A woman who made news around the world when she had five pups cloned from her beloved pit bull Booger looked very familiar to some who saw her picture: She may be the same woman who 31 years earlier was accused of abducting a Mormon missionary in England, handcuffing him to a bed and making him her sex slave.
If you’ve walked by some of the Apple stores and seen the cool snowflakes running on their screens - then run home to turn that one on your Mac… you might have been mad to find out you didn’t have it!
Here’s where to get it: http://www.alittlebitofnothingleft.net/snowfall/ - Enjoy!
What else would you really wear when you are grilling in the chilly fall months? A sweatshirt? That is so last year . . .
This blog entry is being written from 11,877 feet above sea-level and transmitted over the air via the magic of GPRS. (my phone has awesome signal from up here - probably because just about every cell phone tower in Utah Valley is within line-of-sight from here)
The hike up here is strenuous. The last few miles are definitely the hardest part of the hike. My butt hurts worse than a drunken sailor in san Francisco (they have uncomfortable bar stools over there)
There is another peak to the north of here that is slightly higher - up until 1970 this south peak was listed as the highest peak, but by then the trails already went up to here. If we really wanted to prolong this trip by a few hours, we could head over there, but I will save that trip for when I am actually in shape.
I’ll post some pictures later.
It’s hard to find a good Elvis wig, especially if you are looking for a non-traditional color like pink or baby blue. Luckily, a man in England has taken the time to design an Elvis wig you can knit up on your own. According to his website, “Knitted Elvis wigs are appearing across the world - from Wakefield allotments to the ‘Day Of Dada’ parade in New York City!” Since I don’t know what either of those are, that might explain why I have yet to encounter someone wearing one of these fine creations. Still, you might want to knit one up for yourself so that when they do hit their stride in the mainstream culture, you can proudly say that you were one of the first in your area to have one.
If you like Cherry-flavored things, such as Cherry Garcia or Cherry-flavored yogurt - you want to get your car keys ready so you can go to the store right when you get done reading this post. Nestle has produced a limited-edition of Cherry-flavored KitKats to go along with Valentines day. (The only connection to Valentine’s day being that they are pink, of course).
They are made of Cherry-flavored white chocolate, and are packaged in a suprisingly-addictive mini-size. (You can just keep eating them because “one more” isn’t very much…)
In doing background research for this post, we discovered that there are lots of exotic KitKat flavors. A long list of them is hosted at the wikipedia. Some of them are rather strange (Apple? (Japan) Blood Orange? (UK) Yubari Melon? (Japan)). Of course, the large variety of choices (Except for maybe the Green Tea flavored ones) make me want to move to Japan.
They had them in bags at our local Albertsons in an aisle with all of the other Valentine’s day candy. When the Valentine’s day stuff goes on sale, it would be wise to buy a truckload of these things in case some kind of war wipes out the factory that makes them before next year.
Quark XPress remains the industry leader page-layout ap (despite attempts by Adobe to shove InDesign down everyone’s throat). A free public beta is available - and will remain functional until March 31st. Go get your design on! (Both for Mac OS X and Windows)
I know all of you out there have been dieing for a bullet-proof jacket that is both trendy and protective. Nobody wants to go out in public and look like you are a member of a SWAT team - yet you still want some serious bullet-stopping power in case you get into the rough part of town (or a rapper’s Oscar-party).
Well, finally it is here. You can now get a Jean jacket that is bullet proof. They must have been working on this for nearly 20 years, because the style is straight out of the 1980’s. Sure, denim is back - but not this color denim. In a few years, I’m sure they’ll come up with some bulletproof hammer-pants to go with this getup.

I don’t know why anyone would want to sell this - but the guy must have come up on some hard times to want to sell his “one of a kind” Alien Spacecraft Detector.
What is he going to do now when aliens are within 8-10 miles of his house and he has no way to detect them?
Many alien spacecraft enter the earths atmosphere every year, but few are seen or detected.
Here’s how it works: (more…)
