Geek Weekend 2.0

Image
We got our nerd on this weekend for shizzle! Sam and Jessi arrived around 4PM and Sam brought his new PS3 with him. I like it. I will be getting that console probably in time for my birthday next year. I'm predicting a nice price cut, along with the possibility of Janine and I having HD in our future. So we'll see. The gaming was fun. It definitely is a slow loading console...which took up a lot of our game play, but I really enjoyed playing Resistance: Fall of Man, and other games. I look forward to the games coming out next year, most of all the new Metal Gear! We all gathered up after Janine got off work Saturday night and had dinner at Ruby Tuesday's. We had a good time there, pretty much hanging out until it was time for bed (but not after a little more last minute gaming). Sunday we got up pretty early. I think I got 5 hours sleep. Once everyone was up, we had breakfast at Aunt Sarah's and went to watch the new Harry Potter movie on IMAX. It is definitely the way ...

The Simpsons

I'm looking forward to taking Janine out tonight to watch The Simpson's movie. Here's a funny clip of Bart's prank phone calls to Moe's Pub.

Searching...

It doesn't take very long for people to notice that yes, I am knee deep in Google. I don't really use that as my primary search engine though. I use a lot of different algorithms. I want to go over some that I use, maybe I can turn you all on to something different. So what do I use Google for? My home page for starters. My iGoogle page is loaded with all the feeds, news, and humor that I need to start my browser day. I use Google Reader, which bunches all of my feeds in one neat place. You can see my Reader feed on the sidebar of this blog even. I use gmail because...well because I can. I got an early invite to join and I've been hooked ever since. To me it's one of the best web based email applications out there. And you all know Google has so much more going on. I feel like I'm one of their biggest lab rats, and I love it. Yahoo and I never got along. I love some of their services, like Flickr, but it just seems too, wooden for me. Their email client is also re...

3 Years Ago Today

I sat in front of my computer with a good friend and I stumbled on Blogger. I felt the impulse to start a blog and from that moment, I started my journey with The Lewis Show. The internet like my blog has evolved quite a bit from that day. I enjoy posting about my life, and I'm honored that you all enjoy the things I post and are entertained. Thank you all again for dropping by. I am greatly humbled. Happy birthday to my blog!

Weekend Update

After dinner at O'Charley's, our Friday night started at Platform 9 3/4 We met a huge line of people, Janine got her number and we waited in line. It was sort of entertaining, standing in line with large groups of teenagers. The big debate was MySpace vs. Facebook vs. Livejournal...I know, fascinating.. Once the witching hour came, the line slowly started to wind down, I like this pic that we took sitting on the curb before our number was called. This would set the pace for the rest of the weekend. Reading the new Harry Potter book...and it's a lot of book! The rest of the weekend, we took it easy. Zeus had the right idea. Sleep and be lazy. Very lazy. Topaz also had the right idea. Take it easy, enjoy the day with loved ones.

That's a lot. In light of my iconic 600th post, I just thought I'd show a stupid picture.

Open Letter to Richmond Drivers

Image
Dear Richmond Driver: You cannot drive. You have no driving ability. You have entirely too much going on in your life to put my life in danger. Every single day I slam on my brakes, I swerve, and I'm forced to accelerate to near reckless driving speeds to avoid your distracted ass. How on God's earth did you pass a driver's test? I want to share with you all some important rules for driving. Many of you have no idea about how to preform these simple tasks, so I'm going to dumb this down as much as I can: Merging - This is the act of accelerating with traffic and merging with oncoming traffic. Now I know this can be tricky, and I know many of you think that there is no room to merge, but there's a simple reason for that. You are going 25 miles per hour and you are trying to merge with traffic going 65 miles per hour. That is why it seems like that car won't move over. That car does not have to move over. That car just has to keep the posted speed and allow for y...
