Every Post Can't be a Winner
i work out a lot and started on my second round of creatine this year today. my goal is to weigh 190 by Christmas. so i wondered if that would make me obese.
this nifty BMI (body mass index) caculator is the official way to know how many pounds you are from being obese.
currently my BMI is 29.0, only 1 BMI (or 8ish pounds) away from entering into the obese zone.

REVIEW : LG VX8000 on Verizons EVDO network
A little while back, I wrote about Verizon’s new High Speed EV-DO Network. At the time, Verizon only allowed access to the High speed network through PC cards that allowed computers to access the internet at broadband speeds.
Background :.
In 2005, Verizon will launch the LG VX8000 . It will be the first phone with EV-DO Access. To a nerd, EVDO means high speed internet nationwide without searching for an access point. For regular users, this means enhanced services on phones like, streaming video, faster video and picture messaging, and a richer Phone/web experience. Fortunatly, I was able to get my hands on one and I have thrown together a review of the equipment and the service.Verizon Wireless has launched a test of it’s service in Washington DC and in San Diego. Somehow, due to my usage patterns, magnetic personality, and nerd factor, I was chosen as one of the lucky few to test this phone.
As I had just used Verizon’s high speed network, I was quite excited to be invited to use their new services for phones. However, because this is a test of the phone service, I will not use the phone as a modem for the duration of the trial.
The LG VX8000 is a Phone that has a High Resolution 1.3 MegaPixel CCD Camera, Flash, MP3/MIDI, Video Recording and Streaming, 3D Gaming, and High Speed Internet Phone.
Contents :.
The LG VX8000 arrived via overnight fedex in a discreet brown box that contained a Verizon branded car charger, basic account info, and the LG VX8000 Kit. The Kit Contained the handset, Wall Charger, Belt Clip, Stereo Wire Style headphones with Mic, Lithion Ion Polymer Battery, Quick Start Guide, Quick Start CD, and Instruction Manual.Case Design :.
I was incredibly excited to open up the package and to see the glimpse of the future. This was after all, a look into the next generation of phones before they were released. Sadly, the first word that came to mind when I saw the phone was “brick”. LG’s marketing team is going to have a hard time selling this phone on looks. A list of adjectives and nouns I’ve already used to describe the phone are, brick, solid, big, stackable, rectilinear. Coming from LG and Korea, a country that is devoted to making everything smaller and cooler it seems that this phone skipped the design desk and went straight to production.There are a slew of buttons adorning the phone, The front panel is incredibly flat and adorned by several chrome accents. Really the pictures do not do justice to exactly how ugly this phone is in person.
Although the phone is quite large, 3.8 by 1.9 by 0.9 inches, the square edges make it seem bigger, but the phone is surprisingly light at 3.9 ounces.
Another odd quirk is that the display part of the clamshell seems to be heavier than the number pad side making the phone feel oddly balanced.
Screens :.
LG did do an incredible job with the screens. The Color LCD on the outside of the phone is a very high resolution, and the color is amazing. This allows the outside display to show lots of information including number of bars of service, services available, its own banner, 4 bar battery meter, date and time, and a custom wallpaper. From the front panel, you can also play mp3’s, take pictures or movies, browse pictures, read text messages, and view recent calls and make calls. This is all pretty impressive that you can do this with the phone closed.Inside, there is a gorgeous display that has great color depth. Inside you can see the same network, battery, and date and time info as on the outside, plus another custom banner and wallpaper.
Buttons :.
Inside the Buttons are well laid out with shortcut keys, two softkeys, a dedicated camera button, and a roomy number pad with big numbers.The side sports a camera button, a volume rocker, and a voice record button that doubles as a flash on/off button for the camera. This last feature is something I’d been hoping for ever since I got a phone cam. The front flip features a Stop/Play, forward, and rewind button layout that allows you to control your mp3s. The Camera on the front has a focus wheel that lets you specity Macro Mode or Normal mode for your portraits.
Call Quality :.
Compared to the Samsung and the Motorola phones I’ve used in the past, the call quality on this phone is not very good. The earpiece volume seems low and the caller seems distant. The speakerphone feature is nice, but the Motorola V710 definitely had a better quality speakerphone.Reception :.
Reception on the phone seems decent. I found I was able to get EVDO service through my office and house. Although I did drop an EVDO video stream a couple of times.
Features :.
What the phone lacks for in design, it makes up for in features.
Streaming Video :.
This phone lets you download from Verizon Wireless’s library of Video on Demand. Although the selection is small, it is pretty good.For news, you get CNN and NBC news, For entertainment you get E!, Sesame Street, and Just for Laughs, For Sports you get Fox Sports and ESPN, for Weather you get Accuweather.com.
