OhGizmo Contest!!! Thousands of $$$$ worth of Swag!!!

Well I came back to this doomed blog of mine from over a year ago to proclaim a site that I idolize and tryed to base this and my other site (Distractech.com) after. Well both sites failed miserably but now OhGizmo...my daily read...and once helpful aid in linking to my failed site is giving away a bunch of stuff. Here's quote on all they're doing:

The idea? We’re not going to dole the stuff out, bit by bit. No, no, that would suck. We’re going to make one huge bundle, and one lucky winner will take home the loot. Everything. We got products from Neuros (again), Tokyoflash, Wicked Lasers, Vaja, Tom Bihn, Ice Jacket and Fossil.

So go check it out NOW!!!!!!

I'm done for now....

Well this site was in itself just a test. I wanted to see what it was like to try to launch and promote a site as well as see what would happen. For now I'm calling it quits......I'm turning my full attention towards the main blog that I write for and will retire this for now. Without enough returning viewers like I had wished for and the difficulties of hosting under blogsopt I have decided to finish off this site for the time being. If you so wish that I continue with this then go ahead and drop a comment and I will start again but for now I'm gonna sit back until my next project. In a couple of months I plan on launching a site under its very own domain and from there pursue running my own blog. But until then I shall stand down and start getting to work on the new site if so I choose to. ---Mr. Distrac

New iPod's and More

Apple let loose a lot of new stuff today. First was there Motorola itunes compatible phone which they've been rumoring for a while. But then there was the iPod nano which totally shocked and suprised me. For the itunes phone though you have space for 100 songs and there's: headphones that are also a headset, stereo speakers, regular phone capabilities, and of course the ability to buy and download songs on it. It is currently under Cingular in the USA for $249. The iPod nano is a sleek little player with a scroll wheel, color screen, 14 hour battery life and comes in with either 2 gb ($199) or 4 gb ($249). On top of all this itunes 5 is now out as well. These are some cool new products out by Apple that are sure to sell and on another note the iPod mini has disappeared from stores apparently......weird? itunes phone iPod nano Via Gadgetmadness

Whoo Hoo I'm #1 on Yahoo search.....kinda

Well I just realized that Yahoo's search engine has me as the number 1 result for the search word "Distrac". For you it may be nothing but for me it's progress. My newly hatched site now shows up on both MSN and Yahoo search. Unfortunately, Google has left me out.....even though blogspot is a google run site (weird isn't it). Hey i'm almost there so google will eventually discover me. Just give it time. I'm #1 on Yahoo....for now at least I'm a happy fello!

Wow...how'd he manage that?

I don't know how the driver managed to put his car into such a weird position overhanging a cliff. But they did. I don't know how this happened or why but my guess is they hit that pole and flipped around to catch the wires.....lucky. Weird Crash

It's a fun little game where you've got a helicopter and 200 stick guys to drop on the pillows and truck driving by on the ground. However there is awesome gore to it with missiles, spikes, and other choppers that will dismember your stick guys. That and the normal plummet to death make it funner to lose then actually win. Go check it out, it's sure to occupy you for 5 minutes. a new obstacle comes out everytime you successfully land 10 guys on the pillows. Fun Parachute Game

Image Overlay's of New Orleans for Google Earth

Google Earth now has KMZ file availble that will upload an overlay of New Orleans. The catastrophic flooding and damage can now be viewed by everyone around the world. It's amazing at the size of the area obliterated by water. Above is a quick split shot of a neighberhood half before, half after. My heart goes out to all those affected by the tradgic events that occured as a result of Hurricane Katrina.

Updates delayed

I'm sorry to inform you that my updates will be later in the day around 3 o'clock. I will try my best to update the site as soon as possible but my schedule is a bit crunched for the next week. This is only TEMPORARY so no need to worry everything will be back to normal with early updates and more fun. -----Mr. Distrac < i know that's a cheesy name but hey whatever

Kanye West makes a Fool of Himself

In case any of you missed Kanye West making a fool out of himself during NBC's Hurricane Katrina Fundraiser, here it is. As one person said "That was like watching a gradeschooler give a report based on things he heard from is ignorant father or something." Well I found it to be pretty pathetic and gave me all the more reason not to like this guy. I felt bad for Mike Myers who had to stand next to him and endure the whole stressful expierience. Go check it out if you haven't seen it. Kanye West Sucks

The Turd Twister.....WTF?

