iMaze

I just downloaded a near maze program where you move the ball around the maze with the accelerometer. It’s called iMaze. I think it could use a little polish, but it is still a lot of fun to play. Overall, it is a good 1.0 product. For those cheapskates out there, iMaze Lite is free.

App Store

Just tonight, I downladed and installed the 2.0 update for my iPod touch. So far, I have to say it was worth the purchase. Even as I write this, I am using the WorsPress software for iPhone. Not all the apps on the App Store are perfect and many could use some polish to improve usability. So far, I am impressed by the WP application. I plan to talk more about this in the near future.

Nerds!!!

WordPress gang signs? WTF!?

Zen is Stupid excerpt

One of the many podcasts I listen to is Zen is Stupid. A recent episode, episode 74, made me laugh. I usually listen to the show for insight into various topics. This time, it was all gross-out humor and laughing, right up my alley.

Zen is Stupid, Episode 74

(This podcast belongs to Gwen and Patrick, not me. Another Patrick.)

Blog maintenance

Tonight, I added a new page and renamed the blog. (For those with short memories, the blog used to be called “Questionable Ethics and Ambiguous Morals.” It had the subtitle, “Honest answers and straightforward commentary from a pathological liar.”) So, now we have a new blog title. I also shopped around for a new theme, found one I like, but couldn’t put it on here, because this is a simple WordPress.com blog. Oh, well..

I also added a new page for my projects. I’ve got a few things going on in my life. (Key word is “few.”) You can find the new Projects page up on the link bar. Enjoy!

Mac OS X Leopard intro video

Mac users will know that when you boot up a Mac for the first time, it shows you a quick video that says “Welcome” in several different languages. On YouTube, a few people have replaced the music in the video with their own music. There are some pretty good candidates, but there is one that I think should be the the welcome video.

The official welcome video: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTKfuIXtMX0]

Well? What’s your opinion?

New Music Tuesdays

Okay, I know I’m writing this post on a Sunday, but that’s beside the point. This summer, I had a broadband internet connection and way, way too much time on my hands. In the process of pissing away the time that I have to live my life, I discovered a few new bands that I would like to share.

The Submarines – “You, Me, and the Bourgeoisie”

Foo Fighters – “The Pretender”

If you think you know of any group that I would like, by all means leave a comment on this post.

The way the world really works

I know that this summer has been very slow for those who read this blog exclusively, so I am going to attempt to placate the masses for a little while longer. I found this image on Dvorak Uncensored. It made me smile and worry at the same time.

Price of Gas to Reach Four Expletives per Gallon

This is an article from America’s Finest News Source. I know what the mean. Enjoy!

HOUSTON—Gasoline prices rose to a record-high four expletives per gallon Monday, a rate of fuel-price-related cursing not seen since the 1979 energy crisis sparked a nationwide obscenity boom. “Two years ago it seemed impossible that a gallon of gasoline would go as high as goddamn-shit-ass-balls,” said commodities trader Philip Roan, adding that refined petroleum is up nearly 100 percent from cock-fuck last March. “Considering the unrest in the Middle East and growing global energy demands, fuel prices may well reach dick-ass-Christ-fuck-hell in as little as six months.” The unprecedented jump in swearing rates has reportedly prompted an increase in the number of Americans riding motherfucking bicycles.
