Time well spent in Idaho

http://www3.state.id.us/oasis/HCR029.html

I ran across this link from a well known local web site (that I will not mention for fear of retribution from family and friends). It appears the legislaters of Idaho have opted to include a bill to commemorate Jared Hess and the making of Napoleon Dynamite.

Create your own ‘Veeper’

Gracias to a friend of mine at work for this splended resource. In a nutshell, it generates self-animated, computer automated ‘virtual people’. It appears the American Honda Corporate is using the Veepers technologies offered by Plus 3D to promote its Latino web site. I’ve already spent far too much time playing with this to even start to elaborate on the possibilities. Perhaps those of you visiting can come up with more exciting ‘veepers’.

Enjoy!!!

Another ‘you know your living in…’, this time, 2005

You know you’re living in 2005 when…

1 – you accidentally enter your password on a microwave

2 – you haven’t played solitaire with real cards in years

3 – thE reaL reason for not staying in touch with friends is that they don’t have a screen name

4 – you’d rather look all over the house for the remote instead of just pushing to button on the tv.

6 – your boss dont even have the ability to do your job.

7 – you read this list, & keep nodding and smiling

8 – as you read this list, you think about sending it to all your
friends

9 – and.. you were to busy to notice number 5.

10 – you actually scrolled back up to check that there was no 5

11 – & now you’re laughing at your stupidity

I’ve had this link lying around for a while and thought I’d post it for historical purposes.

Enjoy.

Let the flaming begin…

In continuance of my rip session on Zorro, here is another session.

Since when do they where Nike tennis shoes in the 1800s (or whenever Zorro took place?)

B98.7 So Called ‘Free Tickets’

When you call in and are told you’ve won ‘tickets to the premier showing’ of a movie, one damn well expects to see TICKETS to the movie.

Let me elaborate, yesterday, Nicole called into B98.7 and ended up “winning” two “free tickets” to the premier showing of Zorro. She was told to “make sure she showed up early” to stand in line as the seats would go early. So we show up with our so called ‘free’ movie passes and end up paying $17 to see an entirely different movie.

Here are how things transpired. I show up an hour early to stand in line. 30 minutes later, someone in the line happens to mention that I had better ‘redeem’ my ‘free movie pass’ for actual movie tickets. What? “Yeah, you can’t get into the movie with those passes.” Nowhere on the passes does it mention we are to ‘redeem’ our ‘free movie passes’ for legitimate ‘movie tickets’. You mean I’ve been standing in this line for 30 minutes WITH ILLEGITIMATE MOVIE PASSES!!! Needless to say, I rush to the box-office only to find out the movie had already sold out. NO TICKETS!

The thing that really bothered me was that when I explained what had happened to Nic and I, the ‘studio rep’ wouldn’t even attempt to help us out. She even tried to explain to me that it ‘says right on the pass’ that we had to redeem our tickets prior to the show. Hmm, what do you think?

M$ Office Trick

Whilst googleing articles on creating custom, hierarchical sitemaps, I ran across this guys post on a trick to do a window split without having to grab that damn drag bar in the upper right hand corner. As I use this quite frequently, I deemed it important enough to comment on.

Thanks Morgan.
