Me giving ESPN the finger

ESPN Tools
ESPN...wow you disappoint me nearly as much as I had expected. One of their columnist hands out this "dashie" distinction this year and conviently misses all of the great players and great coaching that has been done this year by the LSU Tigers. Unbelieveable the degree of negative bias that is shown the SEC in college football. As if the BCS snubbing LSU with a "co championship" with USC in 2003 was not bad enough, this year we are the 4th place team in the BCS polls when Penn State does not even remotely deserve the place as 3rd. Everyone is getting overly sentimental over coach Joe Paterno. Also take note of where the 2003 National Championship trophy is held...that's right it is in Tiger Stadium, not at USC. So ESPN, thank you for giving me something to rant and rave about for the day and here it is I give you the newest technology award, the e-finger.

Who is your daddy and what does he do?

I am often asked what do I do for a living so here it is in short. DOTD

Check out the video that is now available from our live cameras that the company I work for has designed. Pretty nice stuff. The video looks way better in person before they package and compress this to the point where it works on the internet.

So this is pretty much part of my job...when I'm not hanging out at LTM.

Wes the tool part deux

Above is the most grainy nasty ...real looking image of me after a long drug out day of work and working out. I am beat. Read the link to 72mach1.com and see what has happened to Wes while trying to acquire the xbox 360 that was not available.

Mainly this post is to mock Wes (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tool See slang at bottom)

Okay...think I'm done...I'll post something else if I get bored again.

Wes is a toool

My friend Wes (www.72mach1.com) is a complete iddiot. First he is selling me out for working out today to go buy an xbox 360...or at least he thinks. These things are 399 and 499 each for the units and my God and sunny Jesus that's a lot of cash. I never bought an original xbox becuase I thought it was too much money for what you got and I'm sure this will also be the same. Anyway, back to the point. Wes goes to sit in line at 5:30 till when they "release" these things on the world at midnight tonight. First there are only about 50 at the bestbuy here in Baton Rouge. Microsoft is intentionally keeping the supply low on them to artifically drive up the demand. Lovely chaps over at Microsoft. Next ...well there really is no next...the point was that Wes is a tool for going to sit in line for 7 hours for a video game console. That is all for now.

Nailguns, LSU Tigers, and 73 Mach1s

This weekend was about as good as it can get. The LSU Tigers defeated the evil Alabama Crimson Tide by a score of 16-13 in single overtime. What a game...tigers pulled it out and nearly gave us all a heart attack in the process. So I'm driving home and I came across an odditiy, I took a picture of it just for Wes (www.72mach1.com)

This is a 73 Mach 1 according to him. This thing is as full-race as you can get. Pretty hip lookin' for a Ford, although I'm pretty sure the Z can handle it from a stoplight. (j/j)

So what can get any better than this? Well I'm glad you asked. I setup my parents' new 32 LCD television this weekend to watch the LSU football game on. This thing is great being that we were using a 20" old-school TV to watch LSU football on before. Check it out:

Hooah!

Thanks ImageShack!

This my friends is what hurricane Rita refugees are being fed. I got this over at my parents' house this weekend and of course had to snap a picture of this. A few will understand, but I think more will wonder why do I think this is funny.

For those that don't get it, I reccomend you rent and watch the classic Scent of a Woman with the charming Lt. Colonel Frank Slade. For those unsure of this person have a look below.
