Further Proof

Okay, like we really needed further proof that people are sheep. Well this little act sure does prove how gullible people as a group really are. Behold, the invisible string:



ROR

Delta 6 Accelerator Suit

I knew this was going to go viral... unfortunately. So now here is the obligatory post of the worst viral video I have ever seen. If the animation is any suggestion of what the upcoming movie is like, then good luck with that.

This movie has looked awful from the get go. Sure I think it will be packed with action and a lot of special effects, and maybe a good story, but the only thing even related to G.I. Joe would be the names. This Delta 6 Accelerator Suit looks like the worst addition to any movie ever... even RoboCop. They have taken a show that defined the characters by what they were wearing and how they did it un-enhanced, and turned it into some SciFi ...Delta 6 Accelerator Suit. Need I say more.

Tron

Yes there is another.

Omaha Police Chase

This is one of my favorite police chases. Not only because of the fact it happened in my home town, but probably just the action in the video. The suspect shoots a sawed of shotgun through the back window at the cops at about the 3 minute mark. That is about the turning point from maybe we should back off, to we are going to get this guy! And they do. Good work Omaha!

Facebook

Okay, so now Facebook is not safe ... was it ever? Here is a little story about a guy named Dan. Well, Facebook takes the pictures of your friends to try and sell you useless crap. Apparently this is an ad that Dan received with a picture of his wife attached to it.

Privacy

These days privacy is a hard thing to come by. In fact your cell phone records are accessible and there are tons of numbers, and records with personal information available, either free or paid for.

I really like this guys approach at getting the attention of Verizon's CEO. I love the "can you hear me now" bit this guy does.

The Need to Laugh

I needed a laugh today, in a bad way.

Who better than to do that, then the Three Stooges

Roller coasters

Okay, so I am a roller coaster junkie, in a big way! But I think if I were to take on something like this, I would have to have quite a bit of liquid courage before I tried it. Ah, those wacky Germans!



Dirk Auer, pictured above, is an extreme inline skater who already holds the world speed record for skating, achieving a top speed of 190mph while being dragged behind a Porsche GT2. So how does one top such an accomplishment? Well by designing a special pair of inline skates that allow you to ride a wooden roller coaster of course! This stunt, which took place on the Mammoth roller coaster at the Trips Drill theme park in Stuttgart, took 2 months to plan including 110 hours making the custom inline skates. But the ride itself took just over a minute with Auer reaching a top speed of 56mph after the first 30 meter drop.

And I would totally call shenanigans on these photos were it not for this news report with footage of Dirk actually racing around the coaster. -OhGizmo

Tata Motors

Okay so the $2,500 Tata Nano is now starting its initial sales in Mumbai. All I have to say is this car is a matchbox. I couldn't even imagine who would come out on top in a collision with a Smart Car but I'm betting on the Smart Car.

I couldn't imagine this thing on Americas roads, but I do wonder when GM will give to there new owners and start mass producing a roller skate like this.

Here is a little video to see what a head on crash does ...


..and dead

Management

This is so true!

Dragon Tank

This should have been in the works for a long time.

Happy Anniversary

Forty years ago we (The United States) put men on the moon. Seems like an unbelievable feet these days. Imagine the progress that could have been made had we stuck with this monumental accomplishment for mankind.

On July 16th, 1969 Mission Commander Neil Alden Armstrong, Command Module Pilot Michael Collins, and Lunar Module Pilot Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, Jr. shot from earth in the Apollo module headed to the moon.



On this day July 20, 1968 Armstrong and Aldrin became the first humans to set foot on the moon.


Boston.com is running a special of 40 pictures to commemorate the anniversary, be sure to check them out.

Close Qarters Combat

Okay so getting locked up in a bar room brawl doesn't happen all that often. But if it does get down to old fashion street fighting there are some good techniques (often involving leverage) that are effective to use.



Best defense I have ever used or even seen used is a brain. If you have one of those tools, you can do a lot to avoid such situations.

Mom Jeans

I give you, the mom jeans moment.

Saving Money is Complicated???

Just ask Hillary Clinton. Apparently the reason the Firefox is not used at the State Department is, it is too expensive??

Her speech is very exasperating... very political. If you say enough you will lose the audience.

Omaha and Gun Control

This is something to get worried about. I commented about this bill in Omaha that would require fingerprinting individuals that sell guns to stores like Scheels.

Earlier this week, the Omaha City Council approved an ordinance that would require individuals who wish to sell firearms to "secondhand stores," such as Scheels, Guns Unlimited, and other places (which are not pawnbrokers), be fingerprinted before the transaction can occur. The ordinance would also require store owners to keep these fingerprints on record and authorizes law enforcement to inspect those records without notice or warrant. The approved ordinance now heads to the desk of Mayor Jim Suttle (D) for his consideration.

If enacted, this could lead to future ordinances requiring fingerprinting for all firearm transactions.

Please contact Mayor Suttle TODAY and respectfully urge him to veto this ordinance. The Mayor can be reached by phone at (402) 444-5000 or visit http://www.co.douglas.ne.us/omaha/mayor/contact-us to send email. Also, please contact the members of the City Council who voted for the ordinance and respectfully voice your disapproval with their passage of this attack on our Second Amendment freedoms.

Socialized Medicine

Well worth the watch. WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!

There's One Way to Go

Holly B-B-Q Batman, I give you The Original Bacon Explosion

2 pounds thick cut bacon
2 pounds Italian sausage
1 jar of your favorite barbeque sauce
1 jar of your favorite barbeque rub






If I have to go, why not do it eating something like this. As tasty as this monstrosity looks, I think one bit would be a daily amount of calories.. and the saturated fat.... mmmm ... saturated fat

Shelby GT500 vs. Camaro SS

Its all in the tires.. but really no competition between these two.

1st Person Shooter

There was probably a time in the 90s that I had this same problem. I have since recovered.

Glock foregrip

Okay so all I have to say about this, is don't use it. You would be much better off.

Citroen GT

It isn't too often you see a car that is designed and built by an electronics company like Polyphony Digital, a subsidiary of Sony. This concept car was developed for the racing game Gran Turismo 5. Tell me this thing doesn't look cool!

Blog Anniversary

Okay, so I have been working on this blog for an entire year (even though my first official post was January). It took a while to get rolling but here it is. After 253 posts it has become a pretty good hobby. I figure most of the stuff I'm reading about anyway. Might as well have it to read in this one handy location.

For the loyal readers out there I will try to mix stuff up to keep it interesting, for those that are passing though, thanks. I'll see if I can keep up the good work attracting new viewers but the best way to spread is word of mouth.

Thanks for watching!

July last year my first post read "Test" Hardly worthy of keeping it around.

Office 2010

Okay, it was so stupid, I HAD to laugh. This is a trailer, done the way any great action movie trailer gets done. And yes, Microsoft did it for Office 2010. I laughed...

Clippys Dead, let him go...
