HAVE YOUR DIGITAL PHOTOS PRINTED & DELIVERED TO YOUR DOOR!

If you are anything like myself and highly absorbed and jacked in to the new digital era, you not only have little time for things like running to the photo store to develop your photos, but precious little time (or patience) to wait or even pick them up later. Fear not, worthy readers, for I have found an easy solution to your problem!

Now you can upload your photos online (same as you would have to at a store) to a very user friendly website called Shutterfly.com. Using this website, you can have your photos available to you anytime you have an internet connection. Their easy-to-use web tools let you do mild editing & cropping online and has really competitive pricing (similar to Wal-mart). The thing I like best is that a really large image (20"x30") is only $22! 8"x10"'s are $4. 4"x6"'s are only $0.19!

I think one of the coolest things about it is that you can do projects and even share them with others! That way, Grandma in Cleveland can see recent photos of her grandbabies and even buy the photos she wants and have them shipped directly to her! Post your holiday and graduation photos for distant relatives. It's a pretty versatile website and you really need to just go there and find out for yourself!

Today, I was going to talk about something else, but I saw this and it really pissed me off.

The St. Petersburg, Florida police department has resorted to Gestapo tactics in tackling one the most hard pressed issues facing the city: the homeless. These worthless degenerates and dreggs of society have finally had their come uppance at the hands of the law. The St. Petersburg PD regulated on a gathering of homeless people who have been squatting on a piece of property, living in tents, and generally trying to get by.

The police raided the place during daylight hours (presumably to make sure the residents weren't as drunk or high as they would be later) and DESTROYED the tents of the residents there with knives and blades! Now, I may not have lived in this country very long (only my whole life of 32 years), but I did think there was something called due process. I also didn't know it was legal to destroy without trial the possessions of an American.

I could really give a flip less if you care about the homeless or not. If this doesn't rattle your chain at least a little, then just kill yourself now cause I don't want someone as heartless as you voting anymore:



To the St. Petersburg Police & Mayor Dick Baker (Rick Baker): I hope you guys get your ass handed to you on a silver platter over the travesty of abuse of power. I really wanted to write you guys personally and tell you exactly what I thought about this, but for some convenient reason, the email contact list at the city of St. Petersburg website is disabled!

Having only learned about the holocaust in school, I can imagine that this is how Nazi Germany started out as well. What's next St. Pete? Why not cut the tires on their bicycles too so they can't go anywhere? Why not destroy their clothes too? Why just stop at their "homes"? C'mon St. Petersburg, just start executing the homeless. No one will care!

I hope there is a homeless advocate lawyer with dollar signs flickering behind their eyes. It is my wish that these homeless finally get the chance to buy homes because of the lawsuit executed on your city. I hope the city goes bankrupt because of it. I hope the mayor and all the mindless police that blindly followed orders have their pink slips handed to them and become homeless themselves. Fascist Nazis.

UPDATE: According to the St. Petersburg press, the reason for this commando style war on homeless in tents is because of fire safety. They claim that they were worried about the fire potential and this was an action by the fire marshall.

FREE IMAGE HOSTING

You probably already know this, tech savvy individual that you are. Just in case you don't, I'll tell ya. If you're trying to make you myspace page or other online profile look cool, you'll need some off site hosting of some of your images. One of the easiest I've found to use is PhotoBucket.com. It's free to use and you probably won't overuse the bandwidth constraints they place on you unless your page is getting a TON of traffic a day. The only thing I don't like about it is they limit your photo size to 800x600 now. They didn't used to. Them was the good ole' days.

NEW MEDICAL DISCOVERIES!

Okay, so maybe not immediately, but this does give me hope. Apparently, one of those mad scientists has been experimenting with infecting cancerous growths with a custom tailored virus that will wipe it out! Can you imagine getting a vaccine for your cancer just like you used to for polio? Read more about it here. You'll be amazed!

Discount Websites:

Today's blog is about those wonderful discount websites you can buy crap from. Of course, most of you know about E-Bay.

Did you know about Overstock.com? They have discontinued and overproduced items for severely discounted rates.

You should also check out NewEgg.com for electronics. They have some of the best prices on electronic equipment and it changes constantly. You never know what you'll find.

If you know of any others that are really worth while, please feel free to comment and post them here. Happy shopping!

I don't get infuriated that often, but sometimes I see these stupid kids and their stupid parents and just want to slap the crap out of both of them. First off, this "news story" has made national headlines and makes it seem like this family is entitled to something. Let me explain a few things about what I am talking about. "Little" Jerry Monaco, Jr. of New Hampshire and his family apparently visited Disney's MGM Studios in Orlando, FL. While having their photo made with a Tigger costumed character, it appears on the video that the Tigger randomly turns and strikes the kid right in the face! WOW! What an atrocity! Something should be done right?

Before you continue in my tirade, please view the video so we are both on the same page.

Excellent. As you can clearly see on the video, Jerry Monaco's hand snakes behind Tigger. As this happens, Tigger appears to be pulled backwards and toward Jerry. This is caused by the little bastard pulling on Tigger's tail. As innocuous as this may seem to you, I happen to have a little bit of insider information into the costuming at Disney, considering I worked in entertainment there for over a year.

You see, the Tigger costume is one of the most uncomfortable to wear. The reason for this is the tail belt that you have to wear. This belt has a metal plate that uses your lower back to maintain the rigidity of the tail. This metal plate is approximately 6" wide by 4" tall. It does have a thin foam padding on it but is strapped to your waist.

The problem happens when little spoiled children like Jerry Monaco, Jr. pull on the tail, sharply forcing this steel plate into the base of your spine, forcing you off balance. In the video, you see this happen DISTINCTLY. The hit does not come from anger, as the person in the Tigger costume sees mainly out of the nose. Tigger didn't even know where the little bastard's face was. I find it a little strange that Tigger's tail swings into view at the same time little Jerry's right hand does.

The thing that gets my blood boiling is this kid's beligerent father demanding apologies and even questioning the manhood of the guy behind the mask because he didn't come out and apologize himself. HEY JERRY MONACO: 1. Costumed characters ARE NOT ALLOWED to interact with guests outside of their costume. It's in the handbook. 2. YOUR SON owes Tigger an apology. Ass.

I know you've always wondered but were always afraid to ask. Where do Lego's come from? Are they part of an alien subplot to overthrow our civilization? Are they a by product of mining uranium? How do they stay together? Is it some sub-atomic glue? Well, the good news is that Business Week, the same people who brought you the stock market and Ross Perot, now show you how Lego's are made.
