Much more than just metal with holes!


It’s amazing what can be achieved with modern technology and tools. I’m doing a little “science project” with a couple of friends, and we need some custom metal casings to develop our idea (which is pretty much to try and come up with a homemade laptop). Well, after doing some research looking for a place where we could order the metal pieces, I came across thise perforated aluminum sheets chicago , and wow… I’m very impressed with what’s going on there! I mean, it’s supposed to be a simple metal manufacturer, but what they’re doing with perforated alluminium is nothing short of art! If you don’t believe me just go ahead and check it out for yourself. Also, stay tuned for my own custom laptop designs, it’s going to be sweet!

My new office in the wild?


Today is one of those days when I’m lacking patience for just about anyone or anything, because I’m just too busy with work… which is actually too bad, since I hate not being nice to people. And in days like this I have trouble being nice, so I usually prefer to get into a little isolation. The trouble being there’s always someone who comes to look me up, to try and cheer me up. My solution? Office Trailers Tulsa.

If I had one of these cool cabins out there in the woods, it would certainly be awesome! I could get some work done without distractions when needed be, and also I could get some solitude whenever I’d find myself in such mood. Lol, I may come across a bit anti-social talking like this, but that’s really not the point. I love being around people, but ocasionally I feel like getting some private space to really hear myself think.

Webmasters 101: How to choose the right web host?


Nowadays, everybody owns a website. Well, actually… most people don’t have a website of their own, rather they use services such as MySpace or Wordpress.com. While these kind of ready-made content creation services are doubtlessly useful, it’s next to nothing compared to the thrill of setting up an actual website from scratch, registering a domain and deploying the content to a web host. If you’re still unfamiliar with this kind of jargon but all the while you’re interested in learning how to set up your own website, then today I’m offering a little piece of advice.

To create a website, three ingredients are required: a domain name, a content management system, and a webhost. Domain names can be registered in several websites (registrars) at around $10 / year, and content management systems are oftentimes open source, meaning you can just download them from the Internet. Now, when it comes to the webhost, things get a little more complex; that’s because there are many companies offering different kinds of hosting plans – each of which is better for certain profiles of users.

Picking an appropriate webhost can easily become a daunting task for the novice webmaster, unless you know how to take advantage of web site hosting review. That´s a special kind of website focused on the comparison between different web hosts, and they get extremely useful when you’re trying to figure out the best web host to match your needs! Remember, doing a little research at the planning stage can save you many headaches down the road.

Things that Rhyme with Orange, lyrics included!


For anyone who’s a fan of the song Things that Rhyme with Orange, I’ve decided to make a little home, as well as providing you with the lyrics so you can sing along. This is indeed a powerful tune and I hope you’ll enjoy it! To all my internet buddies, the hit single from the band I set my friends on fire (but in a very cool way)… THINGS THAT RHYME WITH ORANGE (and I don’t mean poetically either):

Album Version:

Live @ warped tour 2009:

I’m so iconoclastic; I’M CLASTIC!
I only want you to think I’m fantastic.
I’ll participate in what you believe,
IF YOU GIVE ME THE ATTENTION!
Yeah, yeah thats the only compensation
I want to be included in your conversation.

So am I “in” or am I “out”
WHAT IS THERE TO THINK ABOUT!?
What is that paint brush for?
Are you preparing to draw me?
No wait, please don’t! i am scared,
Of what I’ll see…
I’m not a perfect picture portrait,
But i am working on it!
I’ve been thinking about being cool,
I must have to admit!

Blame it on the corporate skyscrapers in the clouds,
But if wasn’t for you,
We wouldn’t have all these multiple crowds.
How am I suppose to choose, which one I belong to?

I think I’ll perpetuate a pre-existing runway,
I guess it’s almost as cool as creating a fresh
New elaboration yourself.

It’s a marker! IT’S A SIGN!
It’s something we define!
It already exists, BUT YOU HELPED REFINE!
An emblem for all your aesthetic kin,
TO RECOGNIZE YOU BY!

Blame it on the corporate skyscrapers in the clouds,
But if wasn’t for you,
We wouldn’t have all these multiple crowds.
How am I suppose to choose, which one I belong to?

Obscenity is a crutch for traffic drives.
If you need to use the restroom just ask politely.
I like the way i do it, better then the way your not.
Lifting up the toilet seat was the way i was taught.

It has to be a unanimous determination.
Because one opinion would be a pointless appreciation.

YEAH, SURE THANKS FOR THE INVITATION!
DON’T WANT TO BE INCLUDED IN YOUR CONVERSATION…
IT’S TO LATE!
WE’VE OVER THROWN I TOOK ALL YOUR FRIENDS,
AND YOUR ALL ALONE.

Blame it on the corporate skyscrapers in the clouds,
But if wasn’t for you,
We wouldn’t have all these multiple crowds.
How am I suppose to choose, which one I belong to?

Are there enough tools to build a whole new world?


Do you know what a Cable Dolly is? Well, it may look like a complex and technical construction tool, at first glance. But let me tell you what it really is! It’s one amongst many modern construction tools that will help make this world ever more interesting and efficient, at least as far as buildings and structures are concerned. When I look into tools such as this, I feel like our world is not open for real change. We’re now able to make a difference for the best, and the bottomline? It’s all about how we use these (and other) tools!
