ok i couldn't not share this one. if you know me you prolly know how much i like hacked xbox’s well the Xbox2(360) is coming out soon and i just found this commercial for the next madden. Even if you dont play video games. go watch this. and remember its a computer game. all computers. makes me wonder what in the world madden 2010 is gonna be.

other xbox360 news if you didn't know, it will be backward compatible for “top selling games” what ever that means. Here is a cool video about the making of it. and the press release

who will offer the $100,000 challenge to hack the xbox 360 like they did xbox? depending on the price for the unit (350est) i might buy one when the full spec is released if the tivo ability is there. and the backwards game actually work for games i own. if they are hackable and i can play mario duck hunt from my xbox 360 oh yea!

EDIT 5/18/2005

jsut in from a major chip maker:

 We are also heaving into Xbox 360 background development. We pretty much understand all the software side of things now - all we need now is the hardware - which will be sooner than it hits the shelves we assure you Wink

I must comment on what i think is the best show ever to be on TV i just got Scrubs Season one on DVD today (always buy form buy.com and you get it a day early. they are awesome amazon sucks) anyway i want to comment on how one TV show not only is funny but has some of the best social commentary that i have ever seen. just watching the pilot and i laughed as much as i do on a season 4 show. gotta love a show that can keep it gold from day one. i did think that the pilot was the the best i have ever seen not only keeping 100% true to the whole series but outlining what they have done all along. if you haven't ever watched the show catch it next season they seem to be wrapping it up i can see the plot line go to a end. I just hope if they end this story they start a new one with the same cast seriously people, if my life were a tv show i would let it be this one.

not to mention zach braff the only (guy) actor i would like to actually meet in real life, your asking which girl actor i am gonna pull a crazy ass one out of the hat and say Larisa Oleynik no offence to paris hilton she did get us to NY for free. She was my crush back in the day of good nickelodeon when it actually owned every channel in the world, you want to debate that? come on Pete and Pete, rin and stimpy, double dare, that agro crag, dude if i could bring back one thing from the 80’s and early 90’s it would be nickelodeon at its prime. in this post i have summed up the only things i actually loved in television history and present day. oh yea and loony toons, pee-wee, and A-Team and Knight rider, felix the cat –  just to name a few more. man i miss the days before reality TV and “desperate housewives” …sigh

 

Friday: went to Redmond ran into mikes sister and harassed her then watched life aquatic went to beths at 4am.

Saturday: woke up at 9am did stuff. got the crew and went to sushi then walked around bellevue hung out at 7–11 and watched some kids try and buy some smokes. then saw a prom doofus and his girl she was drinking wine out of the bottle in the car they were all like 15–18 it was weird. then went to horias to watch SNL i slept thru the whole thing

noticed the google ads are now popping up stuff for fishing after the movie review. things like “spear fishing gear” thats cool i clicked the link it wasn't cool. but at least the word spearfish is coming up. on a side note i think google ads might be crashing the site a lot. also i had to fill out w2 information with google. and after 167 something looks or clicks from last Thursday when i installed it. i have made .27 cents to date. at this rate it will be over a year to get 100$ then they tax that so my advice for this service on my page. i think it might be pulled, but i will give it a month, keep clicking and making me cents.

finally getting around to catching up on netflix. $imdb(The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou) wanted to get to the theater to see this one but didnt. here i am today with the dvd. first off is the 2+ hours worth it you ask? if you didnt like $imdb(The Royal Tenenbaums) then my review is you wont like this dont even bother. If you like RT then you will enjoy this movie. dont know how else to review this one. It looks wonderful, the sets and the color on the screen is marvelous. The plot line …if there is one is sort of fun and different since its just some people a simi story and such weird events and strings of story that they end up with some cool and fun looking scenes to shoot. i liked it but it was long.

Thats what you will read on all the BitTorrent Sites. Thanks to the MPAA they decided to kick some ass on the remaining sites claiming illegal download TV shows. Uhg if its not one thing is another. I checked and 99% of the sites are dead. The one that isnt “PirateBay” well they are getting dDoS by either use of hackers with only one site left to use or the MPAA. someone invent something new. Seriously i dont watch tv for commercials i watch it for the shows. What this means for you? well movies,programs and Tvshows have no good source but IRC now. and we all know how nice IRC rooms are.

in other news via /. a ipod explodes this was a good read with quotes like “unclear what the teenager had ingested” “scooted out and helped save the rest of Melbourne” other audio related a laser-record player man if i had 20 grand i would buy this… not kidding.

i was able to purchase the stereo for my car today the Pioneer AVH-P7600DVD its not even on the Pioneer.com site but i have it by Thursday next week, after that the car is done. Now what will i work on?

after some work on MattMcGs parents house DSL – i installed the current westell modem  man i wish i was still with verizon that modem had every feature that you can imagine in a wireless dsl router. its actually amazing it comes with a stats program and everything built in, if your with verizon and dont have something cool call and ask for a upgrade because yore speed is not great and your neighbour just got the new modem and it helped them. then i got a chance to stop and say hi to conor who dont see much even though he is back in the 425. He just got a new job and a new car it smells like coconuts. he comments a lot on the site.

on the way home from work today a rock pelted my car windshield and now i need a new windshield. the first thing that went in my head was …at least it didn't hit the paint.

