Hey it’s that time again! The links of the world, link or rama, link a dink a ding dong. Yeah that wasn’t really funny. So the last couple weeks were pretty busy. On February 14th, my parents celebrates their 40th wedding anniversary, and impressive accomplishment in todays world. Both Kelly’s parents and mine, are great role models to have. Talking about Kelly and I, we celebrated Valentine’s day with dinner at Mr. Stox in Anaheim and then a night time trip to Disneyland. Dinner was really good, I had their blue crab cakes and Kelly had the filet of steak. This weekend we are going to our friend Sean and Amber’s for their daughters 1st birthday party, we haven’t seen them for awhile so that should be fun. So that’s the update, now on to the links! Oh wait one last thing, CONGRATS TO DREW BREES!
Food Stuff
For Super Bowl we had a small party with our parents coming over to watch the game with us, I wanted to try and cook buffalo wings, but wasn’t at all in the mood for frying them up, I found this awesome recipe two days before the game for cooking up crunchy buffalo like wings in the oven from Serious Eats, you owe it to yourself to cook them this way! I also found this cool site that reviews all the interesting snack foods out there called Taquitos.net, they have everything from national brands to regional favorites. Lastly if you are the type of person that is interested in trying your hand at brewing your own beer check out this quick blurb on Lifehacker about two free open source programs that will help you with your goal.
Music Stuff
I haven’t had much music stuff lately, but I had to share this awesome project that Michael Deal is working on that is a graphical exploration into the Beatles and the creation of their music. This is a project and any true Beatles fan will want to check out.
Sad Stuff
For those that don’t know the Mars rover Spirit is stuck and can no longer move, so they have pretty much pulled the plug on the project, xkcd has a sad comic to show us that rovers have feelings too.
Funny Stuff
If you are a friend of mine on Facebook you might have already seen this, but if not, check out this graphic on How to Suck at Facebook. I’m proud to say I don’t do any of those things listed, so I must not suck. If you saw the Google commercial during the Super Bowl (which was my favorite ad) you saw a clever use of their auto complete feature, the site Autocomplete Me turns the auto complete feature into a interesting look at what people search for on Google.
The Lego Millennium Falcon!
Cool Stuff
I just found this today but I wanted to pass it on, someone has taken the initiative to educate today’s men on what they need in their wardrobe, with Newbie Fashion Tips for Grown Men. It really is a good group of tips and suggestions on how to look your best. Wardrobe Oxygen takes it a step further, but I have to disagree with some their what to remove from your wardrobe section. I’ve been wanting to get some Lego sets recently to put together for fun and I was checking out the online Lego store, they have a $499 Star Wars Millennium Falcon, a little more than I want to spend (it is 5000+ pieces though)… I’ve seen a couple places recently selling recycled bottles that have had their tops cut off so you can use them as glasses, here is someone that decided they could just make them instead. Check out this great article on the 19 Most Complex and Dangerous road in the world, I’ve seen some of these on Top Gear, the Road of Death in Bolivia looks like a bitch. If you know me you know that Kelly and I met online, so I find the research that OkCupid is doing on their dating site is extraordinary, they recently wrote an article about profile pictures, and I highly suggest anyone that is doing any sort of online dating read their articles, they will help you make a better personal ad. Example, Men: don’t make eye contact and don’t smile, Women: make eye contact and a flirty face. And the last of the cool stuff, this blog post regarding the changes to the Crayola color spectrum throughout the years.
Not Cool Sports Stuff
The Chicago Cubs have thought up an complete asshole plan, they are going to charge a 20% premium on those that purchase tickets the 1st week they are on sale, and then after that they will be the normal face value. Talk about scalping your customers. I hope we don’t see this become a trend. (edit, this is nothing new they have been doing it for 8 years.)
Cool Videos
Some geeks have figured out an awesome use for Microsoft’s surface, Dungeons and Dragons!

Here are pictures from January 2010, in which we celebrated both of our birthdays as well was 5 years of knowing each other.
140 pictures from December, including us putting out Christmas tree up and the two Christmas parties that we had at our house for our families.

Goodbye 2009 it was a great year!
So we had Thanksgiving and putting up Christmas lights. Here are some pictures from the month.
By the way, GO TROJANS! That was an awesome 28-7 beating of the Bruins!
So it’s the big week. USC vs. UCLA rivalry week!
UCLA Sucks!
What better way to celebrate what we are thankful for than to watch the USC Trojans beat the UCLA Bruins?
Proud USC Fan.
We’ll be celebrating Thanksgiving at my in-laws, and then on Saturday we are going to cook our own turkey at the house. Not much else going on. We did get baseboard put in living room, dining room, and hallway a couple weeks ago, things are really coming together with the house. We will be having 2 Christmas parties at our house in December, one for my dad’s side of the family and one for my mom’s side of the family (which will include Kelly’s family at both/either of them). It’s going to be a very busy December! Work will be busy the first two weeks as well since I have to train new hires on high-speed online, but it shouldn’t be too difficult. That’s about it from here so let’s see what I have to share this week.
Cool Food
Cheeseburger in a Can!
Have you ever been out camping in the wilderness and wished, “Boy I wish I could have a cheeseburger right now!”. Well the wait is over, with the cheeseburger in a can!
Cool Stuff
When I was a kid I loved reading the various Choose Your Own Adventure books, I found this site that someone has analyzed all the books and has a bunch of data about them, with cool graphics and color. It’s a pretty neat read if you loved those books as a kid. Some more cool stuff, but in a much different way are these Civil War pictures (warning some of them are not for the faint at heart), I’d never seen this collection so it was an interesting look into battlefield.
Buying Stuff
If you are looking for the best cheap stuff to get for Christmas, check out this site called Cheapism that has reviews on cheap things.
Funny Stuff
Another weekly cool links and another great site to see pictures of people and go, what the fuck?? This weeks pick is Why the Fuck Do You Have a Kid? You will be saying the same thing when you see this collection of pictures. I’m sure a number of UCLA alumni are pictured on that site.
TV Stuff
Anyone that is both a sports fan and a fan of The Office will love this take on The Office done by the Kansas City Chiefs.
