This light bulb is promised to last 37 years. I probably need to change it one more time before I die. What a hassle.

Bad-@$$ Videogame Room
May 29, 2012 by 4 Comments
Really? An Atari Jaguar??? Didn’t it only have like 3 games? LoL.
I am not a hardcore gamer but I am definitely a gamer. The first ever video game that I played was Pong (so u can probably guess how old I am). Then I went through the Atari, Nintendo, Playstation, etc. So when I saw this picture, all I can say was AWESOME. Also this is not some non-functional museum piece – all the systems are plugged in and ready to go! Can you imagine how cool it’d be to just pick out a game on the left hand side and turn on any system and play it?! It’s safe to say, if that did happen, I could probably then die a happy man.
DIY Crystal cMoy Headphone Amp
May 29, 2012 by Leave a Comment
This is actually a headphone amplifier and it works just like an amplifier for your speaker. Audiophiles swear by it and, once you listen to one, you might also become a believer. This is a very clever design and its beautifully simple. Unfortunately, this is a concept product and is not yet for sale. The site does provide a schematic for those who are handy DIYers.

Drink: A Refreshing Drink – Beergarita
May 25, 2012 by 2 Comments
Okay, I got ahead start on my Memorial Day weekend. Last night I met up with some friends at a Mexican restaurant in Porterville, California, called El Tapatio. I really needed a drink that would beat the heat, so I had what they called a beergarita. Nothing new here but it’s new to me…
Ingredients for the Beergarita/Beer-rita
- 6.4 oz Coronita or 11 oz Corona bottles if you can’t find the Coronita size.
- 8 oz Tequila Blanco… or a bit more if you prefer, like myself.
- 1 can Frozen Limeade Concentrate
- 8 wedges Lime
- 1/2 Cup Salt
- 15 cubes Ice
Let the frozen limeade defrost on kitchen counter for approximately 5 min to soften. Open and pour limeade into 2 qt pitcher. Fill limeade can with 8 oz Tequila and pour into pitcher. Stir Tequila and limeade until thoroughly mixed. Slowly pour 24 oz of beer. Let the foam from the beer subside and add enough ice to fill the pitcher. Slowly mix ingredients and serve over ice.

Like all weekend warriors we try to drink as much water as possible when working out. I usually just buy a case of bottle water or just refill my used Crystal Geyser bottle. Yes, that’s gross and not healthy. I found the eco-friendly solution. The Vapur Element is a foldable plastic bottle, BPA free and dishwasher safe.

Indie Filmmaking – Do it Yourself Car Rig Mount
May 23, 2012 by Leave a Comment
In my ultimate endeavor to make a film, I found myself problem solving the technical needs for filming car scenes before walking into them; the rig type, the construction, the weight load and solid support are only a few of the things I considered when wanting to get those fantastic car driving shots. So I did my research and came across a couple of car mount systems that I liked, but they were just way out of my price range and involved way too many accessorizing tools, so I decided to build my own bare essentials heavy duty car rig mount that was very versatile!

“The Great Gatsby” Movie Trailer
May 22, 2012 by Leave a Comment
“The Great Gatsby” is terribly near and dear to my heart. It’s quiet, repressed, and introspective nature was beautifully contrasted against the brassy Jazz Age. The trailer looks grand and as lavish as any other Baz Luhrman film, but I don’t know, I’m a little conflicted. The trailer is too fast and focused on the glamorous aspect of Gatsby’s life and is devoid of genuine emotion and complexity. But then again, it’s just a trailer and Baz Luhrman has never been interested in sticking to original source material anyways. But still, what was up with the music choice for the trailer? Talk about awkward.