 

So I have been thinking about hooking up some sort of Advertisment system for a while now. Didnt want banners because i hate them and didnt want anything obtrusive to the page. Whats the answer. AdSence Its text ads by google. yes google rules all. I will report later how i think its going. for now. the Photos and blog will have a nice little un obtrusive little block of text @ very bottom of the pages.

let me know what you think of this if you find it hurts loading time etc

ps if you have dasblog never post java code in the post it will crash everything

so today i went to go get some gas in Seattle. some dude walks up to me (like every time you stand out side in south Seattle) and i am like no cash man. he then explains this lame ass story about cars and toe trucks and what not. eventually asking for a ride to rainier valley. he was smaller then me and had more diamonds on his neck up then i will own in my life and he didn't stink of beer. so i figure sure i need something new to blog about (kidding).

home boy hops in the car and starts to again explain this long story about cars and AAA and wrecks and the new lexis and other things like that. whole time i am thinking wonder if i am gonna have a extra hole in my skin by the time this is over.

he didnt have a seat belt on and i was zoomin thru south Seattle like mad i mean i was bustin around the streets like crazy dude got scared and put on his seat belt it was great. then we got stuck in construction and sitting there as he had now gotten tired of talking about his lexis. cd changed. Ice cube comes on. well if you know the lyrics to ice cube you might imagine its not the music that white people but out in south seattle with. i was like OHHHH i hope this Playa likes ice cube. i didn't want to change it making it obvious that i was like uh-oh. no issue but still akword moment.

so then he is like there there. i put into a Exxon he says please wait here. at this point i was thinking no no no time for me to run. he is calling his hommie to strip my car of its new clear coat. so i pull around to make sure he isn't using a phone or something. no he bought some beer. what ever. he then tells me that he wanted to give a beer to me and the guy that was holding the lexis for him. since i am not a Colt45 drinker i passed. it did come with brown bag however

so more driving around bumpy ass roads and scaring dude with some sweet cornering. then we come to this nasty hood. i mean no windows on most buildings. we pull up to some nasty looking car-repair shop. he asks if i can pull around back to drop him off. Two things i thought about – one Compton two a guy with a gun asking to have my keys. so i dumped him out on the street and told him to have a nice day.

he offered to pay me he had a wad of 20’s but i didn't want the drug dogs hunting me down or with other recent family matters involving fake money i didn't want this to be a conspiracy of family fake money.

who says life isn't interesting?

uh oh Real-ID Passes U.S. Senate 100-0

anyone else have this long agreement for hotmail today? looks like new pasport services. make sure when you log into hotmail you go to the “security settings” then look for Marketing preferences and opt out of all the advertisment

fun of the day – hack your honda/acura Nav.

so after my last post i wanted to read the Snicket books. went snooping around and found no downloadable copy. rats. but i found a cool page called Audible its basically a online audio bookstore, i chose to actually buy this because they offer a 14.99 a month subscription that comes with a mp3 player now i didnt need the mp3 player but oh well. however it was 12$ for shipping so that in hindsight would have been better spent elsewhere. you get one book and some daily news and magazines and such with that subscription. they have a nice looking selection and the new harrypotter book due out soon just as easy to get it for 14bucks as steal it. so…

now for the bad. if i didnt want to actually listen to this book i would unsuscribe right now and can this dumb web site. let me see what do i hate about them. is it the proprietary DRM software that not only takes up 100% cpu load most of the time? how about that when its full screen and doing some DRM crap that you CAN NOT minimize it. what about its horrible user interface. is that what i hate. yes but not the clincher. they are DRM meaning that they try and force you to only use the media the way they want. no mp3 no copy here and there. its just like itunes. well they can shove it. after i get the books i want i will cancel because i hate this. seriously its the most horrible product package i have ever dealt with. if i pay 14 a month just to be forced to use a special mp3 player then screw them. i cant express my hate towards the RIAA and DRM. oh yea i can. they suck and so is the Audible software and the HORRIBLE roxio cd burner plugin never use it. crashed my computer 3 times before i un installed it and went to cracking the audio encryption.

ok so what will any good hacker do about this mess, that i paid for? use google. i’m not alone in the DRM hatin’ world. thanks to dbpoweramp i am able to convert my media back into trusty mp3 that i can play on everything. if your playing along at home you want to search for a “direct show decoder” for dbpoweramp – that little free(12$) mp3 player i also got from them might also be hackable thus allowing me to get the mp3 with out the dbpoweramp thus faster DRM-D-Struction

if you happen to work for audible learn something from this post. if i couldn't hack your format then i would cancel your product. i have no intentions of sharing it on P2P and i have no intentions of having you limit my use to a audio file i download. have a nice day.

is this a legit complaint or am i just getting angry by the exponential?

ok so at first preview i thought this movie would be good. and it didnt let down $imdb(Lemony Snickets A Series of Unfortunate Events) was all that i hoped it would be. riveling if not kicking the pants of any old Tim Burton Film you have who else but Jim Carrey as the bad guy. I give this thumbs up all around i was glued to the screen watching it. This gets added to the collection for sure.

I was wondering how well it did since i didnt hear much about it in the theater, not sure why most people relate this movie to harry potter rip off. well since HP was published in 1998 and LS in 1999 its a long shot that anyone riped off anyone.

but that potter lady is no where as cool as Snickets seriously go check out his home page. this movie will get me to find the books on tape and download them and listen… sorry snickets i will buy your movie but not the books… alas what is the world coming to?

best movie i seen since big fish.
