Clear Nintendo DS Lite Case/Shell

Brian — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 01:25:07 +0000

I bought a used white Nintendo DS Lite a while back so I could play games with my daughter. I got a really good deal on it but it was white - not the coolest looking DSL. So, I bought a clear replacement shell from DealExtreme and just installed it today. Took me about 3 hours and was a major pain in the arse (though now that I have done one, I bet I could do a second MUCH quicker and easier). The result is a really great looking DS Lite. Sweet.

Yes, that’s my new venture - a purse search engine. Following on the success of Teenormous, the t-shirt search engine, we just launched The Trendy Purse. Check it out, and tell your (girl)friends, wives, etc.

One year of Teenormous and $425K in sales

Today is the one yar anniversary of Teenormous. We wrote up a long blog post detailing lots of numbers for the year (traffic, pageviews, $$$) here:
http://blog.teenormous.com/one-year-of-tees-over-400k-in-t-shirt-sales-despite-the-economy/
It has been successful beyond what we could ever have hoped for in the first year.

I started exercising

I haven’t exercised in ages so it was time to start back. I started running this week and also started the one hundred pushups program. Running sucks. I did buy nice running shoes though (Saucony). I think I may start the 200 sit-up program next week too.

Firefox plus LiveHTTPHeaders. That’s all I’m saying.

Creeper World - new PC and Mac game

Brian — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 01:49:55 +0000

A friend of mine just released his new game, Creeper World for the Mac and PC. He worked on another game a while back that was simple yet loads of fun. I’m expecting this one to be the same. I’m off to go give it a try now. From the FAQ: “Creeper World is a unique and fresh look at RTS, defense, puzzle, physics, and management based games.”

UPDATE: Ok, I must admit, Creeper World is fun. I just played through the first three levels and enjoyed it and I am NOT a strategy game fan. I will be playing the rest of the levels.

Review: Firefly Lemon Sweet Tea Vodka

Brian — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 02:49:04 +0000

I have met my new favor liquor and its name is Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka. We first tried it at a local pub and it was quite tasty so we thought we’d try and find it in the local ABC Store. Good lord this stuff is good. It’s brewed in South Carolina with tea grown in South Carolina and cane sugar from Louisiana. The bottle suggested mixing it 50/50 with spring water or lemonade and since we had some Crystal Light lemonade in the fridge we tried that.

Oh. My. God. Delicious. Barely tastes like alcohol but my wife and I were feeling the effects in no time. They also make some other variations but honestly, I’ll stick with the Sweet Tea Vodka or Lemon Sweet Tea Vodka. It’s supposedly only available in the states near SC right now but it’s going nationwide. Look for it soon.

Space is big

Brian — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 02:10:24 +0000

While looking for a domain name for this blog way back in 2005 (geez - has it been that long???) one of the domain names I considered was spaceisbig.com but it was not available at the time. I just so happened to stumble on a quotes site, and was (re-)reading some Douglas Adams quotes and ran across the quote from him:

Space is big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it’s a long way down the road to the chemist’s, but that’s just peanuts to space.

so I checked and what do you know, spaceisbig.com was available! So I bought it today! I pout the quote up on the site and was thinking about putting the NASA astronomy picture of the day widget but couldn’t find a good widget to do it. Maybe later. or not.
