The Custom Concerns of John

Sunday, Oh Glorious Sunday!

Sorry for the rush in the links but sorta pressed for time tonight!

current song: All Alone - Gorillaz

Unholy dolphin Hell Unleashed Upon Us All

You thought they were smart. You thought they were cute. You thought they could swim really, really fast. You thought they were harmless. YOU THOUGHT WRONG (except for the whole smart, cute, and swimming thing)! Surely this is a sign of the coming apocalypse! Deadly dolphin death for all the dumbasses dumb enough to stay in New Orleans!

In a story just a scary: live giant squid discovered and photographed. A Japanese scientist has photographed the creature. All boaters in the Japan region watch out, but I'm sure this thing is nice once you get to know it.

Crap Load Of Links!

Today I've got a real "crap load" of links for you folks. Here ya go:

current song: Tusk - Fleetwood Mac

Rita's a-blowing! (get your minds out of the gutter!)

Well, I'm writing this while "Hurricane Rita, recently down-graded to Tropical Storm Rita" is throwing all of her extras (just leave the dirty jokes at home) at me here in southern Arkansas. On to the links:

everyone knows about the iPod nano by now. well, it turns out the cost to produce is only around $90 while we're paying around $250 for it.
missed this last post. the Nintendo Revolution controller was "unveiled."
now a true test of the eye! is this picture fake or computer generated?
the new Superman movie has apparently broken the record for being the most expensive monvie in history with a current budget of $326 million. God let's hope it still doesn't suck.
here's one of the best ad campaigns I've seen in a while: "While you're waiting for you PSP, play with this bubble wrap!"
and we finally get those skin-implanted screens like we've been promised!

curren song: The Corner - Common

CHANGES!

We've got changes folks! See? All that time with no updates was worth it! Leave some feedback, tell me what you think! Yep, thing's are looking up... If I was ever on the ground in the first place. But I took away the hit counter and the AdSense shit. I didn't see the point in it really... Well, be sure to let me know what you think!

And yes, that is a rabbit with a pancake on its head.

current song: Middle of Nowhere - Hot Hot Heat

Late, Late, Late

Sorry folks for being so, so late but some things just can't be helped. Personal troubles, I say but I won't bore you with details.

current song: It's Been Awhile-Staind

Actually Getting Some Posting Done

Well, I'm actually getting some posting done lately. I know you folks aren't too used to this so don't panic, I doubt it'll happen much more often.

The great webcomic Penny Arcade is auctioning off a piece of original art drawn by the artist on eBay. All money from the purchase is going to the Red Cross. So far this thing price is rocketing up there! Check it out!
The things people come up with these days... Calculate an impact into the Earth (involves a lot of math!).
CNET has come up with a "list" of "10 Must-Haves" for gadgets. Yay...
Here's a test you can take to see how addicted you are to the Internet. Beware, for the truth hurts!
Clorox is doing a great thing by donating a dollar ($1!) for FREE to the Red Cross for everyone who checks a box. How lazy are you people? Do it already!
Some Japanese robotics company has designed and manufactured the world's first "mechwarrior." It looks interesting (and a little scary), but check it out.
Wow. Just wow. I wish I was rich and could afford one of these things!
