What's the weirdest thing you've eaten?

Posted by goldfixe

This is mine...



It would be awesome if the 4 people who actually read this blog leave a comment in answer to the title question: What's the weirdest thing you've eaten? That way we can all join the
disgusting fun. I know Mike Rogan is doing pretty well already with chocolate
covered scorpions. What else you got?

I did it. I found the best beatboxer on the planet. Do not be fooled by his commonplace appearance. Your mind is about to be blown.





In your face, Rahzel!!

Isn't Photoshop great?

For those who don't know I am in a degree program that is a mix of graphic arts, web design and printing. I get to learn cool stuff that I really enjoy. This wasn't a school project but I thought I would share it with you. I learned some really cool techniques from a tutorial and turned this photo......









Into this......














I didn't "draw" any of it. It's basically a compilation of 12 different pics or so. Just blended together so it looks relatively seamless.

Cool, huh? Well...at least I think so.

DTv: is it really that big of a deal?

Posted by goldfixe

Okay, so I'm watching Conan O'Brien tonight and he mentions that today is the big day where all tv goes digital and analog is abandoned. I thought it was bad enough when the local news channels were having a countdown every day. At the end of each news cast they would tell you haw many more days until D(tv)-Day. Honestly, do they think they are going to lose that many viewers? It's like if limburger cheese suddenly disappeared and were never made again. Most people wouldn't care because it's gross and there are other chees

es and the people who like limburger are few in number and stupid. That's the best analogy I could come up with. The limburger obviously represents analog tv and shows how small of a loss it is, for those who couldn't quite follow (if you got lost you most likely have an analog tv set). I'm quite confident in saying that those left in the digital dust with old analog sets are more than likely over the age of 75 and, lets face it, probably don't remember what they had for breakfast let alone remember to go buy a new-fangled converter box that one of their great-grandchildren will have to install for them. Don't get me wrong, I like old people just fine (some of them, anyways). But this demographic is less likely to have a new Samsung LCD in their living room. Instead, I envision a tv encased in wood, you know the kind. The kind where you have to get up and turn a dial to change the channel. Classic.


If you are currently unsure if you have successfully made the switch from analog to digital, I've included and easy to read flowchart from a favorite website of mine.

I accidentally ate the sticker on my apple...

...man, I hope they don't make stickers out of Swine Flu. Otherwise, I'm screwed.

Where is this magical place where animals ride other animals for entertainment?

Apparently Belgium is just one big musical...

Posted by goldfixe


When I started watching this I wasn't really that impressed because it was just a handful of people dancing...but then I continued to watch and was thoroughly impressed.  The whole time all I could think about were those lame/awesome dances they teach you at EFY.  Imagine if this happened somewhere you were.  Would you join in?  I totally would and then I'd totally ruin it because I life's not really a musical and I wouldn't instantly know the choreography.  If ony life were so simple/gay.

In case of Zombies...

Posted by goldfixe


Someone in Austin, TX hacked into these traffic signs with hilarious results.

One day it will be real and there will be Nazi Zombies on the streets of Austin and no one will believe it because some nerd thought he'd play a joke on Texas DOT.

Your brains will be the first to be eaten, hackers!!!

Here's a news story on the incident.

Birth of a New Guitar

Posted by goldfixe




So I’m pretty much addicted to wanting every guitar I see. More often than not, the price is way more than I can afford or even imagine affording some day in the future. So, since I can’t buy the guitars I want now, I figured I’d just build one that has feature I like from other guitars all combined into one less-expensive guitar. So that’s what I’ve been doing.

Over the past few weeks I’ve been eBay-ing and Craig’s List-ing like an addict (more than usual anyways). I’ve purchased a body (Stratocaster style) a loaded, pre-wired pick guard and a neck. I think I have one or two small things to get but I can get those locally.

So the body I got is all black. I already have an all black guitar and do not want another one. So I’m going to paint it myself. I’ll have to sand it down, prime it, paint it and lacquer the crap out if it so it’s nice and shiny. What will it look like, you ask? Well, so far I’ve only told Kristi and it’ll probably stay a secret until it’s nearing completion. If you’re lucky I’ll change my mind and give you updates along the way but not sure yet. As far as colors, it will include orange as the main color, which should make my sister happy. I’m super excited about this project, as I’ve never “built” a guitar before. Lucky for me though I have an uncle that knows a ton of handy guitar skills that I will most likely consult in this project.

Wish me luck!!

And, yes, this is a real...thing.
