If you’ve ever watched Comdey Central’s “Colbert Report“, you know that Stephen Colbert’s politcal satires can be pretty funny. But mocking the president right to his face takes some balls… Here’s a brief video of him roasting the president at the White House Correspondents Dinner. Funny stuff.
Google just released SketchUp, a free 3D modeling program. I have no idea yet what I could use this for, but somehow it looks pretty cool. I think I’ll play around with it a little bit and maybe build my dream house…
This is so cool. Google Maps now has detailed maps for many European cities too. Now I can finally take a close up look at Hamburg in Germany, the city where I spent a large part of my life. It’s Germany’s second largest city after Berlin, and it is an absolutely beautiful, vibrant, and cosmopolitan [...]
Now this is a little morbid… “Lightning Kills 5 Mexican Children in Prayer”. Make of that what you will…
Somebody told me that New Zealand has the highest number of golf courses per capita in the world… I believe it. There’s a course on every corner, or so it seems. And every single one is a beauty with holes like this:
… in good ol’ California. I need to catch up on news, work, and sleep… At least the weather seems to have improved, I hope there’ll be no more rain for a while. I’ll put up some more pics from my trip… soonish.
Flying into Auckland…. I am in gorgeous New Zealand again, and every time I come here, I love it even more… I am having a pretty busy week that is taking me from Auckland to Wellington to Christchurch and back to Auckland. But I did have a chance to get in a round of golf [...]
Ahhh… Nothing like a perfect three day weekend! I took Friday off and played a great round of golf with good friends at the beautiful Coyote Hills Country Club. Saturday we went to the Grand Prix of Long Beach, which was just absolutely awesome, loud, and fast… And of course, inbetween, there was a lot [...]
The NY Times launched a redesigned website a few days ago. Most of the changes are relatively subtle, but I like to overall new look a lot. And there are a couple of neat new features, such as the “Most Popular” section. Nice.
Here’s a nice little time waster for your lunch break… Bunny Hunt let’s you shoot Easter bunnies. Poor things.
Seems like almost every day, Google comes out with new features. Try a search for “homes for sale” and you get two fields where you can enter a city or zip code plus the desired listing type (“for sale” etc.). This then takes you to a page with a Google map showing listings and more [...]
What’s up with all the friggin’ rain all over California? I have a golf tournament to play on Friday, I need some sunshine, dammit!
I already have a Canon 35mm SLR camera as well as a Sony Cybershot DSC-F707, but today I decided it was time to buy a smaller camera that I can stick in my pocket and take with me everywhere I go… So I bought Canon’s nifty little PowerShot SD 450, a beautiful little piece of [...]
Once again, Daylight Saving Time has arrived. As much as I love the longer days, I can’t help but feel robbed of an hour every time DST comes around… I woke up this morning looking at my alarm clock (which doesn’t update automatically), and thought, how nice, it’s 9:30, I still have half of this [...]
