built for the other team, measures are being taken which will make both teams seem like their new stadium is home. This also is extended so that if they really want to, other teams that play here at home (For example, if Vince McMahon ever brings back the XFL).
The outside of the stadium will be aluminum louvers, and there will be interior lighting which can be switched depending on whether the Giants or Jets are the home team. The design was inspired by a soccer stadium in Germany which has two home teams and the stadium lighting changes colors to red for Bayern Munich and blue for 1860 Munich.
Here’s a picture which shows the two colors.
I haven’t found any images yet which show the stadium with the new lighting scheme, so I’ve put together some (badly) photoshopped pictures on what I think it should look like.
Meadowlands Stadium
New York Giants Home
New York Jets Home
No word on if they’re going to add other colors besides blue and green, but you’ve got to think that if they add a red in there, then the color possibilities go through the roof.
I’m currently watching Game 3 of the World Series of the Phillies vs. the Rays, and they keep touting this stat of “100 season of futility” referring to the fact that in 25 years, the four Philadelphia sports teams (Eagles, Flyers, 76ers, and Phillies) have not won a national championship since the 76ers did it in 1983. I’ve put together a chart which lists, side by side, each of the teams’ records along with a color code for how far they advanced in the playoffs if they made it in that year.
If you’re counting the 2004 NHL lockout year as a “season of futility”, then indeed we are at 100. If you don’t, well, you’ve got 99 problem and the NHL lockout ain’t one.
*Pause for groan over the Jay-Z lyrics reference.*
The years refer to when the championship for that game was played. So, the 2005 Eagles stat refers to the 2004 regular season and Super Bowl XXXIX, where they lost to the New England Patriots 24-21.
Also, did you know that there was such a thing as five-pin bowling? Neither did I. It’s apparently popular in Canada. You have five pins set up in a V-shape (Think “Flying V” from Mighty Ducks). Different pins are worth different points. For example, if you knock out the head pin, it’s worth five points. Sometimes, you knock out just the head pin which leaves a split, and you’ve created a “five-hole”. Sound familiar? Legend says that the term “five-hole” then spread to hockey, which describes the area between a goaltender’s legs.
My roommate and I are currently (and ever so slowly) working on a fun web project involving food. At the current rate of progress, look for it to go live somewhere in the 22nd century.
However, Sunday was an extravaganza of awesome in my kitchen. I’ll be documenting most of it when our new website goes live, but here’s a sneak peak.
There was one thing that came out of our cooking yesterday which was the definition of mind-blowing amazingness, and that was baconated chocolate. That’s right, bacon topped with chocolate. And sprinkles.
