So apparently there was a cereal called Freakies back in the 1980’s that had little monsters as its mascot (aka Freakies). The whole thing looks nuts to me and I am wondering if anyone remembers the cereal and if so, how did it taste. I would also like to point out the similarities between the checkered flag and that of the Purina dog food symbol.
So I was doing some “research” on podcasts and vodcasts that are available on the web, so I can get some ideas, when out of the blue I stumble upon this website CoffeeBreakSpanish.com. It is a pretty neat idea, teaching others a new language through a podcast, but I know they have been around for a while, so that was not what was surprising. The hosts of the show are in Scotland and have a very thick accent. It is quite funny to listen to Scottish people speaking Spanish. Here is the preview clip.
Here is a video on underwater airplanes. They use the same principles found in aerospace engineering, but instead of flying up, they fly down. It is pretty amazing looking crafts.
I have a couple of questions about tipping. So if you know, please comment.
1.) I got my oil changed today and the place I go to offers a FREE car wash with each oil change. Once they were done, I noticed that people were giving the guys who dryed the cars a tip. I have two problems with that. First of all, there were other people in the back who were washing the cars, and second, it was a FREE car wash. If I have to tip, it does not make it FREE. It was really awkward when I left. The guy followed me to my truck, waiting for a tip. The problem was I paid with a credit card and they did not offer on the receipt for me to put down a tip.
2.) Are you supposed to tip the people at Sonic for bringing you your food? How much do they make an hour?
So, I don’t know if anyone knows about the website Slashdot, but I found a new slogan on one of their pages that I thought was pretty cool.
“The Nuts and Volts of News for Nerds”.
(it is located at the top by their logo)
They have always advertised themselves as “News for Nerds…”, but now it sounds more interesting.
If you can’t afford the $400 price tag on a new Apple iPhone, you could make one out of Legos for less the $10. Click here to see a comparison.
Sorry I haven’t written a lot lately, but here are a bunch of links to some pretty cool stuff:
“Songs of the Lukewarm Christian”
“Is this all there is to life?”
“Emergency Zombie Defense Station”
“Interrobang!? : (don’t ask, just read)“ “The are you good enough test”
Awesome “space painting” in under a minute. Depending on how many “cool things” you’ve seen today, this could be jaw-dropping once you realize what’s going on: Link.