This is just wrong! In fact it's probably beyond wrong. I mean who would in their right mind come out with something called the Turd Twister? It's just disgusting, I can't even believe I came across this on my web browsing but unfortunately did. Now...I just find it hilariously stupid and gross and thought I'd share it with you so you can wonder what has become of mankind. So I'll actually tell you what it is. You know how chefs have the frosting for cakes in the little tubes and put the flower piece on the end so when they squeeze out the frosting it comes out in the shape of a flower or something else......well same basic concept except with your feces. And that cap....goes were the sun don't shine. There's also some safe-t-floss for retracting a lost Trud Twister. EH! By the way it's a Gag gift......i just found that out so not even sure if its usable....but i bet someone will try. Turd Twister

Thing Thing....if you're Bored?

Is There Hope for Gas Prices?

I'm sure most of you out there are growing very tired of the rising gas prices that hount our lives. However there is a possibility that this in the coming years may no longer have to worry us. Shell the gas station company and etc. has been developing a new way to get gas recently. They have figured out how to take oil shale and convert it into gas through below the surface heating until hydrocarbons burn off. When all is said and done you get high grade oil that can eventually make its way into your car. Currently it's still under development but its current productivity rate is for every 1 unit of energy spent they get 10 units of energy back. Shell claim that the process is commercially feasible and with approximately 1 trillion barrels of this in the US could in fact sever our OPEC dependance and give us back our very cheap gas prices. At least we all Hope. Shell's ingenious approach to oil shale is pretty slick

The World's Most Expensive Donut

You have 2 more days to bid on this nicely glazed donut and last timeI checked it was 5,800 bucks. But why so expensive you ask? Well it's a donut from some radio personalities in Texas that I've never heard of....but thats not teh point. All proceds from the auctioning of this donut will go to the Hurricane Katrina relief fund. On top of that shipping is free too so go bid! It was once 20,000 dollars but ebay made them relist it cause it wasn't under "charity". byt the way i finally got around to linking the images so when you click on them they go to the article.....so here on in just click on the images!

Man Drives Away with 50 Grand on Car Roof

I'm going to file this under "Stupid" even though it's probably beyond that. Basically what happened is a 19 year old man was given 50,000 dollars from his father to "start a new life". So what does he do with this money that was apparently given to him in 100 dollar bills (that's pretty stupid too)? He leaves it on his car roof and proceeds to drive away.....I'm dumbfounded at his level of stupidity it really amazes me. So people later notice massive amounts of cars stopping to catch 100 dollar bills on the road (oh how I wish I was there) and one lucky couple snagged 31,000 dollars of it in cold hard cash. Being "good Samaritans" they hand it over to the police. So the man ends up with only 31,000 because two people were generous. I bet they found more than that....liers.....

Golden Lego Bricks?

LEGO recently released, for it's 50th anniversary, golden bricks. To me a long time LEGO fan (when i was younger....not now) I was somewhat interested in them and the fact was that they made Gold LEGO Bricks, which is cool ....Right? Wrong! Of course once you scroll down and read the tiny print it says "Limit one bag of 5 free gold-colored bricks per order of $50 or more". Gold-colored as in they painted them gold. Wow so when I spend 50 bucks on legos i get 5 gold colored ones that are probably worth 20 cents. Nice Try Though. Gold Lego Bricks Via OhGizmo

Stunt Planes Video

This is an incredible video of some quick stunt planes doing a show somewhere. It's amazing to see how manuverable these planes really are. If you want to see some Jets doing stunts you have to see The Blue Angels. I've seen them in person and was left in awe at the power and strength of the F-18 's and their pilots. that's enough plane posts for now, I promise Stunt Plane Video it's 6:25 long...hit the download button and be patient Blue Angel's at mikedavidson's blog

Fun Airplane FireFighting Game

This is a fun but hard game in which you fly the firefighting plane scoop up some water then dump it on a forest fire to put it out. The directions are in French so you can't read the instructions but here's what I figured out for the controls: left arrow is slow down, right arrow speed up, down arrow to pull up, up arrow to go down, and space bar to dump water. It's tricky though you have to lower your speed so the speed dial is in the blue while gently skidding your plane on the water. Then you have to pull up and dump it on the forest fire. I have only been able to scoop up water and miss the water. It gets frustrating.

Catsup Crapper

This is "The Catsup Crapper" designed and built by none other than 3 students from MIT. Why would three bright students at such a profound university spend time developing something like this is beyond me. But none the less you have to admit it's somewhat amusing. I for one wouldn't mind driving this around the kitchen table to each cheeseburger testing my accuracy. Via Engadget The Casup Crapper
