Dubai Waterfront Video

Filed under: General — kf6hqc @ 6:26 am

a most surreal quicktime in urban planning

An incredible quicktime of a master planned
set of cities in the middle east. It actually looks
awsome and a very desireable place to live. The
catch for me is the fact that it is in the freakin’
middle east!

Personally, I like my head where it’s at.

tall or not

Filed under: Web sites — kf6hqc @ 6:10 pm

how tall are compared to others?

Tall or not takes your height and then
compares your height to a lot of other
famous people. Kinda fun to do.

Tonight is the 77th annual presentation of the
Academy Awards. Those golden Oscars, given
to the best of the best for 2004. While the winners
walk away with the Oscar, those unpaid presenters
and host do get a little something for their efforts.
Enter the Oscar Goodie Bag. Stuffed full of neat-o
things that when added up, total over $100,000.00.
Not bad for a night of shoving your nose into your
fellow actor and Actresses and directors rear ends.
Here is a partial list of the brown nose bag contents…

• A Krups kitchen set. Not just a coffeemaker, either.
This year’s gift includes a toaster, an electric kettle
and a year’s supply of coffee and tea ($700)

• A two-night stay at The Carlyle hotel in New York ($2,300)

• A red leather case filled with Shu Uemura cosmetics,
including mink eyelashes ($600)

• A two-night stay for two at Bernardus Lodge in Carmel Valley (Calif.)
wine country ($2,500)

• A three-night stay for two (plus a “personal surf-butler”) at St. Regis
Monarch Beach Resort & Spa in Dana Point, Calif. ($5,900)

• A dinner party at any Morton’s, The Steakhouse ($1,500)

• Kay Unger cashmere pajama bottoms ($500)
(great marketing ploy to get you to buy the top!)

• An assortment of Manni Oils’ extra virgin olive oil ($540)

• An unlimited day of services at Cornelia Day Resort, which

just opened this month on Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue ($3,500)

• A three-night stay at San Ysidro Ranch, a popular celebrity

It has been said that cribbage is the best two handed card
game in the world. We here at admit-one tend to agree….

What is Marbling?

Filed under: General,Images — kf6hqc @ 9:52 am

wow, it looks like cut/polished rock!

Ever heard of marbling? We here at admit-one haven’t.
These patterns are wonderful. I wouldn’t mind trying
this sometime and framing it. Marbling is the art of
printing multi-colored swirled or stone-like patterns on
paper or fabric. Take a look.

Exhaust Flame Thrower – Single and Dual kits

Filed under: General — kf6hqc @ 6:12 pm

fire in the hole

Exhaust flame thrower kits are available for your car. I had no
idea. I guess they use a sparkplug to ignite the gas in your
tailpipe or something like that. Something tells me that these
things have to be illegal. They look like fun!

SolarMission Technologies :: The Project

Filed under: Technology — kf6hqc @ 6:31 am

rise air, rise

“It may sound like science fiction, but this
project is on track to get approval by the
Australian government. If completed, the
$800 million solar tower will be the tallest
man-made structure in the world.”
-TIME Magazine

At 3000 feet high the tower and facility will
be capable of making around 200MW of power
or enough energy for roughly 200,000 households.
Cool!

Amazing footage of a student cutting class
right under the nose of the teacher. What a
brilliant boy.

Cereality

Filed under: Food — kf6hqc @ 6:30 am

name your cereal, they have it!

Ever hear of a cereal bar? Well, it seems to be the next hot ticket
in the food store business. If you like to eat cereal, they have
what you want with over 30 brands and a variety of milk to go
with it. I actually like the idea of a cereal bar and cafe, as whacky
as it sounds. Look for one to show up near your town soon. I
can’t wait for one to pop up near where I live. I wonder if they will
also provide a “hot spot” wireless internet connection for it’s patrons.

Zombie Infection Simulation

Filed under: Web sites,Weird — kf6hqc @ 10:20 pm

infection simulation.

Watch how fast the green infected zombies
infect the entire city. The sim starts with one
zombie and in no time at all he will infect the
entire population. An interesting little
diversion to exercise your brain.

fish in a purse

Filed under: General — kf6hqc @ 6:35 am

fucking stupid

Remember recently, I spoke of nailing two things together
that have never been nailed together before? Well, here is
another one just to prove my point. Where do these people
come up with this shit? And believe me, I’m sure that these
things are selling like it’s nobodies business. With the
exception of the occasional homo, flocks of women will
gladly hand over $100.00 for one of these special fishbags.
How many Betas will die simply to make a fashion
statement? PETA, where are you?

The ridiculous Bubble Gear Fishbags.