After the first day, my phone told me I had downloaded over 90 Megs worth of content. I doubt I had used that much data on a cellular network in my entire life.
All the clips are free, and the quality is very excellent.
The streaming takes about 10 seconds to start for a 3-4 minute clip. You can either view the video clip in portrait or landscape mode. While I like the idea of Landscape mode, because of the distance between your eyes and the different angles they look at the screen, viewing the display in landscape mode is actually surprisingly difficult. I found my eyes being more comfortable with the smaller portrait resolution.
High Speed Web :.
It looks like Verizon has been busy working on Mobile Web 2.0 . Immediately it reminded me of the days when I used to dial into AOL or Prodigy. There are clear categories defining News, Email, Sports etc. These all lead to a web that has been sorted. And as far as I could tell all the sites were designed for Cell phones.If you go the Search button though, you can enter in a URL. This loads up almost any Webpage and reformats it as best it can to fit the cell phone screen. This combined with Cable modem download speeds is a huge improvement over the Previous crap that they called wireless internet.
3D Gaming :.
Theres a new Category under Get it now called 3D Gaming. These games are all incredibly overpriced, ranging from about 8 to 9 dollars for a 3 month subscription. Curious to see if they were actually worth it, I went for the safe download. The 3D driving game.Upon loading the game, I was very surprised by the sophisticated menus. Then upon starting the game, I was back in 90’s. The game reminded me a lot of the Need For Speed Series that became popular on the computer when I was in high school. The video was smooth, but was at a really low resolution. The graphics were true 3D with real 3D models of buildings, cars, and a destroyable environment. I was quite impressed with the quality although I’m not impressed enough to go downloading 50 dollars worth of games.
Camera :.
The CCD Camera on the phone is of much better quality than I have seen in the CMOS cameraphones from Motorola and Samsung.The Camera has excellent low light abilities, gets great color, and makes very sharp photos in the sunlight. You can also set a self timer, the flash is the best I’ve seen so far, you can adjust the white balance, metering mode, and ISO. The only thing that bothers me about the phone is the low frame rate before you capture a picture. But for a phone camera, this is by far the best quality I have seen thus far.
You can also capture 15 second video clips using the Video Camera feature. The clips are low resolution and about 15 frames per second.
My only gripe about the Camera is that when you close the Clamshell with the camera on, the camera turns off. If you want to take a photo with the clamshell closed, you have to start the Camera again with the lid closed.
The Macro Lens allowed me to get pretty close to the subject with the subject sharp.
Stereo Headphones :.
The Stereo Headphones were a nice feature. The Microphone / Volume control / multi-function control button unit was a little high on the string, and made using the controls kind of awkward, but I guess it’s better to have the microphone close to the user’s head. The call quality goes up by using both earpieces. This actually makes the conversation seem more natural because you hear the other person’s voice in both ears.Battery Life :.
Battery Life is decent when you’re not downloading tons and tons of videos all day. With Moderate usage, it seems like the battery will last at least two days. However, with a phone with this many features you can play with, I would recommend charging the battery every night.Lack of Bluetooth and Memory Card :.
Being such a feature packed phone and for its size, I can’t believe that this phone lacks a memory card or Bluetooth. Without either it makes it very difficult to really use the MP3, video, and picture features of the phone without being charged an arm and a leg. This also means that you will have to get a cable to use the phone as a laptop and you will need to use special quasi legal software to get data onto and off of your phone.This really cripples the usefulness of the phone. I was able to email myself pictures and midi’s to put on the phone, but it seems that Verizon blocks mp3 files.
Overall Impressions :.
I think this phone shows a lot of promise. It has an amazing array of features, but it seems to have lacked proper design. This looks like a phone that was designed around a specific feature set and not around user requirements. The phone lacks style, but makes up for it in well executed features. However, while the features are good, the menuing system, call quality, and convenience features are lacking.Other than for tech Geeks, I probably would not recommend this phone to a normal user. And even with Tech Geeks, I might even recommend the Motorola V710 because of its removable memory card and its bluetooth.
Photo Samples From the Camera :.
Click to see enlargements of the samples. The phone has a focus ring, The macro seems to do ok, as seen in the watch photo. I think there must be something wrong with my non macro mode.
Pictures and Video of the phone :.
Here is a sample of the video quality of the streaming media. You need to have DIVX installed.

