• The Internets Administer - Torrent Throttle Edition

  One of the downsides of working for a giant megacorp is that they tend to lock down the computers tighter than a fourteen year old gymnast's ass. It's virtually impossible to install anything worthwhile without Administrator access. This becomes...

• The Internets Just Want A Tombstone - Live and Learn Edition

  We grilled pizzas for dinner tonight. Let me just say that grilling pizzas requires the ability to deftly control the temperature of the grill. Not such an easy thing to do with charcoal. We had four sections of Pillsbury pizza crust to work with. The... Posted Aug 14 2007, 09:50 PM by Pedro with | with 5 comment(s) Filed under: Art, Bacon, Chicago, Family Guy, Flash, Games

• The Internets Do Work In Advertising - Gots To Get Paid Edition

  I'm currently on a conference call where people are yelling at each other regarding music licensing. Awesome. Note that if you're not logged into the site you'll see some Google AdSense ads here and there. Click on them. But only if you're...

• The Internets Like To Sweep - Bird In The Hand Edition

  Work is slow and I am being forced to find ways to amuse myself. Craigslist is pretty much my savior right now. I'd say something about how the Cubs are totally awesome and a complete surprise, but everything I touch turns to shit lately so I'm...

• The Internets Are Alarmed - Off The Hook Edition

  My alarm system has successfully knocked out any and all phone connections from my house. It made a call to the alarm company (false alert) on Saturday and the system has been dead since then. Strangely enough, I still had intermittent DSL sync until... Posted Jun 12 2007, 03:43 PM by Pedro with | with 5 comment(s) Filed under: Flash, Games, Japan, Music, Odd Sodas

• The Internets Have The Fever - Pac Man Edition

  Notes from the weekend. Now in bullet point form!: Knocked Up is very, very funny. Usually the wheels come off of such movies about 45 minutes in. KU is solid for its entire running time (save for the Fantasy baseball scene. Maybe.) It is very hard to...

• The Internets Need Some Speedbooster (TM) - Throttled Edition

  My DSL is eating shit again. It is with a heavy heart that I say that I think I might have to get.... Comcastic. This saddens me, but at least the speeds will be 3x what I was getting with my throttled DSL. I knew there was a reason why the previous owners...

• The Internets Toss Some (Water) Salad - You Ask For a Miracle, I Give You The H.D.M.I. Edition

  Now that I finally have DirecTV installed, there's only one more piece left in my home theater puzzle. A HDMI switching reciever . The old Yammy has been good to me, but she just can't handle HD video switching. Anyone looking to buy a cheap,...

• The Internets Played Hang-On - Short Form Edition

  Client meeting looms. Time for minimum verbosity! As one of the families that had a Sega Master System instead of a NES back in the day, this work of art really speaks to me . Musings on Disney World Gay Unicorn Planet (video) This.. exists? The downfall...

• The Internets Expect Price Cuts - Hard Drive of 1996 Edition

  I have a really long rant about the new 'Elite' version of the Xbox 360 that launched last night , but it's boring and I don't really feel like typing the whole thing out. The gist of the arguments are: The new Xbox is $480 (!). When everyone... Posted Mar 28 2007, 01:30 PM by Pedro with | with 4 comment(s) Filed under: Flash, Games, Girls

• 9600 Baud Internets - SNESexy Edition

  Busy busy. So very busy. Plus the stupid NCAA tournament has completely sapped the bandwidth of BOTI's world HQ. Stuff It's like a taser powered by what looks like about 70 car batteries. Have fun with that. The top ten video games of all time... Posted Mar 15 2007, 02:56 PM by Pedro with | with no comments Filed under: Games

• The Internets Tasted Better Going Down - FCK TXT Edition

  God damn web based text editor just ate the fucking post. Mother bitch. I was wondering what the thrid thing to go wrong today was going to be. First I woke up to an unpleasant rumble in my stomach. Apparently something I ate last night is at war with...

• The Internets Can Detect Metal - Sorkin Free Eiditon

  The Internets at BOTI World HQ went tits up on Friday, ergo no post. Normally this wouldn't be that big of a deal as I could then actually get some work done. However that morning I got my new assignment at work. I will now be working for a large... Posted Feb 26 2007, 01:28 PM by Pedro with | with no comments Filed under: Autos, Games, Gas Prices, Humor

• The Internets Have Been Stinkpalmed - No, Not Really Edition

  For all of the asshats and selfish bitches that live in my building (put the cart back where you found it please. No one is going to look for it outside of your unit door), there are a few helpful people. Mostly these people populate the building's...

• The Internets in a Bizarre Love Triangle - Pocket Rocket Edition

  Apologies for missing the post yesterday. Work decided to interrupt happy fun Internet time with one of the most convoluted plan revisions I've ever gone through.
