While foraging the web for interesting stuff, I came across an article on Gizmodo about using Google to hunt up mp3s instead of using the ever-wary P2P method. If you use the following search terms: -inurl:(htm|html|php) intitle:”index of” +”last modified” +”parent directory” +description +size +(wma|mp3) and include a quoted bit in there about a [...]

Sax Player Invents Instant Water Boiler
Posted in life hacks, news on January 31, 2008 | 2 Comments »
A saxophone player from New Zealand claims to have invented a device that boils water in seconds using a certain vibration technique that isn’t really elaborated upon yet. Apparently though, he invented it around 30 years ago. Full story here. I’d buy one, just to take it apart maybe =D

Kinda deviating from the single random image post, I came across this series on FFFFound.com, which are actually just bookmarks coming from this amazing site..

Halo 3: Stray Chopper Wheel Splatters Sniper
Posted in halo 3, video, video games, youtube on January 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Although technically I stole the video off Bungie Favorites, I edited it and got a lot more angles on it, almost in a story kind of way. A guy throws a plasma grenade toward a warthog turret that’s shooting him, but it lands on a nearby chopper instead, blowing it to pieces. One [...]
Halo 3: Turret Gunner Kills Laser at Last Possible Second
Posted in halo 3, video, video games, youtube on January 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I swear I should have gotten this double kill, but the turret guy had on his lucky slippers or something, because he killed me almost exactly as the laser fired — so the laser part went through the warthog but did no damage. Sucks to be me!
Halo 3: Double VIP-Kill Assassination
Posted in halo 3, video, video games, youtube on January 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
One of the few times I could claim to have gotten a double kill via VIP assassinations — and on video no less =P Kinda cheap way to do it, though, considering there’s only two people on a team and once one VIP dies, the one remaining guy becomes the new VIP immediately in [...]
Halo 3: Errant Rocket Spirals Away Forever
Posted in halo 3, video, video games, youtube on January 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Its was your regular poorly-driven Rocket Race, when, up on the high ridge in Sandtrap, the Green team knocked us out of the way, so I fired one back at them — but one of the mines popped up before the rocket got there, and.. well, made the rocket go backwards for a second, then [...]
Halo 3 Video: Elephant Goes Berzerk and Launches Guest
Posted in halo 3, video, video games, youtube on January 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I was playing a 3-player matchmaking session with 2 local friends and I glance over and one of them (a girl, no less) is suddenly way up in the air somehow! I go back to the theatre later and check out what happened — I’m still not sure how it happens, looks like the [...]
Game: Monkey Kick-off (repeat)
Posted in beat my score, crybaby, flash, games, video, wtf on January 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I know this is a repeat, but my friend Geoff got a 10,670 distance kick that just needed to be posted — the first time the ball hits the ground after being kicked is in the THIRD land zone away. My lousy score of 5200-something got to’-up from the flo’-up.

Disabling Vista’s DEP (Data Execution Prevention)
Posted in advice, heads up, ranty mcranterson, words, wtf on January 25, 2008 | 13 Comments »
While it’s a nice idea that your computer will prevent a program from running some suspicious software that could really mess things up, Windows Vista’s DEP (Data Execution Prevention) just needs to get the frack out of my face on certain programs. I was trying to publish a Windows Movie Maker movie to post [...]
