What’s going on? And the Cool Stuff for June 1st through June 14th

By DanGarion on June 17, 2011

So not much going on, I saw my friend Brian last week that I used to play Ultima Online with and we used to run the Pacific Roleplaying Community. We hadn’t seen each other since I visited him 7 years ago, unfortunately it was only for a couple hours but it was great being able to hang out and talk, I missed that. By the way he needs up update his blog, he’s a slacker. I X-Men First Class a couple days ago and have officially declared it the best X-Men movie ever, it wasn’t perfect but it was a very solid 9, the two main actors were perfect for their roles and I really liked the story. Last weekend we saw Super 8 and it was great as well, I have said this before and I will continue to say this, J.J. Abrams can do no wrong, he is the best in the business. Other than that I am still working on finished a new smoker that I’m hoping to use for our 4th of July party, I should have it finished tonight. Our tomatoes are starting to ripen, and the peppers are starting to look great. Not much else new here but I know some people appreciate it when share more than links. Looking forward to Green Lantern but I don’t think it will be able to live up the how good XMFC was.

And now onto the cool stuff.

These are the cool things I found around the web for June 1st through June 14th:

2D Glasses – NOT 3d glasses! I might need to get these.

This video with Leonard Nimoy is pure awesome!

Denise Milani’s breasts – Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia – This is funny.

This is why you don’t leave messages with businesses you are mad at.

Use Shaving Cream to Remove Tough, Greasy Stains [Clever Uses] – I’m going to need to try this with some shirts that have washed in oil stains…

There is nothing wrong with a little spanking between friends…. right?

The Dan Report and Weekly Cool Links for April 20th through April 22nd

By DanGarion on April 22, 2011

Matt Kemp Kills Baseballs!

Hey! It’s Dan of the Garion clan. How about that Matt Kemp? He’s been killing the ball. So my wife Kelly said my blog has been boring since all I post nowadays are links… Is that true? Are my links boring, would you rather hear me talk about the Next Great Dancing Crew? I mean I know I can be funny when I don’t try at all, but can I be entertaining, especially in a world where people watch crap like Pregnant in Heels, Glamour Bells, and Playdates (yes these are all really TV shows, on REAL TV). WHO THE HELL WATCHES THIS STUFF. I mean it’s one thing to make fun of it, which is why I religiously watch The Soup (well and that Joel McHale is awesome), but really who watches this type of shit? This will be the only blog that someone says the word shit and then starts talking about Easter.

It’s Easter this Sunday, and I for one welcome our Zombie Jesus overlords. I’m happy I can get back to swigging soda and chowing down on chocolate now that Kelly no longer has the obligation to give up something she likes for Lent. Other than that there really isn’t much going on. The onions in the back yard are just about ready to get cured, we got a citrus tree that seems to be doing well, I fixed the grout in the master bathroom and Kelly is just about done with painting the shelf that our awesome neighbor made for us in the spare bedroom. Next up we are getting the HUGE birds of paradise plants in the front yard removed and we might be getting sprinklers installed in the front yard as well.

Lastly for those that really know us, be on the lookout for information about our 3rd Annual Fourth of July Party! Now it’s time for! DUN DUN DUN!

Weekly Cool Links 23 Back in Action!

By DanGarion on April 23, 2010

It’s back! Weekly Cool Links! And it only took 2 months for it to return. Sorry about that, I’m sure no one missed it, since no one comments on here anyway.

During the last couple weeks we’ve been doing a bunch of yard work, getting the yards in as good a shape as we can this year. Other than that, we haven’t really done much. So I guess I will just post the links…

Cool Music
I can’t remember if I shared this band yet on here, but Rock Sugar is an awesome band. The lead singer was the guy that did the voice of Wacko on Animaniacs.

Food Stuff
Four articles from Serious Eats that I thought were great to share. How to Salt Food, 6 Things Every Griller Needs, Top 10 Tips For Making Better Burgers, and Mastering the Art of Burger Blending. I’m very interested in getting a grinder for our KitchenAid Mixer and blending my own meat! If you are interested in finding a local fruit and veggie or even meat CSA you will want to check out both Local Harvest and Eat Wild. Too bad there aren’t really any close by meat CSAs in SoCal. I did recently discover that we have a local grass fed beef rancher 5 Bar Beef, we are going to try some of their ground beef tonight for burgers. If you want to know more about beef cuts, this poster is great.

Beer Stuff
Make had this cool weekend project for a portable homebrew cooler dispenser, that I might give a try when we have a party. Talking about beer, Floating Sheep has some maps about bars and areas where there are more bars than grocery stores.

Funny Stuff
When you are buying a home, the most overlooked requirement is Zombie Protection! Well OC Reader has you covered if you are looking for a home in Orange County.

Cool Sports
If you are looking to buy some tickets for a game or even a concert, Seat Geek has you covered in helping you find things for the best price available. They forecast if it’s a smart time to buy of if the price will be going down and suggest you to wait if you are buying the tickets on sites like StubHub, Tickets Now, or Ticket Network. Plus they will graph out the ticket locations for you.

Cool Sites
CNN Money’s 20 best Money Sites. Mensa’s 50 top websites. Groundspeak, the team behind Geocaching.org are slowly making their way into the geolocation game with Whibbit, looking forward to see how it compares to Foursquare and GoWalla.

More Cool Stuff
Probably should have been in the food section but I love that this site will locate Where is My Milk From. Science has discovered that as the use of porn goes up the amount of sex crimes goes down! Take that feminists! After you are done watching some porn, check out these awesome airports, I’m not sure if I want to land at any of those…

And last but not least, videos.
I think I will show this one during my Defensive Driving training classes I do.

Photoshop CS5 Content Aware Fill, it’s amazing what photoshop can do nowadays.

Sir Mix a Lot like But-terfingers

Awesome TV Theme duet
