Well, the $100K sports car is out of the Reliant’s price range, but once this becomes popular, they’ve gotta be making some sedans and such.

Click here for the scoop.

Okay, so now I’m intrigued. And I’d like some creative help. I let the D&D Fan Film pass me by, but not this. (And yes, I would divide the cash prize.)
Check out this. Any ideas that you’d like to see made?

I hadn’t written anything in a while because I’ve been focused on Parent-Teacher conferences, my philosophy class, and my capstone. (Here’s the capstone.)

I don’t feel too bad, though. How long has it taken George for Indiana Jones 4?

I can call him by just his first name. We’re close like that.

The Poehls Sisters from the local USO.

Here’s some karaoke:

Here are some great arcade shockwave classics. These are a promo for their Playstation 2 collection.
Like bbspot said, EA is actually putting updating advertisements into Battlefield 2142.

20 Things the average person doesn’t know about XP

1. It boasts how long it can stay up. Go to the Command Prompt in the Accessories menu from the All Programs start button option, and then type ‘systeminfo’. The computer will produce a lot of useful info, including the uptime. If you want to keep these, type ‘systeminfo > info.txt’. This creates a file called info.txt you can look at later with Notepad. (Professional Edition only).

2. You can delete files immediately, without having them move to the Recycle Bin first. Go to the Start menu, select Run… and type ‘gpedit.msc’; then select User Configuration, Administrative Templates, Windows Components, Windows Explorer and find the Do not move deleted files to the Recycle Bin setting. Set it. Poking around in gpedit will reveal a great many interface and system options, but take care — some may stop your computer behaving as you wish. (Professional Edition only).

3. You can lock your XP workstation with two clicks of the mouse. Create a new shortcut on your desktop using a right mouse click, and enter ‘rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation’ in the location field. Give the shortcut a name you like. That’s it — just double click on it and your computer will be locked. And if that’s not easy enough, Windows key + L will do the same.

4. XP hides some system software you might want to remove, such as Windows Messenger, but you can make it show everything. Using Notepad or Edit, edit the text file /windows/inf/sysoc.inf, search for the word ‘hide’ and remove it. You can then go to the Add or Remove Programs in the Control Panel, select Add/Remove Windows Components and there will be the software and you can now uninstall it.

5. For those skilled in the art of DOS batch files, XP has a number of interesting new commands. These include ‘eventcreate’ and ‘eventtriggers’ for creating and watching system events, ‘typeperf’ for monitoring performance of various subsystems, and ‘schtasks’ for handling scheduled tasks. As usual, typing the command name followed by /? will give a list of options.

6. XP has IP version 6 support — the next generation of IP. Unfortunately this is more than your ISP has, so you can only experiment with this on your LAN. Type ‘ipv6 install’ into Run… (it’s OK, it won’t ruin your existing network setup) and then ‘ipv6 /?’ at the command line to find out more. If you don’t know what IPv6 is, don’t worry.

7. You can at last get rid of tasks on the computer from the command line by using ‘taskkill /pid’ and the task number, or just ‘tskill’ and the process number. Find that out by typing ‘tasklist’, which will also tell you a lot about what’s going on in your system.

8. XP will treat Zip files like folders, which is nice if you’ve got a fast machine. On slower machines, you can make XP leave zip files alone by typing ‘regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll’ at the command line. If you change your mind later, you can change things back by typing ‘regsvr32 zipfldr.dll’.

9. XP has ClearType — Microsoft’s anti-aliasing font display technology — but doesn’t have it enabled by default. It’s well worth trying, especially if you were there for DOS and all those years of staring at a screen have given you the eyes of an astigmatic bat. To enable ClearType, right click on the desktop, select Properties, Appearance, Effects, select ClearType from the second drop-down menu and enable the selection. Expect best results on laptop displays. If you want to use ClearType on the Welcome login screen as well, set the registry entry HKEY_USERS/.DEFAULT/Control Panel/Desktop/FontSmoothingType to 2.

10. You can use Remote Assistance to help a friend who’s using network address translation (NAT) on a home network, but not automatically. Get your pal to email you a Remote Assistance invitation and edit the file. Under the RCTICKET attribute will be a NAT IP address, like 192.168.1.10. Replace this with your friend’s real IP address — they can find this out by going to www.whatismyip.com — and get them to make sure that they’ve got port 3389 open on their firewall and forwarded to the errant computer.

11. You can run a program as a different user without logging out and back in again. Right click the icon, select Run As… and enter the user name and password you want to use. This only applies for that run. The trick is particularly useful if you need to have administrative permissions to install a program, which many require. Note that you can have some fun by running programs multiple times on the same system as different users, but this can have unforeseen effects.

12. Windows XP can be very insistent about you checking for auto updates, registering a Passport, using Windows Messenger and so on. After a while, the nagging goes away, but if you feel you might go insane before that point, run Regedit, go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version/Explorer/Advanced and create a DWORD value called EnableBalloonTips with a value of 0.

