Entouraaaaaage
Entourage is about the only show I watch anymore. I just wish my parents had HBO so I could watch it tonight. :( When I get back to AZ I can watch the newest episodes again.

PS3 Price Cuts or Bust
I can see sony doing a price cut because I'm sure the cost of the parts have lowered since the release of the console. Other then that sole reason I don't see why there should be a price cut.

What Should we do?
I love Washington's minimum wage even though I haven't work for like 3 years. It makes it hard for me to get a job in Arizona while I'm down there for school when their minimum wage is like $2 lower. I would definitely talk to your boss because that isn't fair for you. I saw this same situation play out when I did work and the guy that was in your position quit because they never gave him the wage he deserved.

Bikes
Cycling for me is like a daily activity for me. I own a 2007 Schwinn Le Tour GS which I got two years ago for when I first started college. During the second week of June this year I built my first bike, spent around $600 on everything. I started building the bike going in planning on making a single speed but I ended up turning it into a fixed gear but after doing around a 30 mile bike ride last week through Seattle I've decided to throw a freewheel on the left side of my wheel hub so I can switch between a fixed gear and a single speed whenever I want.

Your first car wreck.
Luckily I have never been in a car wreck of my own. I am the only person in my family who hasn't damaged one of our cars in some sort of accident but I'm sure my time is coming..

Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen
I grew up watching Transformer and I was pretty happy with the first one as a fan of the series. I'm definitely going and seeing the second one when it comes out. Megan Fox is so hot I don't see why she wouldn't appeal to you.

10.6 Snow Leopard
That is why it is only going to cost $29 to upgrade from Leopard because it is really just a bunch of "behind the scene" updates.

Holocaust museum shooting and hate crimes
Why does everyone keep asking why he killed a non-jew or didn't kill a jew instead of the guard? You can't always tell someone's religion by how they look and act. My best answer to that question would be that he was a security guard someone who could threaten the shooters plan by either shooting him (if he carried a gun) or contact the DC police. Also from the article it says he started shooting as soon as he walked in the door. Someone in a uniform stands out and I'm sure he automatically stereotyped him as a threat because of that.

Holocaust museum shooting and hate crimes
I don't feel like "hate-crimes" are growing I feel like this is just one extreme situation where it brings "hate-crimes" into the spotlight for the time being. I was in Amsterdam about two weeks ago and I meet a group of british people at pub and on our way to another pub one of the guys was drunkenly telling me how there down with America and stuff and how he agreed with our war because of how much he disliked people from the middle-east and stuff because of how different they are. It was interesting to listen to but I definitely don't agree with his views about people from the middle-east. My brother actually went to England and he told me how the English really do dislike people of that region who have migrated to the UK. He told me a situation that he experience but I don't want to drag on.

How do I make money...
I don't think an article of an abandoned pub burning down is very important for a newspaper to buy a picture for to be honest. Something like that you could contribute a picture to the paper and if it ends up making the front page you'll get your rightful credit for it which would be pretty cool even if you don't get paid. Try looking into freelance photography I'm sure there is a site out there that could help you figure out how to get started selling photos to your local paper and such.

Lets make some pillow talk
I generally don't care to much on what type of pillow I use but I prefer a semi-firm pillow to lay on. I'm also not big on brands when it comes to pillows but I do own a brand pillow only because I got it really cheap after christmas and I needed to burn some money on a gift card.

The Hangover: AMAZING comedy
I'm probably going to end up seeing this movie when it comes out on DVD because I'm going to be pretty busy the next week or two and wont have time to get out and see it but it does look promising. It had the third best opening weekend for a R rated film earning like 43 million or something when it was projected to earn 20 on it's opening weekend.

PSP Go : Now True
I read today that the PS3 is looking at a price cut in August when Madden 10 is released. I'd post my source but I forgot where I read it this morning.

World cup 2010!
U S A!! I have to support my country. I want to see that trophy come back here to the US. The one country were the majority of its population doesn't consider soccer a "real" sport.

Nike+
I've always found the Nike+ system to be pretty interesting but I'm not about to go buy special shoes just so I can use it. I'd rather just buy the sensor and use it in shoes I already own and save the money so I've never bought the sensor or the shoes. Maybe one day I'll go and buy it but that would be if I ever got into running or jogging on a daily bases or something.

Funny things to do in an elevator
Agreed. I hate people that [bleep] with elevators and none of it is funny.

Possible Missing Link
Really, it's a primate, with a similar skull to humans and an opposable thumb: something no fossil has had before in the class. Still, I want hard proof not mights, could be, etc. I hate to speculate. I do find it really cool find for science but as of right now I just see it as a huge publicity item.

The Inbetweeners
What is The Inbetweeners???

Possible Missing Link
Until they prove its link to humans, it is just another fossil to me.

Login
I'm running Safari 4 and it runs pretty clean. When you scroll the mouse over either the username & password box the bottom of the login box shrinks a little.

Do YOU Wear a Helmet While Riding a Bike/Skateboard/Other?
No, I do not wear a helmet while riding my bike, or longboard. I've crashed two serious times on my bike and both times I came out fine. I've also crashed about five times on my longboard and the only thing I've ever broke is my watch (3 times) and gotten a few scrapes. I have a helmet a pretty expensive one too which I've only wore once since I got it when I got my bike almost two years ago. I probably would wear my helmet more if I wasn't [developmentally delayed]ed and got a mountain bike helmet instead of a road helmet like I should of :wall: . So if anyone is interested in trading a Giro road helmet for a Giro mountain helmet hit me up!

Space by me
I think I'm going to try and add a galaxy. I've tried planets along time ago, but I was never very good at them but I might try to make a smaller one that doesn't dominate the the picture. I also didn't use a tutorial, I didn't actually find one I liked when I started or find the Greg Martin tutorial. I just used a couple of examples from deviantart to get an idea of what to do. This also isn't the first time I've done a space scene so I already had some prior knowledge of what to do, not a lot but enough to get start.

Run-ins with the law
I've had only one serious run in with the law. Was at some desert party last year, cops came and rounded like five of us up and told us we were in serious trouble because we were on federal property #-o. While the cop went back to his car, we all hurried over to my truck and quickly drove away before the guy got back. I feel like the cop was just trying to give us a hard time because it was fairly easy to get away, even through a police check point at the end of the road we took to leave the place. Other then this I haven't had many run in with cops. I've never got a ticket before which I'm pretty grateful for.
