i saw some of this show on hbo called “the life and times of tim“… pretty funny — the main character always seems to get into awkward situtations
here’s a clip from the show… i really just wanted to test playing FLV’s from my site (in a modal)… so here we go
more like "kill me"
store: bevmo
type: american adjunct lager
abv: 4.90%
oh those american adjunct lagers… they’re sooo run of the mill and this one is no exception…
sure it was made in the same country as my favorite national soccer team (one of ‘em at least), but this one was “ho hum”… no need to go further with this one i guess… you get the point
i do remember that juan and andy brought this over when we watched pacquiao put the beat down on cotto… it was supposed to be a filipino beer (san mig) and a puerto rican beer, but apparently, those aren’t easily found at your local bevmo… so argentina was thrown in as a substitute… it’s all the same tho — all brown right? (that’s racist)
beeradvocate: C-
me: C
so i’m waaaay behind on finishing up my last few beers… and i promised andy i’d do this (it is his brainchild after all)
so i’m gonna start putting them in… in no particular order
if i can’t figure out what to write about it, i’ll just put the basic info… tho i’m sure when i see the picture, it’ll all come back to me…
…yea right — i have such a crappy memory…
think: "twitter turned into a game"
so i’ve been trying this relatively new social networking trend called “foursquare”
according to their wiki page, it was created back in march 2009 and has a whopping 7 employees. i’m not bashing on that… it actually motivates me that a small company can start something as big as this is (or will be).
at its core, it’s fairly simple — wherever you go, you “check in” and get points and possibly some other perks
i’m foursquare friends with chaunce, geoff, and possibly rob (who has yet to make a check in) and it’s turning into a fierce competition.
we already made a rule between us: no checking into work (cuz it’s like checking into home — you GOTTA be there)
businesses are slowly starting to jump on board, offering discounts or even free things if you check in or are a mayor (respectively)
the badges are one of the perks you can get, some of them are pretty slick — the douchebag badge is my favorite… i need to obtain this one… i think places tagged as douchebag are like higher class hotels, restaurants, or stores (ed hardy beyotch!)
if you wanna try it out, you gotta at least have an iphone, blackberry, or android-type phone… the apps NEED to be greatly improved if they really want this social network to expand like its brethren… tho right now it’s doing fine for the basic things like checking in and seeing where your friends are… but other stuff like updating photos, to do’s, top 12’s, etc. aren’t built in
yes, it’s still relatively a baby… but who knows — try it out and see what happens… then you could be like, “i was on foursquare before ashton kutcher got on it”
new site theme is up and running!
i’m sure i forgot something so if you see any errors… lemme know (my qc guy is in town, but i’m excited to roll out with this)
not like you care, but this is hugely different than the previous theme i had (white with the red line at the top)… this one has a bit more color in it and a few more elements that i’ve picked up recently
to start, the main logo is a transparent png with a rollover AND it degrades nicely if you’re using a shitty browser like ie6…
tranny ping (not some gay dood in china)
so it’s one image, and the css switches the image when you roll over it… this method is pretty cool and super easy to pull off. the end result is clean and it loads quick!
then there’s the overall color scheme… i wish i was better at color theory, but i’m not. so i gotta do research on colourlovers for inspiration. i knew i wanted a “web 2.0″ (ugh) color scheme and i think i did it…
another thing that’s cool is the footer — i knew i wanted to do a design with a 3 column footer… i’ve seen kids these days doing it so i wanted to join that crew… i moved the archive list down here, put a short little bio (that’s a first for me), put the social networking sites, and re-added my signature in the copyright
i really like logos… especially when they’re sharp… thanks to the interwebs, i was able to find a set of illustrator vectors of the social networking site logos. so i was able to resize them down without losing quality… i used the rollover styling here as well
tranny gif this time...
and to celebrate, i’ll throw in a song… it’s actually a song i just learned on guitar — it’s SUPER simple even andy could prolly play it
it’s jason mraz’s “anything you want” off his live cd – “beautiful mess: live on earth” (hulu)
so that was a fun year of trying out new beers… i definitely beat my goal (50) by a bunch… i really need to get a final tally (i know, andy… i’ll try)
so for next year, i’m gonna do a “year of coffee” — with the overall goal of being able to order a cup of coffee at a starbucks and not sound like a re-tard… i wanna know the lingo… i want to say “skinny” regarding my drink for some reason…
hot, cold, whole bean, ground, sumatra, java… if it’s coffee, i’m gonna try it out
should be fun… i already know some places i wanna try out for some home “brewing” — world market, trader joe’s
hell, i think i’ll even get a french press… i hear they’re all the rage
i <3 my blackberry… it’s just like a computer.. i dunno why i haven’t gone the smartphone route till now…
tho the fact that it’s like a computer is kinda deadly for me — i tinker with it a ton… whether it’s changing settings or installing random apps…
i had a ton of issues in the beginning, especially when i would do a restart (quickpull) — the phone would just essentially do a BSOD
i finally figured out what was wrong — basically, the data i was restoring from wasn’t reliable… so now i know what to do if my phone dies (so i got that going for me…)
so yea, here’s a list of my favorite apps i have currently on my phone:
so those are the not-so mainstream apps out there that you might wanna give a try… i also have these more popular apps: google talk (awesome since talk got blocked at work), gmail, facebook, google sync (syncs with my google calendar!), pandora, and weathereye (shows an icon of the current weather)
yup… that’s it… i’m lazy!
before this year is through, i’ll update my beer list… i “promise” (see that? i put it in quotes so you can’t hold me to it!)
i prolly won’t be putting as much description in the posts since i drank most of them months ago…
what i do know is i won’t be doing another “year of the beer” thing next year…
yes, my alcohol tolerance has skyrocketed, but i’ve got a gut for days… christ… i’m at a point in my life where i get back injuries from playing one game of ping pong (i did win tho… suck it, andy!)
oh yea… i also wanna write up a review about this seidio booberry case i got (it’s not gonna be good for them…)
been crazy busy at work (for which i’m thankful, right? right?) — been part of some fun, major projects… another of which is almost done… and it looks like gorirra is gonna make a last quarter sprint with some (3) upcoming projects… let’s just say this year’s company christmas party is gonna be off the heezy (party of 2… ha)
so i watched ‘better off dead’ last night and i was surprised to see a very familiar scene…
don’t get it? well this’ll jog your memory:
i always wondered where the hell that reference came from — now i know… i still don’t get why they do it in the movie… tho it was made in a time where making fun of asians was hip and cool (like sixteen candles?)
here’s the line:
“Truly, a sight to behold. A man, beaten. The once great champ, now a study in moppishness. No longer the victory hungry stallion we’ve raced so many times before, but a pathetic, washed-up, aged ex-champion.”
i’m on to you, family guy…
so if you haven’t seen “drawn together” on comedy central — it’s a pretty raunchy “reality show” cartoon… this episode pretty much sums up the whole series — it’s got asian and gay jokes… and gloryholes…
ooh and i found the episode that andy always quotes
