Nooboarding
Jan 31st
Did I tell you how much I love weekends? I also love snowboarding -- new found hobby and great way to stay in shape (also a great way to break some useless body parts we are all carrying). My friend Horea and I went to my mountain retreat this weekend and practiced some basic snowboarding maneuvers (falls). Luckily for you we got it all on tape:
Also the not so cool version.

Magic Fireballs are AWESOME!

This video teaches you how to make your own magic fireballs with a piece of cloth, some string, and lighter fluid! Check them out, they’re freaking awesome and don’t look like you can actually burn something with them. I’m heading to the hardware store to pick up the supplies I need and I’ll update you if they’re as fun as they look.
NEWSFLASH: I burnt the fcuking house down.
Mug Displays The Way You Like Your Brew
Jan 7th
The Drink Selector Mug ($24) is a receptacle for hot liquids that has three metal bands around it. The top band is turned to indicate if you prefer coffee or tea. The second band indicates your milk preference (breast, etc.), and the third your sugar. Now I don’t know about you, but my top selection will always be tea. 
Drink Selector Mug ensures a perfect brew, every time [dvice]
First rant of 2008
Jan 2nd
I hope everyone had a great seasonal break and a very well executed leap from the past to the future. May 2008 bring you joy, happiness and a lot of things you dream of. As usual with such occasions, other people say things better than I do so:
Cherish your yesterdays, dream your tomorrows but live your todays.
Thank you, Phillip Vandervoort. 
And so we get to the order of business. I would like to thank 3/4th of my address book for sending me chain mails and 2/3rd of my IM list for sending mass messages, ‘which they usually don’t do but hey you never know’, so in the past year:
- I’ve won at least 5 big lottery tickets, who’ve apparently gotten my e-mail address because some friend enroled me. Party invitations will follow as soon as the cash comes in!
- About 150 times, my IM account would have been deleted unless I would forward a message to all people in my contact list, for which Bill Gates (who is still giving away his fortune) then would donate 1 cent per email I’d receive back, and I have received many!!
- I have accumulated 1000 years of bad karma and have died about 50 times for all the e-mails my spam catcher actually caught and thus they never reached me, unfortunately. So I could not take the appropriate actions.
I think it was a good year, and I expect 2008 to be at least as good. And by the way:
IF YOU DO NOT COPY-PASTE THIS POST WITH YOUR LEFT HAND IN AN E-MAIL IN THE NEXT 10 SECONDS AND SEND IT TO AT LEAST 500 PEOPLE, A GIANT DINOSAUR FROM SPACE IS GOING TO EAT YOUR FAMILY TOMORROW AT 5.30 PM SHARP, NO MATTER WHAT TIMEZONE YOU ARE IN.
