Velform Sauna Belt!

This is one of the funnier infomercials I've seen recently.
www.saunabeltsystem.com

It's basically a belt you put on to sweat your fat away. The infomercial is so ridiculous that it has people doing flips and spinning torches in a hawaiian setting.

I decided to look for it on google and one of the first pages was

Pretty bad:
3/23/2006 - Lisa writes: Yes I bought it used it and its like everyone else said, but to top everyones story here, the belts wiring is faulty it burned my house down and everything I owned was lost in the fire! The belt was plugged into wall socket by my bed. My daughter was sleeping in the bed and while she was sleeping she may have accidently hit the knob and the belt was turned on. I smelled smoke went to check things out and found my bed with my daughter on it smoldering. The only thing left that I saw before my house went up in smoke was the cord burning into my mattress. I lost my house, all our belongings and one of my dogs and all my birds. Most definitly not a very happy person and the company should be held accountable for this.
This was kind of sad. But after reading it i thought it's kind of her fault for leaving it plugged in...

ATI ignoring Linux and BEARS?!

I've recently decided to change the look for Linux. Mainly the login screen and the boot screens. After doing research (google) I managed to find a pretty nice site for this.
http://art.gnome.org/

Lots of people out there seem to like BlackBox, probably because it loads in a second, and it's pretty easy to use...for experienced users. I just might switch over to it. Plus it has some pretty nice themes.

I'm beginning to feel that ATI will continue to let me down. They should release good drivers that can actually do 3D in Linux. It seems like they just don't like Linux at all, or don't believe that it's a big enough market to look at yet. Until they address this issue, they will fall way behind NVidia in Linux territory....something that is incredibly dumb seeing that Linux is continuing to grow. For example, China is adopting Linux as it's official government OS, and there are lots of gamers in China. Oh guess what video card they will buy? NVidia simply because it can work. To all of you who work at ATI tell them that they should do something about this.

Odd dream I had recently. It involved me getting on a bus and seeing that bears were taking over the streets. I really forget what was going on, but for some reason I felt sorry for the bears.

Elisha is so nice. Used to watch PMK until she left it, and if she was still on 24 then I would consider watching it.

It's story time


Hmmmmmmm I haven't updated this site in a while, so why not start by making a story?

Lets see......background of the story

Modern Day 20xx:
Series of natural disasters are occuring globally and their frequencies are getting oddly closer and closer, a university student believes that he has been able to calculate when and where the next disasters will take place and they lead to a final disaster; the last disaster. Nobody takes him seriously as he believes that this will take place in the strangest place...in the coffee shop of a small town in the middle of nowhere. Dispite criticism he goes and finds something that would change history forever...
