GTA4 Soundtrack Playlists

Brian Ferrell — Sun, 01 Jun 2008 04:34:56 -0000

I've painstakingly created a playlist for each radio station in GTA4. There are a few songs missing but hopefully I'll find those eventually and add them to the lists. If you want to help out, please let me know if you find either a 1) better version of a song, 2) version closer to the in-game version, or 3) song that's missing. Leave a comment here, on the specific playlist, or send me a message. Thanks, and enjoy!

Emo make you happy?

Brian Ferrell — Wed, 23 May 2007 17:33:56 -0000

After you watch Bryan's great video about emo kids, look at this picture, and maybe laugh a little.

TigerDirect sells breadmakers?

Brian Ferrell — Wed, 11 Apr 2007 16:29:02 -0000

I wouldn't have believed it, but there it was right in my email... kitchen appliances... from an internet computer store.

I've seen weird things at TigerDirect, but most of them actually relate to computers. Something I never expected to see - a 2-Pound Programmable Breadmaker. That's just weird.

But wouldn't you know it, from the page that has the breadmaker, there are links to other non-computer-related products. Apparently TigerDirect has become a one-stop-shop for everything electronics. Coffee-makers, ovens, wafflers, even a popcorn maker.

What will they sell next...

Jaxtr Live - Now it's Time to Iron out the Kinks

Brian Ferrell — Tue, 20 Mar 2007 22:38:13 -0000

Tie your cell phone to a voip service. I signed up cause I'm spontaneous like that. However, I still can't figure out how to pick *my* time zone (which happens to be the same as Jaxtr, so surely *they* have some way to get the correct time) I've looked up some of these and many of the "America" ones happen to be in Mexico, which, of course, is "America"... but then why have some labeled Mexico, Canada, and US?

Boise, America
Cambridge Bay, America
Chihuahua, America
Dawson Creek, America
Denver, America
Edmonton, America
Hermosillo, America
Inuvik, America
Mazatlan, America
Phoenix, America
Shiprock, America
Yellowknife, America
Mountain, Canada
BajaSur, Mexico
Arizona, US
Mountain, US

This list was found here. (Login required - also, it may be updated by the time you read this)

So... anyone know which one of these is Pacific Time?

Let's play Name That News!

This is a game where you try to find the person who's name is missing from the snippet below.

______ opened the box and found her dog's head inside. The box also contained Valentine's Day candy.

Vista gave me this story in my sidebar-news-feed-reader-thing even though I deleted the feed (which came pre-installed) a few weeks ago. Sick, twisted Vista...

Poor dog...

Glorious Brains!

Brain Maps

Brains are cool. If you've ever wanted to look at brains, now is your chance. This website has 50 terabytes of brain images. You can browse through a google-maps-like interface on the website or download an opengl based browser to wade through brains in a more google-earth-like way. Either way you look at it, this place has lots of brains behind it! They've got brains on the brain! It's a brain... oh just go check it out.

Great Links!

Brian Ferrell — Tue, 27 Feb 2007 22:15:05 -0000

First off we've got a wonderful recap of Mike Judge's latest effort, Idiocracy. This article summarizes the branding and graphic design throughout the movie.

Idiocratic Design

Next, an article with a great title. Makes ya wonder who comes up with these things...

Balls finally dropped into mud volcano

Finally, from an article yesterday about a new documentary on the supposed tomb of Jesus, the priceless quote: "Pastor Brick Wall of Victory Christian Life Center said he doesn't hold stock in the film's premise." .. standing 'firm and solid', 'never swaying', to 'hold up' his namesake. Seriously, I'm not making this up.

Have the bones of Jesus been found?

Drew's adventures in Second Life

Brian Ferrell — Fri, 23 Feb 2007 21:11:17 -0000

Drew from Toothpaste For Dinner tries out Second Life and reveals the seedy underbelly of the virtual world... or lack thereof.

Second Life is free to play, and I keep seeing people referring to it in the news, so I had to take one for the team and just dive on in. I knew it probably wasn't going to be intriguing when I got to the signup part and couldn't even make a one-word name. I had to use some fantasy-ass last name and I couldn't even use cusses. The best I could do was call myself Wenis.

Dinosaurs are great

Brian Ferrell — Fri, 09 Feb 2007 02:49:37 -0000

Yesterday's dinosaur comics is fantastic. In fact, today's is a thrilling sequel *about* thrilling sequels! All this talk about dinosaurs gets me thinking about that preview for that movie that had the T-Rex... yeah, that one.

The truth about my icon

Brian Ferrell — Thu, 08 Feb 2007 19:41:34 -0000

As some of you may know, my icon is not a picture of me. Yes, I know, "WTF Brian, that's not cool". I needed an icon.. so I just took one from someone else. No big deal because I will now remedy the situation with an icon of me in a funny hat. In fact, it's no less than the grandest of funny hats because, you see, I was the mad hatter at our "Mad Hatter Tea Party". There's more pictures of this fascinating adventure in wonderland in my photostream.

'Tis all. Farewell.
