I haven't had the chance to make it to the Texas State Fair yet this year, but my brother did. He sent me a shot of this 2009 Camaro called "bumblebee" that starred in the movie Transformers. I'd trade my GTO in for one of these when they come out, but they will probably be way overpriced.  I guess I'll just have to settle for a Vette.

I ended up having to get a new 360 Elite (79FL) because my DVD drive on my old unit (79FK) crapped out. It wouldn't read any type of media: DVDs, Games, Backups, etc.  I just took apart my new 360 today and installed my NME 1.2 chip into it, but I can't get it to work.

I was trying to add my grandparent's e-mail to my Gmail contact list, but gmail kept telling me "Please make sure the email address you entered is valid."  I figured it probably wouldn't import it because they were using something of a non-standard address.

The culprit here happens to be the ampersand sign.  I realized that gmail also has a contacts import option which allows you to import contacts from a CSV file. A CSV file is essentially just a text file with values separated by commas. It essentially allows you to put tabular data into a non-proprietary format.

Editors Note: There is not supposed to be a space after the ampersand, but for some reason my blog software keeps adding it.

A coworker just sent me a link to this article about a girl getting kicked off a flight for wearing clothes that were too skimpy. This just adds to the list of reasons why I don't like Southwest.  If you want to read more about why I don't like them, check out the side story from this old article I wrote. Here's the link to the article on MSNBC's site:

I thought the outfit was kind of hot.  I wouldn't have said "you can't get on the plane because your clothes are too skimpy" but I probably would have said "you can't get on this flight because your face is beat." That girl looks like she just walked off the football field after a rough tackle.
