Link of the week.: 360 degree video.

This week I found this neat little video. It was shot with one of those 360 degree cameras,like the ones Google uses to capture their street view shots. One difference, this is a video. You can drag the camera view around as the video plays.

Its pretty neat, check it out.

Sorry is this post is less than stellar, I am super tired and forgot to plan ahead on this week's link. Take it or leave it.

New tumblr!

As you know I LVOE Lady Gaga. So I have decided to make a tumblr dedicated only to pictures of her!! You can find it here!

Link of the week: Truck Nuts

Sorry I didn't update the link of the week last week, I was too busy being lazy.

But all is well now, because we i finally found you a new link. Is your vehicle a badass? If you said yes, then you may not need this product. But if people have a hard time believing that a man drives your vehicle then you need to slap a big ole pair of balls on it.

Let the world know you are a man. Go ahead, strap one of these to your Prius, I dare anyone to make fun of you. If you are lazy like me, and don't want to go to the internet homepage here is the link.

Rango: A Story of Love, Death, and Cactus Juice.

Howdy pardners, I gots sumthin' to tell ya. I went to see Rango tonight with my father and little stepbrother, Jake. Overall the movie was pretty freaking awesome.

If you haven't seen it yet, don't worry, I won't spoil it. (Rango dies*)

It was, however, a mild surprise for me to hear so many cuss words in a children's film. There were no sh**s or fu**s, but to me hearing "hell" and "damn" might be a little strong for children. But other than a few fun words, it was an over all movie.

I was loling through most of the film. It had a certain silly humor to it, one that only Disney has seemed to master. But there is no way I am gonna write a full review of the movie, so I'll leave you with this. Go see this movie, it has everything: high-noon showdowns, guns, whiskey**, and plastic boobs.

*eventually
** Correction, "cactus juice"

Minor change to internet homepage.

Today, you'll notice the Google search has been moved to the top of the page. A "link of the week" clickable icon has taken it's old spot.

The contest is still on for deciding on my new domain name. So far there is a lack of interest. Please spread the word and get your mental gears turning!

Check it out.

Update - March 5, 2011

I haven't been updating as much as I should, and I apologize. I have been swamped with school lately. I have not had the time to update the Internet homepage, because of it. I am also starting some app development for Palm's... excuse me, HP's webOS.

But back to the homepage. Simply put, it isn't at the top of my priority list at the moment. I just can't compete with the Firefox addon "Foxtab" or Chrome's homepage. I am currently looking for someone with Javascript skill to assist in making an interactive version of the page.

I've gotten some wonderful ideas from friends and even some readers of the blog that I didn't realize I had. One of which is the idea of a fully customizable experience.

Foxtab seems to have this experience, but I think it can be improved upon. In Foxtab, you manually set your favorite sites to your homepage, but for some reason, it add additional pages that you frequent on that particular site, which I found annoying. I would also like the ability to have the addon, pick sites for me. (Because I am lazy.)

I also like the idea the themodude suggested, a "top pick" of sorts, one that changes frequently. I could do that, make sure to come back to the blog often for updates.

Finally, I want to announce a little competition. I am planning on moving my the site and/or blog from erronjason's subdomain, to my very own domain! Here's the catch, I have no clue what my domain name should be. That is where you come in. I want you guys to think of the most kick-ass names you can. I will pick the top Five and present them as a poll on the blog. You will then vote for the which one you think is the best and the winner will get their own tribute page on the website. Exciting! This won't be some run of the mill tribute page. This will be a full blown worship service.

So get your mental gears started and submit your ideas to eskridgeryan@gmail.com

Also, there is no deadline at the moment, but I want to buy the domain soon, so get to it!

Update: Follow me on twitter @RyanEskridge to get updates on the go! (If I remember to update.)

What I have learned so far in life.

Joy always leads to heartache and optimism gets you no where in life.

That is all.
