Wiz Khalifa – Say Yeah

so when I was in LA a few weeks ago I was listening to power 106 and I thought they were mixing live on the air when I first heard this song. but then I heard it again and again. I actually like it, i think its cause of the old school alice deejay better off alone beats. I’ve been hoping to hear it on the radio here but its not getting much airplay so i had to youtube it.

the power of the internet

the internet has always been a great resource but you have got to check this out. a skyline gtr was stolen from a car dealer in canada and the owner just posted it on a local forum. within 2 days the culprit was caught with the help of the internet! the news spread like wildfire all over the internet to various car forums and even non-car forums. pictures were snapped of this kid and cops were called in. biggest clue in finding the kid was that he was missing 2 fingers!

here is a picture that JAYMEZ from the Beyond forums  (read more at the site) snapped of the kid driving the skyline after he stole it. (notice his missing fingers)

 great stuff! so next time you lose something…post it on the internet!

cliffnotes if you dont read the entire forum::

  • kid went to used car dealership to look at gtr
  • uses fake name and number, is allowed to take on test drive by himself
  • doesnt come back
  • owner posts on forum to keep a look out for his car
  • turns out the kid is out joy riding trying to race people, for 2 days.
  • people see him, take pictures
  • find his address stake out his house
  • find his facebook, and his gf’s facebook
  • kid shows up at his house with skyline, the kids staking out the house wait and block it in
  • cops show up, guy gets his car back

gnr and dp

no better combination between axl and dr pepper. check out this article about getting free pepper once axl releases his album (which will probably suck).

shades of red

the 2nd race of 2008 is in the books. Kimi gets his first win and Massa blows a ferrari 1-2. The last 2 races have been awesome and I hope BMW puts the fight to Mclaren. Hamilton just annoys me badly…so badly that I would rather have Alonso beat him and you all know how I feel about that guy.

Yeah, we should put it in the mouth not in the eye. Things go wrong sometimes.

sunny LA to gloomy MD

After spending a week in sunny LA I come back to 2 straight days of rain and gloominess and this is the forecast for the next few days! It’s the first day of spring and we have wonderful weather coming up. Possible snow showers and temps hovering around freezing at night. SWEET!

And I took almost 400 pictures in LA so I’m still sorting them.

sow cow

A week from now I will be awake before the butt-crack of dawn and hoping to catch my super early flight to Los Angeles. It’s been about 8 month’s since I’ve been there, can you believe it? Just need some time to relax and set my sights on some new goals. I need some sun since it appears to be hiding from the east coast.

And of course I’ve been craving some good eats so hopefully I’ll be able to get my fill…

What can i say? I love to eat but looking forward to warm weather, good eats, good company, good shopping and nightlife – all of which seems to be lacking here.

electr-o-sketch

so for our final project in this electrical engineering class at Cornell we decided to use a serial mouse to control an etch-a-sketch. everyone in the class is required to make a webpage for the project, and somehow our project got recognized. first it was put on slashdot (link here), and then it was included in this Forbes article “Five custom gadgets you can’t buy” (link here). and then today it showed up on boingboing and caused my email to be flooded with questions and comments. here is a link to the boingboing post. who would have figured our silly project would actually get recognized.

the original project page can be found here.

i found some old video and uploaded it to youtube:
