Internet War on Scientology !?!?

My friend Ryan told me about how this internet hacking group has declared war on scientology. Sounded like a joke, but I guess it was real. He was in the IRC channel with all of them and it was jam packed with people. Most likely young kids with the software tools to send attacks to the scientology websites. They were pretty successful in taking them down briefly. Digg has been populated with Scientology topics the last 2 days about them and other f#*ked up stuff they do.

Pretty entertaining what Anonymous is doing if you ask me.

Some links to some stuff.

News article summary on the attacks

Digg Topic popular today.

They teach Jesus is a pedophile?!?

Tom Cruise I used to like you. Damn you and your crazy cult.

Netflix

I am pretty sure everyone knows what Netflix is, but if you don’t it is basically an online DVD rental service where they will send you DVDs through the mail and there are no late fees. To get more DVDs just send them back as fast as you can. Some common rental plans are 1, 2, 3 DVDs out at a time for a set price a month. The current cost can be found here http://www.netflix.com/HowItWorks .

I love the Netflix site because it is very well throughout and a pretty clean interface. I compared it to the Blockbuster online site and thought Netflix won hands down. You can just spend lots of time on the site and Continue reading ‘Netflix’

Black Friday Aftermath

After Turkey Day dinner drove by Best Buy that is on my way home at around 11 PM just to see how many crazy shoppers there were. There was a line wrapped around the building! There were tents, sleeping bags, etc everywhere. I saw this couple drive up in a fat Mercedes at 11 to line up and I was like WTF why do they need to spend 7 hours in line?!?! Anyways I am not that hard core so I went home and slept. Woke up at around 8am and went to Best Buy & Circuit City with my sister. Only got the 300 dvd for like 6 bucks. Was unable to find a tv.

Later that night I went back to Circuit City because I saw a Sony online for sale for 1299.99. I went in the store, agonized about the decision, and when the salesman told me it was actually 1199.99 I was sold instantly. I was debating the decision to buy a slightly better spec Samsung online, but when I saw that very Samsung with a dead pixel at the store, I took that as a sign that I shouldn’t risk having to ship a TV back because of a defect. So in the end I purchased 1080P 40 inch LCD screen, Model KDL-40v2500. Now to purchase a Xbox 360 soon.

Here are some quick shots of the TV setup.

Wicked the Musical

Um yeah I’m going to write about Wicked the Musical. Uh I dunno if you would consider this Otaku at all, maybe kinda girly, but whatever I loved it! My girlfriend bought tickets and we went 2 weeks ago. It was by far the best live action production I have ever seen. The story is basically about the Wicked Witch of the West in the story of
“The Wizard of Oz.” It was based off the Wicked, but of course it has been tweaked for Broadway.

Went to the Hollywood showing at the Pantages theater . Acting was great, singing was great, production values very high. I highly recommend buying tickets and watching it. It is suitable for all ages. I would even consider going to watch it again at some point. Should of listened to my friend earlier and watched it sooner.

Crocodile Shoes

an old joke I recently saw printed in front of the urinal at the local bar. Found it again the internet.

an Old one but still good..

A blonde was on vacation and driving through Darwin. She desperately
wanted to take home a pair of genuine crocodile shoes but was very
reluctant to pay the high prices the local vendors were asking.

After becoming very frustrated with the “no haggle on prices” attitude
of one of the shopkeepers, the blonde shouted,”Well then, maybe I’ll
just go out and catch my own crocodile, so I can get a pair of shoes
for free”

The shopkeeper said with a sly, knowing smile, “Little lady, just go
and give it a try!”

The blonde headed out toward the river, determined to catch a crocodile!

Later in the day, as the shopkeeper is driving home, he pulls over to
the side of the bank where he spots the same young woman standing
waist deep in the murky water, shotgun in hand. Just then, he spots a
huge 3 metre croc swimming rapidly toward her. With lightning speed,
she takes aim, kills the creature and hauls it onto the slimy banks of
the river. Lying nearby were 7 more of the dead creatures, all lying
on their backs.

The shopkeeper stood on the bank, watching in silent amazement. The
blonde struggled and flipped the Croc onto its back. Rolling her eyes
heavenward and screaming in great frustration, she shouts out,
“Bugger,

“THIS ONE’S BAREFOOT, TOO!’
