Guinness is Good For You

From: CourierPress: Me

Guinness worked like aspirin to prevent clots that increase the risk of heart attacks.
researchers have found that antioxidants from the moderate use of stout might reduce the incidence of cataracts by as much as 50 percent.
beer, either dark or light, protects bone-mineral density because of its high levels of silicon, which allows the deposit of calcium and other minerals into bone tissue.
Pregnant women and racehorses, one a day,"

Clearly, God wants you to have a Guinness. It's for your health.

Wil Wheaton Has A... Brother?

There's been a lot of talk about this next song.
Maybe, maybe too much talk. This song is not a rebel song.

From WWDN

My brother just opened up his very first CafePress store! His current design is a parody of the 24Hr Fitness design, called 24Hr Fatness. I have one of his shirts, and let me tell you something, Curly, it gets quite a response from the ladies.... Am I buggin' you? I don't mean to bug ya... Okay Edge, play the blues...

So I'm not the first to comment on the U2 reference. I've been feeling a need to listen to War all day ever since my brother sent me his pictures of Red Rocks.
Guess it's a Brothers-Reminding-You-Of-U2-Songs kind of day. Time to go throw in Under A Blood Red Sky.

Wil Wheaton is a big copycat!

Exhibit A: Wil's picture from today wil's Chucks
Exhibit B: My picture from Feb 23rd new chucks
In the meantime, please ignore such things as this which might imply that this is not the first time that WIl has taken pictures of his Chucks, and thereby imply that he did not, in fact, totally copy me.
I'm so cool, even Wil Wheaton wants to be me... and not the other way around.
I'd add in a \m/, but then who'd be the copy cat?

the friday five

It's time for the friday five again:

If you... 1. ...owned a restaurant, what kind of food would you serve?

It would probably be refered to as "fusion" since me and TBWITWW like to mess with our recipes. We have lots of foods we make that refer to as "__________ stuff" Green stuff, mushroom stuff, cheese stuff...

2. ...owned a small store, what kind of merchandise would you sell?

I'd either want to have a book store, probably used books... or a crap shop. You've seen them. the ones that look like a permanent garage sale... I'd collect stuff and then sell it.

3. ...wrote a book, what genre would it be?

Hmmm... I'm a pretty crappy writer. But I think I'm good at stepping people through things so I'd probably write a user guide or textbook sort of thing.

4. ...ran a school, what would you teach?

I'm not sure what I'd teach to start with... probably lighting. But, if I ran the school, I think I'd set it up so that anyone could teach a class and if you taught you could take other classes for free. Course fees would be low ($10) and would go to paying for the facilities and such, teachers would be volunteer. It's a nice theory.

5. ...recorded an album, what kind of music would be on it?

If I recorded an album, it'd probably have crappy music on it since I'm not a musician in any way shape or form. However I wouldn't mind helping produce or engineer an album for my friend Phil.

Photo Hack 3

I've realized that this isn't really a "Hack" for WP exactly, it's more of a stand alone kind of thing that I'm tacking on to WP. My attempt at layout is above. So far, not so successfull. I can't figure out how to center my big image vertically, and I haven't yet tried it with vertical images, so we'll see what's up as I go. Still no closer to figuring out how to automate the process of updating them either.