Randy Orton's Big GM Day and Keep Voting Daniel Puder!
This coming Monday is finally Randy Orton's big day as GM! Back 2 weeks ago when his team won the Survivor Series, everyone won a change to be GM for a day. First week, Maven booked himself a title shot, but couldn't get the job done even with Benoit and Jericho cheating for him like crazy. Second week, Benoit get screwed by HHH, who pretended to be too hurt to wrestle. Next week, Orton's plans unfold as there is a huge battle royal championship match! 20+ men in the ring, last one over the top rope gets the belt!
And also, Dan Puder continues to do well. He did the best in the make-out-with-the-80-year-old-lady contest, came closest to winning last weeks contest, and actually won this week's arm wrestling contest! He beat out guys twice as big as he is. I guess you dont need to be huge to be strong. So head over to the WWE website and vote for Daniel Puder!

"THE average Australian woman is a size 16 and weighs 8kg heavier than her American counterpart"
and what is the reason for all this?
"I think the reason is there is a socio-economic difference. On average Australians are more affluent than Americans."

America Catches up to Korea Again
I remember I was in Korea 3 years ago when they had this implemented and working. It's called ringback tones. At first it sounds kind of stupid, but after using it, it has its uses as well and it does provide for some entertainment.
What happens is, you can set your phone number to play a song instead of the traditional ring-ring. This way, when people dial your number, they immediately know that they have dialed the correct number when they hear Justin Timberlake singing your favorite song. This keeps them entertained while they wait for you to wipe, flush, and then answer the phone. Plus, you can't just hear too much boy-band in one day. The only problem is that if you put Elton John as your ringback, you'll have Joe calling you all day.
Verizon is currently testing this service in California, and TMobile looks like they will launch it soon as well.
The samsung feature of a a motorized Flip Cover on the phone I was using that summer i doubt will ever make it to the states.

Marvel's giant slap to the face.
So it was suggested that I don't talk about porn, sex.com, and twelve inch wangs among other assorted things. And on that note, here is a story that doesn't include any of that. Just a really big d*ck. In the form of Marvel.
So there's this game out there called City of hero's (CoH), its a massive multi-player online role playing game. In this game you create your own superhero and go around defeating villians, sounds interesting, something that boys like. Well Marvel doesn't like it, because (and here's a big shocker) you can create hero's that look like Marvel's heros. So they are sueing the people who made the game.
"But in its lawsuit, filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court, Marvel argues that the game's character creation engine easily allows players to design characters that are virtual copies of its own superheros, including ``The Incredible Hulk.''
The company singles out a game feature for creating ``a gigantic, green, 'science-based tanker'-type hero that moves and behaves nearly identically'' to the ``Hulk.'' Players can also create a ``mutant-based'' hero powers and a costume nearly identical to Marvel's ``Wolverine,'' according to the suit. "
Sounds like a dick move to me by Marvel.

Thankfully I can one up everybody in the world and get one of the largest TV's out there, a fully functional Jumbotron, slightly used from the University of Iowa.

Vote Daniel Puder!
So in the latest season of Tough Enough, the WWE has decided to just merge the show with its Thursday night show, Smackdown. Things got interesting, however, when during last weeks show, Kurt Angle (1996 Olympic gold medalist for wrestling) challenged any of them to step up and fight him in the ring (for real). So Daniel Puder, former UFC fighter stepped up and put Angle in some sort of submission hold. However, while he was in the submission, Angle managed to pin Puder for the win. But, in hopes of some sort of rematch, I encourage all of you to go over to the WWE Tough Enough page and vote for Dan Puder!

