What? I can't believe they're stealing T-Cube as well. First the orange juice and now a computer? Man, my intellectual properties are just being trampled on! ... At least it's a decent size computer, looks like a gamecube .... not sure about the colour scheme though.

So according to slashdot, a japanese company is releasing a pocket-sized computer. The tentative name is the T-cube. Tri, I think you should sue.

Here's a link to an anime of Chrono Trigger

Some Japanese guy finishes Super Mario Brothers 3 in an amazing
11 minutes! Dude's got some crazy moves!

Leon Lett talks about his favourite Thanksgiving moment. Ha! Go Dolphins!

Apparently, Matt Groening was only joking when he said Fox News tried to sue The Simpsons.
In other news, I'm eating a McChicken right now and they didn't put any mayonnaise on it!

So Fox (Rochester) showed the episode of The Simpsons that Fox News was complaining about last night. Would've thought that they'd cut down on showing it after the way Fox News was complaining.

I played True Crime yesterday. I don't like the controls but the game is pretty decent. Lots of gangsta' rap music and street fights where you going around shooting people. Cool.
And now GTA/GTA:Vice is out for the XBOX too.
And also SWAT. So lot's of cool games to play.

Hey, want $250K US? Then tell Microsoft who released SoBig or MSBlast!

Holmfry, you should get this site shutdown as well. They say that Zelda is being bundled with the GameCube:MarioKart Bundle in Europe.

Heh, check it out, Rumsfeld isn't sure if he's lost his mojo or not.

What?!
Man how much did you shell out for that thing?
Dual CPUs and a friggin 23" LCD?!?!?! 23 inches? Man that's big! :) You should take a pic and post it.

First off, tildefrugal.net isn't on my own box so that's what the box at Twistedpair is running, not me.

At home, I've got a Celeron 300a running Gentoo Linux. It's a pretty cool distro if you're hardcore. Not as end-user friendly as Redhat or Mandrake but if you already have some Linux experience it's pretty sweet. It's completely source code based so all the stuff is built (and optimized) on your box. I really like the way the package management works.

The other box I have running at home is a 5 year old beige G3 mac.

But the big news is that my new G5 system arrived today. Man is this thing sweet! Dual 2ghz G5's, loaded it up with 2.5gb of ram. And I bought the 23" LCD display with it. This thing is HUGE! It just came this morning and I had to be at work for 1:30 so I haven't had much of a chance to play with it yet.

What's Frugal Running?

Yeah, hopefully I can download an episode of Vehicle Force Voltron. That would be interesting to watch. I think as a kid I liked the lions better though.
You had the Voltron set too Andrew? Cool.
There was an episode/movie at the end of the series I believe where both the Vehicle Force and the Lion Force team up to fight evil. I'd like to see that again.

Hey, just joining in here. Haven't really been following this too much yet so I'm going to throw a few things in there.

Fox sueing Fox is pretty whack, but why am I not surprised?

Wil Wheaton, never was much of a fan when he was on TNG but he has been pretty active in the geek movement so that's cool. Has he actually acted in anything recently or is he just sitting back cashing cheques from Star Trek?

Voltron, used to love this show when I was a kid. I remember in one of the episodes from the mini-series (the first few episodes of the Lions version) when one of the guys got killed (the dude who piloted blue lion if memory serves, and then the princess chick started piloting it). I think it was the first cartoon I saw as a kid when someone died, blew my mind (as in a "woah, cool" way, not a "ah mommy is that guy dead?" kid of way). I think I still have the Voltron toy at home (the die cast lions, not the lame plastic ones).

I also do remember the vehicle Voltron. There were 3 different "teams" air, ground, and water(?). I think that the Voltron robot looked cooler than the lions Voltron. The whack thing was that they had like 40 people or something that had to get together to form Voltron and like every episode they'd be like "hey, let's all split up and search this planet". Yeah, that's smart, individually we're a bunch of pussies and we have to all be together to make our super powerful robot so let's all split up?

However, there was also another Voltron, which I never saw on TV but did see the toys for. I believe this was the original Voltron, and the other 2 were follow-up series. That one had 3 smaller robots that could merge together into one bigger robot.

Voltron woot!

Rich fan places an ad to have Wannstedt fired and Fiedler benched.
GO DOLPHINS!

