...in your heart when you see 4 player new mario brothers....



can't.

D, M j, Y g:i A

That's it...

I'm curious how long it's going to take before google gets wind of this an people don't' have to build that string for them selves anymore...

how nerdy this is...

I have many obsessions.

One of which, unbeknownced to few is skateboarding.
I haven't done it in quite a while, but I still enjoy doing it from time to time.

When I started it, unfortunately was right around the time those damed Tony Hawk games were coming out, which is only crumby because it sorta lends my fandom to a fad, which it really had a lot less to do with.

You see I've loved skateboards since first seeing them in vision magazines that the 2 or 3 lil white dudes who were in my inner city grammar school brought in. I was never one to draw inside the lines and though only those kids were into skateboards I loved them and wanted one really bad.

I never though I could ask my mom for something like that. I thought everything those kids had were too expensive for me to ever ask for, which was bogus, but how could I know.

I thought I would die when after a "business trip" to San Fran my dad brought my brother and I back a couple of old school decks with fishtails that he likely bought from a street vendor for a quarter of the price. Alas, my street, though beautiful, was one of the last brick streets on the east side, so I ended up learning to skate in my driveway only, which was a very long driveway, but I digress...

Fast forward 10 years and at 22 I decided to start learning to skate on my own after my first year of snowboarding, but as I had a lot less time and friends who also skated I turned to as many outlets as I could to get the information and learn the skill.

Internet videos, video games, and the occasional friend weren't the least of which. I think the most influencial though was my army of finger skateboards. I was able to do dangerous things to learn how the board moved when some tricks were performed without the danger of trying them my self was additive. All form the safety of my boring HSBC Kodak check imager. I'm sure that I wouldn't know how to olie if it wasn't for my tech deck.

Fast forward about 10 more years and now I'm old and couched with so much responsibility that I don't have time to sratch my nose before 7:30 at night and then I saw this on the you tubes...



I've been teetering on weather I'd by an iphone or a g1 and I think the decider has just shown up.

When I'm a cartoon... looka me!

Tesla Motors is an electric car company and they've started shipping their cars. If I was loaded I'd by two and give one away to raise awareness of this company, I guess my blog entry is going to have to suffice until the girls are out of college or I find an oil well in my backyard. The company is named after one of my favorite inventors too (who was played by David effin Bowie in the movie "The Prestige" which comes highly recommended by (e:IMK2)).

David Bowie as Nichola Tesla in "The Prestige"


There's so many things that are awesome about this car, and I feel like one day it will drive the market (no puns intended).

There's not many of them and even fewer persons who can service them so it has a USB keyslot so you can download the cars status data and send it to the company via these here inter webs.

OK. Here's a down/up side to it. It's noiseless, and legislation is coming through to make the car make noise (so babies aren't run over), and plans are being made to put speakers on the outside to support said legislation. The coolest news of all this is that you can choose what sound you want it to make, and at which times! That and it'll be a lot easier to pump my sweet beats when I'm driving through your quiet neighborhood (jyeah). Ok, most of that is heresay and speculation, but that's half the fun.

One of the nerds on TWIT is putting the sound of Sebulbas pod from episode I (ok, Star Wars: Episode 1 for all you normies).

Man I love the foocher!

Yeah Future!

THIS IS THE NERDIEST I HAVE EVER BEEN

Yahoo! vs. Google


Yahoo! vs. MSN!


Yahoo! vs. Google

I'd like to have a game of RISK! tonight at my house (GOOGLE - 244 Sanders Road, Buffalo, New York 14216) The game will start at 8:00 to allow the babies a chance to fall asleep, there will be beers, chips and well.. RISK! There will/should/can be some Rockband between turns for the ADD kid in you too!


I know this is a little impromptu but really how much preparation does beer and your RISK! 'A' game take to get ready?

There's only 4 extra slots, and I'll only go forward with it if at least 2 of you peeps sign up by 6:00pm. If RISK! is a bust I guess I'll be resigned to XBOX Live Wednesday.

I'm calling the blue pieces. Uh, sign up by replying to this post (Meggy you have to sign up too since other will be calling their armies colors by posting replies and it's only fair).

WARNING: I uh, get a lil silly when I play the RISK! Tonight I'll be donning the personage of the Baron, should the RISK! commence.



I'll leave you with a quote from his lordship:

"The armies of Anthonia will march on this eve, and the blood of her foes will flow in rivulets down the plastic faces of those who dare appose her. Avast! yon heritic! May Anthoinain steel hurry you to a meeting with your heathen maker!"

