You may remember BigDog from a blog entry I posted a couple of weeks ago, well here's the latest video of it in action...creepily majestic really, haha.
Haha, I think they nailed how the robot walks, and it's just overall funny Also goes on to prove that if ANYTHING is even remotely big on the internet, it WILL be parodied. haha. It was made by some guy Peter Furia who has some links to the blog Gizmodo

WHAT. THE?!?!?!
Uhhhhh O_O...seriously, who would wear that?! Obviously Elridge Cleaver. Haha, that dude was pretty crazy as evidenced by the pants above. Not only that but the dude was a rapist, Black Panther leader, Revolutionary, and Presidential Candidate in 1968. Overall a pretty interesting if not messed up kind of dude, Here's his wikipedia entry if you wanna learn more.

This Just In: 60% of photographers are PIRATES!
Friday, March 28, 2008
So It seems that about 60% of all users that use Photoshop are using it illegally, atleast according to a survey by Epic Edits.
The chart on the right shows what percentage of the surveyed photographers used Photoshop, and the one on the right shows of that nearly 90 percent how many of those used it illegally. Frankly I'm not surprised and I'm sure Adobe isn't; when you're the top of the line it's only normal that there's gonna be a bunch of people out there that want to use you but can't afford to. If anything I'd expect that number to be higher.

Space Shuttle vs. Bird
Thursday, March 27, 2008
Ouch. When will our government do something about the senseless violence and ruthless genocide that the birds of Cape Canaveral have endured for years?! Ha, in all honesty though that's a pretty hardcore way to go, way better than flying into a window that's for sure

see-thru laptops! + spring break update
This really cool picture makes my head hurt, haha
Soooo spring break pretty chill, nothing big just staying up late and sleeping in. It's pretty cool how it took less than a week to break the conditioning I had; by tuesday I was already waking up at 10 AM and going to sleep at 1 AM. I still need to clean my room and will probably do that later on tonight and tomorrow, on the plus side I did buy this cool little shelf thing to hold my DVDs.Note the trail mix on the adjacent shelf, and the two Dreamcasts on the floor...they were on the floor because I was cleaning them, ha. Also pay no attention to the sorting of the movies or lack thereof, because there is! They're by genres and by a little factor which I call the "RNMWC" or Rod Nunez Movie Watchability Constant" if anyone has an interest in the process behind calculating this constant please go ahead and contact me.
Anyway, this spring break has also been good when it comes to video games. For the first time in a looooong time I've been able to play for a bit, mostly Smash Bros which is pretty cool for the most part. I have a bit of a problem with subspace emissary, for one why? why do I need to do this? It seems like Sora was just trying to make this game more than what it is, it's a cool multiplayer centric chaotic brawler....and that's why it's big, don't do anymore with it. Still the little movies between chapters are pretty cool makes it almost worthwhile. So yeah, I've also been playing Patapon which is pretty simple and not as addicting as it was made out to be by some people but the little Patapon chants do get stuck in your head. On the DS front Advance Wars: Days of Ruin has been taking up most of my time, I'm stuck in one of the missions so screw it, I set it aside for a bit.
That's it for the mid spring break report, I'll be back soon I'm working on some more funny stuff for the blog, also check out the thingy on the right which will show you what I'm checking out on Google Reader....alright then see ya around.

NFL Prospect Haruki Nakamura
HT: 5’10.2” WT: 203-pounds Vert: 34.5” Broad Jump: 10’ Bench Reps: 20
Haruki Nakamura was a safety from the University of Cincinnati and as you can see from the video above he's a pretty good tackler and coverage guy, and yes he is Japanese which is pretty crazy. Here's his stats from the Cincinnati Pro Day:
I'm not really sure what his 40 time is, but he looks fast enough, plus when a guy hits like that it's not that big of a deal, ha.

BigDog...future AT-AT?
Tuesday, March 18, 2008
Wow, this is some Quadraped that Boston Dynamics is working on with funding from DARPA....seriously, how freaky is this thing? It looks so alive. The part that freaks me out the most is seeing it on ice, reminded me of bambi. Also when they kick it and it doesn't fall down?! CRAZY. This thing can carry 340 lbs and I'm pretty sure it will be carrying some weapons...but more importantly, it could carry me! Beats the crap out of a horse anyday.
