2012-01-25T18:41:00.000-08:00

Today I met a nice young lady at Heroes are Here comic shop. Her name is Erica and she is the director of the board of International Inspiration. Her organization is hosting a Art Show Fundraiser in February in Goldsboro at the Getaway Cafe downtown. You can get details at this link. All proceeds from the show will go to benifit the Creative Inspirations art and music project. Please contact international.inspiration.1@gmail.com if you would like more information on how to participate. From what I understand they are needing more art.

Hepatitis A at Fruitti Yogurt

2011-12-21T19:33:00.000-08:00

According to WNCT Eyewitness News, an employee of Fruitti Yogurt 317 Spence Ave. in Goldsboro NC had/has hepatitis A. If you visited them on Dec. 7th you should probably go get vaccinated if you haven't already been. You can contact Carolyn King of the health department a 919-731-1290.

Personally I think this sucks, for the obvious health reasons for anyone who has to deal with the Hep. But also, because I love Fruitti Yogurt and hope it stays in business through this. Too often a place will have something like this happen and everyone stops going there. PLEASE Support Local Businesses folks.

Hey Apple, why no black people Emoji?

2011-11-22T15:13:00.001-08:00

Added Emoji keyboard on my iPhone 4 after finding that it is a stock keyboard option under keyboard settings. Saw all the people icons but black faces are noticeably absent, and other ethnic groups seem to be bad racial stereotypes. What's the deal Apple?

Elder scrolls Skyrim review - without having played the game

2011-11-12T17:45:00.001-08:00

Going solely on snap impressions made from one screenshot I saw I rate this game a 5 out of 5. As far as I can tell it is a first person version of Angry birds that is being released on the N64. It features minecraft physics and the voice actor who does the strong bad cartoons makes all of the sound effects with his mouth and a slide whistle. Also, Harry Potter is the main villain.

1705197138787539128

You start with 2 trees, and some fun down below.

I also found this cute little map.

It starts you out with a town, snow, pumpkins, sugar cane and some great tunnels (including mineshafts) pretty much at spawn.

The Seed is 6809733612275022343

If you ask real nice I'll even tell you where the Underground Keep is.

This pic was taken from above spawn

If you go into the Building on the left, the small one.

You can dig straight down to some awesome tunnels.

Pop Culture Chuck Taylors Are Totally Kickin’

Pop Culture Chuck Taylors Are Totally Kickin’:

When it comes to cool shoes, these shoes are the coolest. I can’t think of a man I would rather have permanently staring out from my feet than good old Walter White. What happened to his nose? You should know better than to ask. He’ll concoct a master plan to see to it that you get what you deserve and then some. The designs are from Tauntr, who also have The Walking Dead and Dexter models, although they all appear to be just mock-ups, and not real products. Still. They are pretty awesome and I want them.

They should have made some Chuck chucks, just for the pun.