--Baron Clubfoot Von Bictchburg Master Sargent Domo Lord and Vassel of Our Lords Lands of the Raging Blue Solider, Her Majesty's Anthonia

Ok that could have been, Holy Cow, but I think I'm going to coin a new exploitive. I'm at work looking for some you tube videos to finish up a project and I came across this.

(e:terry) and I were talking about this stuff just the other day. We made wolves in to puppies and look at what we're doing to the friggin' cows

buff assed cow


yummy.

This post might just as aptly be titled, "As the CO 2 levels in our atmosphere rise so do the irregularites of Tonys brain" or "Microhoo! bamboozled me again!" or "My overzeloulness has undone me for the last time" or... just read the damn post.

Yeah Porn industry way to give into BuRay.

Ok so we're on the brink of Sony actually winning one of it's many failed attempts at buying a starndard. Not scince the day so of the walkman has a Sony format been so widely accepted. (e:pmt) I'm sorry for stearing you down such a faulty path. You'd have been so much happier with a PS3, and you'd have had your BluRay by now.

This issue has me perplexed and dismayed for many many reasons.

Tax season is upon us and the possiblity of the Big Assed TV (which will be refered to as BATVHD) is skullking in the rafters, but why would nerd of my ilk want a big assed TV?

I'm rather social. It used to be an odd thing for me to miss an (e:strip) social event or any such event in the past (I just missed MGMT in toronto this weekend and I'm not even sad about it anymore, it's just a matter of course with is kinda pathetic), but things have changed. I have a bundle of joy and a bunch of women who need me to love and entertain them constantly. So, being the realist I'd like to consider my self I thought, "well Tony... you're not leaving the damn house anytime soon, " an attitued of defeat that I think is at the core of this perplexing delima. The social parts of me are crying out for relase lately and I fear I will do something irrespsoible if I don't find a decent outlet soon.

The Meggasaurs and I were talking about it this weekend, and it was easy to get her to agree with me on many parts of my argument. We has a few tussles about me not wanting her to buy me anything for Xmas or my birthday since I was saving up for the BATVHD (something about me being selfish for not wanting to let someone else buy my stuff, I get it I don't buy it, I digress). So, have support for the boob tube but I don't think that this TV wil really make me any happier. So she's down for the TV and for the PS3, but I don't' want that many nintnedos in my life. Especially when I'd rather hang out with peeps, and the nintendo that was supposed be like hanging out while playing nintendo dosn't really cut it. (I mean both of my white boxes of nerdiness. The XBOX w/ Live especially, but you have to invite people over to play Wii... and while it's cool if it happens to be there isn't not very cool if that's the point of a visit)

Eventually everyones gonna have to have a BATVHD but by that time they'll be reasonalby afforadable. I've been considering selling all my stupid nintendos (I have this love hate relationship with videogames), but with the HD Star Wars Animated series, and the Force Unleashed game just around the corner all this seems silly until you consider this amazing tid bit of information...

((e:mrdeadlier) sit down before you read this) I think I'm over StarWars.





::crickets chirpin::





Yeah (e:mrdealier) and I were talking about it and even he's having troubles staying excited for next big thing coming for the Lucas camp... so that game, Force Unleashed, which will be released on a silmiar device that plays more quitely, has decenty customer support, wont' eat your disks, and isn't owned by a company doing dumb things to compete that aren't effective (Yahoo! Seriosuly?) anyway.

So what does a nerd like me do? Tell you what. If I could work out more often, and go out and do thing I won't have done any of this, but I've made my bed, now I have got to sleep in it.

On a positive note I have about 70billion games I haven't even started playing or that I'm not even half way through. (I just got star #52 in Mario Galaxy... exciting news, I know), and the Meggiebyte got out and did some Meg stuff this weekend finally (she took some photo's round town while I stat with the girls on Sunday, I told her to call you (e:jim) ... well, after the fact, but I told her and she'll go again I'm sure).

So porn, which by the way has become so avaliable on the web that maybe I shouldn't have had any faith in them picking HDDVD. What more is I should have just not had faith in either porn or Sony to stand on any moral highgrounds since now you can get your porn in BluRay too.. Moral of our story here... even when you'd like to get excited about porn you just end up with a bigger mess on your hands than you'll ever feel comfortable with, so just avoid it and go hang out with real people.

OK something cool did happend this weekend. I saw an inconvient truth, which unlike 2 girls one cup gives me hope for humanity. Not because I think Al Gore can stop global warmiing as easily as he intevented these here internets, but because a person like him can exsist. It makes me feel like I'm living in an Asimov novle, and pretty darn proud to be a human. Even if we're all gonna die in storms big enough to turn cows into milkshakes.
