<p>Randy Pausch was a professor at both University of Virginia and Carnegie Mellon<br />
who died July 25th 2008 of pancreatic cancer. He was a Computer Science<br />
Professor who worked with Disney, Google, Adobe, and created the ALICE program<br />
for teaching introductory computing.</p>
<p>What he is really known for is a lecture he gave in the last year of his life<br />
called Last Lecture: Achieving Your Childhood Dreams. His charismatic style and<br />
inspirational advice made this lecture an instant hit.</p>

<p>Another lecture he gave towards the end of his life was very appropriately<br />
about Time Management. This lecture is really useful for anyone who feels<br />
strapped for time. He gives useful hints about delegation, email management, and<br />
turning off the tv!</p>

<p>Do yourself a favor and watch these…especially if you DON’T have the time.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.nbc.com/Saturday_Night_Live/video/clips/macgruber-financial-ruin/773921/" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.nbc.com');">http://www.nbc.com/Saturday_Night_Live/video/clips/macgruber-financial-ruin/773921/</a></p>
<p>Ok or Okay, <em>whatev</em> (very valley girl of me) I am usually the first to say, that i dont really find the new SNL that great, but this one just had me pissing out of my ass by the 3rd Macgruber skit.  Very much worth your time.  I normally watch more TV, but currently i have had other interests.  (not dicks)</p>
<p> (okay, yes dicks)</p>
<p>So I got back from blizzcon and wow.  There was a robot turtle that someone built.  She <em>rode</em>  it.  I dont think i have seen so many fat, ponytailed kids running around computers in my life.  I had hopes that blizzard had expanded their audience to more than just the normal, run of the mill nerd.  I was hoping for catching some cooler nerds, like Moby and Beck style nerds.  Well, one can dream.  Anyway, it was actually not all that great since basically everything had an hour plus wait just to try the stuff out.  Hell, just to take a picture on some giant frozen penis you had to wait an hour.  At least you got to hold a sword and wear a helmet while you sat upon the majestic ice balls. </p>
<p>I got a goodie bag from that place, filled with nerderific stuff like Magic the Gathering, mousepads, cinnamints, comics, etc. but mostly i came for the free blizzcon card which i will now turnaround and sell for 150 on ebay.  Not bad considering I got in free.  That 150 will go promptly to my purchase of other shitty shit that i dont need.</p>
<p>Time for me to decide on a tag.  The best one was suggested by LouDiamondPhilips.  Thanks Lou, i didnt realize you were a fan, in fact, i am a huge fan of yours, especially when you got pounded in the boo hoo tay in American Me.  It was hot, but not in a gay way.  More in a rustic, deliverance way.  <em>So young and tender</em>.  <strong>oink oink</strong> So my tag will hence forth be loc (aka lo-carb), its kinda gangsta which makes me feel closa ta da streetz.  But knowing me, i will pick a new one or stop using it next week.</p>
<p>-loc (or as my friends call me Lil Ceezy, AMILI AMILI AMILI AMILI)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jailbreaking refers to hacking your iphone to be able to run applications that are not available in the apple store.  Further, you can modify the look and feel of your iphone to, for example, modify the unlock screen of your iphone or even change the buttons and borders in your iphone home screen.  The full potential of the iphone is not reached until it is broken - and, oddly enough, it&#8217;s incredibly simple to do.<br />
<strong>Pros of jailbreaking your phone :</strong></p>
<ul>
<li> Impossible to brick/damage the phone. Worst case if you screw something up you restore to factory defaults, start over and do it right.</li>
<li> Free applications</li>
<li> Run apps not sanctioned by Apple (NES emulator, BossPrefs, Winterboard, and a ton of others)</li>
<li> Themes/custom icons/backgrounds/lock screen</li>
<li> SSH into the phone to change advanced settings or install cracked apps</li>
<li> Can still buy/download free and pay App Store apps like normal</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Cons of jailbreaking your phone :</strong></p>
<ul>
<li> You&#8217;ll need to re-jailbreak after each firmware update</li>
<li> You&#8217;re messing with your iPhone.  I&#8217;ve come to love mine like a child.</li>
</ul>
<p>With that, let&#8217;s go over how to jailbreak your iphone.</p>
<p><strong>Requirements:</strong><br />
<em>Apple iPhone running software 2.1</em>.  (If you&#8217;re unsure of what software you&#8217;re running, simply connect your iphone to your computer, start up iTunes, go to your iPhone within the devices tree, click on that, and it should bring up a diagnostic of your iPhone ranging from name, capacity, software, and serial number.)<br />
<em> Windows based PC</em> (It is possible to jailbreak with an Apple computer, but, quite frankly, I don&#8217;t care about them.)<br />
<a href="http://www.technoh.net/forums/Downloads/QuickPwn/QuickPwn21-1.zip http://www.fidunderground.com/wp-content/QuickPwn21-1.zip http://i.omerc.net/QuickPwn21-1.zip http://download.s1.christophertran.net/devteam/quickpwn/2.1/QuickPwn21-1.zip " onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.technoh.net');"><em>Quickpwn </em>(This is the program that will do the nitty gritty of jailbreaking.  The coders of it worked hard so we don&#8217;t have to - consider donating to them.</a></p>
<p>Let’s do this!</p>
<p>Step 1.  Connect your iPhone to your computer, and run Quickpwn.  Upon loading, it will search for your iPhone.  Click on the green arrow to go to step 2.</p>
<p>Step 2.  Locate the iPhone IPSW on your computer.  The IPSW is essentially your iphone software (like an operating system).  It should already be highlighted.  Wait for the checkmark to appear over the iphone on your computer screen, and click next.</p>
<p>Step 3.  You will be given the option of installing three different programs:  Cydia, Installer, and Change of boot logo.  Uncheck change boot logo (unless for some odd reason you would like to change it from the ubiquitous apple logo to the quickpwn logo), and click next.  Details on Cydia and installer in a few steps.</p>
<p>Step 4.  This part is somewhat tricky.  Make sure your iphone is still connected to your computer and click next.  It will ask you to go into Recovery Mode.  Quickpwn will go sorta nutty for a few seconds while it restarts your iphone.  NOW THE TRICKY PART!</p>
<p>Step 5.  Quickpwn will tell you what to do on screen, but I&#8217;ll tell you here as well.  Hold down the power and home button together.  When Windows makes the USB disconnect sound, release the power button while holding the home button still.  Hold down the hold button until the quickpwn tells you to.  When it tells you to let go, let go and quickpwn will continue the rest.</p>
<p>Step 6.  There&#8217;ll be a bar on your iPhone screen detailing how far along it is.  After a few minutes, your iPhone will reboot, and you&#8217;ll have a brand spanking new jailbroken iPhone!</p>
<p><em>Now that we’re jailbroken…..</em><br />
You&#8217;ll now have two new applications in your iphone.  One is <strong>Cydia</strong>, which is like the jailbroken version of the app store.  Here you can download nearly anything and everything you would need to modify your iphone.  It&#8217;s about as intuitive and self-explanatory as the app store, so just have at it in there.  I&#8217;d begin by downloading PDAnet.  PDAnet allows you to tether your iphones internet connection to your laptop computer, which is probably the most handy application ever.  No more paying for internet at Starbucks.  You could even surf the internet in your car if you wanted to.  Also, the NES emulator is a good app as well, for those days when you&#8217;re bored and itching to play Contra.</p>

