I think that this is a post that a lot of bloggers have at one point or another - the one where you go through the logs and find some interesting keywords. Here goes

dilana robicheaux and dilana nude uncensored pool - Rockstar Supernova lives on with a couple of searches related to Dilana the runner-up and her infamous leap into the pool on a dare

Interestingly enough, I was watching a show about the upcoming V8 Supercar season, and music from their album appeared in a couple of places during the show; I was paying attention to that and wound up having to go back to actually pay attention to what the people were saying.

Another search term that appeared recently is nina visser bott, which appeared in my post about the literary qualities of spam.

Someone else searched for something that I’d be somewhat interested in watching just for the curiousity - runaway truck ramp video.

Lastly, there was someone who has good taste with simple recipes and searched for jamie oliver recipe chicken flour water bake.

I was browsing through Wikipedia tonight when I came upon an article about ATSC Tuners (for those of y’all in Europe or Australia, it’s our version of the digital tuner). One thing that was mentioned was a Federal regulation that stipulates the following -

(iv) Other video devices (videocassette recorders (VCRs), digital video recorders such as hard drive and DVD recorders, etc.) that receive television signals—100% of all such units must include DTV tuners effective March 1, 2007.

In other words, after next Thursday, all DVD recorders must be able to pick up digital signals over the air. That explains why the local Wal-Mart was selling off a whole stack of DVD recorders for dirt-cheap (right around $50); they were clearing stock for the new recorders that accept digital signals.

So, if you’re looking to buy a DVD recorder (or even VCR), make sure you wait for a bit - you’ll be able to take advantage of recording new stations and even the HD feeds of regular channels (even though it will still be in standard quality, you’ll still get the widescreen picture - and let me tell you, if you’ve seen sports in widescreen, you will never want to go back; you’ll even wonder why they don’t show the widescreen version on the analogue signal).

If gmail is now open to all and sundry - why do they still have invites available? A possible reason for that is maybe to distinguish the “legacy” users from the new users? That doesn’t make any sense either since the users who have used gmail for a couple of years now and want a new account will just open one, right?

Apparently, I might be in for a case of salmonella, thanks to peanut butter. Personally, I don’t think that there should be any concern, so I’m gonna keep consuming it (but I’ll still send in for my refund ;)). And if I get sick, I know where to put it.

If you want more information about the recall (and if you’re interested, I have the “Great Value” chunky peanut butter with the 2111 sort code), you can read this AP story.

I have a lot of equipment that is HP - my laptop is an HP, the first CD-RW drive I got was an HP, and I had used HP printers for close to 10 years. However, when I got my computer two years ago, it came with a Canon Pixma IP1500 printer. At first, I was a bit disappointed with the fact that it was essentially a low-end printer. However, there is a great benefit.

Saving tons of money on cartridges. I don’t do a lot of printing, but of course, there are times that is necessary to do it. And eventually it runs out of ink (or it will tell me that the ink is low). Now with the HP printers, the ink cartridges were, on average, $30 each for black or color. With the Canon, it’s $7 for the black and $17 for the color.

Of course, it’s probably a good thing that we don’t buy it in a gallon (or even for that matter, litre) size - according to a column in “Adorama”, a gallon of magenta ink for a HP printer comes out to $10,788. Of cousre you have to do 4 cartridges since having a Magenta would indicate that the printer requires a Cyan, Yellow and Black cartridge, you’re out for $43,152 for a gallon of each. Well, at least you’ll be able to print for just about ever.

I guess it’s another reason why we shouldn’t complain about gas hitting $2.35 per gallon (that’s 62¢ or so per liter, including taxes). Then again, prices of gas around the world should be reason enough to not complain…
