Get Organized

Here's a great personal organizer called Virtuoso Organizer. It has an address book where you can e-mail your contacts from. There's also a calendar where you can set up alarms. I love how you can customize everything! There's a section for a personal diary. Also, you can keep a record of passwords, notes, ideas and recipes. It's so simple to use. Check it out!

I didn't know how beautiful jellyfish look until I saw some pictures over at Flickr. It seems like they're floating in the water. The can be so many different colors. Jellyfish make me of think of Spongebob Squarepants and it makes me giggle like a little girl.

Hobbits Found

Scientists in Australia found hobbit-sized remains on the island Flores. The bones seem to be about 18,000 years old. The skeleton of a female would have been about 3 feet with a smaller sized brain compared to modern humans. Source: Yahoo News!

Paradise

I saw on AnimeNation News that Viz will be releasing Wolf's Rain manga volume 1 in November. They're also going to have an exclusive set at Borders and Waldenbooks with the first volume , a collectible card and a nice box set that will hold the first two volumes. I'm glad that a great new series will be out soon!

Power me up!

I discovered the game Magic Ball through my buddy Brandon. It's a kewl 3D Arkanoid-type game. Some of the layouts include bricks of buildings or an island floating in the ocean. Of course, the game has the typical features of power-ups, such as missiles, magnets and the fire ball. It reminded me of the classic game DX-Ball. Although, it's not 3D, it's still fun and has similiar power-ups and music. There's also a DX-Ball 2, but I prefer version 1.09.

Extreme Measures

A woman living in Sydney posted this billboard looking for a husband. She's tried everything else.. it seems nobody wants a commitment. Typical men! Poor lady spent $5000 and has received few replies. As viewed on: Yahoo! News

The Games We Play

Here's some addicting games to enjoy! Snood - this game is a twist of the bubble game.. You have to match 3 and they will pop. There's another flash variation called Bubble Trouble, but you can only use your keyboard. I just found the game Word Spy - find as many words as you can in 3 minutes. It's good fun!

Cartoons Galore

Oh, there are lots of cartoon dvds coming out. Currently, you can get the first and second season of Ren & Stimpy in one set. I'm so excited that the Home Movies first season is coming out on November 16th!! I'm still bummed that Cartoon Network cancelled the program. Also, Aqua Teen Hunger Force Volume 3 will be out on the same day.

Quick Pick Me Up!

I saw this over at GadgetMadness. It's Chocolate Energy Chews and FOOSH Energy Mints... both candies contain the same caffeine as 1 cup of coffee or 3 cans of coke. These are made by Vroom Foods. Online you can buy it here. I definately want to try them. I'm not much of a coffee drinker (only cappuccino when I really need it!).. so this would be a dream! It's convenient and cool. I hope they taste good. If only they sold it in stores!! Hopefully, we'll see it soon!

I found this pic over at Flickr. This is a special species of domestic cat in Japan. I can't believe how skinny this cat is. It looks like the cat wants to eat you for dinner!

Halloween is coming up.. some costume ideas: Gandalf the Grey, an anime character or even a Whoopie Cushion! Dress your dog up like a creature from Aliens.

October is the month for scary movies. I'm looking forward to The Grudge and Saw.

Gmail Programs

Check out these sites for Gmail apps & extensions. Here's another great page with Gmail tools. My favorites are... Gmail Drive, which allows you to have a virtual drive with your Gmail account... and Gmail Notifier for Firefox. It lets you know if you have any e-mail waiting without logging on.

Gmail Drive was seen on Kevin Rose's blog.

Enjoy!!

Shoot 'em up!

Cutie Pie

Cutie,
originally uploaded by Stimpdawg.

This is my niece Anissa.. she's the cutest thing.. she'll do something bad and then she gives you this big smile. You can't stay mad for long!

Persistance really DOES pay off!

Finally, I figured out this Blogger thing... it kept messing up with the entry layout.
I tried numerous times.. hurray, it works now! I'm still fixing everything, so I don't have many of the pages up yet. In the near future, Love Quotes and the Photos page will be up.

Crazy Cats

This has gotta be the funniest thing I've seen in awhile.. check it out at Greenhead Watercooler News.. funny cat video and pics! It's so funny how cats act.. it made me laugh so hard it hurt!
