Don’t blame me, I voted for Kodos!
Kodos! Kange you can believe in!

I have way too much stuff on my menu bar. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that I like to keep my dock as empty as possible. Just take a look at all the stuff I keep on there ->

A Solution

I have a solution in mind, I need a drawer for my menu bar items! Something like stacks except for my menu bar. Basically I imagine it opening up vertically and showing it’s contents. Something like this ->

UPDATE Justin Hileman Just sent over a screenshot of his menu.

Impressive

The new iphone is so amazing! The other day I had some car trouble and I was stuck in the middle of no where with no help in site. Luckily I still was in 3G coverage so the internet was lighting fast, I found out where I was using the built-in GPS and starting looking for a mechanic.

I started in on wikipedia to find out what might be wrong with my car and 4 1/2 hours later I was too busy watching sweet car crashes on youtube to care about being stuck in the middle of no where!

In fact, I felt so mobile I made this blog post and sent an email to my boss to let him know I wouldn’t be in today!

Thanks iphone!

This morning I woke up and was getting ready to go when I realized that I didn’t have a single dry pair of pants. They were all in the wash. What was a man to do?

I popped a mentos in my mouth and danced around like an idiot grinning cheesily until I was at my closet. I had suit pants! So I’m rocking a tie today to go with my suit pants.

MENTOS! THE FRESHMAKER!

The other day we were babysitting watching my Nephews and one of them came storming in still yelling at his brother

“Gawwwl, you’re such a BABY! WHY DON’T YOU GO BACK TO PRE-SCHOOL AND LEARN HOW TO FIGHT LIKE A MAN!”

Funny, the curriculum must have changed since I was a kid…

A while ago woot.com had a deal on refurbished Zunes. I got me a 30 GB white one and people were like “What in the hells man? You have a Mac!”

Right they were, I do have a mac. But it was 30Gbs of sweet mp3 storage for a hundred bucks! Who could pass that up? (if I read a single comment that says “I would” I swear…)

So what do I think? Has it been worth it? Read on if you are so brave (more…)

I’ve been tell’in a buddy of mine that I was going to write about his blog for a long time. So now I finally will.

Shoes of the Day is run by a completely heterosexual male who really likes shoes. I have laughed at 4 of his last 5 posts so check it out. Shoe lovers especially should find it in the very least interesting.

I just recently found out that I’m going to be an Uncle! I’m pretty excited. Actually, Im getting married and my betrothed has like 20 nephews and nieces so I guess I’ll be an uncle as many times over.

This got me thinking about people that have some sort of “Naming convention” for their kids. I know of a family with 11 children, 9 girls, two boys and they all have names that start with J. So Judy, Jan, Jenny, Jason, Jemima, etc.

That’s pretty cool I guess but I think it could be a lot better.

Naming your kids after childhood icons

For instance what if you named your kids after characters off of Masters of the Universe. You would have all these great names to choose from.

• -He-Man
• -Prince Adam
• -She-Ra
• -Princess Adora

I know that He-Man and Prince Adam are one and the same but what if you named the older brother He-Man and the younger brother “Prince Adam.” Then when the Prince got picked on for being named “Prince Adam” his big brother He-Man would come beat everyone up! AWESOME!

If you run out of names you can name the last kid Skeletor. Life would be great for that kid, no more wondering what or who to be for halloween, it’s just Skeletor, every year!

“Hey She-Ra, do you need help with your homework?”

The outpour from the community has been incredible! My recently posted exciting business offer has generated an incredible amount of offers. In fact, I’m initiating a stock split! I was originally selling 1,000 shares but as demand has gone up I’m raising the number of shares to ONE MILLION. What does that mean for all the people that have already bought shares?

Their shares have grown in value by a factor of 1,000 which means those that gave already jumped in have earned THOUSANDS of dollars already.

More Signs of my future riches!

Bryan Phelps has become an investment partner and just the other day received his own fortune. Not only did he receive cookies with excellent fortunes but he received fortunes pertinent to this investment. I encourage all to read it because pretty soon Bryan is going to be blinging just like MC PeePants

Opposition

Being successful means having to face what we like to call “Nay Sayers”. These are people that say “Nay” instead of “Yay” as in “Yay! I’m RICH!”

Just look at this doubtful comment I received from a British person named “MEH”.

Quote : “If the ‘fortune’ discovered is less than the total value of all shares then payout is 50% of any share’s value.”

So let’s play with some numbers…

Let’s say that 60 million people invest $1 in this and the final fortune which you actually get is $1. That would mean that everyone would get back roughly 50% of what they put in plus one sixty millionth of a dollar..?

You make yourself $30 million…

Let’s say, for arguments sake, that ten people invest in your stupid scheme, and it IS a scheme, and each of them give you $1. You can then state that the fortune acquired was something stupid like an additional fortune cookie and therefore the initial investment of $10 will give your investors $0.50 return because there was no value to the actual fortune.

You make yourself $5

Every way I look at this is screams “SCAM!”

=================
A better way to make money would be to put bets on how long it will be before this comment is removed or how likely it is to be posted in the fist place it needs verification.

Now, I don’t want to be impolite to our British visiteur (see, I even spelled so he can enjoy this post) but as we all know “MEH” stands for “Mildly Enhanced Hamsters” which is in the same family as R.O.U.S. or Rodents of Unusual Size.

The point is, who are you going to take financial advice from? Me or the british rat boy that bet his comment would be taken down immediately?

I mean, common, who lost that bet?

On a Separate note

This blog will not be trading it’s content and style for a money making scheme because that would be totally lame.

As our friends across the pond always say, Cheers!

Do you have dreams?

I know I do.

That’s why I’m here to let you in on the ground floor of an exciting opportunity! Is it lucrative? Could be! Will you definitely become super rich really fast? Obviously!

Most investment opportunities require you to sign up before you even find out what you’re investing in! This is simply not the case with my super lucrative, happy fun time, once in a life time chance, opportunity!

But Dan! What is this Opp-or-tunity of which you speak!?

I’m glad you asked! let me tell you about it

It all started a little more than a week ago. I was eating lunch at Panda Express with some co-workers and, as usual, got a fortune cookie. Little did I know the Magical power that I was about to unleash. For you see, when I cracked open that cookie I found my fortune. Not only did I find a fortune but I am ready to share it with you.

This was my fortune:

The Rundown

Here’s the rundown, obviously this fortune cookie is saying that I will be coming into a fortune soon. As of yet, I have not discovered this fortune and it could have a huge monetary value. I would like to do you, the consumer, a favor though. I want to help you get in on the ground floor

Rather than just selling my fortune to a single person I’m selling stock in my fortune. One thousand shares will be issued, each worth a dollar, redeemable for the percentage value of the fortune that I come into.

Let me break that down for you.

The Breakdown

If you invest $10 and my fortune ends up being worth a million (hardly a fortune these days) You will make One Thousand Dollars ($990 profit). That’s a 1000% return! There are some extra terms and stipulations of course (you’ll learn the rules after you sign up).

Been Burned Before by Get Rich Schemes?

Let’s get one thing clear, this is not a scheme! It bares no resemblance to a pyramid. It doesn’t require your social security number (just your credit card and possibly some blood). I understand that some of you may have been burned before. But unlike other “so called” investments and get rich quick schemes, this investment strategy has never been tried before. It’s a totally fresh, new way of looking at making money.

This isn’t just a once in a life time chance, this is a once in forever chance to get in on something big! Something very big!
