New Post Soon

I know I’ve been slacking with posting lately; in my defense, I’ve been busy. I promise a new post is coming this week that will sum up my summer. Its been a summer for business and while I didn’t define it this way on the outset, the goal turned into increasing my revenue streams. But more to come with that later this week.

For the time being, you can read super awesome, and new, blog Of Folly and Of Vice. Also, here is my Manga Avatar. Apparently they are all the rage:

Ace It Gum

Ace It Gum

This “test performance gum” really didn’t do anything for me besides make me want to vomit.

After viewing this YouTube video on how to make your own Silly Putty, my friends and I could resist. We went out and got the ingredients and went to town. You can see the pictures below, but the final product (mine anyway) was pretty good. It’s a little stronger than regular silly putty, but it passes my three tests: the newspaper copy, bounciness and that cool pop sound silly putty makes. An added bonus is the outside of it is not a prone to picking up any particle that happens to touch it. It did harden a little over night when I left it out, but that was nothing working with it couldn’t fix. It’s a fun (kind of messy!) project if you are looking for something to do.

Announcements

Just a few general things:

  • My brother is selling his guitar. If you are interested, drop me a line!
  • It’s that time of the year: The Weblog Awards. Last year I found some pretty awesome ones and I hope this year I will too. (Also, getting nominated for best-kept secret would be cool too- polls close tomorrow at 10pm eastern time).
  • While I will not contribute to the hype that is the iPhone, I will say, it looks totally awesome.

That’s about it!

Page Nav

Just a bit of site news: I finally added buttons at the bottom of the main page to navigate through older pages. Click Previous to see older pages and Next to see newer pages. Later!

UPDATE: My friend Dan (of What’s on my Bookshelf fame) was so gracious as to redesign the side bar and page navigation buttons to make them look a little (ok, a lot) nicer. This of-course has sparked something in me to go around the site updating somethings to make it look and feel a little more “Web 2.0.” So look out in the next few weeks for some changes! around these parts!
