    Google Glass

    Half the time Android voice recognition blows my mind with how good it is. The rest of the time it makes me want to throw my phone out the window. I try to use it to text while driving and it's great and much safer UNLESS it repeatedly fucks up what I'm trying to say and I have to delete it 3...

    Die Hard 5- A Good Day to Die Hard.

    16% on RT. I haven't seen this, but all you need to know about this is that it's coming out in February. If it didn't suck it would be a summer movie.

    Yes, in the same way that corn stalks grow out of your poop when you eat popcorn.

    Adventures with Lyrical: Buying a Business (REPOST)

    Interesting because I just heard about Jeff Jarvis having the exact same experience on the BBC and basically calling them on their bullshit on the air.

    DSLR Camera

    This is true, but I think it's safe to say that the mirrorless lenses are going to get more numerous and DSLRs are eventually going the way of the dinosaur. Not right away, but smaller cameras are just highly preferable for many reasons and there is not any real advantage to the mirror in this...

    The Wire: Greatest Show Ever Made

    It's a crying shame that there isn't an HD version of this show. I would love to upgrade my DVDs to Blu-rays.

    Justified - Season 4 starts Jan 8th

    I think the plates just stood out because they were super cheesy personalized plates. Not the best choice for a criminal who doesn't want to draw attention to himself.

    Google Glass

    I wish voice recognition worked as reliably in real life as it does in these videos.

    Rosetta Stone: Espanol

    Totally immersing yourself in a foreign language is great advice except for the fact that it's completely impractical for almost everyone that is not actually moving to a different country.

    The Fast Food Thread

    I spent 45 minutes outside a Mexican restaurant in the Phoenix airport once watching Mexican ladies roll burritos and despite that and practicing a fair amount myself I still suck at it.

    Yeah, that was the inspiration for my pineapple thing. I bet having some butter in the sauce would improve it.

    Justified - Season 4 starts Jan 8th

    They showed in a flashback scene that he had learned that Raylan was living in that bar during their previous confrontation and since he had basically told Raylan he was coming for him, it makes sense that he would be waiting where he thinks Raylan lives.

    Justified - Season 4 starts Jan 8th

    It was fun watching a quick-draw scene. Hasn't been much of that in the last couple seasons. I find the idea that swinger parties are the preferred meeting place for the upper crust in this community a bit of a stretch, but I like them trying to manipulate Boyd. Definitely a tiger by the...

    Survivor 26: Caramoan

    Apparently the fat Marine is not new to yelling at people. Here he is yelling at cops at Occupy Wall Street.

    Survivor 26: Caramoan

    The blonde lady that organized the alliance of six on the fans team is off to a good start. She has the fat Marine to draw all the fire and she's calling the shots while no one is paying any attention to her at all. Better yet, she has a big enough lead now that she can sacrifice the fat...

    I feel bad for Sheldon but this is the finale I wanted to see. Whoever wins will be deserving IMO.

    The Sopranos. I want to watch it but 9 seasons is just too daunting to start on.

    Adventures with Corndog: Corndog's Fish Store

    Corndog - Are you planning to get employees right away or are you going to be a one man show to start out? Sometimes I would like to have an employee but it seems like more trouble than it's worth a lot of the time.

    Hot fruit on ice cream is the greatest dessert ever. Sometimes I grill fresh pineapple and then put equal parts brown sugar and rum (like half a cup of each) into a pan and let it melt the sugar and boil out the alcohol (if you want you can light it on fire while it's boiling for dramatic...

    Adventures with Corndog: Corndog's Fish Store

    You need a CPA if you don't have one but you can do this yourself. Your CPA can tell you how. As far as the taxes go though, there is a formula for social security and such based on your income and W-4. You will write a check (or a transfer) to yourself and one to social security for each pay...

    Do you have health insurance?

    It's completely fair that having kids should increase your own costs and no one else's. If you can't afford to pay $1000 a month for health insurance, you shouldn't have had 4 kids.

    Retirement questions - any early retirees out there?

    Bingo. Don't wait until you are retirement age to start enjoying your life. If you dread going in to work every day, find another fucking job. I don't care if you have 10 years in on the pension plan or you are afraid doing what you like might pay a bit less, waiting to enjoy your life until...

    Do you have health insurance?

    No one on planet earth would offer you those options. You're being obtuse. You guys are so fucking obstinate at disagreeing with me that it doesn't even matter what we're talking about. I never suggested that you just go to your boss and say "Hey, why don't you go ahead and reduce my health...

    I have never gotten my apps back after getting a new phone with android. Once I sign in with my google account all my contacts and stuff are there, but I always had to re-download the apps. Is there a way to get them back automatically?

    WWYD if your girlfriend said she was on birth control but wasnt and got preggo?

    I don't know what a kid costs but $50k a year is clearly nonsense. I have a friend with 5 kids and I would be shocked if he makes over $80K and his wife doesn't work. They don't have a lot of cash but they own a home, two cars, keep all the kids dressed, go on vacations, etc.

    Retirement questions - any early retirees out there?

    My grandparents retired in their early 50's and after watching them do it, I would not do it myself. They had the same plans as everybody else, they were going to travel, get into their hobbies full time, etc. They bought an RV and a fishing boat and hit the road. After about 5 years they had...

    Do you have health insurance?

    What I really think is that people should pay for their own health insurance. The fact that someone other than you is paying for a service that you use corrupts the market and the only winner is the insurance companies. If the plans I just got offered were offered to somebody with employees...

    WWYD if your girlfriend said she was on birth control but wasnt and got preggo?

    This is why it's better for the woman to get snipped. That way if something goes wrong you don't have to wait 9 months to find out if your wife is cheating on you.

    Do you have health insurance?

    I just had kind of an interesting situation with my insurance. Since I am sort of my own employer, they just raised my $2500 deductible plan to $371 a month. They also offered me a $3000 deductible plan for $250 a month. To me that is a no-brainer, I save $1452 a year in premiums and pay $500...

    Gold Rush

    When you're figuring your business finances you don't necessarily consider equipment purchases a straight expense even if you don't finance it. The equipment isn't used up, you can sell it when you're done and get most of your money back. The only real expense is depreciation and whatever...

    CL Casual Encounters?

    If you're really that into anonymous sex just go with the escort services. It doesn't really cost more in the long run and there's no drama unless you don't pay in which case a large black man will be beating you to a pulp.

    WWYD if your girlfriend said she was on birth control but wasnt and got preggo?

    There's pretty much no guarantee that you won't wind up pregnant short of not fucking. It's part of the game. If you would consider it an absolute disaster to get a particular woman pregnant, you probably shouldn't fuck her. Even having the tubes tied fails sometimes. Of course if she's on...

    Peaches and Nectarines are the best type of fruit to get at a farmer's market if you live in CA or GA or someplace that they grow them. The reason is that they are so delicate when they're ripe, so if they're going to survive trucking across the country they have to be picked totally green and...
