My work schedule for this month has been kind of crazy, but good. Coming in late, working late, going home late, staying up late, then sleeping in late. The day winds down a lot after 5pm, and I saw this video of dolphins blowing bubbles and playing with them. The video is posted at SeaWorld’s…
MagNext Virtual: A Safe, Fun, Family-Friendly MMORPG
For what is essentially a flash game, MagNext Virtual is a pretty amazing concept. It’s a family-friendly game where a player is represented by a small virtual ball (that you can customize, but more on that later). You move the ball around the space with your mouse, and you can visit the virtual shop, or…
Contest: Win a Trip for 4 to SeaWorld to Ride MANTA
Ted Murphy and some of the Izea gang went to SeaWorld recently to take a hard-hat tour of the still under construction awesome mega-coaster, Manta. The coolest thing about this new ride is that you are apparently riding laying straight out strapped to the underside of a giant manta, and you go through loops and…
Tomorrow Friday is 1234567890 – The End is Nigh!
Haha. Maybe. At 6:31 (P.M., EST) and 30 seconds tomorrow Friday, UNIX time will read 1234567890 and the apocalypse may very well be upon us. Actually, probably not. We won’t even really have any cool computer glitches to speak of, since Linux has been using 64-bit time for quite some time now, which means the…
Sick Again
I went to the doctor a week or two ago, and he said I was doing alright. And now wouldn’t you know it, I’m sick. I’ve been sick for about 24 hours now at least, and it’s no fun. Congestion, coughing, and sinus pressure. I am taking medicine, but of course that only gives me…
Netflix Watch It Now Works Well on Macs
This is probably old news to most of you, but I was pleasantly surprised to login to my Netflix account today and completely forgot that I was on my Mac, and I started to browse the Watch Instantly section and hit “Play” on the movie 21 – and it played! I believe the solution they…
Change Starts Today: Barack Obama 2009 Presidential Inauguration
We haven’t been too political around here lately, but today is the inauguration of Barack Obama as President of the United States of America. I just want to say, I’m really, really excited about what this presidency is going to mean to history. Not just because he’s the first african-american president we’ve ever had, but…
Lazy Days at the Villa and Dell Support
It’s Thursday, already? That just seems crazy. This vacation is flying by pretty quickly, and before you know it, I’ll have to get off my butt and go Christmas shopping. Yes, I know I’m crazy shopping at the last minute. It means I have to pay the “last minute” tax, since most places it’s already…
Cracked.com: If the Movie ‘Twilight’ were 10x Shorter and 100x More Honest
Cracked.com has a great post up – I’ve seen these before for other movies, but since I’ve actually seen ‘Twilight’ and wasn’t that impressed, this gave me a good laugh. “Twilight” is a teen romance vampire movie based on a novel by Mormon author Stephanie Meyer, that is apparently sweeping the estrogen-filled nation. Hey, at…
Ultimate Inspiration
It’s FRRIDAAAAYYYY! Woo hoo! Break out the streamers and party hats. The week is over! (Well, in two or so hours.) Perhaps you’re not as lucky as me to get two straight weeks off from work, and you’re struggling for motivation to get through the holidays. Look no further! I present to you, courtesy of…
