Act I and II are up, final act will be up tomorrow and will ‘disappear‘ at midnight the 20th. Catch it while you can (or use Orbit Downloader to save it. It made me listen to the Buffy Musical again and is this is really getting songs stuck in my head. On a side note I hope to return to regular (or at least more regular) scheduled blogging on more technology related things. I just find it funny how life throws you more just as you try to cut down on things. Now if I only had a freeze ray…..
I love Discovery, making great ads
[Original Version with subtitles (hover over the video)]
[Short Version]
I love XKCD with their parody
I love the community and project 442
I love musical stage sing songs
Boom de yada, boom de yada,
Boom de yada, boom de yada
– end of singing in tune to the ad –
Ok I know, in the last clip with Mike Rowe the text states ‘boom de ah dah’, but since to me XKCD > Discovery Channel, it’s ‘boom de yada’ =p. The Discovery file download says ‘Boomdeyada’ too so yeah =D

XKCD version for project 442
To watch out for: project 442’s video rendition by the community of XKCD Loves the Discovery Channel. I certainly hope they don’t play around too much with this: it’s nice and simple, yet great so let’s keep it that way. Discovery don’t mess this up by trying to do some over budgeted and/or cheesy rendition of it or anything to ruin it, kapish?
It’s been quite a long time since I’ve been able to enjoy the me that I used to be. The days of Digg, Reddit, Ars Technica, Brudirect RSS reading have been something I’ve shelved for the past few months. That and geeking out: playing around with J2ME / PHP / Linux. I’ve been trying to get back in the groove of what I used to do and at relish the experience but alas the things I throw at the wall don’t seem to stick. I guess in the busyness / constancy / way that life has been for the past few months I’ve lost a part of who I was.
The past few weeks have been filled with changes: I’m an uncle now and the challenges of last and this week have been a great learning experience. I know there always comes a time when we lose ourselves and in order to get back to our ‘old selves’ we try to do things way we used to in hopes to achieve the same past experiences. I’ve done a bit of that recently and I haven’t been getting anywhere. So I have 2 options as I see it: 1) try some more or 2) see what this new phase of life has to offer me, and I’m seemingly tired of trying. The last few days God has revealed things to me and I just pray that He continue to reveal what this new phase in life is for. So I wait for an answer to this journey’s life question.
Your Water Bottle IS Dangerous
If your water bottle is made of polycarbonate plastic—and most Nalgene and Camelbak bottles sold over the last few years are—it’s probably unsafe for you to use.Nalgene, the largest manufacturer of outdoor water bottles, announced today that it will stop selling bottles made of polycarbonate. Polycarbonate contains a manmade chemical called bisphenol A (BPA), which leaches from the plastic at levels dramatically higher than previously thought.
Time to throw away your Nalgene bottles
Polycarbonate contains a chemical called bisphenol A (BPA) which has been linked to numerous health problems including breast and prostate cancer, brain damage, endocrine system disruptions, higher levels of testosterone in men and women, recurrent miscarriages, and chromosomal defects in fetuses.
…..
HOW DO I KNOW IF MY BOTTLE HAS BISPHENOL A IN IT?
Look on the bottom of the bottle for a number surrounded by three arrows. Polycarbonate bottles are categorized as number seven. Note that seven is the catchall “other” category for plastics—all polycarbonates are seven, not all sevens are polycarbonates.
Basically if you see the following image below on your bottle somewhere you could be at risk. 07 represents ‘other’ plastics not categorized such as polycarbonate, fiberglass and nylon; polycarbonate plastic is the plastic in question.
And to think I first heard this on Jumping Monkeys several weeks back
