Hey everyone… I need some more graphics at the bottom of the page near the dumpster. You know, some graffiti, some trash… whatever you think should go down there. That door sucks, too. If you would like to contribute some graphics, in any file format, I will gladly put them up on the bottom of the page! So send ‘em over to r3tr0@r3tr0.net or r3tr0blog@gmail.com and I’ll put them up as quick as I can.

Check out this bike carousel someone made! Too bad it really can’t go anywhere.

Paris Hilton has a new video out, even though it was left behind in her storage locker and sold into auction when she failed to pay the bill. I’ve seen all the videos already, and they’re not that great… but in one of them she’s allegedly got about a kilo of coke on some guy’s chest. Whatever floats yer boat.

Ahh, sausages. The sole reason I’ll never become a vegetarian. There’s so many to choose from, though! Here’s a guide to many varieties of stuffed intestines.

This link’s for Apple users who use the Alt+Tab program switching method (even though it’s command-tab, in truth) - a program called Witch that will actually pull up minimized programs from the dock, which OSX does not currently do. It’s like they read my mind!!!

The other day a coworker of mine told us all about this tale, so some of you may have already heard it. A woman and her husband were attacked by a mountain lion, and the wife attempted to stab the thing in its EYE. Totally hardcore. They both lived.

A man known as “The Fish Man” is going to swim the length of the Amazon river. Clearly, he’s out of his mind. Pretty much everything horrible that lives in water, aside from great white sharks, are in the Amazon. That’s including the toothpick fish that swims up your urethra, piranhas, cayman, electric eels… you name it. Good luck, buddy. That’s my worst freakin’ nightmare.

If you’ve been wondering what scientists are telling us to eat these days, here’s a rather lengthy article on eating healthy.

Ricky Gervais talks with Larry David. And it’s funny. I guess.

Somebody’s wicked-cool basement Mac collection.

This is why you don’t play with fireworks in your kitchen. Damn! I didn’t expect it to do that much damage!

As you can see, I’ve been sitting here all day working on this thing. It’s finally ready!
Here’s the thing: if you browse around, you’re sure to find pages that aren’t formatted properly, and perhaps things sticking out in ways they’re not supposed to. When you build a custom theme for WordPress, you have to set all the variables for these things (font size, height, style, etc.) and I am still figuring out what’s missing. Soon, all of it will be neat and tidy.

I think it’s only fitting I share a few things I found today to get the ball rolling.

Ray Harryhausen is the dude who made all that awesome stop-animation back in the day. You know, dinosaurs and the like. Here’s a tribute page for him that’s pretty cool.

What would Manhattan look like if the icecaps melted? This.

Ok, I need to see if this is working right. Also, if you contributed to the blog in the past, then you should write me an email so I can make you an account on here. It’s only slightly different than blogger.

Hey, hey hey, hey. Well, I’m not all the way out of my financial jail just yet, but very soon I will be. I’m going to get a hosting plan for r3tr0.net, which means y’all could have email addresses ending in r3tr0.net if you wanted… amongst other things. I know I can still post on here, but at some point during the process of downloading my past posts, the template here became corrupted. Now you’ll notice that there are no paragraph seperations, and I’m not sure why. Oh well… here’s what I wanted to show you today: A CNNN exclusive. (And yet we scratch our heads on a daily basis saying to ourselves “People can’t be THAT stupid..”)

The 10 Most Expensive Books of 2006. Thought the bookstore owners may want to see this, just in case someone brings in the big daddy - $5.1 mil.

Okay, little holdup here on the new blog. I was in a little bit of financial distress over the weekend, so I couldn’t purchase a hosting plan. Soon I will be back in business, and the blog shall change.

Until then:

Real Samurai saves police in the UK. Kick ass! He escaped before the police could ID him, so basically he’s a super hero.

Stay tuned, people!

Ok guys, big news. This WordPress thing came together faster than I thought! I’ve been sitting here fiddling with PHP and CSS for the better part of the day, and I’ve almost completely incorporated my new layout into their “engine”. Translation: expect the new blog in the next couple of days.

Oh, and get this, you can import Blogger posts into it! All my archives will be accessible the same way they are now. I’m still trying to get the link layout to look just right.

The ONLY thing that’s wrong is that there’s a 10 pixel gap at the bottom of the page… for no reason. It is these kinds of problems that make web coding a pain in the ass!

Hey everyone. I know, I know… it’s been too long. I just want to assure all my readers that I fully intend to return to posting every weekday. This whole Blogger Beta upgrade has put the blog into a tailspin, and I’m unsure if they can ever fix it, which is troubling to say the least.

Actually, what I should do is ask my beloved readers if it would matter to them if they could not access my old posts. I am thinking at this point that I will start the blog anew, using WordPress, and host it on the r3tr0.net domain exclusively. However, thus far I’ve yet to come across a tool that would allow me to port over my old blogger posts and archive them.

So, let me ask you, do you demand access to the old posts? Could I just put a link up saying “blog archive” and redirect you to the old blogger site? Please leave your responses in the comments section.

In the meantime, I’m whipping up a new design and trying to simultaneously create a new web portfolio. I hope everyone will hang tight and wait for r3tr0 to return! It shan’t be long now.
