Mmkay, back to business: Sony’s getting their ass kicked in yet another way today. “A California based company (Target Technology) has taken action against Sony who its technology is being used in the thin alloy film coating on Sony’s Blu-ray discs.” I have to laugh at Sony yet again for using patented material in a product. This is dualshock all over again, and I will tell you right now: this is the end of blu-ray. Just like the dualshock lawsuit was the end of that tech. Buhbye Sony format, Buhbye PS3, BUHBYE SONY FUCKING COMPUTER ENTERTAINMENT… Hopefully.

Era Vulgaris by Queens of the Stone Age leaked the other day, and holy fuck it’s awesome so far (I just downloaded it, and listening to it as i type this). I’ll Update this later on today after I’ve listened to the album a few times. I’ve already said I’m buying this on release day, and this just makes it even better because i know the album’s already fucking great, and anyone that says leaks kill record sales can fuck right off.

Offtopic note: Yes my MP3 player is missing from my sidebar. It’l be back soon,it’s just being re-worked.

To make up for my lack of writing any real posts lately, here’s one of the funniest lists of tool definitions ever created. This was forwarded to me on MySpace, It also sets the record for my longest post. Ever. Also, did you know that Word 2007 corrects “myspace” to “MySpace”? Interesting how it’s in the dictionary included in word… Moving on here’s the list:

Tools:

DRILL PRESS: A tall upright machine useful for
suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock out of your
hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings
your beer across the room, splattering it against that
freshly-stained heirloom piece you were drying.

WIRE WHEEL: Cleans paint off bolts and then throws
them somewhere under the workbench with the speed of
light. Also removes fingerprints and hard-earned
guitar calluses from fingers in about the time it
takes you to say, “Yeouw ….”

ELECTRIC HAND DRILL: Normally used for spinning pop
rivets in their holes until you die of old age.

SKILL SAW: A portable cutting tool used to make studs
too short.

PLIERS: Used to round off bolt heads. Sometimes used
in the creation of blood-blisters.

BELT SANDER: An electric sanding tool commonly used to
convert minor touch-up jobs into major refinishing
jobs.

HACKSAW: One of a family of cutting tools built on the
Ouija board principle. It transforms human energy into
a crooked, unpredictable motion, and the more you
attempt to influence its course, the more dismal your
future becomes.

VISE-GRIPS: Generally used after pliers to completely
round off bolt heads. If nothing else is available,
they can also be used to transfer intense welding heat
to the palm of your hand.

WELDING GLOVES: Heavy duty leather gloves used to
prolong the conduction of intense welding heat to the
palm of your hand.

OXYACETYLENE TORCH: Used almost entirely for lighting
various flammable objects in your shop on fire. Also
handy for igniting the grease inside the wheel hub you
want the bearing race out of.

TABLE SAW: A large stationary power tool commonly used
to launch wood projectiles for testing wall integrity.

HYDRAULIC FLOOR JACK: Used for lowering an automobile
to the ground after you have installed your new brake
shoes, trapping the jack handle firmly under the
bumper.

EIGHT-FOOT LONG YELLOW PINE 4 X 4: Used for levering
an automobile upward off of a trapped hydraulic jack
handle.

TWEEZERS: A tool for removing wood splinters and wire
wheel wires.

RADIAL ARM SAW: A large stationary power saw primarily
used by most shops to scare neophytes into choosing
another line of work.

TWO-TON ENGINE HOIST: A tool for testing the maximum
tensile strength of everything you forgot to
disconnect.

CRAFTSMAN 1/2 x 24-INCH SCREWDRIVER: A very large pry
bar that inexplicably has an accurately machined
screwdriver tip on the end opposite the handle.

AVIATION METAL SNIPS: See hacksaw.

TROUBLE LIGHT: The home mechanic’s own tanning booth.
Sometimes called a drop light, it is a good source of
vitamin D, “the sunshine vitamin,” which is not
otherwise found under cars at night Health benefits
aside, its main purpose is to consume 40-watt light
bulbs at about the same rate that 105 mm howitzer
shells might be used during, say, the first few hours
of the Battle of the Bulge. More often dark than
light, its name is somewhat misleading. The accessory
socket within the base, has been permanently rendered
useless, unless requiring a source of 117 vac power to
shock the mechanic senseless.

PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER: Normally used to stab the vacuum
seals under lids, opening old-style paper-and-tin oil
cans and splashing oil on your shirt; but can also be
used, as the name implies, to strip out Phillips screw
heads.

AIR COMPRESSOR: A machine that takes energy produced
in a coal-burning power plant 200 miles away and
transforms it into compressed air that travels by hose
to a Chicago Pneumatic impact wrench that grips rusty
bolts which were last over tightened 30 years ago by
someone at Ford, and instantly rounds off their heads.
Also used to quickly snap off lug nuts.

PRY BAR: A tool used to crumple the metal surrounding
that clip or bracket you needed to remove in order to
replace a 50 cent part.
(see CRAFTSMAN 1/2 x 24-INCH SCREWDRIVER)

HAMMER: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the
hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to
locate the most expensive parts adjacent the object we
are trying to hit.

MECHANIC’S KNIFE: Used to open and slice through the
contents of cardboard cartons delivered to your front
door; works particularly well on contents such as
seats, vinyl records, liquids in plastic bottles,
collector magazines, refund checks, and rubber or
plastic parts. Especially useful for slicing work
clothes, but only while in use. It is also useful for
removing large chunks of human flesh from the user’s
hands.

DAMMIT TOOL: Any handy tool that you grab and throw
across the garage while yelling “DAMMIT” at the top of
your lungs. It is also, most often, the next tool that
you will need.

Well as you may have noticed I haven’t been writing that much lately, and here’s my excuse: I’ve been busy with school and MapleStory lately (Also busty, but only Ben and Mike will get this), and I’ve been trying to not die from heat stroke because the Air Conditioning in this damned house blows out the power every time I turn it on. Anyways: for the first time in the 6 months that I’ve had this blog, I’m finally updating the theme. Sure, I’ve made small changes here and there to the original one but it’s always looked basically the same, and I was starting to find my theme boring. So today I decided to finally change the site and give it a nice new theme, and make it look sexy. Tell me what you think peoples, I’m desperate for comments! D=

That. Is. Insane.

Well I did it. I got my new Zune today and I freaking love it. I’m very happy with the player; it’s worked flawlessly since I got it (well there was a small glitch when I was syncing a certain song but the file was missing so meh.) Anyway this post isn’t really about the Zune (I’ve got that in another section of the blog) This post is about This list of the Top-5 Mario games. What. The. Fuck. That list is fucking wrong, as it doesn’t include Super Mario Bros. 3 or Super Mario World. So here’s my list of the top 5 Mario Games:

1. Super Mario Bros. 3

2. Super Mario 64

3. Super Mario RPG

4. Super Mario World

5. Super Mario Bros.

So yeah there’s my Top-5 list. Mike’s going to do one at some point, so be sure to check out Florncrab’d!

Tonight’s excerpt from msn:

That box could be a spaceship! Let’s use our imagination! *breasts deflate*

D= Well that’s the opposite of what I wanted to happen!
