Cop shooting himself

Jeff November 29th, 2006

I am the only one in the room professional enough, that I know of, to carry the glock 40

I’m not sure which is worse, his ability to speak the English language or his knowledge on how to handle a gun. One funny thing about this video is that my friend who is training to be a cop right now was telling us about it as they were showing it in his class at the Academy. I nearly feel out of my chair when I saw the video had made it online… You have to love the internet! Its also worth noting that this cop is suing because he is saying that he cant get a job as an undercover cop anymore. My question on that subject is this: ‘If he really wanted to remain an undercover cop, what is he doing at a school in the ghetto talking to kids about guns?!’ But I don’t want to get into people suing others because of their own stupidity or the fact that we are living in a blameless society where people wont take responsibility for their own actions… that would be an entirely new post.

My cousin’s music…

‘The wolverines were attacking my cousins, what the heck would YOU do?’

;)

So my cousin has some great music that you can listen to here. I love his song called “Success”.  It is so true about so many people in our society, that most live to work instead of work to live as the rest of the world does.  Go there and listen to it!

Purple Nugget

Jeff November 28th, 2006

I was browsing the internet looking for this website that lets you register for gifts for any occasion and I came across Purple Nugget. Seems to be somewhat useful in that you type in the different characteristics of the person you are shopping for and it returns gift ideas based on those characteristics. It may just help you find that one great gift for the person that is hard to shop for. Or tell them to loosen up and give the money that you were going to spend on them to charity…

The Da Vinchi Code

Jeff November 20th, 2006

Having just read the book about a year or so ago,I decided to rent the movie to see if it lived up to all the hype and publicity it generated. Maybe its because (having read the book) I knew what was going to happen through out the whole movie, but I didn’t think it was very good. I thought the acting was average, especially for the two big name actors in the movie in Hanks and McKellen. One good thing about having read the books was that if I hadn’t, I think I would have had a bit of trouble following the movie as some of the plot lines were poorly incorporated into the movie. (Aringossa was noticeably absent from most of the film.) The one person whom I thought did a great job was Paul Bettany as Silas… holy cow was he freaky! Although when I read the book, I pictured him being a bit bigger than Paul is in the movie.

However, and maybe this is why I couldnt get into it, watching the movie reminded me of the biggest problem I have with the whole idea of the book: that Jesus was just a man. My big problem is that IF he was just a man and IF he did marry Mary Magdalene, then what is the big deal with her? That would make her a woman that married a guy who was a “good person.” Nothing special at all. So why all the codes, trickery, etc?

Wiring your house for ethernet -

Jeff November 9th, 2006

Having just wired my house for internet, I figured I would post the links that were the most helpful. It would have been very handy if my condo wasn’t sitting an a slab and had some crawl space but we managed…

This site was helpful in reminding me which way to wire the cables as it had been awhile; I went with the “Straight-Through Cable Pinout for T568B” configuration.  This link gives a great picture of how to crimp the wire and I used the info here to remember how to wire the plugin.

I didn’t have to do cut away the floorboards but these links may be helpful if someone has the ability to do that.  (Would be much easier than what I had to do).
