I have a different source of torrent sites for when I search for animes, some of them specifically have sites where the groups release, and some times you can find these animes at these sites which are a database of torrents.
Thanks to Frankom for pointing this out to me as well, it seems that NBK is specifically blocking me! I have no idea how they have reached the conclusion of blocking my Blog, but I find it funny they have made that much effort to block one single Blog. I don’t know others maybe blocked as well. At this point I don’t know how many more will start blocking me and if they will unblock. I am curious to the reason why they are blocking me.
My friend let me know that Commercial Bank of Kuwait is blocking my blog and 248am which I find to be hilarious. I have no idea why they would block us, but I’m surprised that we have reached the point that banks are selectively blocking blogs. Well there is nothing that I or anyone else can do about this, but this but still pretty funny.
Artist Joe Alterio will make a custom drawn picture of a monster or robot for $25 or both for $40, they are 6 inches by 6 inches. Joe is making this effort to raise money for the San Francisco AIDS Foundation and Pangea Foundation which helps fight AIDS across the globe. Whats great is for your donation your getting a customized piece of art, or two pieces of art. The way Joe makes the custom piece of art is that you have to mention three words for him to go with such as “Green, tentacle, airplane”. I think its a great idea and I would like to see more of his original sketches!

I have to say that I really like this picture, its the picture of street performer. For some reason this guy reminds me of a modern day ninja with his look. He will pull out the sword and start swinging, with that look he has his eyes on a target!

Torrent Spy is one of the largest torrent search engines online, and I think a lot of people use it. What is driving me nuts now is that Qualitynet has decided to block it as it blocks Torrentz and some other Bit Torrent sites. This is getting rediculous, this isn’t a mistake and I think everyone should shoot them an email giving them an opinion of what they are doing.
From what I have heard since a lot of people download from torrents that might use protocols and equipment to strangle the downloads of torrents only and leave the rest of your surfing alone. This is getting very real, and they might stop torrent usage since it is eating up their bandwidth and it seems they might not be making enough profit since we are using the bandwidth we are being charged for, and we are being charge a huge amount. I hope everyone spreads the word and shoots them an email.

I remember back in the day when I had a the Tivo Series 1 and Tivo Series 2. I modified my Tivo series one to include a 200 GB hard drive from weaknees.com and I also modified my Tivo Series 2 after a year of having it by buying the modification kit from Weaknees again. I also bought a new ready modified Tivo Series two from weaknees after selling my Tivo Series 1. The modified one worked right out of the box better then the original with more capacity. I have to say that if anyone wants to modifiy there tivo or buy a readily modified tivo then this is the tivo to get. Its a fantastic store and great service, I love dealing with companies like these and they make the Tivo more enjoyable to have.

This is a fantastic anouncement! I am really happy since Amazon has the financial leverage to get companies to join them, all the music is going to be DRM-Free! Which is fantastic, I hope more DRM-Free websites pop up, and I think they will have a few music labels to start with but I’m hoping for more. Amazon will be challenging Apple Itunes in this domain.

When I first started reading blogs I would just save all the tabs I would have open while reading the blogs in Firefox, and it drove me nuts when it crashed but I was happy I had saved the tabs and I would load it everytime to check if there was anything new!
After a little while I stumbled onto Bloglines and it really helped organize what I was reading but sometimes it wouldn’t update saying that a website is unreachable but it would work after a bit. A few months after I started using Bloglines, GoogleReader started working and I tested both of them out for the past three months.
I usually like to support the little guy, but Google did such an amazing job with the functionality of Google Reader.
What I liked:
- You can add a new bog very simply up top.
- It refreshes constantly, and you can manually refresh all the feeds, the moment a post is made Google Reader doesnt’ miss it.
- Both blog readers provide post previews, but when looking a preview on Google Reader it shows the text, pictures, and video, but with Bloglines it only shows you the text. Also the previews on Google Reader load faster then Bloglines even though the Bloglines preview is only text.
- Google Reader has a lot of tools for all the posts, more then Bloglines.
Overall I really enjoyed using both, but Google Reader won me over right away, even after all the testing and waiting for it to make a mistake.
I have to say I am one person that loves Google Maps, while I lived in the states it was indespensible! I would always use it for short or long distances and for multiple routes, I never needed any navigation equipment as long as I could print some paper and follow some directions! They were clear as day!
But this is just funny! I was just fooling around with it, but check out Step 30 from this Google Maps Link. One things for sure they have a sense of humor, and it still works perfectly!
