Verizon Fios vs Time Warner
Category: web
Unfortunately I have both time warner cable and verizon FIOS. One for home and one for the server. I have been considering consolidating but I love the upload speed of FIOS and its so hard to give it up. As for the download speed the cable modem is about the same.

Check out the speakeasy stats. Timewarner is actually faster for me in download.

Home with timewarner cable

Taking on the baconator
Category: food
I am trying to pack in some extra pounds and decided to try it. I
didn't realize it came with no vegetables at all.

I seriously can't believe how many calories are in it.

Between this and my Gallon of Milk per day diet I expect to die before my 34th birthday big and strong NO seriously i can't do the whole gallon a day. I am stick with a half which is only a little more milk than I drank before. Unlike the baconator, the milk I drink is organic and i wonder if it will work. Maybe the reason it is supposed to work is because normal milk has so many growth hormones.

I really Like it, since you are eating there maybe also get the Large Frosty and a baked Potatoe. I love that place they have (of all the fast food places) the best $Menu. That isn't the only thing they make with Bacon either.

Paul, I'm shocked you actually ate a Baconator. You are THE last person I thought would take it on. Did you like it? I just can't believe it.
mike - 01/19/10 18:18
I don't even like the baconator oddly enough, I like somne vegetable on it
lilho - 01/19/10 14:02

Cute new birdcage

After a trip to (e:chris)' honey hill pet store, we got a more fitting
cage for the birds. They still fight the whole day long.

I can only imagine...

The marketing meeting that lead to this advertisement.

"if we get on face book the mall will be packed."

So I admit I'm a bit confussed I see an Ad for 3 places The SPCA, Comfort Zone Cafe (isn't there one in The City on Elmwood also), and then that Sports Place. But then on the Bottom it says to find them on facebook to they mean each store or Just the Mall?

I hate vehicles

Everyone parks in our driveway. The parking people don't even give
them tickets when the are there. The other day matthew got into an
argument with a city parking attendent who would not ticket someone
parked illegally.

Everytime I come or go on the weekend, I need to beep or get in a
fight with someone.

Then this afternoon, someone with a careshare car smashed into a
dancecamp car. It was clearly the non dance camp person's fault which
is kind of ironic considering how the damce campers are usually parked
illegally all over the street or in lane of traffic. Somehow, the
carshare car hit the parked truck at like a right angle. The way it
hit, it makes me think the car malfunctioned.

This happend two minutes before we were about to leave. No one was
injured and no one was even in the parked car that got hit but three
firetucks, two ambulances and a number of police showed up.

Then the tow trucks showed up and parked in our driveway right in
front of the no parking sign. It's especially redivulous because you
can see the available parking spots behind the truck right on the
street and closer to the accident.

I have no idea. In the old days you could walk out side with a Bat and settle things and people got the message. You do that now and you are the bad guy. I think the real problem is it is tough to do tough things when they know where you live, you are right there they just visit.

How do you call a tow truck for an illegally parking tow truck.
metalpeter - 01/17/10 09:56
I'm not suggesting to do any thing illegal but there is one thing that would stop all of these promblems well two things but the second thing would work better. 1. Pan Handlers need to find out when people park there. If they walk right up to cars that are illegally parked and so they stick out and run some story that might cause them to park where they are supposed to. The other thing is for some crack heads or others who need money to break into a couple of cars parked there and that will spread like wild fire and no one will park there. To bad you can't install those spikes yes you would have a remote that makes them drop into the ground. Where you can only drive over them one way. That way anyone who drove in boom. Also Have you tried to call a tow truck to haul cars and then leave the car someplace else and make the person find it HA!!!!!!

There were five cop cars managing the rally last night. It seemed excessive. However, they allowed the parade to go down the middle of Allen Street, despite lack of permit & organizers' instructions to stay on the sidewalk.
