Some Nerd News that might be of interest!!
Monkey Bites:
“A new shareware application called TubeSock lets you save YouTube videos to your iPod, PSP or iTunes library. The application, which is Mac-only, converts any YouTube video to the H.264 iPod format or the MP4 PSP format. Also, if you only have an audio iPod (like me) then you can save the just audio track as an MP3.”
Gentle Reader,
We find ourselves in a curious place; a confession with no charges. In this age of DNA testing, confessions no longer count. Just as well eh? This Karr freak would swing, and the real murdered would go free.
That said, I’ve always maintained that this was a suicide made to look like murder. Why? well:
1. They gave their daughter a man’s name.
2. They made her dress like a twenty something rodeo clown and then go out in public.
So this was Jon-Benet’s revenge as it were.
Ok ’nuff with the sick jokes.
“Now that Karr has been downgraded from “beauty pageant contestant killer” to “general interest crazy person with some kiddie porn“
…there is an obvious charge he could be held on:
Being a Harry Highpants in a public place
I mean GODDAMN look at them! This is supposed to be a torso shot, yet his pants have crept well into shot! Perhaps this is how he controls his urges? By getting his pants up so high it cuts off the circulation to his groin?
Either way, it’s worthy of a Go Fug Yourself expose…
i’m not sure what I make of this, and I’m pretty sure ol’ Saddam Hussein has no idea what to maake of it either:
South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone yesterday revealed Saddam is made to watch the movie “repeatedly” by the US Marines guarding him.
Mind. Boggle.

Miss Waysel wanted to show the other girls on night shift some bike pics (Coz She’s TUFF ENUFF!)
Here we go:
HER (actually MY) Cagiva Mito 125 SOLD!
A thoroughbred racing machine, the itty bitty 125 Two stroke could put a lot of other bikes to shame- and regularly did. It was Rachel’s first “gears and clutch” bike- and with a really twitchy engine and 7 gears, it was a tough learning curve. Looking at this photo, one thing is clear- it’s love!
My Triumph Speed Triple Still got!
I mean really folks- have you ever seen anything mechanical be this sexy? Really?! It’s 955cc’s of British perfection. It’s like Jordan with class, the Spice girls with talent, like… errr… Ok- this is the ONLY sexy thing to come out of the UK – ever.
In the pits @ Phillip Island
MY (actually this really is Rachel’s)BMW R1100GS- The Bavarian Tractor. Still got it!
What you see below is perhaps the greatest bike ever made. Ask any motocyclist you know and they’ll reluctantly agree. I mean what bike can go round corners like a sports bike, do 0-100 in 4 seconds, go round Oz, go 220 km/h fully loaded (on The unlimited speed highwaysof the NT!) go through mud, sand, water, snow and so on happily with 40 kilos of luggage and two people and only break down once with a minor issue? A BMW GS bike that’s fuggin what!!
DON’T PANIC!
Thomas ‘slapped’ with curfew :
“Federal police have issued accused terrorist Jack Thomas with a control order, putting him under curfew and forcing him to return to Melbourne.”
Phew! I saw the headline and thought “Great- Rachel’s finally got her court order approved…”
Guess not!
My olds dawg Jemma was a frisbee ace (and still is I imagine).
But this muttlee is in a class of his won:
YouTube – Frisbee Dog:
““
“Trainspotting” author says his wild days are over:
“Scottish author Irvine Welsh, best known for the gritty Edinburgh novel ‘Trainspotting,’ poses at the Algonquin Hotel in New York, August 14, 2006. Welsh’s latest book is another tale of vicious characters made worse by alcohol and drugs but the bad boy of Scottish literature says his own wild days are over.”
Say it ain’t so!!
For those of you who have not yet read “Trainspotting” (I’m looking at YOU Jake!) then fer chrissake ye needs ta gettit intaya!
It’s a tough read- at first- but by the end you should have a rich Scottish Brogue (you may need to read parts of it out loud for it to make sense) that will fool Mel Gibson.
Whatever that means…
I rather enjoy the RSS feed of Scott Adams (of Dilbert fame)blog.
I am nerdy. Very nerdy. Let’s geddoverit.
Anyhoo, I really enjoyed this post about steroids- especially this quote:
The Dilbert Blog: Steroid Commercial:
“How happy are the guys who sell illegal steroids? You can’t buy that kind of advertisement. And it sure makes it harder for the just-say-no people. “Kids, don’t do steroids. If you do, you might become the fastest man in the world and have so much poontang and money that…I forget my point.”"
On one of these bad boys:
Suzuki Australia Pty. Ltd.:
“The Boulevard M109R is the most powerful cruiser Suzuki has ever produced. The all-new liquid-cooled 1,783cc engine featuring four valves per cylinder and SDTV digital fuel injection gives you all the power you need, when you need it.This monster packs the largest engine pistons of any production car or bike on the planet. Each of the huge 112mm forged aluminium-alloy pistons use short skirts and cutaway sides to reduce friction and provide the rider with raw, unstoppable muscle.”