13. You can start up without needing to enter a user name or password. Select Run… from the start menu and type ‘control userpasswords2′, which will open the user accounts application. On the Users tab, clear the box for Users Must Enter A User Name And Password To Use This Computer, and click on OK. An Automatically Log On dialog box will appear; enter the user name and password for the account you want to use.

14. Internet Explorer 6 will automatically delete temporary files, but only if you tell it to. Start the browser, select Tools / Internet Options… and Advanced, go down to the Security area and check the box to Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser is closed.

15. XP comes with a free Network Activity Light, just in case you can’t see the LEDs twinkle on your network card. Right click on My Network Places on the desktop, then select Properties. Right click on the description for your LAN or dial-up connection, select Properties, then check the Show icon in notification area when connected box. You’ll now see a tiny network icon on the right of your task bar that glimmers nicely during network traffic.

16. The Start Menu can be leisurely when it decides to appear, but you can speed things along by changing the registry entry HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/Desktop/MenuShowDelay from the default 400 to something a little snappier. Like 0.

17. You can rename loads of files at once in Windows Explorer. Highlight a set of files in a window, then right click on one and rename it. All the other files will be renamed to that name, with individual numbers in brackets to distinguish them. Also, in a folder you can arrange icons in alphabetised groups by View, Arrange Icon By… Show In Groups.

18. Windows Media Player will display the cover art for albums as it plays the tracks — if it found the picture on the Internet when you copied the tracks from the CD. If it didn’t, or if you have lots of pre-WMP music files, you can put your own copy of the cover art in the same directory as the tracks. Just call it folder.jpg and Windows Media Player will pick it up and display it.

19. Windows key + Break brings up the System Properties dialogue box; Windows key + D brings up the desktop; Windows key + Tab moves through the taskbar buttons.

20. Windows XP secretly KNOWS that the average user has no idea what they are doing. Therefore, it doesn’t let you do really stupid things like deleting the windows directory (at least not without spending several hours convincing it that you REALLY want to do this). Oh yeah, and internet explorer kinda sucks, get Firefox.

Check your local Telemundo listings (http://www.telemundoeventos.com/vonv/) to catch this hot new show. (Okay, so it’s Deal or No Deal. But in Latin America, there’s no background music, no Howie Mandel, and the max cash prize is $250,000. (And people actually go for the $18,000 offer (like tonight’s episode) and don’t scoff.)

Let’s see if you could be a Blade Runner as awesome as Rick Deckard. Of course, he’s a replicant. What, you didn’t know?
Who’s the human and who’s the replicant? Live? But then again, how many of us do?

On the topic of replicants, here’s how to paint like Bob Ross

I say that it’s definitely a divine humbling, to say the least. Me being the unfocused Fantasier that I am, I forgot to put in my TE in Fantasy Football.

I was down one player due to my own ineptitude.

What makes it funnier is this:
Of all the combinations of players in the NFL, of all the possible stats of them playing, of all the bragging I did in iMovie format, guess what the end score was…

71-70.

This computer is amazing. Imagine that in a classroom, or an engineering meeting….

Or, sadly enough, a Star Wars role-playing game.

BBspot also had a really cool link to a Flash map of Middle Eastern empires.

I know that some of you have been readers of Booyor’s Bloggh for a while now, but I bet that some of you did not know these facts.

It’s time for The Hunt again, where crazy pop culture knowledge gets tested as my friend Gavin drives around in a van with a bunch of engineers trying to compete against other people in vans. It’s all a bunch of secret society stuff from 1951. Fun, fun.

Here’s the main site.
Here’s the Hints, Wise and Otherwise, a list of hints for the hunt. Try your hand at it and see if you know pop culture. If you’re really cool, you’ll post your findings here.
But only if you’re really cool.

Is #19 Prisonbreak? #18 is the Mentos in the soda thing.

And here’s a cool video thing
Almost as cool as my taunt.

I saw a concert in one of my friends’ homes (along with 60 men and women from India) on Sunday. In Fred’s living room. Freakin’ rad. Here’s the band’s site: http://www.aradhnamusic.com/
I hung out with the band and even got their autographs. Very moving music. They’re cool. (With a feel of NAU…even though they’re from India and England.) Travis is their bass player and he’s tall and likes Ultimate Frisbee. Pretty funny.
They even put sheet music of their music on their site. I got the Satsang album. It’s live and you can hear kids clapping and laughing in the audience. A funny memory was watching my friend’s wife show the violinist and the guitarist how to use the microwave to heat up their dinner.

My wife got me Straight Outta Lynwood. She loves me. Pure genius, that CD is. Weird Al does deserve his star on the walk of fame. I seemed to have forgotten that he has a wife and a daughter. Too cool.

And I’m wondering what y’all think about the show ‘Heroes’. Here’s Hiro’s blog. No barbarians, but still cool.
