I got this in an e-mail and just had to share this!! It’s too funny!!! LOL… It’s not even a full size box!! 😀
Transformers The Movie (2007): The Review
Now, they are a plane and Camaro, respectively. Whoopie… 
I wasn’t too thrilled about it… but being a fan from the yonder years, I still had to watch it.
Thanks to local Chinese church’s VBS (Vacation Bible School), I had free time! So I went to watch it tonight. It was… ok. Too much modernization for me… I guess I will be cursed as the old school when it comes to Transformers.
*SPOILER ALERT*
They killed off Megatron way too easily and way too fast, in my opinion. Plot was just meh… I felt that the original animated movie had better plot. And the action was just too fast… didn’t have time to absorb the sequences at all. Felt like the second half of the movie was just way too fast paced. Die Hard 4 was better at that… oh well.
And Starscream was way more annoying!! Frenzy?! What the… Soundwave was da man! Oh well… Still, there is a difference between “staying up to date” and trying to “woo the younger crowd with latest CG by abandoning your roots”. In this case, they came *THIS* close to abandoning the roots.
DSL modem went kaputt: Offline for 2 days!
Whew… after 2 days of troubleshooting, it was determined that my DSL modem was dead. Kaputt. So I had to buy one of those DSL modem/wireless router combo crap.
Thankfully, it works ok. Why can’t they sell them separately? In certain things like wireless routers, I don’t like to combine everything into one… one thing goes wrong, all is dead.
Anyhow, that was a boring but busy weekend.Â
Blue Cotton: Make your own T-shirt design online and print it!
I came across Blue Cotton website thru good ol’ Gizmodo. Website lets you design your own T-shirt logo and print them just the way you like it!! 😀 Good site to remember for logo shirts and such.
Rideable Vacuum Cleaner Concept!
When I saw this rideable vacuum cleaner concept, I just cracked up! 😀 My kids would love it too much and probably break everything in the home, but props to Kristina Andersson for such an awesome idea!!
Hybrid Auto Sales up 53% … are you surprised?!
Shoot. I hope no one is surprised! 😛 With gas prices around $3/gallon, if I were to buy a new car, I’d seriously consider hybrids… at least higly fuel efficient ones. Gas companies and car companies alike should get the message to their brains… that we the consumers are sick of paying too much for the gasoline and that we want cars that are better at fuel economy!!
Time to dump my wife’s gas guzzler! 😮 😛

Is that sufficient to be categorized as a nerd/geek? I believe that geeks are mostly pretty benign and safe people. Nerds however can be somewhat stuck up. 😛 Geeks are the ones that make the world go around. Understanding people that are different from you is part of what makes you a human. Fearing difference is the beginning of violence among humans. Trying to understand that difference and embracing is what love is.
