The Craptank

The 4-port wireless USB hub from Belkin is a steaming pile of crap. Sure the idea of being able to put a USB hub virtually anywhere you want and have it work wirelessly is an awesome concept. Too bad the product doesn’t actually work anything like that.

Belkin advertises that you can get up to 30’ of range out of this thing which is actually not bad at all. Not bad until you read the fine print that you’ll only get the 30’ if the transmitter and receiver are in the same room. Ok, ok, so any rational person will realize that of course you’re going to lose some signal strength due to any kind of obstruction. The signal degradation due to an interior wall in a house shouldn’t be that bad right? Wrong, wrong, complete horse shit wrong. The damn thing will barely pick up a signal through an interior wall at 2’. Try moving 5’ away and the signal is gone completely.

When every other wireless device in my possession works perfectly across multiple rooms without flaw, the Belkin fails to deliver. What fucking good is wireless if you can’t even move into the next room without losing signal? Isn’t the whole point of having a wireless device the fact that you can move about untethered? Yeah, just be sure you don’t actually do anything completely crazy like leaving the room.

Circa 2000, there was a network on the air that went by the name of TechTV. For those not in the know and unable to piece it together, it was basically a network dedicated to the nerd/geek culture. AKA, Computer Shit. It started to get popular to the point where it was bought out by Comcast. Of course, Comcast, doing what they do best, essentially ruined the network. They merged it with their piece of shit G4 network and turned it into another run-of-the-mill mainstream crapfest that centered around video game reviews. Surprise Surprise, nobody gives a rats ass.

Short story shorter, most of the people involved with the original TechTV network realize how everything was turning sour and either quit or end up getting their walkin' papers.

Along comes Revision3, a site created by, you guessed it - the former TechTV people. Consider it almost something along the lines of youtube, but with professionally developed content in lieu of retards on webcams lip-synching songs from My Chemical Romance. Instead, there are actually some shows/clips/etc worth watching...

Which brings me to my reason for crafting up this turd: PixelPerfect. PixelPerfect is a show that is dedicated to Photoshop. Each episode is essentially a short video tutorial showing how to create certain effects, or explaining how to use a set of tools and filters. Really cool if you've ever wanted to learn how to use photoshop, or learn new techniques... Even cooler since it's totally free!

I didn't photoshop this up, but it was going around the office, and I found it highly amusing. Enjoy.

Man the internet is soo kewl ;)
Hey remember them real men of genius things budweiser used to make? Man whatever happened to them?
I found this cool site called youtube.com and theres like... all of them there, its great! i now dont have to wait till my tv shows me commercials, i can now do it 24 - se7en.

I also found these thing called "roms" where you can play like games from any console. I've been hitting up the this old apple rom and playing the original oregon trail! man i havent played that since like 3rd grade.

Ugh, theres so much i want to talk about right now, but ill save it for later in future installments, i want to get in stuff that ranges from like cars to everquest... err from apples to zebras.

In the meantime heres a youtube of my brother asking me for my computer password.

If there's one person that seriously deserves to be paralyzed from the neck down and spend the rest of their life shitting into a plastic bag, it has to be Tucker Max.

If you haven't heard of this douche-nozzle yet, here's a quick synopsis: Only-child mama's boy prick graduates from some boarding school in Jersey and subsequently goes to college on mommy & daddy's dime, where he majors in Economics. He then proceeds to spend his time like most college kids who aspire only to claw their way into a middle management career: Going to parties, getting plastered, doing stupid shit, banging sluts, et cetera.

Sure, most everyone else that went to college spent a good amount of their time doing some or all of the above. So what's the big fuckin' deal you ask? The difference is that this shitweasel decides that he is so special and his stories are so great that he has to write a book about it, under the false pretense that he belongs to some kind of "alpha-male" genre. It would be more adequate to say that at best he's trying to be another Maddox, except that his material is weak, un-interesting, and un-funny.

Well wait a minute... If he was always shit-faced how in the hell could he possibly remember all of those "crazy" college stories? The mediocre tard carried around a voice recorder every time he went out to record whenever he said something funny or something amusing happened. Pathetic. I wonder if he ever stopped in the middle of boning a skank to pull out his voice recorder and remind himself of the time he got herpes.

Nobody gives a shit! Most of us have tons of great college stories. The difference is that we didn't walk around with a voice recorder lodged up our rectum in order to record and subsequently publish every dumb-ass moment. No matter what mommy and daddy say, you are not special!
