Update: Facebook & Twitter

 I wrote a few weeks ago (here) that Facebook’s News Feed application was exactly like Twitter. Well now there’s a Facebook application called “fbtwit” that can transfer your FB feeds to Twitter so they can stay in sync. Looks like i wasn’t the only one who thought they were the same.  You can get [...]

The Biggest and Baddest Pig Ever

I just read this story where  an 11-year-old boy used a pistol to kill a wild hog his father says weighed a staggering 1,051 pounds and measured 9 feet 4, from the tip of its snout to the base of its tail.  He said he shot the huge animal eight times with a .50-caliber revolver [...]

Ridiculous Videos Vol. 4

It’s been a while since i’ve posted some ridiculous videos.  Vol 3 (HERE) were pretty good and i actually did a Vol. 3.5 post over the holidays.  Anyway, without any further delay, here’s Vol. 4.
This is what happens when you bring amateurs into sportscasting:

Required Reading Before Seeing Pirates of Caribbean 3

Maybe i was the only one completely confused by what was going on in Pirates of the Caribbean 3 because i had forgotten so much about what happened in the first or second films. Thus, i decided to put together this little crib sheet of who did what in the past movies. If you know [...]

Pirates 3 is a Pretty Good Ride

I saw the new Pirates movie last night and was somewhat skeptical going in as the 2nd installment was more bloated than the first and just ok (do we really need a ferris wheel chase in a pirate movie?). The new one, however, packs much more of a punch. This quote by one of [...]

Here, Take the Web. No, I Don’t Want Anything - it’s Free

I love this quote from Tim Berners-Lee, the man responsible for the World Wide Web. He’s a low profile genius who never profited from his invention. I often think about him when i talk to my investment banking friends, or other people who are placing monetary gain over what really makes them happy. [...]

Is Your Life Just a Vacation from Boredom?

Here’s a good quote i recently read which does point out the subtle but very important difference between happiness and pleasure. It’s good thing for me to think about as i cruise through life:

If there is no opportunity for joy. If we never find some activity that leads us into flow, or if that [...]

Kings of Leon are Pretty Good

I’ve been listening to the band Kings of Leon a lot lately.  They’re a rock band made up of 3 brothers and a cousin from Tennessee.  Their dad and grandfather are both named Leon, hence the band name.  They have 3 albums out but i’ve only gotten my hands on their latest: Because of the [...]

New GnR Single: Chinese Democracy Being Released?

As i wrote back in February, i really feel like the new Guns N’ Roses album is coming. I know people have been burned on this for the past 12 years, but i’m holding out faith.
In fact, i got my hands on the latest from Axl and it’s much better than then last single i [...]
