Talk Is Cheap

The impossible has happened.  I got a job outside the business.  This afternoon, I was officially hired by Burlington-Northern-Santa Fe Railroad, starting on April 15.  I’m not working on the trains…yet…perhaps down the road I will.   But for now, it’s a start.  Will I miss the business?  I don’t know…it’s hard to say after doing this for over 11 years.   I’ll miss the people I work (and have worked) with.   I won’t miss the smokey enviornment, hustling for tokes or the rude people.  I’m looking forward to the challenge though.  So after dinner…it’s off to the printer to do what I thought I’d never do, give notice to get out of the business.  I wish nothing but success to all y’all and I will be by.

Pretty cool pictures.. switching between pictures taken with slightly different perspective, makes the images appear in 3D..

See more of them here… ok they aren’t amazing.. what do you want for 6 o’clock in the morning?

Scientist trying to cure cancer, burns water.  Looks like it will need a lot of testing and money to find out what applications it might be useful for, if any.  Somehow I feel it’s going to be fairly inefficient but who knows yet?  That’s right, nobody.

Yet.

The Darwin Awards is a website that chronicles a list of people that have improved our gene pool by killing themselves in acts of stupidity.  (or rendered themselves sterile)

The list has reported on the demise of these fools since 1991, circulating on Usenet and emails.  There are several criteria for making the list.. like dying or being rendered sterile, how foolish the activity was, being at least 18 and doing it to yourself.

Well.. you’ll see.  Enjoy if you haven’t already.

A man put a 2 year old in their clothes dryer.. that had been running already, as punishment for throwing a tantrum.

Well.. just read it here.

He’s not the only retarded idiot.. happened in Perth, Australia a year ago and here in Kansas 8 months ago too..

Content aware image resizing.. incredible dynamic altering of images.

Ok.. speaking of Donkey Kong.. there’s a new documentary coming out about the decade long rivalry of two guys contesting the ultimate Donkey Kong high score.  Read that again.. there’s a movie coming out about Donkey Kong high scores.

Ok read about it for yourself here.

I’m looking forward to Dark Knight.  It looks like it might be good.  I hope it’s something I can take Eric to.  He really really really really really likes (his words) Batman.

3:10 to Yuma is another I wanna see.  I really really really really likes me a good western.

This live “animation” halftime show is pretty cool.. I was impressed by it not totally messing up and falling into chaos.

Japanese Rube Goldberg machine.. you don’t really need to understand a word they are saying.

Not Japanese.. but it’s made from a Japanese car.. The Honda “Cog” video is pretty cool too.. uses parts from Honda Accord to make a two minute contraption.

Some of you probably heard this.. I was just thinking about this the other day and I found the article online.  Awesome story. of the ultimate bad beat..
