Down On The Street In Chicago

I am fucking sick of fucking beach volleyball.  It's boring and the matches take fucking forever and I don't know why NBC puts it in such a sweet programming spot EVERY FUCKING NIGHT.  More of the stuff like last night's pole vaulting coverage please.  But play the whole fucking event at once and don't slice it to ribbons.  Gah.  Fucking NBC.  No upfront monies for you!  But the chicks dig it.  Right?

I'm going to blatantly steal a page out of Jalopnik and there 'Down on the Street' series.  I've been seeing too many interesting cars on the road not to share.  Unfortunately they will all be shity pictures taken from my HTC Mogul, but, hey, at least they're not taken from my old T610.  Lost that one in a bar about three years ago.  Man, what a great phone that was.  And... digression.  Anyway, I spotted this monstrosity next to my building the other week.  It's not every day you see a three axel Toyota FJ Cruiser.  Would have been better had it not been slathered in advertising decals, but hey, six wheeled FJ.

  • Here's a strange music video that was inescapable when I was in Ireland int the mid 90s.  Also:  I kind of like that Katy Perry song.  Is that a bad thing?
  • Did you pick up a Nintendo Wii and get all excited about it and play Wii Sports for like two weeks then never pick it up again?  Me too.  Lifehacker has a quick hack that will enable homebrew (read as pirated games) and DVD playback on the tiny white box.  Actually they don't go out and say that the hack will allow pirated games to play but it wouldn't be that hard to find out.
  • 5ives is back with a funny one
  • First it was cutting the landline cord for cell phones.  The next trend appears to be cutting the DSL/Cable cord for EVDO modems.  I'm not quite there yet.  Too expensive, too slow and bandwidth caps.  However if I had one that work paid for I'd probably find a way to make it work.  Might make bittorrent a bit of a problem though.  Too bad all of my neighbors know enough to encrypt their wifi.
  • Best chess board ever
  • Wacky Packages!
