This is Great!

Posted in Digg, fun by jak on March 31st, 2008

All I have to say is that these kids are my heros, I almost want to try it.

From MSNBC’s coverage of it:

WAUSAU, Wis. - Cars lining the street. A house full of young people. A keg and drinking games inside. Police thought they had an underage boozing party on their hands.

But though they made dozens of teens take breath tests, none tested positive for alcohol. That’s because the keg contained root beer.

The party was held by a high school student who wanted to show that teens don’t always drink alcohol at their parties. It has gained fame on YouTube.com.

This is Pretty Funny

Comic StripI just saw this on Digg and figured I should share it with the world.

Geocaching

Posted in Life, Local, fun by jak on March 23rd, 2008

My friend Spencer managed to get me addicated to geocaching. For those of you unfamiliar with the term wikipeida defines geocaching as “an outdoor treasure-hunting game in which the participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers (called “geocaches” or “caches”) anywhere in the world.” It’s pretty sweet and since we’re borrowing a GPS and doing it it’s getting us out of our houses on the weekends and is keeping us from just pointlessly driving around and greatening our carbon footprints (not that I care much) it’s nice to save on gas too. It’s pretty fun and I’d encourage anyone with a GPS and some spare time to go try it, it may prove to be your new weekend hobby as it is our’s.

Crayon Physics Deluxe

This game is absolutley amazing, I’m just awe struck by this video, I can’t wait to go play it right after I finish writing this.

Edit: Well I’m not going to lie, I’m sort of depressed turns out the beta version is a .exe meaning that I can’t run it on my mac so I can’t wait to get to school tomorrow ;). Oh and you can check out the site here.

Default is Awesome

Posted in fun, music by jak on March 3rd, 2008

Thanks to Pandora I found some bands that are a lot like one of my favorite bands of all time, Crossfade. From this I rediscovered how much I love Breaking Benjamin and I found a new band to love…Default. Now I’m addicted to them especially “It Only Hurts”.

Just figured I’d share that little tid bit with everyone.

Photo Sniper

A friend of mine just sent me this on AIM, apparently it’s a camera attachment that acts like a normal gun. I’ve gotta go check out the “Fotosniper”.

Edit: Ok turns out that camera is all one thing and I found the company’s website about it. Talk about a bad website too.

Facebook Invitations - The New Spam

Posted in Life, Technology, friends, fun, web 2.0 by jak on February 21st, 2008

While I was reading Mrod’s blog I came across his rant about Facebook and their application invites. In my opinion the application invites are the worst thing that Facebook could have ever implemented, how were applications not going to abuse it when it’s so easy to do? They’re not. At this point I think it’s time for Facebook to go on damage control and allow users to turn off the ability to be invited to applications by blocking them or by some other means.

Facebook needs to do something about this, the end.

Cook Two 12″ Pizzas in 90 Seconds?

Posted in Life, fun by jak on February 16th, 2008

Apparently this $250 little oven style thing will cook two 12″ pizzas in a minimal 90 seconds. Sounds good to me, I like my pizza and I like it fast!
