Yeah, like I need any more books to read.  But, with buy one get one 50% off at Borders (Borders card required, but it’s free, so what do you have to lose?), you really can’t pass that up.  :)

Here’s the latest two books I got;

Monster by A. Lee Martinez

Meet Monster. Meet Judy. Two humans who don’t like each other much, but together must fight dragons, fire-breathing felines, trolls, Inuit walrus dogs, and a crazy cat lady – for the future of the universe.

Monster runs a pest control agency. He’s overworked and has domestic troubles – like having the girlfriend from hell.

Judy works the night shift at the local Food Plus Mart. Not the most glamorous life, but Judy is happy. No one bothers her and if she has to spell things out for the night-manager every now and again, so be it.

But when Judy finds a Yeti in the freezer aisle eating all the Rocky Road, her life collides with Monster’s in a rather alarming fashion. Because Monster doesn’t catch raccoons; he catches the things that go bump in the night. Things like ogres, trolls, and dragons.

Oh, and his girlfriend from Hell? She actually is from Hell.

Physics of The Impossible by Michio Kaku

In this latest effort to popularize the sciences, City University of New York professor and media star Kaku (Hyperspace) ponders topics that many people regard as impossible, ranging from psychokinesis and telepathy to time travel and teleportation.

Now, Michio Kaku also has several other books, web sites and tv programs to consider.  I like his work, I like him as a physicist and scientist.  He seems like he’s easy to get along with and a pretty decent guy.  I could be totally wrong of course, he could be a real jerk.  But I’m going to leave the final decision until I meet him (if I ever do).  But he can’t be all that bad, he’s a sci-fi geek.  :)  And you know, I think if Einstein were still around, he and Michio would be drinking buddies.  :)

WOW is all I can say to this mega snack edition of the Super Bowl…

Seen over at WIRED for the full story including video…

Yeah, I know it’s short notice, but…

Cabela’s is offering discounts, Add-A-Buck program matching, Co-Branded gift cards and more.

BUT, there’s a catch.  In order to get the discounts, etc, you’ll need to bring in the coupon you received in your February issue of “American Hunter”, ”American Rifleman” or “America’s 1st Freedom” magazines.

If you’re an NRA member, you’ll have the magazine, so, you’ll have the coupon.

Maybe I’ll see you there.

How bout hookin us up?

C’mon, we give y’all 99 percent approval every quarter.  :)

Yes, I know that it’s not what Craigslist looks like, but I use Google Reader to get a group of things all at once, instead of going to multiple sites.  Anywho, I thought this was a bit funny.  Craigslist took it down not to long after they posted it so…

As we all know, Apple released OS 3.1.2.  What some of you may not know is that they’ve stopped signing their os’s previous.  What exactly does that mean?  Well, it took me a second or two, but I realized that if they’re not signed, you’re not going to be able to use them, unless you’ve got a hacked version.  So, if you need to restore, you’ve got to restore to OS 3.1.3.

See the whole story over at iClarified.

Apple has stopped signing iPhone OS 3.1.2. This means that those with an iPhone 3GS or iPod touch 3 who did not use Cydia to store their TSS cannot restore to anything but OS 3.1.3.

Ok, it’s dark out, you’re camping in the woods, it’s cold, a little rainy, full moon and really spooky.

All of a sudden, you hear a chainsaw start up.

Out of no where, you see this huge guy in a mask and jumpsuit coming at you with this…

Here’s the question…

I’d love to send a TON of these to my dentist…
