Huh?

21.1 Megapixel 5D Mark II by Canon

I noticed a link under the Anandtech tab on bgwillers about a 21.1 mp camera from Canon. The first thought was…

What the hell do you need a 21.1 mp camera for?

Then I read on and it said something about being able to record in HD. The second thought was…

I thought this was a camera, not a camcorder! Why do you need to record in HD on the same camera you’re getting 21.1 mp with? Wouldn’t that just eat up your memory?

Oh well, I guess I’m just weird like that. It would be cool to have, but wouldn’t know what to use it on in Kansas. Plus, I never got to the price, which I probably wouldn’t want to know in the first place. I know that 7.1 mp cameras are going for $100 or so at walmart. So, that gives you a little idea of what it MIGHT be.

Isn’t that the same thing?

At my work, we get tons of email about people wanting to sell stuff, or give away animals. Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s cool to give away a pet for free to be in a better home. But I got this email today, and I could’ve sworn these were the same thing.

Puppy looking for a home- FREE!  Half Retriever, half Lab.  Her name is Maddie and she’s about 8 months old.  She already knows how to sit and has a very good temperament.

I thought a retriever WAS a lab! Hint: Labrador Retriever

It’s that same &(%@#!

I posted awhile back about an ad displayed on MSN messenger titled “See More Singles” which showed a couple that didn’t appear to be very single.  Well that same chica is back in a new ad!  But “her man” is nowhere to be found.  Maybe he’s the guy she’s supposed to be chatting with on her little laptop?

She may be single...but she sure isnt monogamous.

Who designs these things?

Well, I had a Wal-Mart gift card I had to use, so I walked all over the store, and couldn’t find a single thing I actually wanted.  Ended up just using the card to buy some groceries!  Ha ha.  I guess that’s a good sign, I already have a lot of stuff I want.

But with the money I saved on groceries, I decided I could pick up this cool little multi-tool.

I ordered it from rockynational.com and would recommend ordering from them to anyone else.  I placed my order on Thursday, and it arrived in the mail on Saturday!  That’s speedy service.  The quality of the tool is as good as somthing the size of a couple nail trimmers can be.  I wouldn’t go to town on a rusty old bolt with this, but it should come in handy in those situations where you wish you had a knife or a simple pair of plier.

But some of the features of this thing leave me puzzled.  Who had the checklist for this thing?  Granted, many of the tools are sure to come in quite handy.  The knife, the screwdrivers, the bottle opener.  But what kind of guy that’s looking for a nice all purpose tool, is going to be gung ho about the NAIL FILE and the TWEEZERS?   Okay, I’ll give the tweezers a pass, as this could come in handy for the outdoorsman who happens to get a splinter.  But a nail file?  Really.  “OH YAY.  My utlity tool and manacure set finally arrived!” Such a waste of a slot on my multi-tool.

WiiWare brings you…Beer Pong?

It’s true.  You’ll soon be able to play Beer Pong on your Wii.  Just incase you don’t have access to ping pong balls…or beer.  It’s all the fun of REAL Beer Pong without all the pesky drinking.

Quote of the day:

OK Here it is. Take a peice of buttered toast and a cat. Put toast on cat’s back butter side up. When you drop the cat the 2 forces will cancel each other out. The buttered side will try to land down but the cat will try to land feet first.  The cat and toast will float in mid air.

Wow, I slept like crap…

I dunno what it was, but I slept terrible last night. I usually wake up several times through out the night. 3 or 4 on average probably. But I just toss and turn a little bit, maybe make a trip to the bathroom. But then it’s back to sleep. Last night, I honestly don’t think I got more than 30 minutes of sleep at a time. I had several weird dreams, about beans & bbq sauce, helping my friend Chris get his old 82 Chevy started (ended up being a problem with the mirrors..wtf?), the grim reaper being a cat, and all my old high school classmates getting together. Seriously I saw old classmates in my dreams last night that I had completely forgotten about.

I woke up exhausted. Not rested at all. It felt like I’d just pulled an all nighter and caught a 20 minute nap before I woke up. I feel like crap. I hope tomorrow night I can hit the reset button and get back to normal. Maybe I should call in sick to work today. Although going to work is just about as easy as sittin’ at home all day. Meh. I’ll go I guess.

What a crap hole!?

Okay.  I always knew Ogden wasn’t the classiest place.  I mean my neighborhood is far from picturesque.  But I was driving around the town today trying to find a car that Mom is interested in and WOW.  There’s some places that are…uh…decayed. Yeah, we’ll use that word.  It’s nicer.

Trailer parks with cars parked in the driveways that looked like they’d been lit on fire.  Angry dogs running loose in the streets.  Houses that looked like they hadn’t had a thing done to them since the day they were built.  Just scary looking neighborhoods.  Lots of “No Tresspassing” signs tied to the flimsy chain link fence in the front yards.  Even one sign that said, “Forget the dog, BEWARE OF OWNER.”  Ha ha.

I guess I never really drove around the town and paid attention.  Suppose I just tried to tune it out.  But MAN!  I don’t have real high standards, but talk about some perspective.  Glad I’m moving come the end of June.