<p>Finally, download Winterboard and Bosspreffs, via Cydia, to modify your home screen so you can go from the plain old wallpaper, not unlike this:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On the famous Las Ramblas in Barcelona, there is a little shot bar called <a href="http://www.espitchupitos.com/"target="_blank"  title="Espit Chuptio Las Ramblas Barcelona Spain" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.espitchupitos.com');">Espit Chupito</a>. Chupito is Spanish for &#8220;shot&#8221; and they have over 500 types of shots on their menu. That menu is also scrawled over the bar&#8217;s wall.  At 2 euro per shot it is a cheap fade and most of their shots are pretty spectacular. Lots involve fire and a few even incorporate whipped cream and&#8230;ahem&#8230;sex toys. That one is called the Monica Lewinski. Order it for your friends.</p>

</table>
<p> Other memorable shots are:</p>
<p>Antorcha - Spanish for Torch. This one is tough to explain. It involves an orange peel, 151, a glass, a straw, and my snorkel. No snorkel, but the above picture should clear up EXACTLY what happens here.</p>
<p>Viuda Negra - Spanish for Black Widow. Mix strong mint and cinnamon shots in your mouth for 10 seconds. Swallow and inhale. It burns so strong.</p>
<p>The Boyscout - I only remember that a marshmallow is roasted over open flame during this shot. It was tasty and very wholesome. I promise.</p>
<p>Cement Mixer - This is not an Espit original, but a known joke shot. Here&#8217;s the recipe.</p>
<blockquote><p>1 shot Bailey&#8217;s Irish cream<br />
1/2 shot lime juice<br />
1/2 shot 151 proof rum<br />
Fill one shot glass with Bailey&#8217;s. Fill second shot glass with Lime and 151.</p>
<p>To Drink:<br />
Pour Bailey&#8217;s into mouth, do not swallow. Pour Lime and 151 into mouth. Shake head back and fourth, the shot will turn solid.</p></blockquote>
<p>If you ever find yourself in the area, check it out. Until then, this video will give you a good idea of what it&#8217;s like in there.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since traditional British Food is completely void of spices, it is shocking that Brits have taken such a liking to the spicy curries of Indian Food. Actually, it&#8217;s not just a liking, but an addiction&#8230;much like India&#8217;s obsession with Britain&#8217;s national sport, Cricket. Hmmmm. Who ever said that colonization was a bad thing?</p>
<p>Back to the food. On a recent trip to London, I sought out the best Indian Food in the city and I found myself on a small street called Brick Lane aka Mini Mumbai. My expectations were low despite Londoners constantly bragging about the quality of their curry. After all, England isn&#8217;t typically known for their food. Was I about to get told?</p>
<p>The restaurant we picked, after a unanimous recommendation by locals, was Preem &amp; Priti. Not only was it was a cute play on words, but it was also open late. We ordered a special which came out to £11/person.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.funkrocks.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/Preem_Prithi_Brick_Lane_London_Curry_Large.jpg" title="Preem and Prithi Restaurant Brick Lane London" ><img src="http://www.funkrocks.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/preem_prithi_brick_lane_london_curry.jpg" alt="Preem and Prithi Restaurant Brick Lane London" /></a></p>
<p>It came with a first course of papadum, assorted chutneys, and pickled veggies. That was followed by some tandoori chicken and kebab. In a US Indian Restaurant, the meat is the main course, but in London they are nucking futs about their curry. Finally our Lamb Vindaloo and Chicken Makhani curries arrived and it was good. REALLY GOOD!! The Lamb Vindaloo was spicy as hell! So spicy, that I was trying really hard to keep from sweating in front of the London Locals. This food was as spicy as you get in India. Even the less spicy dishes were tasty and authentic.</p>
