That's awesome! I talk about trying to post 2 or more times a day, and I get ZERO in for Thursday. Nice. Real nice.

Well, here's a little something. Today was rather slow on the news front.

For those of you who actually have a job, unlike your's truly, here are some tips to call in sick with a genuine sound.

Oh, and if you understand the power of the Google Search but your friends don't, just send them a link to this site.

If you don't know how to throw a punch, well, now you do. Here are some handy tips.

Oh, and one more. Microsoft has their answer to Google's start page. It's nice, I guess. Try it out and see for yourself.

Oh, two links for my peoples with the liquor in their left hand and the beer in their right. First up is a search engine that lets you search for a recipe based on a specific alcohol. It's still in Beta form, so it might not be entirely accurate. Second is a website that tells you what cocktail is best for a specified event. You get to enter in the circumstances and it'll do the rest.

I will usually try to post 2 or more times a day, but right now I am tired and my stomach feels like it's going through a meat grinder. I'll keep it short.

Here's some basketball news. Blazers waive Derek Anderson. I guess that was expected. But they also waived Nick Van Exel. I would love to see him back in a Mavs uniform. I don't want to see him in a Rockets uniform.

If you're into hockey, then know that Mike Modano agreed to a five-year contract with the Dallas Stars. I remember rooting for them the year they won the Stanley Cup. I also remember that Pizza Hut was having a deal where you buy a pizza and then you could buy a Dallas Stars hockey stick. We bought three, but I broke one.

I hate Time Warner, even though my cable service is provided by them. Their employees are the least competent of any ISP, by far.

Adidas to merge with Reebok? Eh, I don't wear either of their shoes anyway. (AND1 or Nike for me. Oh crap! T-Macs are made by Adidas!)

Oh, and if there's any song you should check out, it's Audioslave's #1 Zero. Here is a link to the lyrics.

My favorite sports radio station is now doing podcasts. That's right, 1310AM The Ticket can be found on iTunes. Just click "Ticket Podcast" on the left. All they produce is the Daily Ticket Top Ten. If you don't know, it consists of the top ten moments of the day condensed into one hour. Usually very funny. (Oh, I just checked it out and it seems to just be the best bit of the day. Still, that's the best part.)

Oh, and this has my interest! Just another reason why Seattle is soooo attractive.

Looks like UT finally has a reason to dance around in circles while throwing money into the air.

Eh, I don't like MySpace anyway. This just gives me another reason.

Amazing. Simply amazing. I don't like kids very much, but this is just too much.

So, the NBA was "rocked" by the biggest trade ever. Big deal. There weren't any big names. Antoine Walker was the biggest name on that list, and he sucks. Pat Riley says, "He is able to handle the ball, pass it, make plays, shoot 3's and rebound the ball. There isn't anyone in this league better at doing that." Is he able to do those things? Yes. Will he do those things with consistency? No. And as far as the last sentence goes, well, Riley must have a good supplier. Especially to pay Shaq $100 million over 5 years.

Bo Bice broke his foot while doing a concert. He blames it on his change of shoes. What can I possibly say?

Oh, and this is nice! I don't carry change, so this type of how-to really benefits me!

By the way, I have tried 3 times now to upload the newest podcast, but apparently Ourmedia.org still sucks. I don't know what I'll do yet. I'll try one more time before I go to sleep but that's it. I might have to find another server. Oh, wait. It's up now. Just now. Why the hell did it take so long?

In case some of you use Skype, there's a new VoIP program out there called Gizmo. They showed it off on Attack of the Show and it led to some funny moments. It is absolutely free with no adware or spyware.

I use Ourmedia.org to host my podcasts and they absolutely suck right now. I'm going to try to upload it one more time.

Well, here's something interesting about Netflix. If you rent movies like crazy, they will slow down the whole process so you get fewer movies. They won't ship them right away, or they won't update the database when you return a video. They do this to save money and help out customers who do not rent as much. I never trusted these types of services anyway.

Ugh, this is why I hate elevators. I don't like the idea that an elevator can be "hacked" to do things it should not normally do. I don't like elevators at all. I just get a weird feeling when I step into an elevator. I think to myself, "This could be the last time I step into one of these deathtraps." I'll take the stairs most of the time.

Also, Apple released a new 2-button mouse. It even has a weird peg sticking up through the center. Could be neat, but not with the name, "Mighty Mouse."

On Systm Episode 3, Kevin Rose and his crew go over how to make a high-end A/V cable. I would definitely consider this the second best vidcast of the three. What a ranking!

Of course, in order to make these cables, you're going to need experience with solder and wire crimping. Oh, and more than $20. Hell, the solder gun alone will probably set you back $30. Most of the supplies you can find at Radioshack, but the best tools are found in specialty stores.

But anyway, for those of you interested, here is a link.

Aren't these interesting? I know some people who could really use one.

And what is up with this? Notice that the first priority is to get the tax, and the second priority is to keep kids away from pornography. "In addition to the fund,..." Money first, morals second. Isn't 25% just a little much? And don't most people just download it for free with torrents or P2P networks?

Alright, and one more. If you hate Best Buy, this site is for you. Just click 'Employee' or 'Customer' on the left and you'll get plenty of stories about incompetence gone wild at the yellow tag store. (Personally, I prefer Fry's.)

I'm going to get straight to the point.

I want to change the world. I want to have a positive impact on everyone I meet. I want to be the guy that everyone can rely on.

But it's just unrealistic right now. So screw everyone. Why should I care? I should just focus on myself and do what I want.

So from now on, I'm not going to post about myself or my day or whatever. I'm going to write about the things that interest me.

I would start a new blog and just have both going, but I know I wouldn't write in both. I would end up forgetting about the other, much like my uncensored blog, or my original moblog.

So yea, it all starts with the next post. Maybe I'll do that tonight.

Now I have a headache. And my tummy hurts. Meh.

I feel like I don't know what to do anymore. I mean, besides the obvious. Of course I'll go to class tomorrow and the day after and what not. I'm talking about things I do now. I don't know why, but I feel like I could do so much more with what's around me.

I look at this blog, and there's plenty of things to talk about. But then I don't want to keep talking about myself. And I don't want to just write about sports, or just write about technology.

I can only talk about myself so many ways. Besides, the newest podcast will give all listeners a better perspective of who I am.

Eh, screw it. I give up.
