This vid is hilarious… 9 year old kid curses his mom out over chocolate milk, on X-Box live clan match. Man what’s wrong with kids these days?

Oklahoma Automatic Class III Gun Shoot off video. R. Lee Ermey on Mail Call yesterday’s show had coverage on it, but I like this guys view more. Check out the kid go at it. LOL

Special thanks to the MTA Transit Worker Union for being cry babies and selfish. Thank you for making my commute a living hell and making life so complicated. In one fell swoop, you had sympathetic New Yorkers that originally supported you, completely turn against you. You guy s are selfish.

Seriously your demands are ridiculous. 15% raise? And what company in their right mind in ANY industry has a 50 year old retirement age? Get real. Reality check for you. It’s time to hire regular working folk that is in tune with realistic market demands. Your base salary is $60,000 for crying out loud to move subways, sell metro cards, and maintain the rails. If any only the maintenance workers who worked on the upgrades, and especially those who worked hard to fix the rail after that fire on the C line. You want a raise, work for it and make your case why YOU personally deserve a raise. Don’t ride the coat tails of your peers under the guise of a union. Work for you pay like the rest of us. Period.

NY’ers are getting annoyed at you. Here’s the proof: (I took this pic)

EDIT: finally. it’s over. Welcome back. Please don’t do that agian. It’s not cool (seriously!)

FYI folks… both Caroline and I have new cell phone #’s (and new cell phones, well her at least). Please email me if you need the new #, as I know I missed a few people in the mass email. Tmobile was being jerks about not giving her a fair upgrade price if we moved our phones to a large family plan (from 2 seperate full $50 plans). We wanted $50 at most for a Razr upgrade to keep our #’s. They didn’t budge. Since the accounts are in her name, we opened new ones in my name under a family plan. 2 new Razrs for free after rebate. Tmobile are idiots… Seriously. They just created more overhead for themselves since they were so stingy on customer retention. That and we ALMOST switched to Cingular. That’s a $100 month loss to their profit line if we left them. Idiots. The only reason we really stayed was because I have an imported Nokia 6230i which only runs on GSM 1900, and Cingular runs GSM 850. Tmobile lucked out this time…

And you thought your neighbors were bad? This guy’s programming the lights to work with the music is uber-geekyness… Yet it’s sooo cool. Check out the video here. (right click, save as)

Also… Got an email from YesAsia about listing the top 11 asian movies to see. Out of the list, I really want to watch “Neighbor #13″ as I liked the twisted Oldboy plot. The list can be seen here.

Can anyone beat this? Weird game. LOL

Think you’ve got idiot peers at work? Well the award for this year has to go to this guy who’s trader typo sold 610,000 shares valued at $3.1 billion dollars at 1 yen (about a $1) each, resulting in a $244 million dollars. While technically it IS his fault, one really has to wonder WTF system designer let someone arbitrarily have THAT much control over a stock price. That’s scary that the trade desk software, especially in the billions of dollars would 1. allow a price that deviates from the standard deviation of the current price, and 2. allows the sale of such a huge block of trades without safegards. Most trade desks would sell such a block in smaller chunks to avoid tanking the price. The other theory could be that the system is so severely outdated that you can punch in anything. I’m guessing a 1/4 billion dollar loss will fix that issue. Press more for my cache of the article.

Ok, so what the heck. Anyhow I was away in Redmond, WA for a Microsoft conference (plus I couldn’t visit or do anything since they were 8AM-10PM sessions), and had to bolt home late night Thursday (Friday 2AM) since my flight was going to be cancelled due to the snow. Anyways, while I was away apparently a mystery maple-syrup smell engulfed NYC, and apparently this happened in October as well. Hazmat and NYPD tested the air, but found nothing, and were unable to trace the source of the smell. Threat or guerilla marketing? Here’s the ABC News Link, or press more for my cache of the story.

Also Google Transit is now available. It’s like google maps but it’ll plot what public transportation you can take to get to your location. REALLY cool.
