Holy shit! Someone else rates music in iTunes (www.angrymetalguy.com)! And I remember loving this album back in college!
How did I NOT know that they starting phasing out the Supersize menu at MACKDOH in 2004??? 10 years ago? WHY NEW YEARS FEEL OLD LISTY TIME

I've never found this before, but this is hilarious. One of my favorite bits is down in the FAQ's:
"Q: "This thing is broken. I can't see anything!"
A: Internet Explorer is the worst web browser ever created. Use Firefox (www.getfirefox.com) or Chrome (google.com)."
Finally, someone understands, and threw IE under the bus.
So I'll be in Anchorage from the 21st to Jan 4th. I think this year my visiting family schedule will be a lot less hectic which may actually leave me with some free time. So I propose an outdoor adventure.
So those of you who remember the bitter cold of our last outing and the technical mistakes that made it pretty difficult to eat, have fun, want to continue living, or like me end up with giant ass blisters on my heels because I wore shitty boots. Not sure if this year will be more friendly to our cause, but I'd be interested in giving it a try.
Also I have to say I've never even heard of this but it sounds hella amazing and I'd love to try it some day. The Eklutna traverse (chugachpeaks.com) is like a way more badass crow creek pass trip. And for the most part there's cabins all along route which are really neat looking, but it does mean a lot of glacier travel.
Can anyone explain the ASMR to me? Or whether it's a thing?
As with a lot of weird shit, I stumbled upon reference to it on Reddit (www.reddit.com), which seems to have a collection of videos of people staring too closely into the camera, talk-whispering into binaural mics, and turning the audio balance such that you can clearly hear their horrible, moist mouth noises as they talk about nothing. It's everything I tend to find trying about human interaction.
Honestly, at first, I thought I'd found yet another weird fetish. Then, of course, I found the actual, not-safe-for-work-fetish section, linked from the normal page.
Thanks, 2013 Edition

This (getdrunknotfat.com)is a thing.
I suppose this is what I get for trying to figure out if my claim about Corona Light was true (it is not... Beck's Light!). Also, here's to the end of our 20s! Except for some of you, Josh. And also a fuck you to some of you, Josh ;)
Man, these are the strongest G&Ts I've ever had. Oh, Roi. Or should I say: Booze Isle! In Marshallese, perhaps Buzebuz (this joke only make sense as a riff on the pronunciation of Gugegwe).
...did I mention these are straight gin? ;)
Elizabeth and I changed our most-used lights from incandescent bulbs to LED bulbs about a year ago.
We were averaging a bill of about $90, and a usage of about 470 kWh per month.
Since the switch, we've been averaging a bill of about $60, and a usage of about 380 kWh per month.
That's a total savings, since the switch, of about $360. The LED bulbs cost $260 when I bought them.
Over the summer I added gaskets to all of our outlets and light switches throughout the house. I also improved the garage door weather seal. Both of these measures cost a combined total of $50. We have the Nest downstairs, and the NetAtmo upstairs.
Even in this cold snap over the last few days, the temperature difference between upstairs and downstairs has stayed around 5 or 6 degrees. Last winter, and even over the summer, this temperature difference was usually 9 to 11 degrees.