Plus Sizes are Multiplying...
stores are now switching to fat mannequins in order to reflect fat america. check this quote,
"When you consider that two-thirds of the population are overweight, they’re making mannequins look more like real American bodies. An average height of 6 feet 4 inches and a 20-inch waist is not realistic. They should resemble a person.”
thoughts:
1. ok if i were to see a fat mannequin i would think they that would make me look that fat when i wear what the mannequin is... trick always make your product look the best it can be.
2. doesnt this endorse the fat lifestyle. if you are overweight because of genetics thats ok... if you are fat cus you are lazy and dont work out, do something about it.... i see arnold and i think wow i wanna look like that even though i never could, so what do i do i work out like arnold...
3. this trend endorse fat america and rewards laziness, "its ok not to work out its ok to be lazy..." arrrggghh... needless to say i went to the gym today...
note i win for the post with the most hyperlinks...

Democrates bash Republican for bashing comment on sexuality
In 2008, presidential debates should take the form of one that was held at an Apple Valley, MN high school. Where if you don't like what the other person said, you attack them with a bat. But on the other hand, the comment was a little wrong, because lots of heterosexual people supported Kerry, just some more typical Republican fear mongering :-p.
from cnn.com:
APPLE VALLEY, Minnesota (AP) -- Three high school students, one allegedly armed with a bat, were charged with attacking a pro-President Bush classmate after he reportedly said only gays would support Sen. John Kerry.
"It's a good thing to see young people interested and excited about politics," said Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom. "It's obviously very disturbing to see this kind of violence over it."
The 17-year-old was assaulted last Thursday in the high school parking lot following a class discussion about the election, authorities said.
...
I wonder if the bat was corked? Hope this kind of violence doesn't spread to Wisconsin. Wonder who the attackers would have voted for?

So there's this site over in the land of tea and crumpets (Eng-a-land) that uses the Amazon Web Services API to find stuff for you. The site i'm f££ling sp£ndy takes the whole google notion of "I'm feeling Lucky" on step further. What you do is tell the service how much dough you got, what kind of thing you want in general (a la "somethign to read", "somthing to watch", "anything", etc.), and how less or more an item can be, and it randomly returns an item from amazon.com.
Of course when I tried it, it didn't work.

Let's move to Cascadia
Looks like it might be a civil war all over again. Some wankers over in the North West want to secede from the union (and incedently Canada). To form a new country consisting of Oregon, Washington and BC. Seems like this has been going on for awhile. They have got a website and flag. The thing is I don't know if this is a joke or not. It seems like alot of effort for it to be a joke. But if it is serious then those people have way too much time on their hands.

Is there a Flash in this picture?
If you're British, getting your picture taken with the queen is a big deal. It's almost like getting your picture taken with George W. Bush.
But Colonel Simon West in his picture next to the Queen appears to be enjoying it a little but too much. Maybe it was something in the wind. Maybe its because he was showing his twig and berries to the whole world.
I think it was a ballsy move by West.

Why Wisconsin Why?
Why does this kind of Story ALWAYS come from wisconsin?
I don't know if i'll ever go back. It's just too much to handle
Here's yet another story about some crazy cramming a house full of animals in Wisconsin. 250 Cats were found dead and alive in this house. The floor is covered in feces. They say that the homeowner started bringin in stray cats and was all of a sudden "just became overwhelmed by the situation." Police were only notified after neighbors started to complain about the stench.
Now the house has to be demolished.
How many stray cats are there in Wisconsin? How did they all end up in this persons home. Why not stop bringing in cats after you have 5? Why not stop bringing in cats after 100?
Absolutely ridiculous.

Something I want at my wedding
So I went to a wedding of some friends like a month or so ago. Anyways the whole thing was in their backyard, ceremony and reception. And one of the things (besides the open bar) was this keg just sitting there so we could all drink during the ceremony and before it started.
Oh and this was the night before, just look at the size of the drink. 64 oz of pure Margartia.

Why I wouldn't mind going to China
Well it looks like its going to be another 4 years of fiscal iresponsibility, so I;m thinking of moving on out of this here county. Might go to someplace like China, cause they got some other good things going for them. Of course they aren't exactly a free culture...

