Lost - the new season
So ABC tricked us with their “2 hour LOST event”… which is really only a 1 hour season premiere with a LOST recap episode…. Already off to a bad start. But, this season I am going to have a bit of faith. This season I am going to give it a bigger shot than last season…which I was very vocal about my hate. Here’s to hoping.
A little bit of knowledge is dangerous...
Over the last 24 hours I made an FTP alternative for our office here at Eyeboogie INC. I had to teach myself a bit of PHP, but it was a lot easier than I imagined. I like the fact that I made something functional and useful as opposed to something that is just neat looking. It’s actually going to save me a bit of time everyday (and hopefully others in the office as well…). It...

A really awesome article saving web app. This is what delicious (or whatever the hell its called) SHOULD be.
I can't stop making the hits...
ME: I got your whole pitch...
ME: "The taste of a donut in a small bite size cookie".
ME: FUCK!
ROBBY: I will definitely run it by them.
ME: They'd be huge.
ME: Call em Fillerz.
ME: They are filled with shit.
ME: Get it?
ME: Fillerz?
ME: Home run.
Me trying to pitch my friend Robby, who works at Kraft, on what I imagine would be the biggest thing since Crystal Pepsi.
Major Submarine Incidents since 2000
I like reading about submarine’s and naval fleets. I like learning about different ship classes and names and how long they take to build. Recently I came across this Wikipedia article about Major submarine incidents since 2000. An interesting read. The picture above is of the USS San Francisco (SSN-711) after it slammed into an undersea mountain at 35 knots. There is speculation that...

Rhino is in!
Rhino has created a tumblr blog…though apparently only as a feed of his Wordpress blog or whatever the hell he uses… Better than nothing I guess. Check it out here.
Our fastest spacecraft engine...
An engine powered by micro nuclear explosions would allow a spacecraft to travel to our next nearest star, Proxima Centauri within 44 years. Designed to be built in orbit after pre-constructed pieces are built on earth and shuttled to the International Space Station. Currently the nuclear engineering department at Pennsylvania State University has been developing the next generation of engine...

South Carolina primary
Obama’s candidacy is on the line today in the South Carolina primary. If he does well today he’s still in the race in a big way… but if not, it’s going to be hard to chase Hillary’s momentum. Here’s to hoping!

WAR!
This video was posted on the internet earlier today, simultaneously a message was promoted to DIGG’s front page promising an attack on scientology websites worldwide at 6pm EST. At the predetermined time, many of Scientology’s European websites were knocked offline by a DOS attack. It seems like trouble is a brewin’.
A good Wednesday
Renting “The Hunt for the Red October” on iTunes and drinking coffee. A good way to spend a Wednesday morning. Perhaps later some Wii while chili is cooked…
Skynet being built in Israel!!!
Apparently, the Israeli military hasn’t watched the Terminator films enough, as they are building a “robotic defense system that’s completely AI and human-independent”. My god. Read more.
Auto pay feature...
So I am a big hater of auto pay features… I am always reluctant to have a company automatically deduct money from my bank account for fear of them screwing something up… But today, I wish I had it. I forgot to renew andrewmuto.com
I literally started freaking out and hoped no one stole it from me.
But I just got it back. Everything on my site (and blog) should slowly be coming...
Cloverfield is a Masterpiece!
You have to go see this movie. Don’t think about the hype or the “secrets” that may or may not be in the film. Just go watch it. It is amazing. A “re-boot” of the entire monster movie genre… and perhaps one of the best 9/11 movies ever made. It allows you to look at the event of a citywide crisis in NY but stripped of patriotism and heroics, allowing you...

Customizing your iPhone bookmarks
The link below leads to an explanation of how to add customized iPhone icons. I use my server and upload custom creations, but as an example, click the link on the right of this article that says “Click to Bookmark this page on your iPhone”. It was created using the method below. Enjoy! http://allinthehead.com/retro/319/how-to-set-an-apple-touch-icon-for-any-site
Custom iPhone icons!
With the recent 1.1.3 software update, you can now save bookmarks on your homescreen with quick access like the apps that come with the phone. Well now, it turns out, you can customize the icon it provides for the bookmark. It’s super fun and addictive. Below are a few icons I just made. Later, I’ll post instructions on how to add these to your iPhone (or iPod Touch) home...

The new hotness...
I’ve been sick for a few days and my roommate turned me onto Advil Multi-Symptom Cold. Holy god does it work. It turns me from a shivering, dizzy headache mess into 100% in under 20 minutes. So powerful, you gotta ask the pharmacist behind the counter to give it to you. Gold.

Live Free or Die Hard
The latest installment in the Die Hard franchise is officially my first iTunes Movie Rental. It works great. Now I’m not sure about the Apple TV but at least on my computer, the rental is not a “stream” but an official download that I assume will dissappear after I’m done watching it. As for the quality, it’s fantastic. I mentioned Netflix’s Watch Now...
