I am big fan of sitting on my couch, throwing a Blue Ray in the PS3, and letting the Plasma and surround sound make my evening. Thanks to my blockbuster movie pass, I grabbed three new movies the other day, and my wife and I watched “My Idiot Brother” just last night.
While I would say this was a pretty good comedy flick, it was missing explosions, drama, a spy, a wedding, and much much more to get everything I like in a movie. So if you would like to watch a movie with every genre of movie, then Jimmy Kimmel’s “Movie : The Movie” is the ticket.
The trailer is 9 minutes long, how can you not love this movie?
Today is the greatest day of your life, because today you found out that there is such a thing as Ultimate Tazerball. What is Ultimate Tazerball you ask? Well that is the most amazing question I have ever heard, and better yet, it comes with an even more amazing answer. Ultimate Tazerball is where stupidity meets boredom. Ultimate Tazerball is where humans take a practical device used by peace officers to save lives and prevent injury, and begin to willingly electrocute each other as they chase one another around in a confined area. Yes, I just said that.
If you watch the video above, you can clearly see the talent they are utilizing to fill the team rosters are the crem de la crem of society. My favorite part of the informative video above has to be when Jason Bornstein states, “It hurts man, it doesn’t feel good.” Really? It hurts?
This sport was actually invented in Canada, but it is illegal to play there, so the next live match is in Bangkok, Thailand. You can check out the official website that currently has 779 amazing facebook fans by clicking here. With only four teams at the moment we won’t be seeing this on ESPN any time soon, but ESPN 18, you never know.
Would you par take in Ultimate Tazerball?
In another life I was a risk manager for a hedge fund. At the fund we used options to hedge our stock position, and when the stock would drop, we would use the profits made on the hedge to reinvest and grow the position organically. My function at the hedge fund was to know exactly, to the penny, how much was at risk at any given moment. With normal IV levels, we would maintain less than 10% of the account at risk at any one time.
For someone to be attracted to a job like that, these qualities have to be passed onto other aspects of daily life. At least that is the case for me. When I look at a potential recreational activity in my daily life, I really like to weigh the risk vs. reward, and come to a conclusion that has the best rate of return. In the case of this rope swing, the risk is ending up very dead, or at the least very broken. The reward is, well, what is the reward? With that said, it seems like 100% of my account (my body) would be at risk. This makes the world’s largest rope swing, a cut and dry, oh hellz nah!
I will say it makes for a pretty cool video. What do you think, would you take on the world’s largest rope swing?
Instead of throwing your old computer through a window after it has booted up for its final time, hopefully you are aware that there are better places than others to put your old computer when it is laid to rest. While you may have the strange desire to jump up and down on it, which will now be easier as your wallet is suddenly lighter from buying a new one, trashing your computer isn’t very eco friendly.
You not only can help the planet, but some recyclers will even pay you for it. Generally these recyclers are paying you by the weight, so you more than likely won’t get enough to cover the gas it took to drive you there in the first place, but you can still be happy it will be disposed of properly.
Here is a great site where you can find E-Waste Reycylers and places to donate old electronics in the Bay Area.
If you are in the East Bay on President’s Day weekend, and want to drive to San Francisco, you are gonna have to fill up the tank before you get on the freeway. Unfortunately the Bay Bridge is being shut down for the latest and greatest repairs at 8pm on February 17th and re-opening at 5am on Tuesday February 21st. This means 3.5 days of driving south to the San Mateo bridge if you have to take your car.
On the flip side their could be a weather issue. It seems the repair they are making this go round requires good weather, so the closure could be cancelled if mother nature doesn’t cooperate. All you need to do is to check out http://baybridgeinfo.org/. on the 17th to see if they are still on schedule. If all goes well, and the rain clouds don’t show their faces, I will see you in traffic on Monday morning!
The Tesla Model X has arrived, and she is perdy! Of course, by arrived I mean, they drew pictures of it and put it on their website… Well that is pretty much all that Tesla does, right? Hopefully some day they will actually have cars for people to take home with them, and when they do….they is gonna be mazing!
The big advantage of going with Tesla over your average Toyota, is obviously the 0 emissions and the lack of trips to the gas station. This may be the reason for going with Tesla for most, but I think for me, it’s how they do EVERYTHING differently than the major brands. They are a company of innovation, coming up with solutions to problems the major car manufacturers care not to solve.
Take for instance their awesome solution to getting in the car. Rather than just having a door, like every other car company, Tesla decided bird wings would be better. Check out the awesome gull wing style doors that make it super easy to get to the third row seat. How about the awesome 17 inch touchscreen monitor that operates all of the functions of the car? The Tesla designers are truly embracing their Trekkie status, and bringing us right along to “Where no one has gone before!”
The Superbowl is coming up this weekend, and we can only hope that the ads will be as good as last year. I know that I have spent more on Diritos this year than ever before, because that dog jumped through a door and squashed a bonehead. Or wait, nope, didn’t buy any Dirito’s… Hmmm…
Well I know that I totally got me a Volkswagen Passat this year because you can turn them on with the force if you wear a Darth Vader suit. Oh wait, my parents totally gave me that car when they bought a brand new NISSAN… Hmmm….
All I know is, it is totally worth it for those companies to spend millions of dollars in advertising on the Superbowl, rather than making their products healthier and/or cheaper, enticing me to buy more of them. It’s a good thing companies have their priorities straight, or our world would be pretty screwed up…
Acura has been teasing us for years, promising to bring back the ever so amazing NSX. Up until now, it has been a twisted game of now you see me, now you don’t. This commercial should dry up all of those tears, and bring back the love to the upper echelon japanese brand. Superbowl commercials cost millions and millions of dollars, so I can go to sleep tonight knowing that the NSX is coming soon.
I have owned three Acura’s, and I must say they were pretty fantastic. The fact that I have been driving for 10 years, and have owned three separate Acura’s says more about me, then it does about them. I am sure that I would still be driving the 2004 TSX today, had that Z06 Corvette not been so pretty…
Anyhoo, I am sure the price tag is going to be in the 80-120k range, so maybe in 2030 I can pick one up with 2 or 300k miles on it (fingers crossed).
What do yah think of the new body style? Would you buy one? Leave a comment!