AOL is giving away money
AOL is notorious for sending out Cleverly packaged CDs and Disks offering thousands of hours Free to promote their service. Along with promoting their service this also promotes pollution and even worse dial up internet access.
Now in a move that is clearly an effort to get rid of as much money as possible, AOL is now offering $100 gift certificates to Amazon.com to people for signing up for a 1 month trial.
Granted, you do have to enter in a credit card, you can quit your trial at any time and walk away without owing anything.
I have signed up for this service and will update you on how it goes. The only caveat here is that they send your gift certificate to your new AOL email address.
Thanks to Bryant Ng for finding this.

You're Welcome
Today I got an email from George Bush thanking me for my help. I'd like to say George, You're welcome
Dear Bryant,
We had a long night -- and we had a great night. The voters turned out in record numbers and delivered an historic victory.
I want to thank our supporters across this country. At every stop I asked you to make the calls, put up the signs, talk to your neighbors, and get out the vote. And because you did your part, we are celebrating today. Thanks to you, we received more votes than any presidential ticket in history.
America has spoken. And I am humbled by the trust and confidence of my fellow citizens. With that trust comes a duty: I will serve all Americans, so help me God. I am proud to lead such an amazing country -- and I am proud to lead it forward.
Reaching our goals will require the broad support of Americans. A new term is a new opportunity to reach out to the whole nation. We have one country, one Constitution, and one future that binds us all. And when we come together and work together, there is no limit to the greatness of America.
A campaign has ended, and our cause is renewed. The United States of America goes forward with confidence and faith. I can see a new day coming, and I am eager for the work ahead. God bless you all, and God bless America.

Bush Wins
Bush Wins
Now all we have to do is wait for the concession speech from Kerry.
Not only did Republicans win the electoral vote, they also won the popular vote total surpassing Reagan. Not only did Republicans win the Presidency, they also won the senate, house, and governor races. We'll see what this means for democrats in the next few years. I hope the F.A.G. and P Diddy are happy now that the American public came out and voted in Record Numbers.
Dan Rather looked mighty defeated last night. Kept mentioning that the election was such a big headache. I think it was just him seeing his own career crumble before his own eyes. I am giving Dan Rather 6 months max left on CBS
Now it is left for John Kerry to make his concession speech. It is yet to see if he will protract this defeat or whether he will concede to George W. Bush as the winner.

Voter Fraud Abound...
Voter Fraud seems to be a hot trend today...
"Problems were already being reported in Pennsylvania, FOX News has learned, with the state GOP calling for some voting machines to be impounded because Republicans said there were votes cast on them before the polls officially opened."

VOTE DAMIT
Bryant is just afraid that people might vote for John Kerrry so he's joining the Republican call to keep people from voting. To attempt to scare them into not voting. Notice his less then subtle attacks on John Kerry, its just getting sad on the parts of Republicans.
YOU SHOULD VOTE NO MATTER WHAT!!!
It's your right as an American.

Welcome to Election Day
Don't vote today. Don't vote today if you are only voting because some actor on TV told you that it would be a good idea to vote. Don't vote today because you went to a rock concert and some rock star told you. Don't vote today because you think all your friends at school are voting for someone. Don't vote today if you're voting just because you're scared P. Diddy will kill you if you don't. Don't vote today if you think you have to vote one way another just because of your race or skin color.
Vote today if you're informed on the platforms or lack of platforms of a candidate. Vote today if you care about America and where it is headed. Vote today if you care who is in office.
Vote for George Bush if you want a president who will continue to fight the war on terror. Vote for George Bush if you want a president who will lower our taxes. Vote for George Bush if you want our economy to continue to grow and if you want to continue to create jobs. Vote for George Bush if you connect with him as a fellow American who wants the best for our country.
Vote for John Kerry if you want a president who sways when politically convenient. Vote for John Kerry if you agree that we shouldn't have had allies help us in Afghanistan, should have waited for the global test in Iraq, but should go it alone in North Korea. Vote for John Kerry if you're for partial birth abortion. Vote for John Kerry if you're as far left as Ted Kennedy. Vote for Kerry if you're for raising taxes. Vote for John Kerry if you're Osama Bin Laden.

Cricket Temperature
Did you know that you can figure out the temperature by hearing the rate at which crickets chirp? Good thing someone wrote a program to use on a Palm to figure it out for you.
