5 Things That Drive Me Crazy

BenQ — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 17:40:47 +0000

In an effort to appear even more maniacally egotistical, driven by the need to share my opinions to the masses at large who – through their own ignorance, or perhaps the fact they too have their own lives and opinions happening concurrent to mine – I would like to share with, dear reader, my personal list of the 5 things that drive me the most crazy.

1. People who drive too slow. I mean really people, just get off the highway. You’re ruining my life with this.

2. Paying for Wi Fi access at a coffee shop. Really? REALLY? I need to pay you MORE money after buying a $3 cup of coffee to get online? You’ve got to be kidding. What year do you think this is? 2006???

3. Insanely messy closets. You’ve got to organize your closet. It’s not hard. 10 years can do it, so can you. Don’t take me back to your apartment and let me see that junk. Spend 5 minutes at the Closet Organizers Guide and learn everything you need to know.

4. Tech Support. Both on the receiving and giving end. Man oh man, this is worse than death.

5. People who stand in line at FedEx and at the same time are packaging up their stuff to mail. Is it really so hard to do this before coming to the FedEx shop? Must you stand in line with 5 boxes, papers everywhere, scissors, tape, boxes, and your papers, compiling it all in front of everyone while at the same time holding your place in line? Not cool.

Transformers 2 Toys – Your Top Choices

whaleadmin — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 11:47:34 +0000

The most respected robots in the huge Transformers 2 toys line are the Deluxe type and the Human Alliance Bumblebee.

The Deluxe figures offer middle sized and priced Transformers that are well built and detail wise true to their film counterparts. There are over 15 transformation moves to go through so you will have quite a challenge. There are also 14 articulated joints giving the figures precise poseability. The addition of a missile add-on is a bonus.

The Human Alliance Bumblebee and Sam combo is one of the tallest sets, with the robot towering at 33cm tall. There is also the added extra of a pocket-sized Sam figure to increase the playability to be found with this toy. It is elaborately detailed, not just in appearance but also in features as it comes with a cannon, combat mask and entire motorcar interior. It is a bit difficult to transform but both the robot and vehicle forms are sensational.

Craft Paper for paper craft

whaleadmin — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 22:27:36 +0000

All you will need is paper, a scissors, paint and adhesive plus basic Origami skills. Origami is the art of paper folding. Paper (from the Greek word papyrus) is a versatile medium for making three dimensional objects like paper airplanes and footballs. The great thing about paper is that it can be used again and again. Paper can be cut into patterns, squares, circles, ovals and triangles and from these simple shapes (with a bit of folding) many wondrous and imaginative things can be created. Children have great fun tearing and shredding paper and it is safe for them to play with and it helps them to improve their hand coordination. Paper chains are popular at Christmas time and are simple to make. Strips of paper or craft paper (even newsprint will do) are colored and stuck together in rings with each ring interlinked to the next ring. Silhouettes cut from paper can cast shadows onto the wall. Holes can be cut through papers and they can then be threaded together. Specialized graded craft paper can be purchased in stores but there is no need to go to this expense as paper is plentiful.
