steam’s corner: LAVC vapemeet

Filed under: Life Style,Vape,pretty cool — kf6hqc @ 4:58 pm

LA Vapers Club Vapemeet, Clubhouse 66 – Glendora, CA 10-8-11

I just wanted to say thank you to Darrin of the LA Vapers Club for
doing another stellar job of hosting yet another Vapemeet for all the
Southern California vapers out here. I have attended 3 meets now
and have had a total blast each time so again, thanks Darrin, your
efforts are greatly appreciated by me and all of us, I’m sure.

Now vapemeets are a lot of fun but it’s our local vendors that
really make the meet-ups pop! So a huge thank you to all of our
vendors who bring merchandise for sale and provide samples and
give aways for our raffle. Your generosity is matched only by
your great friendship. We really appreciate you being here.

And lastly, there are a few vendors that I’d like to thank personally
because they have always been there to help me and provide me
with the best vaping experience I can have.

bombayvaping.com is an awesome site and two of the coolest people
I know, Sayer and Ayse. All us vapers could get along just fine with
Bombay alone!
liberty-flights.com is the first Internet store I bought vaping
accessories from. The team at Liberty Flights is top notch and
they take Pay Pal. Not many vape vendors do, thanks to Pay Pal’s
retarded no tobacco policy.
want2vape.com is a company I wanted to give a shout out to also
because they provided me with a sample of a new product that
seems to work well and I’ll be buying more. What is it? It’s called
Atty refresher and I’m impressed. And last on this short list is,
elixirliquid.com. Elixir is a phenomenal vape site providing more than
just great e-liquid. Elixir provides an awesome internet video forum/
support group for anyone that cares to join in. I have met over
100 new friends in the last ten months because of Elixir and for
that I am grateful so thank you Elixir.

Have some fun talking to a real AI (artificial intelligence). Be careful,
it may ask you to marry it.

The Turing tests claim that it’s 59% human now but I have my doubts.

Tape Generations from johan rijpma on Vimeo.

Relax and unwind with this short film that’s sure to stick in your mind
for a little while anyway. A Dutch artist by the name of Johan Rijpma
created this short film over a six month period of time which includes
some marvelous attention to detail and an interesting soundtrack to
boot. Enjoy.

faster customer service

Filed under: Technology,pretty cool — kf6hqc @ 7:35 am

Ok, have you ever called a company and been put through the menu
maze? You know the drill, press 1 for billing, press two for a customer
service representitave, bla, bla, bla… What a pain. Well guess what?
There’s an app for that now! FastCustomer will call YOU back when
it reaches your company’s customer service rep. How nice!

Seriously! Now all you have to do is find your company on the ever
expanding list, hit the button, and FastCustomer will call you back
when a real human picks up the phone. Now you can reclaim those
countless minutes spent flattening your ear with the phone while
waiting for your call to be taken in the order it was recieved!

One of the best features of this app is that it’s FREEEEE, (Eat that
Larry). One thing to note is that there is just a handful of companies
that have actually blocked this service and Comcast is one of them
so, if you are a Comcast subscriber, sorry, you’re just going to have
to suffer. Chalk another one up to Comcast’s superior customer
appreciation policy.

Check it out for Android and iPhone, so far.

the commodore 64 raised to the 19th power

Filed under: Technology,pretty cool — kf6hqc @ 9:16 pm

I am beside myself. I was a Commodore C64 nut back in the late 80’s
early 90’s. I had a VIC20 and later on several C64’s. Those machines
were the best in the day. I still have them in the garage along with
all the software on 5 1/4” floppies!

Well it appears as if the C64 is back with a vengence! A mutated
monster of it’s former self. The C64 Extreme has a DVD R/W, BlueRay
and 3 terrabytes of hard drive storage running an i7 processor! Don’t
believe me? Take a look.

It will emulate the C64 of course but it will run ubuntu and Windows
if you want. Holy Shit.

I want one, and you know what that means….

internet radio

Filed under: Music,pretty cool — kf6hqc @ 4:31 pm

I am sure many of you have heard of internet radio and there are a
lot of different providers of just that available. I have looked at a
bunch of them and I think SOMA FM is the best IMHO. It is totally
free but I feel it is beyond a doubt worth supporting with a donation.
In fact I have done just that. The music quality it top notch, there
are no commercials and of all the different stations available on
SOMA FM, one is just my cup of tea. Underground 80’s just plays
song after song that I know and remember from the good ol’ days of
91X and KROQ and sometimes on KSPC, a little local terrestrial FM
radio station at one of our local colleges here in Southern California.

Give em a click and see if they don’t have something for you.

famous objects from classic movies

Filed under: Images,Web games,pretty cool — kf6hqc @ 5:33 pm

If you know what movie this object belongs to, you will probably do
alright in this game. Game play is a lot like hangman but in this game
it’s three strikes and you lose this round. I’d bet this would be a great
game for the family or friends to play or at a party. Give it a try. It is
quite addictive.

By the way, the feather above is not from Forrest Gump.

steam’s corner – i’m done with cigarettes

Filed under: Technology,Vape,pretty cool — kf6hqc @ 4:48 pm

The eGo and the 510

I have been a smoker for a long time. Cigarettes have definetly taken
a toll on my health and my wallet. Recently, the price of a pack of
cigarettes went up again and I just said, that’s it. I refuse to keep
spending $4.50 a day on this and sometimes more. I know, I know,
New Yorkers would love to pay $4.50 again for a pack of smokes and
some other state and city dwellers would too. The simple fact of the
matter is that tobacco taxes are going up and I doubt they will ever
go back down again.

Honestly, at this point I really don’t care because I have recently,
finally decided to try out the “e-cigarette”. You know what? The day
I bought my e-cig was the day I quit smoking tobacco. That was
almost a month ago and I haven’t looked back since. I still had a
half pack of cigarettes the day I bought the e-cig and a week later,
I still had my half pack of smokes sitting there. I actually crushed the
pack and tossed it in the trash can. Something I thought I’d never
do.

My e-cig or what is also known as a personal vaporizer does exactly
what my cigarettes used to do for a fraction of the cost and without
the tar and carcinogens. No more burnt holes in my clothes or carpet
in the truck, no more smelly clothing, no more ashtrays or ashes. No
more anything that cigarettes have to offer except the nicotine.

Do yourself a favor if you smoke cigarettes. Save up the meager
$50-60 bucks and go to your local smoke shop and buy an e-cig kit.
also buy a little bottle of apple flavor nic juice and start to enjoy
tasty vapor instead of crappy tobacco. I am willing to bet you will
quit smoking cigarettes if you give it even a slight chance. I can’t
get over just how good this tastes compared to tobacco and with-
out all of the bad things (4000 to date) that you get with a tobacco
cigarette.

If you have any questions, just ask, I’ll be happy to answer.
