I was traveling South on the 405 freeway when I passed Nordhoff St when a silver Acura Integra passed by me in the carpool lane. Just at the rear of the car passed me the bumper somehow disconnected from the car which sent the car into a fish tail. I had about 100 feet, where I slammed on my brakes and the Acura veered right spinning into 180° facing oncoming traffic, he then spun 5 lanes to the right shoulder somehow avoiding the somewhat heavy traffic and flipped off the rail over onto the on ramp of Nordhoff St. Damn! I think I almost died, hopefully they driver and passenger are OK.

Socal Earthquake
So I am sure that every one in southern California felt the quake, but I was totally passed out sleeping at 11:42am. Waking up to my bed shaking and my girlfriend asking “whats going on”. I replied it was our four pound chihuahua “Keiki”, in which she mumbled back “Keiki, stop it”.
That was pure comedy. But really, 5.4 Quake! I felt it all the way down by the beach.
The right LCD
I recently (today) moved some of my furniture around my bedroom, and added a new “five” drawer. The whole thing stuffed the room and I had to move everything around. But the only way I could get it to work was to move my bed under the window and facing the double swing closet doors. 
So I no longer see my Insignia 26″ LCD tv. So I think it is time to upgrade to the newer LCD’s that are mountable (because mine was the first generation from 5 years back). Now I have to go on the search for the right size tv to fit in my small wall space above the closet doors to the ceiling.
I will let you know what pans out..
Tonights LA Film Festival
I totally wish that I wasn’t going to work a party bus tonight, because Planet of the Apes is playing at the LA Film Festival for FREE tonight. It will be playing outside on a large projection and screen on Broxton Ave.
Okay, if you have never seen the original movie than I suggest you go here and purchase the master piece starring legendary, late Charlton Heston (1923–2008).
How to pay tribute to Charlton Heston, whose career strode from the biblical past of The Ten Commandments to the nightmare future of Soylent Green? In many ways the role as a stranded astronaut in Planet of the Apes was the perfect one for Heston, in that it played off both the steel-jawed authority that he radiated with ease, as well as the tormented sensitivity that often lurked untapped underneath.
It can be difficult to recall the original Apes movie from underneath the sequels, remakes, and TV adaptations, but watched with fresh eyes, it is a head-spinning parable on society-building and prejudice, built around the concept of astronauts who somehow land on a planet where apes rule and men are considered lowly beasts. A cracking sci-fi action pic that has become a cultural touchstone—and still boasts one of the best movie endings ever—Planet of the Apes lives on.

Americas Best Dance Crew Season 2
Well apparently the show aired last Thursday the 12th of June, but MTV was promoting the season premier as this Thursday the 19th. And although yesterdays show was the premier there was stuff missing you didn’t know unless you watched the week before, whats up with that MTV?
But anyway, I was a huge fan of the Jabawakeez from the start of the first season, and I think I already know who is going to be the big dance crew of this season. Are you ready for it? Okay, I think the number one crew for season 2 will be “Super Cr3w”.
So I guess I will be watching this season, will you? I wonder if I am going to be write about this one?
Only time will tell…
Favicon
I am currently escaping the heat in Santa Monica. So I headed towards warmer weather in the valley, but, my parents house has insulated walls and a huge A/C unit, not to mention the pool!
But besides the warm weather I was just messing around with my site, and noticed that my favicon had disappeared. I think when I updated the site in April I must have forgot to input the code which looks like this: and my icon image into the new files and directory.
But no fear, I even did a new design which you can see above blown up, and at the top of the page… Oh, and if you don’t see it, than I suggest that you update your browser to more compliant Firefox, or even IE7. You can even be daring and go IE8 Beta!
You can easily convert a .gif .jpg or .png file into a .ico file as long as it adheres to the bi-cubic 16×16 pixel rule.
You can also head to favicon.cc and use the easy image drawer and export your .ico file.
For some reason my favicon is not showing up, I’m not sure of what the problem is. But besides that, I changed the icon to an animated
.gif. Hopefully I’ll get it working today.Be efficient take no left turns
Well, UPS is using a “package flow” software program to pre-plot delivery sequences for its 95,000 vehicles. It may sound like over thinking, but the results are staggering: Joel Lovell reports that UPS lopped off some 28.5 million miles from its delivery routes last year thanks to the software, saving 3 million gallons of fuel and cutting carbon dioxide emissions by close to 69 million pounds. We have to wonder: If such a strategy can yield this kind of savings for UPS, what can it do for the average person? How much fuel, time, and sanity might we save in a year of driving if we pre-planned errand-running to minimize (or even eliminate) left-hand turns?
