Fuck You, Steve Jobs. Where is my credit?

2007-09-06T15:25:00.000-05:00

You launched the iPhone on AT&T only, thus turning your back on MANY loyal customers not willing to go to AT&T's services, and now you are giving a credit to the people that would buy your shit regardless of the price or conditions?

That's lame.

And the rich get richer...

I Want Candy

2007-05-31T10:03:00.000-05:00

I bought a whole lot of candy last night after listening to this all day yesterday:

I want candy, bubble gum, and taffy
Skip to the sweet shop with my sweetheart Sandy
Got my pennies saved so I'm her sugar daddy
I'm her Hume Cronyn and she's my Jessica Tandy, I want candy!

put it in a pile, split it with my bitty 50/50 down the line
kinda like close encounters of the cavity kind
im talkin liquorice kisses, talkin chocodile smiles

I want candy, i got a sugar tooth
put on your shin gaurds, Sandy, 'cause i wanna knock boots
lick my peppermint stick til' the lollipop droops
gumdrop that dont stop til' its licked knot loose

(ladies)
candy... candy...

i need candy bubble gum, and taffy
get in my way punk, you're gonna get ya ass beat, nasty
Do it till your dad sees, embarass your family
Just 'cause you came between a kid and his candy
I need candy, any kind'll do
Don't care if it's nutritious or "FDA approved"
It's gonna make me spaz like bobcats on booze
A hyperactive juice that only I can produce

And fuel a giant drill, bore straight into Hell
Releasing ancient demons from their sleep forever spell
So they can walk upon the earth, and get resituated
And Hock the diet pills that MC Pee Pants has created

I need candy, want some candy, eat candy til' I'm dead
I'll kill you for some candy, give me candy, gimme head!
Where you keepin' all the candy?!
Who made you candy king?!
If you dont give me some candy, I will make the ladies sing!

(ladies)
Candy, in tha morning, candy on the way to school
Candy, at school, at lunch in the afternoon
Candy, in school, on your way home from school
Candy, at diner,at dinner, in bed!

Mess up the mix, mix up the mess
Come on down yo, here's the address
At 6-1-2 Wharf Avenue,

Right next to, gentlemen's club.

I found the Lyrics here and the mp3s here. I'm still on the fence about what my favorite line is out of this epic classic by MC P Pants.

Who Said I Could Never Be A Homeowner?

2007-05-21T14:01:00.000-05:00

Yea, whatever! I'll have a Luxury Home in no time:

The Cardboard House represents the reduction of technology and the simplification of needs. By demonstrating that we are able to recycle 100% of the building components at extremely low cost, the Cardboard House is a direct challenge to the housing industry to reduce housing and environmental costs.

That's right, See for yourself.

Brodie's TShirt from Mallrats

2007-05-21T12:01:00.000-05:00

After finding founditemclothing.com, I have once again had the urge to find out about this T-Shirt that Jason Lee wears in Mallrats.

Brodie's shirt is supposedly a combination of the three faces of people that almost got the role of Brodie or Dante (neither has been comfirmed).

If this is true, this is going to make this shirt THAT much more difficult to get reproduced, but I guess that makes it that much more of an AWESOME T-Shirt. I'll keep you posted on my findings. I maybe able to get some "inside information" on this one, but I'm seeing what I can find on my own, first.

UPDATE: I'm apparently slacking on my internet search skills! Thanks Brando!

This is some funny stuff, even if I am no where near an upgrade to Wife 1.0.

Customization

2007-02-02T00:22:00.000-05:00

I just whipped this up to see about the customization, and you can pretty much make AWESOME CSS templates.

peep my source code there, I started with the minima black template, and edited the text color, anchor colors, and wrapped the entire thing in one more div called #wrap. This was to give the main page the white background.

I'll be doing more extensive CSS editing, and possibly building my own templates, for even more internet fame!

UPDATE: I haven't done anything I said I was going to in this post.

Testing!

2007-02-01T19:35:00.000-05:00

So, here is where I will ramble about nonsense that isn't haveboard.com worthy. Maybe this is where I will make all kinds of nerdy posts about dumb youtube videos and nerdy code talk. I just want to see how much I can customize this thing, really.
