    Interviewed for a tv show

    I dont know where else to post this, but yesterday, I was around the Covent Garden area in London and a few people with a tv camera asked me to do a quick interview for some show. They asked me like 10 British slang phrases and asked me what I thought they meant. I think I interepreted then all...

    The Demonic Confidence Diary

    I'm doing this little project called Demonic Confidence. The basic idea is that you do increasingly socially daring things for 30 - 60 min per day for 21 days. It starts off pretty small and builds up to be horrifyingly ballsy by day 21. You arn't supposed to know what is coming next, so if you...

    Hi Def ESF Videos

    So I'm going to try to upload at least 1 video a week of ESF videos. I feel that the lack of high quality ESF videos by people with experience on Youtube is an issue. Here is my first submission (720p available via non-embedded video): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxQWajzfX-A Subscribe or...

    Anyone have an ATI 5000 series card? Any comments on its usability? I'm considering a triple monitor gaming set up, but is it worth it? Three monitors or one 30" monitor?

    Loveline Crank Call

    A friend and I made a crank call last summer to Loveline, a sex-based talk show. It was never revealed to the hosts that the call was fake. Hilarity ensues. Content is a tad bit NSFW... part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TeMr-wbJ_40 part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IddYjulkSYo

    Obama the Secret Nazi

    Several times in the past, I've heard people trying to explain why Obama is the new Hitler. And every single time, I can point out immensely faulty logic within the first 5 seconds of watching their flapping gums (I seriously tried to understand their frame of view). I don't even get why they...

    GNU Grub issues

    I used to have a duel boot between Vista 64 and Fedora 11. I had some issues with Fedora that required a format. After formatting the Fedora 11 partition, GNU Grub would load. After figuring out the commands I needed to boot Windows, I figured merging the remaining partitions might get rid of...

    Optional's Thread of Turds

    Every once in a while I get bored and make something. I just figured I'd post them as I make them. Don't expect anything good or regular (that's what she said, hey yoooooo). This is a wallpaper. It's a screencap from a movie called Blue Velvet (really good by the way). This is slight NSFW (no...

    Any one have any old videos of matches from the upper level players? I have one video grOOvy made a while ago (I'll post it soon), but I was just wondering if anyone had anything interesting. It'd be nice to stock pile the good stuff for nostalgia's sake.

    Motherboard dead?

    I think my motherboard might be DOA. I had everything plugged in, turned on PSU. No phase LED lights on Mobo turning on, no PSU fan turning. I unplugged every cable except for the ATX12v/ATX power cables to the Mobo and same thing. Any ideas? Mobo: GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3R LGA 775 Intel P45...

    On RAM, CPUs, and FSB

    So I was getting ready to buy that rig I posted about earlier, when I found two things that made me realize how stupid I was/am. 1) DDR3 is a waste of money. The CAS latencies are just too high to be effective. Effectively, DDR2 is just as fast due to CAS latencies of 4 and below. The only...
