So after the pound cake commercial’s Cam Newton has released a few more equally funny windows phone commercials.

Upcoming this week (from Cheesecake)
With a lot less time due to midterm week, I have no been able to post as regularly as I’d have liked.
That’ll change starting tomorrow, as I have quite a few things in store.
Expect an in-depth review of a video game that has been infuriating The Big Cheese and I as of late, a few Earworms, and a personal rant about high school.
Samurai Pizza Cats Fan Club Oath
The Pizza Cats are Samurai,
and I’d like to note:
their antics take your breath away
like furr balls in your throat
We kittens are a special breed
we never call retreat.
Whenever Big Cheese knocks us down
we land upon our feet.
So hail to thee, oh Pizza Cats.
Please ring your little bell.
Although you may be pen and ink
we know you’ll fight like…
Pizza Cats!
What is Samurai Pizza Cats you may ask, it was a 90’s cartoon from Japan that was show in the wee early hours of the AM during school days, so that no one would know it’s epic-ness. It was very funny, and witty, and well drawn as well. It is one of my favorite Anime’s out there, sadly it was short lived. Read more from it’s Wikipedia page . The oath above was recited right before the end credits. I should hunt down a dvd set for this, if it is available. Anyhow, i’ll just have to turn to the you tubes. Oh yeah, the end theme came up on my Zune, whilst I was doing random chores, hence why I thought i’d share this with you all.
Here’s the Intro. Listen to it carefully, the lyrics are funny.
and here’s the end theme with the oath.
Moore’s Law in Pictures
Saw this neat little article visualizing Moore’s Law.
What is Moore’s Law you may ask, well…..
Moore’s law is the observation that over the history of computing hardware, the number of transistors on integrated circuits doubles approximately every two years. The period often quoted as “18 months” is due to Intelexecutive David House, who predicted that period for a doubling in chip performance (being a combination of the effect of more transistors and their being faster).[1]

My PC build continues…
So I may have mentioned before, I just recently built a new PC. I went from an Intel Core2Quad Processor to a 3rd generation i5, and at the core, it’s plenty quick. I had to upgrade my motherboard for obvious reasons, and doubled up my RAM. (from 8 to 16GB, although, the guy at Microcenter gave me PC1333, I can live with it for now) For financial reasons, I held out on a new case, and video card. I think I have narrowed my case to either the Fractal Design Define R4, and the Antec P280.
Fractal Design Define R4
Both have very minimalistic design, and it’s more geared toward’s quietness. Tom’s Hardware recently had a quite case round up, and the Define came up on top. I just can’t forget Antec though, as I had an SX1030B in the past, and I absolutely loved it. I had to let it go since I received a Thermaltake Xaser III courtesy of Thermaltake. I looked at some of their (Thermaltake) offering’s and it was too loud in style.
Antec P280
In any ‘case’, I hope to pick up either one of the above listed cased on my short list, and then move on to picking out a video card.
My current case – Thermaltake Xaser III
My old favorite – Antec SX1030B

New rig -update-
Well, I finally sorted out my Windows 8 mess, and I am finally up and running, and slowly start re-installing programs and what not. That should take another week or so. So far, I am loving it. The system is nice and quick, and as we speak, I am downloading and installing Metro2033 from my Steam, as well as Star Wars: The Old Republic to see what this system can do. Sure it’s not exactly the latest games out there, but at least I’ll know what’s what, and see what I need to fix, tweak, or what not. I do know my current video card, an AMD Radeon HD 5xxxx series card (XFX ONE +Edition) is quite old. I still need to get a new case, and sort out my other HDD‘s. I most probably will get a 2 TB HDD for storage and programs.
As far as Windows 8 goes, it’s nice and shiny, and so far I like the new things they have added (Metro UI). I still need to dive deeper into it, and see what other goodies they have. I will keep you guys updated for sure.
And I do have some ideas to implement in terms of this site. This will be an exciting year for sure.
Update: Metro 2033 played pretty crappy, and it’s a clear indication I need a new video card. It was very choppy at best, not slide show bad, but unplayable bad. Company of Heroes played very well. SWTOR, well, I still can’t install it.
Happy New Year!
Hello everyone, hope everyone’s year is getting off to a good start. Apologies for the lack of posting, but I am currently in between desktop computers. I just currently retired my old and trusty core2quad powered set up due to random reboots, and well, problems that I just can’t be bothered with. It also gave me that nudge to finally upgrade my aging system, which I had been planning on for a while. In any case I am now rocking a 3rd gen Intel i5 quad core processor, 16GB of DDR3 RAM, and a 180 GB Intel SSD on an ASRock Motherboard running the Inel z77 chipset. I am still trying to install Windows 8, and it’s a bit more involved than how XP was. (at least the whole upgrade process)
Hopefully it will get sorted soon. I am also watching the Conan remake, it’s freakin’ bloody.
Blake Griffin Kia Optima Time Travel back to 1999 Commercial
Honestly one of the best commercials I’ve seen in a long long while. NBA All-star Blake Griffin has swag, and with his Clippers on a 17 game tear, I definitely needed to share this with you guys. His Clippers join elite company by being only the third team in NBA history to have a 16-0 month, the other two teams being the early 70s LA Lakers and the mid 90s San Antonio Spurs.
My Challenge.
As 2012 comes to a close, people are starting to bring out their inevitably never-to-be-achieved New Year’s Resolutions.
I decided, screw resolutions. I challenged a couple of my friends to a friendly competition.
We’d been discussing for a bit about working out at home, not having access to gym memberships.
The challenge given? Just improve your overall health. Eat right, work out, and be happy. Losing weight is the aim, getting and staying fit is the final hope.
What are your resolutions/challenges for the New Year? Let us know!
Extreme Couponing…..
So, this is the first time I am watching this show on TLC, and it’s pretty crazy. It’s pretty much a full time job.
I am thinking how hard it is to really get into it, like if I tried to do it for lets say a month.
Challenge Accepted?
I am not sure if I would ever want a stockpile though, but for what I pay for a random trip to the supermarket, they get like 3,287 items for like $6.00, it’s totally insane.
I don’t think I have the patience to do this though. They have lists, pre-calculations, and what ever else it is needed.
This is really insane. if anything else, it’s a good laugh to watch if you have nothing else better to do.
Update: The last segment they did, the stored actually owed the person some money…
I just wrote a blog