I downloaded Mozilla 1.5 and Mozilla Firebird 0.7.
Hopefully Mozilla 1.5 will fix some bugs that existed in 1.4 (like when I open more than 4 tabs or so, the fonts would be all messed up).
Firebird is OK. I like that the toolbars take up less space than other browsers.

Heh. Fox tried to sue Fox because of The Simpsons
ICv2 News - Fox News Threatened to Sue The Simpsons: "
Fox News Threatened to Sue The Simpsons
Over a Parody Segment

October 24, 2003
During an interview broadcast today on NPR's Fresh Air, Simpsons creator Matt Groening revealed that the Fox News Network had threatened to sue The Simpsons over a parody of the right-leaning news channel. The highly sensitive news organization, which is headed by Roger Ailes, made headlines this summer with an ill-starred lawsuit against humorist Al Franken's book, Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them. The Fox suit was thrown out in court and only succeeded in making Franken's book a bestseller. According to Groening, the Simpsons team refused to cut out the segment, which Groening told Fresh Air he 'really liked,' figuring that Rupert Murdoch wouldn't allow the Fox News cable network to sue the Fox Broadcast Network, which carries The Simpsons. The Fox News Network did back down on its threat, although it has told The Simpsons creators that in the future, cartoon series will not be allowed to include a 'news crawl' along the bottom of the screen, which might 'confuse the viewers.'"

FREE FOOTBALL TICKETS
Tonight's NFL football game between the super awesome best football franchise ever Miami Dolphins and the San Diego Chargers has been moved to Arizona (due to forest fires). Tickets to the Monday Night Football (tm) game are free.

Holmfry skipped work today, like he does almost EVERY Monday. Friggin slacker!
Anyway, it's raining out so he can't go outside and play. Ha! All he can do is stay in ... and play XBOX ... and watch movies ... :(

hAHA I'M AT HOME AND TCUBE IS AT WORK.

Holmfry, I was never in any episode of Star Trek, but I was in an episode of Street Cents. I had like 1 whole minute of screen time too. And we all know that Street Cents is a much more popular show than Star Trek: The Next Generation.

tCUBE IS A BASTARD CAUSE HE PUT A 1 AT THE START OF HIS BLOG NAME SO NOW HIS IS FIRST. DAMN DIRTY APES. ALSO HE'S ON HIS WAY HOME NOW. AND I JUST SPILLED SOME APPLE JUICE FROM MY APPLE ONTO MY PANTS SO NOW I CAN'T LEAVE WORK FOR AWHILE CAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE I PEED MY PANTS. HAHA. BUT MY PEE SMELLS LIKE AN APPLE.

Holmfry, you're going to get us all sued for referring to Gator software as "spyware". They provide "adware" not "spyware".

gATOR IS SPYWARE. DID YOU KNOW? IT IS INSTALLED WITH OTHER SOFTWARE IN A SNEAKY MANNER. THAT = SPYWARE.

dON'T THINK SO, TCUBE. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN STAR TREK? WIL HAS. THEREFORE MILLIONS OF NERDS LOVE HIM. I CAN ONLY NAME ABOUT 3 1/2 NERDS THAT LOVE YOU.

Maybe one day my weblog will be as popular as Wil Wheaton's.

Voltron is one of the better cartoons from when we were kids.
But none of you guys remember the vehicle voltrons!

Check out these funny GI Joe public sevice messages from the 80s.

Hey Landon. Holmfry thought you were Landon from Ottawa and he freaked out!
Oh yeah, I was the Trivia King in Junior High. I was well on my way to Kids Jeopardy.

i HAVE A SECRET TO TELL YOU ALL. VOLTRON IS TCUBE'S FAVORITE SHOW. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN SENDING HIM FREE EPISODES SO THAT HE CAN ENJOY THEM ON DVD OR VHS OR BETA OR AUDIOCASSETTE WITH ACCOMPANYING BOOK, PLEASE EMAIL EITHER MYSELF (CHECK OUT MY BLOG!) OR TCUBE. THANKS. SPANKS. HANKS A MANKS PLANKS.

hELLO I AM HOLMFRY I LIKE CAPITAL LETTERS AND WRITING IN OTHER PEOPLE'S BLOGS. I HAVE A BONER TO PICK THAT I WILL TELL YOU ABOUT. I. HATE. PANTS. I REALLY DO. OK THAT'S ALL.

Check out Holmfry's Blogger. He's currently pissed off at Nintendo for denying the existence of the Zelda's Collector Edition for GameCube.
