I just checked, and it turns out I have a mass of 413 lbs. Thankfully I also happen to be shaped like a perfect cube with a side length of about 12 ft 5 in, so I displace roughly 1920 cubic feet of air.
I leave it as an exercise for the reader to determine what my scale registered.
Yes, this does mean I am about 0.345% as dense as you are. I think it may be all the methane.
On a happy note, I seem to have about doubled my aerobic capacity over the last 6 weeks.
On a sad note, it looks like I am going to have to double or triple my (admittedly light) workout routine if I am ever going to reduce my side length to 11 ft 5 in and thus hit my goal weight. Either that or (shudder) diet.
If you are a fan of steam punk and masturbation, then this may be the video for you. Video is NSFW but because of what is said, there is no sex or nudity. Now that I think of it, this blog is NSFW or anyone really.
My mission to make a healthier McDonald’s Sausage Egg Mcmuffin turned out quite well I think. I used veggie patties (Safeway brand), whole wheat English Muffins, light cheese, Heart Smart butter substitute and regular eggs. I even made the egg cylinder like.

…shouldn’t be able to look at other people’s MySpace profiles.
For the uninitiated, this is my most popular blog on MySpace. So much so that I had updated it 6 times. Well, today I went to update it a 7th time and MySpace kept screwing up…so it moves here to TANcast in it’s entirety (including the 7th update)! Enjoy!
Listen, I’m sorry you’re hiding from some guy you shot down in a bar last week, but why should you get to look it me and me not get to look at you? What makes you so damn special?!
And also…if your profile picture looks like this…
How private are you, really? Those are your boobs, lady! If you’re trying to remain anonymous and avoid attracting attention…perhaps shoving your ta-tas all up in the camera may not be the best solution.
And that goes for you smart asses who just make your pictures private. Don’t post pictures on line if you don’t want people to see them. They’ve got a place for you to store your private pictures…it’s called the photo album in your closet, turd burgler!
Pardon me while I rant a bit, Software is broken and let me tell you why.
I was at a bar with a friend once and he casually mentions that playlists on iPods will update on the fly. I thought he was crazy cause I had owned an iPod Touch for few months and I never saw my playlists update on the fly, I always had to sync with iTunes before my playlists would update on my iPod.
Until today that is. I had created a new pretty simple Smart Playlist, it had maybe 3 criteria. I noticed today as I listened to Podcasts, they would disappear from my play list. This had never happened to me before and I was excited. So I get home and start Googling this to see how I could make my other playlists do this.
I came across a few posts that explained why my other playlists weren’t behaving in the same way. So I spent way too much time tweaking and testing playlists to see if I could get them to update on my iPod as opposed to having to sync them to iTunes before the playlists would update. I finally got it to work but then my playlist wasn’t exactly the way I would like it to be.
Which brings me to my point. Why can’t I have my cake and eat it too? It seems far too often we have to work for our software then it working for us. Why do I have to not have this and not have that to make a feature work? It should just work and if it doesn’t work someone should fix it, simple as that. Now I don’t know how to code software, so in reality in may not be that simple but I am sure someone at Apple has the know how to make it work right. Yes I know they have a list of things they need to do and this particular feature is probably not high on the list but why have the feature at all then? I know they can’t please everyone and make iTunes do whatever you want it to but if you add a feature make sure it works and works right.
This problem is not specific to iTunes I see this type of stuff in so much software. All I ask is make software make sense, make sure features work and make it uniform. We have database software at work and depending on what part of the database you are in, you can hit enter to return a result or you can’t. No rhyme or reason why it works some places and not others, people just shrug and go “It has always been that way,” which seems like such a cop-out to me. We make software, it does what we tell it and if it doesn’t, we bend it to our will.
Sure I want awesome features but I also want features that work exactly as advertised. So I think when you make software, make it simple at first then as you perfect it (yes I know all software has bugs and problems) add on to it. Don’t just throw a bunch of half ass features at me and assume I will be happy.
I know what I am saying is probably not new but I wanted to get it off my chest.
Below is a pic of one of my first tape players which could hold 90 minutes of music if you got one of those extra length tapes. Also in the pic is in my iPod touch which can hold days of music, photos, video and it can connect to the internet to feed my canjun midget porn addiction.
So I was in San Francisco with some friends drinking it up and I came across the parking sight below. That is one fucked up sign. I bet they want you to look at it and go “fuck it” and park there, then soon as you leave they swoop in and write you a ticket.
