What one film do you think everyone should see?
Sponsored by The Official AVATAR Community on TypePad. See AVATAR in theaters December 18, 2009.
Not AVATAR! I'm not at all interested in seeing this movie.
And to answer the question, there is no ONE movie that everyone should see.
Here are 5:
- Star Wars (the original, when Han shot first)
- The Matrix (the first one)
- Fight Club
- Pulp Fiction
- Animal House

The article summary from Yahoo! Tech has some interesting information. Which really isn't that surprising. It doesn't even mention that your laptop is probably out of date about a month after you buy it. All this really says to me, as I've always believed, is why spend thousands of dollars on a laptop. Most of the ones under $500 will do exactly what you need. Unless you're playing games or working heavily on specific tasks, for most of us who use our laptops to surf the web and listen to a little music and sync our MP3 players and store pictures of the kids, the cheaper laptops will do fine.
I'm speechless. x
I probably should have ordered 2. One for work and one for home. Maybe I'll transport it back and forth.
At least a good part of it. I spend installing this new kitchen faucet. The spray part on the bottom of the old one broke off, so whenever we turned on the faucet we got a shower. And the sprayer part, which was a separate piece, had a broken handle, so it didn't work at all.
It was time. I had put this off for weeks, probably a month. I needed to buy the new one. I was never really sure about doing it myself. Something just happened on Saturday and I said what the heck. I'm going to do this. "There is no try, only do or do not."
I went to Home Depot and purchased the new faucet, a basin wrench, plumbers putty, and a cover for where the old sprayer was. About $150.
I cleaned everything out from under the sink. Found a few tools. As the morning went on, I went back and forth to find a few more tools. Of course most of the old sink was pretty well attached and stuck. WD-40 became a good friend. Along with the eye protection.
One side of the water to the sink had been replaced when we had the fridge with water and ice maker installed. So there was a nice, new shut-off valve on the cold side. I was not so lucky with the hot side. There was no shut-off. I had to turn off the water to the entire house.
Eventually i got the old sink out. It was at this point I realized I needed a shut-off valve, what I had under the sink was NOT going to work to connect to the new faucet. A quick trip to True Value in town and some great help from the gentleman there and I had a new supply line, and two choices of sizes for the shut-off.
Got them home and the 5/8 didn't fit, neither did the 3/8. I realized I didn't need anything special to put this on a different part of the pipe. I just had to cut the pipe. And for that I did have a hacksaw. A little sawing and mission accomplished. Shut-off installed. I made sure they were turned off and turned the main water back on. NO LEAKS.
I had removed the new faucet from the box and looked over the contents. But it was at this point, with the old faucet and sprayer removed (thanks to a chisel and a hammer to loosen it up) that i found out, i was missing the base of the new faucet that covered the three holes.
A trip back to Home Depot. And a quick exchange and a hope that this one would have all the parts.
It did.
The rest of the installation was pretty simple. I even managed to do a decent job with the plumbers putty.
The new sink works and you don't get a shower, unless you want one.
I feel a great accomplishment for completing this all by myself without professional help.
I spent most of the day cussing at the old sink. And I came out of it with just one injury. At the end while climbing under the sink to check for leaks, I bumped my forehead on the drain pipe. I soon noticed my forehead was bleeding from a tiny scratch.
Not bad for about 5 hours of work.
Are you on twitter? Do you follow Tony Hawk? If so, you probably know about the current THTH (Tony Hawk Twitter Hunt) that is currently underway.
tonyhawk Madison, WI: SP WI Sheehan sk8 park, creek bed between diamonds and park. look in the bushes. you will find your prize. #THTH
On Wednesday someone hid one of Tony's skateboards in my town. I saw the tweet two minutes after it was posted. And I grabbed my coat and keys and told me coworkers I was heading out the door and would be back in an hour. By the time I got to my car, someone had posted that the package was found. It took less than 10 minutes.
Evidently he was skating that day, in the rain, and saw someone digging in the bushes. He then found the package. I was so close to finding a Tony Hawk skateboard. That would have been cool.
Granted I don't skate. But it would have been sweet to find. I'm not really sure what I would have done with it. If it's signed I probably would have donated it to the local skatepark so they could raffle it off to build their new park. Or I could have it framed and hung on the wall at home.
I haven't seen the video. It's blocked here at work.
This could drastically change the electronics industry. I mean bluetooth is cool. I don't use it because I find it cumbersome and battery consuming. This would use wi-fi, which already consumes my wi-fi battery. And maybe I'd be able to link up with someone else's phone or even my laptop and latch onto the internet connection it already has. I'm sure apple will find someway to not make this available on first gen or non-3G iPhones.
Pretty cool idea. It's a 9v USB (Cell phone) charger for about $15 plus a few other tools.
Anyone got the soldering stuff?
