Technology Enhanced
Gundoc and I are both now sporting new HTC Sensation smart phones. These things do freaking everything. 2 dual core processors that make this cell phone faster than most of the computers I’ve ever owned. Certainly faster than my HP Mini Netbooks.
Glympse, so my Homies know where I’m rolling when I am in SLC – or going to and from SLC. Google Doc, so I can write Uprising as I am inspired. 1080P Video that can upload straight to YouTube so when I’m out at the range, blowing things up with some firepower from Crusader Weaponry – I can show it off. More product highlights from The Gun Counter. All that.
Oh, and better yet – Crusader Students can actually get a hold of me when they are lost trying to find The Training Range. It’s all good like that. Speaking of Training, we’re going to be doing a couple training classes after GunDoc and I spend a little time Sharpening our Skills with Massad Ayoob at his MAG-40 Class. Instructors are Perpetual Students themselves, and If my edge is dull, I can’t sharpen yours. So look at the Crusader Weaponry website and Facebook Page for those classes.
Chickenbutthead
There is this new hairstyle going around… it’s very popular. Girls are turning up all over the place with it. It’s “Bobbed” but shorter up the back (giving the impressing of tail feathers), and longer on the sides (giving the impression of wings). It looks like a Chicken that just got ravaged by a Rooster. It’s the stupidest hairstyle I’ve ever seen. Girls, why do you want your head to look like you’ve been Rooster Raped? Seriously. Don’t do that to your head. It’s not Cute, or Sassy, it’s freaking Retarded.
England
The UK likes to put on the Holier Than Though attitude over the USA. They like to think of themselves as more intelligent and more sophisticated than us “Colonials”. The events in the UK in the recent turmoil seem to show otherwise.
Yes, we have had some riots… such as the Rodney King riots in LA. And some looting such as after Katrina. But those were kicked off by some event or disaster… and then they were limited to one city. In the UK it started over pretty much nothing and seems to have been spreading all over Great Britain. Baseball Bats are in high demand.
Stiff upper lip, Chaps.
On Gunfighter Cast again.
Had a great interview/talk/conversation with our friend Daniel Shaw on the Gunfighter Cast.
We of course talked about the book “Uprising“. During the conversation I didn’t realize how much time it was till I hung up the phone… 87 minutes. Good grief. The Podcast is of course edited down for time and content… but it just shows that it was a good time. A good time makes for good listening.
Jury Duty Summons
Yeah, I got the letter. Have the dates. Jury Duty.
If I’m not dismissed within 15 minutes of my walking through the door, I’ll lose all remaining respect for the Justice System.
Uprising USA Update: Nook, and other Formats
Uprising USA is now available for most E-Reader formats, via Smashwords.
Edit: Already selling Nook Books…. Awesome. Don’t forget to post positive reviews! If you want to post a negative review, my name is Max Brooks.
Star Trek > Star Wars
Netflix has the original series (with updated special effects) on streaming… I’ve watched about a dozen episodes. Now, I’ve always been on the Star Wars side of the issue. But after suffering a 20 year wait only for George Lucas to give me Jar-Jar Binks… I have come to reconsider both Sci-Fi universes and I have a new conclusion.
Star Trek is Cooler than Star Wars.
The most dangerous road in Utah
Congratulations to UDOT for creating the most dangerous road that I have ever ridden on. Highway 40, going through Strawberry. A few weeks ago I rode through and watched a couple on a motorcycle go down. That was due to the uneven layering of the road surface, and they way that UDOT directed traffic through it. Now the road is finished. And UDOT managed to create a surface that is not just slick, but also collects water and doesn’t allow it to run off. Sunday I rode through during a thunderstorm. It was absolutely scary. But I made it. I posted this on Facebook:
The hariest part of the ride was going past Strawberry with it’s newly refinished surface. Water doesn’t run off there. It collects. So to avoid hydroplaning, I threaded my tires in the track of a truck in front of me that was doing 75-80 MPH and I was going through where his tires splashed the water out, before the water came back in… if you know what I mean. It was either that, or go 40 MPH and risk getting run off the road. So it was dicey.
I point my finger at UDOT for totally crap engineering of the road.
Care Package for the Troops
Crusader Weaponry is putting together a care package for some troops. This time around, the package is going to some Air Force EOD Techs. Specifically to our good friend “Nightcrawler” and his compadres.
The Air Force is pulling more than their share of the EOD work load. From the casualties being sustained, it’s one of the most dangerous occupations in the military right now. They need some gear and supplies. Crusader will be donating a bunch of Slipstream, which is being used in weapons and robots over there right now. But the other gear is stuff we don’t have.
If you want to contribute, contact Joe at CrusasaderWeaponry. Or you can just send some money via PayPal. crusaderarmory@live.com
