Sandra Fluke, the 30 year old college slut that wants you to pay all of her birth control…
Is it just me, or does she look familiar?
The Book Signing
The book signing was fun. Talked to some interesting people, signed some books. According to Hastings Book Store, I am Famous and Renowned.
A couple things made this day special for me. One, was that my brother came up and hung out with me during the signing. The other was that my wife came out with me and shared this special day with me.
One of the things we discovered together… or Re-Discovered together, is the Back Way to Ogden. We drove Highway 40 to Heber, as usual. Then north to connect to I-80. Normally we would turn West and hit SLC. This time, we turned East and headed towards Wyoming… We hit the interchange of Highway 84 I think it was, and this took us pretty much straight up to Ogden, bypassing the Worst Traffic In The World, and shaving off about 45 Minutes.
What was neat about this route was that it is MADE FOR MOTORCYCLES and I am determined to RIDE this Route as soon as I can as it was spectacular. Lots of twists and curves and some gorgeous scenery… it has become one of my favorite roads.
As a bonus, it also passes through Morgan, UT. For those not familiar with Morgan, take a good close look at the barrel of your Browning Firearm.
I think we need to organize a Group Ride from Heber City to Morgan, so we can pay homage to Browning.
Things I hate in Movies
There are 3 Key movie elements that has become rather popular in most any movie these days in one form or another. If you have one of these Elements in your movie – Your Movie Sucks. If your movie has more than one, it really sucks.
Roller Coaster Scenes. Any Scene where the characters are in a run away vehicle of some sort, coal car, mine car, Sled, or just sliding down a long thing…. I hate Roller Coasters. Disney Animated Movies are famous for these things.
Costume Change Montages. The Character is trying on multiple outfits. As found in any chick flick, these scenes usually are book ended by Shopping Montages.
Hysterical Screaming Women. The woman character, regardless of looks or relationship to the protagonist, can do nothing but scream.
There is one movie that pretty much touches on all these elements to one extent or another, and I hate it. It’s classified as a Non-Movie. A piece of Film Garbage that is not mentioned or referenced – ever – due to the massive suckage.
I had to use a clip that didn’t have that stupid bitch screaming so I wouldn’t shoot my computer.
Bonus Element: Dragons. I fucking hate Dragons. Unless it’s Smaug. Or Management. Those are the only good dragons. Your Dragon sucks.
Supernatural
I hate to say this… but I think Supernatural has beaten Firefly as my favorite TV Series. Firefly was awesome, very awesome indeed. But Supernatural just has everything that makes it all work. Action, Adventure, Humor, Cool Car, Cool Music, it’s just the top of the food chain.
If you are missing Supernatural, you are in a sadder world.
Beretta 92FS vs Taurus PT92, in Pictures.
On the Gun Forums, a lot of guys have talked about how good looking a Gun is. When it comes to Sexy Handguns, this one right here really is it. Let’s compare it to what others have already compared it to… Monica Bellaluci.
Book Signing
This Saturday I will be doing a Book Signing at the Hastings book store in Ogden at 1pm. The location is 340 E 525 N.
Use Google Maps or a Garmin to find it… Not Apple Maps.
I will be kicking it out there on my ZX-11, straight in to Hastings from Ogre Ranch. Afterwards, I will need some foodage, so anyone wants to come hangout and gobble burgers is welcome… And then I have to Jetmoto back as I’ve got obligations to care for Saturday night.
I was asked if I will sign ammo pouches or holsters. Sure. I’ve also signed Kindled, iPads, and a Nook. I will also sign breasts if I must. Anything for my fans.
I’ll be taking pictures too… This is going to be a blast. Talking Zombies, Horror flicks, Prius Destruction… Come on out!
To Blog or not to Blog
If you think you want to Blog… Go for it. Just do it. Its easy.
Oh, wait… you want to have a successful blog? Define successful first.
First thing you need though, is something to say. If you just want to run your mouth, use Twitter or Facebook. If you want to really publish your words, then Blog.
The best way to do it is to pick a topic or two, or even three. These are you main subjects and stick to those. These should be subjects you are knowledgeable about.
Blog regularly, but make sure you have a point.
Blog for yourself. If you have an audience then great.
Don’t look at Blog Stats. Just do what you do.
If you don’t suck, people will dig it. If they don’t, who care? You blog for yourself. If you stay true to this, people will dig it.
I am considering, very strongly, starting a new blog. This would be a Food/Road/Character blog. A division of MadOgre.com. Not a replacement. If/When I do that, I’m going to kill my Facebook Account and just concentrate on my blogs and WTA.
Post Election Violence
The media is throwing their arms in the air because there might be riots if Obama loses the election.
Huh.
I’d be more worried about the possible Civil War if Obama wins.
I feel that no matter what happens, there will be blood. Its just a matter of degree. If all we have are some overturned and burnt cars is a few of the big cities, then we will be lucky. A few riots is probably the best case scenario.
I remain optimistic about the future of our Nation, only because I am optimistic that Romney will win. I can see things getting back to normal. If Obama wins… the Nation will forever be changed into something it was never meant to be.
Nexus 7 Update
So the Droid developers just pushed an OS update for the Nexus 7 Tablet. From 4.1.1 to the shiny new 4.1.2. All that I’ve seen different is that I can go “Landscape” at the desktop screen. They have said that it contains some minor bug fixes as well. But the download was over 31 Megs worth. That seems to be a rather substantial download to go Landscape and fix a few bugs.
But something did happen there under the hood. This new Jelly Bean seems to be a bit quicker than before and it seems to be a bit better on the battery. It has taken what was a good little Tablet, and made it better.
Now that I’ve been using the Nexus 7 for awhile now, what are my impressions? Well, it could use a few key features for the next version. A Memory Card Slot would be slick. User Replaceable batteries is another. Or the option of getting an Extended battery would be great too. I like the size, but I’d happily have it twice as thick if it had more battery run time. As it is, the battery life is great. I can go 2 or 3 days with normal use or all day if I’m pounding it.
It can do a lot of things. Email, WordPress, Tapatalk, all your normal Droid features. Mainly it’s a Communication Appliance for me. But what makes it especially handy for me is that I can connect it to a Blue Tooth Keyboard and then use if for actual writing. Like what I’m doing with it right now. When done, it goes into the Tank Bag and the Nexus rides in a Pelican Case, in the Tank Bag as well. Not a full sized backpack like my Laptop has to ride in. I really like that bit. Being a Motorcyclist, size is everything to me. And this little 7″ unit is about perfect. It’s big enough to read magazines on it just fine, while not being obnoxious like some other tablets I’ve seen. It has a very good Wireless system and gets a better Wireless system than several tablets that I’ve seen.
I’ve found the Nexus to be very useful and I like it. It’s not a Laptop Replacement, but it handles many of my computing needs.
