Owiee!



...go ahead...point and laugh.
This is the second surgery I've had at the hospital and it went great...so far! I had IV sedation and I can hardly remember anything at all! Its like waking up and your kidney's are missing! Just kidding.

"Wait, Stand by, Do Not Pass Go, Do Not Spend $200!"

If you been waiting to go to the Apple store for a shiny new toy...i mean productivity device, wait a little longer. In the next couple of months Apple will sell their last remaining products on their shelves to make room for new products "Coming Soon!" Its Apple, so don't expect details on anything. Just wait. Rumors are flying about a new laptop, updated iphone touch (an external speaker would be nice), and updated nano. I'm so glad my birthday is in November!
The pic above is the Apple store in Tokyo. It brings back alot of memories. That bad boy is 5 stories full of Apple goodies. Yes everything writtin is in Japanese, even the products you buy, but you just have to get the employees to switch the software to english and you're good to go! Tokyo was 45 minutes away but worth it once we were inside.

You're so cruel...Eggs are people too!


This is one of those things that you have to share if you see it, I couldn't resist...too funny! I hope you have a great breakfast!

French Body Poppin



Way cool and entertaining dance. I watched an episode of "America's Got Talent" and wasn't impressed. I think the French have us beat here! There's lots of different styles of "body poppin" but this has to be one of the coolest group shows I've ever seen. Go ahead...watch it again!

Its pretty hot!

Its pretty hot over here in Maryland!!! Just kidding, its not THAT hot, but the pic is funny!

Another reason why I'm staying Navy...


I'm off today...and still getting paid. I will not be charged a day of leave, or sick day either. I'm simply being "compensated" for going to work this past Sunday. In the Navy we call that a "Comp Day." I do recall in the civilian sector if you have to work overtime you get paid for that overtime work, but you don't get back that time.

Marisa's New Toy

Thank You grandma Liz and uncle Mark and aunt Sara for Marisa's new toy! As you can see she really enjoys it! You failed to mention I would have to blow it up with my own two lungs! Thats ok though, we still love you!

Bulletproof Clothes

Miguel Caballero has just released his latest line of bulletproof clothing. Among his clothing line are blazers, coats, and polo shirts that can stop a 9mm slug starting at $7,500. What if you get shot in the face? ...duck? There's goes $7k down the drain.

While we're on the subject...if you haven't seen this video yet check it out.

"Hand over the coffee! And nobody gets hurt!"


i Kill you!

Those cool coffee mugs are at MollaSpace for $15 bucks.
Looks like a great mug to go along with my international collection.

Faucet Fountain

Now this faucet attachment might be worth its $2.99 asking price at Amazon. This would make brushing your teeth so much easier, especially for kids! If I couldn't taste the chlorine in my tap water I'd consider using it as a water fountain but being in maryland I'm going to have to pass.

Can I still get a McGriddle?

Don't you hate when you get into McDonalds and find out that you're 14 seconds late for breakfast and you instantly have to prep your stomach for a fresh greasy burger? Well now you don't even have to bother stopping, parking and going inside...


The egg opens when breakfast starts at 6:30am and closes at 10:30am when breakfast is done! This particular McD's is in Chicago.

A new kind of pain.

Today was the first time I was able to be with mommy and marisa when marisa got her shots...it was not fun for any of us! I've never seen Marisa in pain like that. I'm sure it is with every parent, that that kind of pain goes deep. We all survived though, and as you can see Marisa is up and walking just like normal...taunting me with the remote control!

Its Summer Time Guys!

I'm ready to go...

...When do we leave again?

Give the man a break!

The story linked above was posted on Yahoo today. I'm glad somebody decided to write up this story period. Everybody is quick to jump on him when he does something wrong, I hope this story is echoed throughout the season.

This is one of the coolest hand-puppet shows i've ever seen. Its a little old but still cool.

Light-Changing Shower


This is pretty cool. An LED light attached to the piping of your shower changes colors according to the temperature of the water. Naturally blue is for cold...don't jump in yet! and red is for hot...good to go!
I bet little kids would love to take a shower EVERY day now!

All for $39.99 at ThinkGeek.com
  • Blue light means the water is cold; Red light means it has warmed up to 89° F (32° C).
  • No batteries needed - powered by internal turbine.
  • Installs in minutes to standard shower pipes.
  • Includes a Flow Regulator that limits maximum water flow to 2.5 gallons per minute at 80 psi (might affect Shower Light performance depending on your water pressure).
  • Approx. 4" in diameter

Nail Watch

This is from CNET Asia. Imagine not having to wear a watch anymore! this clock embedded on your nail is (in theory) water proof and if you're in the dark all you have to do is "click" the tip of your fingernail to make it glow. If this is the alternative, i'll stick with the watch!

