Obama Twisting His Moustache?

So, the latest republican characterization of Senator Barack Obama is that of a mustache twisting villain from the 1800s?

If you are lucky enough to live in one of the battleground states of Ohio, Minnesota, Michigan, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, New Mexico, or Colorado, you probably were greeted at your mailbox this week with this flier.



So, just by the looks of it, I am guessing it means Barack Obama ties baby carriages to um ... train tracks?

Swap Houses!

Holy Crap, I am TOTALLY doing this!

Two families swap houses, and it's Free! You stay in mine, I stay in yours.

http://www.homeexchange.com/

And what sucks.. I had this idea a long time ago and didn't write the site! Laziness sucks.

Here's the list of homes that users would like to swap for a house in Orlando, FL.

PATAGONIA, Argentina



BEIJING, China





French Alps



Cape Town South Africa

Now THAT'S a Burger!

CHILI'S JALAPEÑO SMOKEHOUSE BACON BIG MOUTH BURGER*

Extra thick-cut applewood smoked bacon topped with smoked cheddar cheese, crunchy tortilla strips, jalapeños, mayo, shredded lettuce, tomato and onion. Served with jalapeño-ranch dressing.

That is unless you can get your hands on THIS burger.

Sanford & Son Mac Pro

I stumbled upon this article recently about Cloning a Mac Pro for 1/3 the price.



I've already been working on a new Vmware Esx Server fileserver for my house, so I thought to myself, why not use the "guts" of the mac pro workstation! That way, I can not only use it for all my media downloading, converting and storing, but I can use it for a nice high end workstation as soon as all the kinks (and drm) are worked out of Apple's plans to allow virtualization of OS X. Grin.

Since the Mac Pro uses an intel 5000 series dual 771 chipset, my choices were the 5100, 5400, or 5000x chipsets, I decided on the 5100 so that I could use the cheap DDR2 ram I already own in my other boxes.

It seems newegg has some open box boards for a little over $200!!



If I start with one 45nm harpertown Xeon for $220, I am still only up to $400, less than I can get for selling some of my other old junk! ;) (or at least that's what I'll tell my wife) And still be able to scale up to another processor later on as I spin up more VMs.

And if I use this ~ $320 case, and this Adaptec raid card I found used on eBay, I will be able to just use the dozen or so 500gig drives I have now but scale up to 20 or 30 terrabytes using 1 or 1.5TB drives!




Now get in the in the kitchen and fix your Aunt Esther a fish-head sandwich!

SOBIESKI - WÓDKA POLSKA

I had a chance to try a chance to try a new vodka over the weekend, Sobieski - WÓdka Polska or, Sobieski Polish Vodka. New to the U.S.A. but one of the best selling premium vodkas in the world, and cheaper than Smirnoff!?!

How can a Polish dude not like that?

I know where YOU at

I was trying to find my wife the other day, and I remembered those "I know where You at" commercials. I started looking in to the service, but it turns out Sprint calls it "Family Locator Service" and charges $9.99 for it Per Month!

I looked a little more, and sure enough there is a free version at http://www.mologogo.com/. I signed up and downloaded the Windows Mobile flavor, and now, whenever I log on to the site, I can see the last reported GPS version location of my phone at all times!




The service has a feature to add "friends" to your account so that you can see where all of them are, or even send out tweets with your location, or your proximity to your friends on Mologogo/twitter.
