The White Guy Has A Black Baby…
…and is somehow surprised to find out that it’s not his. I love White Trash TV.
I’d Be In So Much Trouble
I don’t know how many times I’ve mooched broadband off unsecured access points. Maybe I should stop…
A Vancouver, Wash. coffee shop tired of seeing a 20-year-old man mooch off their free wireless Internet access called the police, who charged him with “theft of services.”
Brewed Awakenings employees dialed 911 after Alexander Eric Smith of Battle Ground, Wash. piggybacked off the shop’s wireless Internet service for more than three months.
Speaking of free WiFi, the access point I was setting up at my office is now live (it was live last Friday, so it could be up and running before the Pacific Crest Triathlon and sports festival that has taken over Sunriver the last few days). It covers a good chunk of the Southern part of the Village Mall. I took some of what I learned from responses to a previous post and built it into a good functionl access point. Our antenna is up on the top of the mall by the Coldwell Banker office, but there’s a signal at El Pescador, Dave (not a very strong one — I’m working on that). So if any of you are in Sunriver, feel free to hook up to it — I promise not to sue you or have you arrested if you mooch (we have bandwidth and content filter and proxies so bandwidth usage is minimal and it’s on a separate DSL line from our office T1, so we don’t care what you do with it).
You Just Can’t Find A Good Goat These Days
LONDON, England (AP) — A British army regiment’s ceremonial pet goat was demoted in disgrace after it marched out of line before a host of international dignitaries during a parade to mark Queen’s Elizabeth II’s birthday, a military spokesman said Saturday.
The military mascot, a 6-year-old male goat called Billy, was downgraded from the rank of lance corporal to fusilier — the same status as a private — after army chiefs ruled his poor display had ruined the ceremony June 16 at a British army base in Episkopi, western Cyprus.

Why It’s Such A Pain To Cancel AOL
This hilarious audio of somebody trying to cancel AOL reminds me of all the folks who seem to think I could cancel their AOL accounts (214 comments and counting). At least he wasn’t calling an Indian call center or something — can you imagine this conversation if the guy was from another country?
Thanks Dan for the audio.
Welcome KFXO.com Readers/Viewers
Apparently the video was directly linked via KFXO’s web site. I have no idea if it was mentioned on the air, but my site’s traffic has been up the last few days.
So welcome. My site is mostly just random crap with a few gems here and there, but if you’re here because of all the media coverage around this now infamous video (which has now been downloaded or viewed over 1000 times on this site), feel free to comment here and say “Hi”.
Water Cooled Xbox 360
I only wish I had the talen to pull of impressive modifications like this guy who managed to modify his Xbox 360 to run more than 50-degrees cooler with the help of a fully internal water cooling setup. The paint job and the flashy LEDs are pretty slick, too. If you don’t want to read through the whole thread, the final product pictures are on this page
