The shirt design is in!

My gloves however, are not. Damn you, Nike.

We have our first game on Sunday at 3pm, on turf! No super mudbowl for us, and playing in the rain while be fantastical!

Nike reimbursed me for the gloves after only three weeks of sending wrong pairs and receiving disgruntled phone calls from yours truly. I think I’m keeping the other two (wrong color) ones. One pair used once, the other still new in the packaging — I figure I can pawn the $45 gloves off for $20 and feel better about myself for it. You know. For having to deal with their crappy warehouse and mediocre customer service.

I’ve scoured the interweb (eBay, Amazon, Footlocker, Sports Authority, etc) and cannot find them in large for less than $45. Due to the fact they cost me just over $20 from Nike.com I am highly unwilling to pay more than double that. Plus the gloves from last year are still superb.

I got the Mustang back, and the bumper looks really nice. They replaced my rear bumper, painted it, and it looks better than the rest of the car now. The guy even took the time to fill in some of the scratches I’ve accumulated over the past three years. Thanks to the combined efforts of Fortes Autobody Shop, Farmer’s Insurance, and their customer who rear-ended me at a stop light.

Civin is supposed to give me a banner to link to his sites — the least I can do since he’s providing me the hosting services. This is assuming his lazy ass can ever make one, and then send it to me. =P

PCWorld has a little write-up on the new iPhone 4G. Not a whole lot different, to be honest, although it will sport a 5MP camera and possibly a removable battery.

There’s also talks of the iPhone 4.0 software being released soon, to combat the releases of the Droid, Palm Pre and Nexus One phones. The most exciting part is that it, again, might support multi-tasking applications. Might. Maybe. If we all wish upon a star and think really really hard, with magical fairy/pixie dust.

Also, with Apple releasing Tablet PC screens, I believe the 4.0 software update is supposed to be more current and run with those. Who knows.

I am not going to mention Haiti (damnit, there I go..) but I will instead mention the founder of, in my opinion, the greast food chain of all time. Rest in Peace, Glen Bell. Thank you for such nummy food.

The founder of Taco Bell back in 1962 passed away yesterday.

I just installed a plugin for my page that enabled iPhone / iPod Touch users to view my page in a different (more screen friendly) version. ;)

So I am ditching, or rather attempting to ditch, Comcast from my home. They decided to jack up my HD TV rates $20 without notifying me ahead of time that my “special promotion” rate was ending; after making a customer service guy feel bad about his employment decisions the other day, they’re going to credit my account for the difference. I figure I will pay one final check then cancel the service, and let them figure it out.

Alternatively, I signed up for the Dish, which leaves me still needing a home internet service for my PC and iPhone, since 3G coverage is horrible in my living room; I need WiFi to survive with it. AT&T U-Verse is waaaay pricey, which leaves me with satellite internet (unreliable, expensive) or DSL — which I am okay with since I don’t do online gaming as much as I did a decade ago. However, a 3mbps DSL connection is going to run $40 / month since I don’t have a home phone line, and I pay $46-something for the cable internet, making me wonder if I should just keep the Comcastic internet connection. FML.

Speaking of yelling at customer service reps, I’ve laid into employees at Nike.com twice now. Part of my order the other week was 2 sets of football gloves, the same color/style; Large for me and Medium for Joe. However, mine came in grey, not white. Bastards.

End result: the new pair will be here Monday and I get a $20 gift card to boot. Great gear, but somewhat shotty on replacing screwed up orders, so hope you’re not one of the unfortunate ones. =)

So this is a little preview of the logo that will be on our uniforms for this football season. IT’s getting cropped, obviously, and will be in orange on a blue shirt. Snazzy?

We have our first (scrimmage) set of games on Sunday. Domination: begin! While we won’t have our full uniforms and we have two or three teammates out of town, it will be our first opportunity to show how much kicked ass we plan on dispensing to the other teams.

Technology section created!

Keyboard for your iPhone? You got it. There are also smaller versions available. You know you love it. Now we can quit complaining about the shitty touch screen typing..sort of.

There’s also a nifty comparison of iPhone vs Droid vs Nexus One to take a look at, see how new technology stacks up with old technology.~

Gaga and performers, on her latest tour

So, Gaga was pretty fantastical. I pretty much lost all verbal speech ability by the end of last night, and answering a phone call today at work was quite the excitingly fun challenge. I may have also danced off about ten pounds. Kid Cudi put on a good show, and the opening band was complete crap (good to those who didn’t know any better, but I’ve seen my large share of bands, and these people were on the lower end, I don’t even recall their name).

I didn’t get home until around 4am, but not before I was sniped by the CHP on my exit off the freeway at 3:45am or so — apparently I was going 95 on the freeway, which is quite the feat considering I had cruise control set at 74. You can bet I’ll be fighting that in court, and I’ll be lucky enough to see a 3am shift cop in at 11am to tell his side of the story to the judge. No matter, I haven’t been convicted of a speeding ticket in my Mustang since.. uhh.. summer 2006. So, yeah. =)

We have our sweet Christmas bonus being added to our paycheck this week, and I can instantly think of a half dozen ways to spend a free grand that I wouldn’t normally expect to have readily available. While I would love to repaint my car with some more snazz, the clutch needs to be done.. c’est le vie. I suppose I could wait until tax time (which always yields a high amount of cash back for me, thanks homeownership!) to deal with the automobile issues, and either throw it into a gym membership again, pay off some random credit card, or.. who knows.

I missed Muse playing at NSSN this year (see posts a few weeks back), but I heard from the grapevine that they will be performing in April, again. So, hooray!

As I type this, I am watching the 49ers dismantle the Cardinals.. too bad it means little as the chance of San Francisco making it to the playoffs is rather slim. I’m winning this week’s football pool however. I had 11 picks right, and the next closest has 10, and he chose the Cardinals for this game, meaning at best we would tie and go to total points for the tiebreaker; but seeing as the 49ers look to demolish this game, I’ll be taking the cash this week!

I added my little musical lyrics section there on the right – currently there’s two songs, and I am attempting to figure out some way of making it easier for me to incorporate additionals, as the current method by which I have it done is going to become complicated as soon as a I add a few more in there.

Anyhow, happy December! Christmas coming soon, viva Las Vegas!

If you go through his feedback history, it looks as if he’s sold a few of these already!

Do people really bid on these?

It’s been down for the past few days.. supposedly should be back up Tuesday or Wednesday, if not, I have another host already lined up.. sorry. =P

Take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories I don’t need’em
Take your space and take your reasons
But you’ll think of me
And take your cap and leave my sweater
‘Cause we have nothing left to weather
In fact I’ll feel a whole lot better
But you’ll think of me, you’ll think of me
