man.. apparently, today was the day of crazy accidents.. first, a drunk, one-armed driver hits 1 fire hydrant, a flower shop, and 19 cars in san diego.. and then.. this lady drives her SUV into a pool.

BEE Happy!

yet another flash game to waste your time. enjoy.

[thanks andy]

Need 9,000 Ladybugs? Amazon’s got ‘em.. Can’t think of why you’d ever need 9,000 Ladybugs?? Check out the user reviews…

hey! check it out.. the google doodler is also a dennis! an asian dennis, no less.. man, we’re everywhere.

Found this over at MeFi… A 20-something-year-old dude (24, to be exact, according to his friendster profile) goes to the Prom with a 17-year old high school girl — all for the sake of journalism. It’s a good read.. Man.. she was just barely born in the Reagan-era. Boy do I feel old.

My favorite bit of the story:
“In their formalwear the girls look much older than they are; they remind me, I can’t help but note, of the maniacally tweezed women who populate the type of bars I stridently avoid. The guys, meanwhile, look even younger and goofier than usual in their tuxes: gawky, a little helpless even, as if they’d raided the closet of some extinct species of older man who roamed the earth in 1987, before mysteriously vanishing.”

So, the US Army just redesigned their combat uniforms, incorporating lots of suggestions given by their soldier in the field (sounds like the addition of body armor presented new design requirements that were addressed with the new uniforms). In any case, I actually really like the way the new uniform looks.. the digitized camouflage looks great, and I love the mandarin collar.. Now I just have to figure out how to get my hands on one…

Aha.. CNN also has an article on the new uniforms…

we just got back from a grand weekend in vegas… good times.

so, i’m waiting at the elevators for everyone to come down, and naturally, i’m drawn to the slot machines nearby.. i pop $20 into a machine, and a janitor dude comes by and tells me that just last week, someone hit the jackpot but only played $1, instead of the $3 max. i take this to heart, and begin playing the max $3 bet.. i lose $18, without winning anything, which leaves $2 in the machine. i think for a sec whether or not to add the $1, decide not to.. and hit the jackpot. whoohoo! the first slot machine i played, and i hit the jackpot granted, had i played a buck more, i woulda won the progressive (which was like $1000), but since i subsequently lost all of the winnings on the craps table (and a rousing game of “all in” casino war), i guess it’s all a wash..

all in all, it was a fun weekend. went wakeboarding on lake mead, clubbing at rain, and buffeting at mandalay.. and of course, that’s not the whole story cuz “what happens in vegas stays in vegas”.

aileen took what must be the best picture ever of jablow in vegas.. he looks quite happy.

donna and ben got married!! and here are the pics… the wedding was in ithaca at cornell, and it was great to be back in the ol’ campus. so much has changed… trees are taller, new buildings have been built.. the wedding was great, and it was great to see everyone again.

best wishes to donna and ben..

GameSpot put a featured link to the new Karaoke Revolution Volume 2 trailers from E3.. I’m a big fan of the first Karaoke Revolution (yah, I’m an atypical PS2 user, I think).. i love Amplitude too… so I’m looking forward to getting some more songs with volume 2.

bud sent this to me cuz it reminded him of me. hmm. he stopped it after “England: 1 Other Team: 0″..

I’m at “England: 17 Other Team: 0″.. ok, i think i’m getting annoyed with this now. w00t!

ok.. for some reason, i’ve been overusing w00t! as an exclamation for the past, like, two days.. i think i’m really starting to overdo the w00t!-ing though. people are getting annoyed with me.

and.. thinkgeek has a w00t! tshirt!

w00t!

ok.. so it’s still in its early, early stages (as in, it’s really ugly, and there’s only 1 real post right now).. but, check out celebrity gear watch. I’m not really sure what the hell I’m gonna do with this site, but it’s kind of fun to post the pics of celebrities if I can tell what kind of cool gear they have… who knows, maybe i’ll even compile it into some sort of database.. w00t!!

like.. OMFG!!! i’m like soooo happy that.. like..lindsay lohan and hilary duff have.. like.. finally ended their feud!!! i was so worried that they didn’t get along and stuff… like.. yay!!!
