Weekly Cool Links #2 – 04.10.09 edition

Echo (Dollhouse episode)

Ok another weekly links rounddup!  Wow 2 weeks in a row, almost as consistent as my nearly weekly posting over at Eat in OC!

So first something local, the guys over at Food Frenzy are asking What’s your favorite hole-in-the-wall restaurant around Orange County.  I chimed in about Tom’s Tacos in Stanton.

Game Booster looks like a nice all in one tool to use to get your PC ready for gaming.  If you know me well enough you know I love the new TV show Fringe, someone on the intarwebs has figured out that the symbols they show out to commerical actually stand for letters!  Talking about great TV shows, there was a story this week about Dollhouse being canceled because the 13th episode isn’t going to be aired, but now it’s said there has been no decision has been made, and the reason the 13th won’t be aired is just because it’s not part of the agreement with FOX…  I’m really hoping FOX picks both Dollhouse and Sarah Connor Chronicles, I’ve been enjoying them both.  Back to computer stuff, I’ve been testing out Subsonic, basically it’s an all in one media server/web server, pretty good and appears solid so far.

On to a link about Politics, the Universal Free Church has a petition to ban Mormon marriage, and although I personally wouldn’t want to go that far, their real stance is that they want to people to understand the difference of religious freedom and religious fascism.

On to some sports stuff, spring practice started for USC 2 weeks ago, and I forgot to include this picture…

USC Spring Practice!

Talking about sports my heart goes out to the friends and family of fallen Angel Nick Adenhart who lost his life way too early as a result of an idiot drunk driver.

And lastly, I’ve finally started to try and listen to podcasts on a regular basis, ever since KLSX went off the air I’ve been craving some talk radio.  So far I’ve been listing to TWiT, Maximum PC No BS, and Windows Weekly.  I’m sure I’ll find some more techcentric podcasts to enjoy as well.  Plus I’m a big fan of Leo Leporte.

Oh and last but not least, Google finally adds the ability to ad images inline to emails via Gmail!   YAY now I don’t have to do it the stupid way I was forced to when I send emails to friends!

Sorry no real cool and interesting links this week, more of a tech week for me.

G20 Summit

Yeah throw other people’s personal property into businesses’ windows, that will get people on your side.  These protesters are complete idiots.

Weekly Cool Links #1 – 04.03.09 edition

This is a little something I’m going to try.  Share news stories and interesting things I found on the Intarweb this week.

First off let’s start with an interesting discovery that workers are 9% more productive when they get some free time during work to browse around the internet.  I’ve been a big supporter of this since internet was enabled at my work and I’ve personally felt the effects of this with me.  It lets me get my mind off work and refresh.  Lifehacker has a round up of all their “Best of the Best” votes they’ve had since January, it’s a great list of useful programs and internet places to get things done (everything from people searches to browsers).  Want to see if your username is available on a multitude of websites (social networking and etc.) all at one time, well then check out Namechk.  And in the same sort of tone, there is Domain Search for checking domain names.  Gizmodo reports that the QuickPWN team has already released a Jailbreak for iPhone 3.0 Beta, I won’t be checking it out, since I’ll wait till the official 3.0, but glad to see they are well ahead of the release.  Oh and lastly, from OC Weekly’s Navel Gazing Blog the Universal Free Church has launched a proposal to ban Mormon marriage, in an attempt to bring awareness to religious freedoms and religious free speech.  I’ll be signing the petition because I believe that no religion has the right to push their agenda on anyone else, but I’m sure most of you already knew that’s how I feel.

Anyway, I’ll try to do this weekly, or monthly, or as often as I can remember and get time for.  Expect a personal update later.

Digital Television Delay?!?!?

Gah these people in government are complete morons.  Why would they delay just because 6.5 million people are lazy bums that procrastinate.

Anyway enjoy the followup updated video about the DTV transition.