I remember a couple of years ago people were talking about cell phones replacing watches all together. That really hasn't happened. But I do forget how many clocks i have at my disposal during the day: my watch, my computer, my ipod, and cell phone.

The Voice of Pikachu



Its always weird to see a cartoon's voice coming out of a human's face. This lady is no exception. I wonder how many times a day she has to say, "Pikachu?"

FotoFlexer! Not Photoshop


I hate that Photoshop is anywhere from $100-$600 bucks! If you're looking for a free alternative to photoshop, FotoFlexer is pretty easy and fun to use! Just look what I did to my wife! They have plenty of video tutorials and instructions to help explain how the tools work.

Zotes Sunflower Seeds

OOhhhh, I love sunflower seeds! Uncrate posts that Zotes Sunflower Seeds serves up seeds in the following flavors: Salt & Peppper, Roasted & Salted, Dill Pickle, Beer Baked, Hot Wings, Spicy Nacho, Tequila Lime, Jalapeno, Garlic Roast, and Energy. I'm not sure what Energy would taste like but for $2 bucks I'd like to try Hot Wings and Spicy Nacho! I'll let you know how that goes!

STEPBROTHER


For some reason I can't stop watching the commercials and ad's for this movie. I wish I could get together with all my brothers (stepbrothers and half-brothers) and enjoy this one!

This is Hacked!



Created to be the only USB drive no one will steal! Who would steal this? Seriously! It was intentionally created to look like a normal USB cord with its wiring cut, but in reality its a 2GB USB drive. If you're interested in buying this torn USB cord...I mean USB drive jump here http://www.worldwidefred.com/hacked.htm.

The End of an Era...at least in my house.


The CD's and DVD's pictured above are all we own. I can't remember when the last time we bought a physical CD or DVD. Our CD collection is slowly making its way to CD heaven but our DVD's will stick around.
When's the last time you've bought a hard copy of either?

New Navy PT (Physical Training) Uniforms...


Unfortunately, these dorky new uniforms will be mandatory to wear when doing PT (physical training) on base or in a group. They're too plain! I could've bought this set at Wal-Mart! I know there are some creative people out there with better ideas than this! I guess no one wanted to stand up and say something. While I'm ranting, I'd much rather be wearing a PT uniform that looks more like the one below made by Nike. This one is sold through Navygear.com and is targeted towards the mids in Annapolis.



Which one would you want to wear?

For the Busy Fisherman

I know plenty of guys who would love this thing. Don't expect to catch any fish larger than the one in the image. Me personally...I like the pen/USB drive combo. This is another one from iwantoneofthose.com ($45)...great site if you haven't bookmarked it already!

For Man Haters

This has to be one of the coolest kitchen items I've ever seen. Its an actual knife block that includes all of those knives. You can find this poor guy on iwantoneofthose.com, unfortunately it comes from across the pond and us American's can't buy it. The site specifically says "Not for USA." Boooo!
On the other hand...
This guy can be had for approximately $13.48 US. He'll do for me!

Today's "i-pocalypse"


I hope the "early adopters" learned a lesson today when they purchased their iphones this morning. Apple's servers crashed worldwide as everyone was trying to activate their new shiny toys. New gadgets always break...people never learn.

I love Jack in the Box

Ever since we've been away from Texas we have missed good 'ol Jack in the Box dearly. The closest one is 400 long miles away in North Carolina. Boo! I could really go for a couple of fried tacos or a heart stopping Bacon Ultimate Cheeseburger!

You can find all kinds of bargains, coupons, deals for anything on this site. If you're about to go to the mall take a look at this site first, you never know what you'll find that could be of use.

Deal? ...or No Deal?

Me and my wife had to divide up some "baby tasks." She hated to change the "stinky" diapers, me too! I wrestled with our baby during bath time. For some reason she never sat still for me when I gave her a bath, so bath time was not fun for me. Something had to be done, we made a deal...

V.S.

So here's the deal we made: My wife would bathe our baby everynight if I would change her stinky diapers whenever I was home to be able to. Even deal right? NOOO! I've been off from work for a solid week. This deal really stinks!
