Fires and Cops
My girlfriend and I just got a talking to from the State Police after he shined a light on me while I was putting out and abandonned campfire. He lectures us on how to safely shoot off fireworks and how beach bonfires are illegal. To top it all off he told us how he should arrest me because I was nearest to the campfire. I told him that I was just putting the fire out before we left but he...

iPhone Apps To Get
This week I’ve had nothing to do so I’ve been playing around on my iPhone a lot. I got Morocco or Othello/Reversi as some may know it (thanks Aaron for getting me hooked on that), Carrie’s Dots (the dot game), Labrynth and Pegjump (the triangle game with the pegs). My favorite though, by far, is FiveDice. I had the game when I jailbroke my iPod Touch. FiveDice is Yahtzee....
Waitress: What would you like to drink?
John Caparulo: Can I have a Coke?
Waitress: Oh, is Pepsi okay?
John Caparulo: Is Monopoly money okay?
Fear and Loathing
It took me a bit to get into Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. I’m almost done and I loved it. Somehow HST managed to capture everything around him in incredible detail no matter how out of his mind he was. I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to get into HST and have to look into his great work as a jealous observer rather than an absorbed fan. I’m an absorbed fan.
Step Brothers
I just got back from seeing Step Brothers. What a let down. It was awful. Yeah it had some funny “fuck/dick/Will Ferrel” jokes but other than that the plot was ridiculous and far fetched. Holy shit was that a bad movie. I’d rather spend 10 years trudging around Germany looking for Anne Frank over seeing Step Brothers again.
Beach
I’m headed to the beach til August 2nd. I’ll probably post a few quick things from my phone but other than that I’ll be back in a week. Be good.
Todays Theme is Poop
malty: My coworker just sent me this. Being blasted off of your toilet by hail would wake you up faster than your morning coffee.
The Cloud, MobileMe, Apple Tablets and the Future... →
This is pure speculation but it makes sense, MobileMe is the beginning of something big for Apple. If it wasn’t, it would stil be .mac. The iPhone is going to get a bigger brother in the form of an Apple Tablet with tablet features that no one has ever thought of before. Read for yourself.
Cuban's Cubs
There are 3-5 finalists left in the contest for who will one day own the Chicago Cubs. Mark Cuban will win, I’m calling it. He’s exactly what baseball needs: a fiery CEO who isn’t afraid to be outspoken in order to change things for the better. Cuban has got it in the bag, they’re just going through the motions to make it seem like a contest.
Minor League Brawl, 17 Ejected →
There’s a great video of the whole fight once you click the link. Ain’t nothin’ like a good ol’ summer baseball brawl (basebrawl?… nevermind)
I worked a lot last night and then again a bit this morning on redesigning this thing. Tumblr and CSS and my brain aren’t meshing right now. I’m basically typing code like Charles Barkley golfs.
“Disciprin come from within”
– Karate Teacher from South Park The Way I Imagine The Internet
If I had to draw a picture of the way I think about the Internet it would look something like this (I’m going to describe it since I can’t draw to save my life): There’s a giant hanger type place, a huge open room and in that room are dozens upon dozens of tables. At some tables, the people sitting are in suits. At other tables, the people are in sweatpants and dirty, stained...
Watchdontsprainyourvagina: MMA + kids = bad idea Hate to be a prude about this but this seems like a very poor choice by the parents. Scary. The instructor who comes in half way into the report seems like a level-headed guy. The guy in the red is a douche. I was watching this on ESPN when you posted it. I have to agree, putting 3-10 year olds in MMA isn’t smart. The fighters that they had on...
6 of the 10 posts on my Dash right now are about the Rain Plan.
The ProCSS Is Over
I ended The Learning ProCSS, my live-design blog on here. I didn’t really keep it up and to be honest, my skills need to be a lot better before I start trying to teach people how to do things with code. Maybe it’ll return sometime in the future but probably not. I want to focus on redesigning Shut Up Internet once the new code-format drops.

Rhode Island Man Breaks Blood Alcohol World... →
State police say they arrested a man early Tuesday whose blood alcohol level was 0.491 percent Is this a new high, a new low, or both?
To Do
Tomorrow’s To Do List: 1. Get Oil Changed 2. Nothing
Live-action Cowboy Bebop in the works →
danhacker: When it comes to live action films based on animated features my gut reaction is what all of the anti-drug PSA’s have been telling me for years. Just say no. Hollywood: But it’s good in this form let’s try it in another form and it’ll make us MILLIONS! Normal people: No, it won’t. Stop ruining my things.
Eight Million Dollar Slaves
Me: I think they're basically just slaves.
Dad: Hey, I'd be somebody's slave for eight million dollars a year
Me: I think that's more like being an indentured servant.

Basic Cell Phone Etiquette
The following applies to dates as well as formal or important meetings and meals. 1. Do not text. Everyone knows you’re doing it. It’s rude. You’re not fooling anyone.* 2. No one cares about your ringtone in the restaurant, put the thing on vibrate. 3. For the love of God take that damn Bluetooth out of your ear!
Goodbye iPhone
The Voyager can print using Bluetooth. (via VsPedia) Well, look like I’m going back to Verizon. See, I’d really like a phone that can’t open Word documents but can print text and picture messages. It just seems like the future of phones to me. iPhone…psh. Visual Voicemail, what’s that? Stupid App Store; stupid iPhone everything. The Voyager PRINTS! HOW COOL IS THAT!
McCain Facts
mccainfacts: John McCain once went shopping with Jesus. Because he’s so old. To combat topherchris’ Obama Facts, I’ve started McCain Facts. The site that’s up now is just to get people excited. The design should come soon. Go over to McCainFacts.Tumblr.com and submit your own.
Bubble WrApp
There’s a free app in the App Store now called Bubble Wrap and it’s kind of addictive.
Nickelodeon's Marketing Sucks
Whoever works in marketing at Nickelodeon should lose their degrees, be fired, and be forced to watch, non-stop, hour after hour of shitty modern Nicktoons. I say this because they’re all blind. Somehow, they’ve never noticed the demand for Nicktoons on DVD. Remember how Family Guy killed in sales numbers once it was cancelled and put on DVD? Put Hey Arnold, Angry Beavers, Rugrats on...
Headaches With Pictures
Fry: Oooh! I'm having one of those things! A headache with pictures
Leela: An idea?
jennabee: peterwknox: I have yet to see a Bluetooth device worn so as to not make its user look like a douchebag. They are truly the Crocs of the head accessories. UM… seriously. And if you’re so important that you think you need a motherfucking Bluetooth headset, shouldn’t you be important enough to have someone else take your calls for you? Yeah. The LG Decoy - for the people who want to...
“is there a synonym for “thesaurus”?”

Is it sad that my iPhone takes better pictures than my Casio Exilim? iPhone: 2 Megapixels - Pictures look decent Casio: 4 Megapixels - Pictures look like yellow grainy shit
Tumblrs: Where Do You Live? →
One of the most popular topics is how you all live in New York. We get it, New York, yay. icantdeci.de has a simple poll for everyone: New York or not? (The link now goes to the real poll)

If you hit the scroll ball in the middle of the Mighty Mouse real hard, scrolling will work again. Cool! I can scroll down again!

Since everyone on Tumblr besides me lives in New York, here’s some news for ya.
Featuring!
peroty: No ad should ever contain the words “featuring” and “Celeron” next to each other. They’re never next to each other, they have Intel in between. That clears everything up!
