Booyor’s BLOGgh!

Some may call it dorky, but when you want to see what the entire book is about, this gives you the gist of the theme:

The larger the font, the more times that word is mentioned.

Here’s chapter 1.

Here’s the work that Bruce did.

Did you ever wonder about the .tv domain that is at the end of some websites? (Like the commercial that I just wretched through about flushthefat.tv.)

Well, the country of Tuvalu doesn’t use too much of its webspace, so one of their biggest moneymaking exports is renting its .tv extension.

Here’s its stats, in case you ever want to move there:

(don’t you expect to see some people freaking out about a hatch and then hearing a trumpet die as you go to commercial)

Size: 9 sq. mi. (26 km²)
Population: 10,441 (2005 estimate)
Location: South Pacific
An even cooler country is San Marino:

It was founded by a Christian guy (named Marino) and was hardly ever invaded. Napoleon skipped invading it because he said that it was a good model for a republic.

Here’s how their government is set up:

San Marino has a very complex government structure, based on a constitution written in 1600. The country is ruled by an elected Council of 60, who appoints 2 captain regents (from opposing political parties, no less) to administer governmental affairs for six-month term.

Eat your fight, Monaco. You no longer just have Vatican City to worry about.

In conclusion, Libya is a land of many contrasts.

I figure that with Super Bowl around the corner, I would dedicate today’s post to learning a little bit more about one of the coach’s that will command in next week’s gridiron gambit. Amidst all of the publicity, commercials about cavemen, nachos (oooh, nachos!), and multi-million dollar deals, we forget that these are real people (except for John Madden…he has been 3D rendered by EA onto our TVs since 1984. Little known fact: the first Madden game was released on the Apple II and rode on the success of the hit game Dr. J versus Larry Bird: One-on-One).
Here’s a little insight into what type of person Tony Dungy is. He spoke at the 19th Annual Athletes in Action breakfast before last year’s Super Bowl. He had the following to say about his son’s death (with regard to all of the letters and phone calls he received about the wake-up call of James Dungy’s suicide) :

If God had talked to me before James’ death and said his death would have helped all these people, it would have saved them and healed their sins, but I would have to take your son, I would have said no, I can’t do that.

But God had the same choice 2,000 years ago with His Son, Jesus Christ, and it paved the way for you and me to have eternal life. That’s the benefit I got, that’s the benefit James got and that’s the benefit you can get if you accept Jesus into your heart today as your Savior.

He later added:

Why does God allow pain in our life? Because we’re loved by God and the pain allows us to head back to our Father.

I’m finding more and more of these pictures of Star Wars characters as thrash metal stars. (Perhaps they’re glam rock, but come on! Check out Vader.)

I also found the true shooting script for the first Harry Potter movie:

And my favorite part of the new Star Wars TV show:

My grandma forwarded me this (because of my obsession with albino fauna, I guess. Or just because I’m very dear to her) and now you can also bask in the awe and wonder.

It makes sense that these would exist in other animals, not just mice and boas and football commentators.

It makes me think of the White Stag and my days hunting with King Peter and King Edmund. Those were the days. It was always a melancholy trip back to the train station.

Apple has expanded their peripherals market:

I can’t necessarily say that it will make more sense, but you will hear those words.

You gotta love software that the community builds (you just have to hope that it’s a smart community that is not psycho)(much).

Here is our ongoing list of free software that is legal.

I added a permanent link in the sidebar under My Sites to get you back to the wiki.

Timoculus of Borg was at a 100th + 50th birthday party that In-Law Films worked.

He gave me an insight into the life of a firefighter. He got a page on his beeper that said “Man down”. The way he calmly handled the information, knowing that what was reported was sometimes not what the end paperwork would reveal, gave me some respect for the non-ladder-climbing aspects of the job.

Here’s a sample day:

You can probably guess how well water flows from that pipe in the last picture.

You never know what you’ll see, like carpet being used to fix a concrete sidewalk. I guess the business got so used to it that they painted lines on the carpet. You go with what you’ve got, right?

After fighting fires and filling out mountains of paperwork, the homefront welcomes you with:

At first you may not notice what it is, but if you click on one of the pictures to see a bigger view, you will see the local fauna: a roof rat.

And yet, being the role model of every little kid helps you keep your appetite.

I think I will learn more about genetics law. My dad asked me some questions about the legality of altering someone’s DNA and I knew the Star Wars answer but not the real life answer.

I need to learn more, because dang, dude!

I wonder what people think about making your kid more portable.
