New BikeCam idea
I hate being on video but I was thinking before I went to bed that when I start riding again I should turn the cam on me. That way people can see me in action and can finally show off my singing talents roflmfao!
Cool Cellphone Concept
I wanted to share this. I found this on the Dvice.com website from SyFy channel. Here is the link:
WindowPhone concept points to future of touch cell phones
I think that's really neat. It's a new cell phone concept that is a clear see through phone. When it's raining outside you see rain drops on the display. When it's snowing your display looks fogged up as if it has frost on it. When it's a nice sunny day then you get a clear see through display. When you want to text you blow on the display then you can write the numbers/letters with your finger and it translates your writing into text to call someone or to type a text message. Tuvie demonstrates that.
Ok now you might be asking yourself, Mike, how does this power up if you can see through it? I got your answer. Nanotechnology. Here is a flexible transparent battery that charges up in 1 minute. Yes, I said 1 minute. Ok you got me Mike, so, what about all the rest of the parts of the phone? Well, do you see the top of the phone that's black that you can't see through? Perhaps that has the nano processor and all that jazz in there? Who knows. Or maybe if they can make a flexible transparent battery then they can make everything else flexible and transparent.
I think the display is LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) or perhaps it's color e-ink so it probably doesn't use any battery power.
Ok so what about a speaker and a mic Mike? I don't know lol I didn't design this. Perhaps it is bluetooth ready so all you need is the bluetooth or maybe it comes with the bluetooth ear piece.
All I know is that I probably won't be able to afford one. I still use the Nokia 3390 from 2002 lol.

Scared Shitless from YouTube
Have you seen these videos on YouTube that claim that there is a "real ghost" or a "car accident" and they show a car driving on a road. You see a lot of green grass and trees and it's winding down this road then all of a sudden this scary figure of a female ghost shows up on the screen and you hear a screaming sound. All of a sudden your legs slam into the keyboard tray, your glasses have also flown up in the air and landed in your lap and one of the arms are now bent and the headphones that were turned up full blast are on the floor.
Yeah, I hate it when they do that on YouTube.
Want to see the video I'm talking about? Are you sure? Are you absolutely sure? Be 100% positive that you want to see it. If you have a heart condition please do not watch this. Now please turn your volume down or off, remove your glasses, push in your keyboard tray and click here. I will not be held liable for anything happening.

Shafter Police Officer Video Tapes Attack
I just saw this on the Bakersfield Californian website via Facebook.
Caught on tape: Shafter officer inadvertently videotapes himself beating suspect
This cop in Shafter turned off the safety on his taser which turned the video camera on and he inadvertently video taped himself beating a suspect who was not resisting arrest. He had his taser in 1 hand and his baton in the other hand which is what he beat him with.
Q: Do you think the city and county ought to buy cameras for all their police tasers, like Shafter has done?
A: They have the dashboard cameras for chases, they should be video taped the entire time, not just when they pull people over but also when they have to run after a suspect and they are far from the vehicle. It protects them but it also protects us from them.
Britain has head-mounted video cameras for their police officers and I think that America needs that too. Although, this article says that it cost $6 million dollars for 2,000 cameras and that's probably more than our countries budget can afford, especially since the deficit is much higher now. But perhaps this will be put in place some time in the future. Maybe certain cities can buy 1 for each of their officers that go out on the streets only. Maybe this will force them to be peace officers instead of dickhead officers.

My Shoulder Exercises
Yesterday I tried to find the poster in PDF format of the exercise guide for my Weider Total Body Works 5000 home gym but I couldn't find it anywhere. I have the poster that came with it but it's washed out in the sun. I took several pictures of the poster so that I could combine them all using the panorama thing in Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.
The pictures that I took suck because I took them in my bedroom and it's really dark in here so the white of the poster looks dark yellow. I would like to do it all over again outside so the white shows up as white instead of as dark yellow.
The point of me doing that was so that I could crop certain exercises out and put them all side by side and print onto a sheet of 4x6 photo paper so that I can carry out there with me so I can hold it up and look at it easier.
So I picked out 8 exercises that I could do for my shoulder. I picked out all the ones that are for the rear part of the shoulder since that's where my pain is. Although yesterday the pain moved to the front, well it's back where it belongs, in the back of my shoulder. So I'm going to focus on working that muscle to fix the problem.
Even though it sucks really bad, here are the exercises that I chose. You can click it to see it full size. It looks horrible but it looks better on 4x6 paper. When I get time before my Stargate shows come on I'm going to go out there and try it again so I get it right. Then at least I'd be able to share it with the world since nobody else has it for download. Oh, it looks white with specks because I used the replace color option in Adobe Photoshop Elements 3 to change the dark yellow with white but I couldn't get all of those colors out of there so I just left it for now. I will fix it.

As promised here is the guide. It's also in the Downloads section.
Resistance is Futile
Why is it that some people just resist new technology but not all technology?
Chip had to go on 3 deliveries this morning for his job but before he left the house he needed me to "mapquest" the directions for him. I don't like Map Quest because a lot of times you type in the correct address and it tells you that there is no such address so you have to choose what they say is the address and sometimes it just isn't the right directions so you have to find your way while you are lost.
This morning in particular Map Quest was freezing my computer making it very difficult for me to even type the directions. He was in a hurry too so he kept saying that I had too much shit on my computer lol.
So he left and said he would call me for the directions, as if I'm On Star. So after he left I went to Google Maps and typed in the addresses to get the directions and it loaded lickety split. I was then able to print it out and call him up and tell him to come back for the printed directions.
I keep telling him, you need a GPS. His response is always that someone is going to steal it. Not true. When you get to work you can put it under the seat or take it in with you and when you get home you can bring it in the house. When he leaves the van sitting outside all night long with thousands upon thousands of dollars in merchandise he doesn't want to have to worry that seeing the GPS is going to make someone want to break in only to discover all the merchandise in the van. Well, bring it in with you or leave it sitting with all that merchandise in the back of the van lol.
Well he gets his check today, he normally gets paid every other Friday and tomorrow is Friday but he has the day off so he'll probably get his check today. So, I will try to talk him into buying a GPS.
I actually have a GPS for my laptop, it's the Microsoft Streets and Trips 2006 program that I bought in 2007 and it has a little GPS that plugs into the USB of your laptop but he can't use that for 2 reasons. 1 he won't be able to see it if it's on the passenger seat and 2 he won't be able to hear the voice prompts because the voice is so noisy. So, he really needs a dashboard mounted GPS that he can see up close. I'll work on him later, try to really sell it lol.
