omfg real life intervention drama @ my house!

2010-12-09T02:15:00.001-08:00

so it's like 2am and some lady crashed into and is stuck in our drainage ditch. 2 patrol cars are out infront of our yard doing their cop thing. brad heard random honking and tires revving against rain soaked ditch dirt. he went to check if she was ok and thought she was super hammered, but ends up she is on pain medication. she blurted out some story about making a run for more pain meds b/c she broke her hip the other day, but is now in our ditch explaining herself to the officers in attendance. another cop car apparently just pulled up. anyhow, brad had asked her if she wanted us to call anyone to come help her and she said there was no one to call since her husband left with the kids. sadness! :/ ...might explain why she's all f'd up on pills? ok back to gawking out of our bedroom window! weeeeeee!

2010-12-06T15:35:00.001-08:00

our washer (the one that came with the house) decided to self-destruct this weekend and flood the bano so we went out and bought a new set. i caught the washer with my face while attempting to unload it off the truck and haul it into the house. made for a lovely new battle wound. meh!

super yummy cold vegetarian pasta salad!

2010-11-15T12:15:00.000-08:00

mind you, i am an uber carnivore, but this def gets me by... mmm! super easy recipe too! see below...

1 package of TJ's organic curly(?) pasta
1 bottle of Bernstein's Cheese Fantastico
1/2 tub of TJ's reduced-fat feta
1 can of jumbo olives (cut into 1/3rd's)
1 pack of spinach (blanched)
1/2 a bag of TJ's pine nuts
1/4 a bag of sun ripened tomatoes (cut into little strips)

the crunchiness of the pine nuts and the sweetness of the tomatoes makes all the difference...

diy faraday cage

2010-10-07T19:03:00.000-07:00

you'll need the following:

tin box
plug
speaker wire
metal mesh (i used a wall patch)
heavy duty shears
screws + bolts + washers
mylar (i used a space blanket)

first thing you should do is prep the plug by removing the un-needed prongs...

next, prep the speaker wire...

mount the speaker wire to the plug like so...

here's what it'll look like when you're done:

next, you'll want to cut a hole in the tin + cover it w/ the metal mesh. luckily, the metal mesh from the wall patch is sticky, which helps hold it in place when you mount it w/ the screws + bolts + washers. you'll also want to stick the exposed speaker wire threads in between the layers of metal mesh, like so...

lastly, you'll want to stuff the box w/ the mylar space blanket to help insulate you little cage:

tah-dah! here's the finished product! pretty f-ing cool, huh? best part about it is it works like a charm! :)

we pull up to park in a spot (where the audi is pulling out of in the video) + mike's car gets caught on the parking curb thingie...something audibly comes off...then drags as he backs up out of the spot. btw, 1/2 of google is standing outside waiting for their orders watching all this go down. in the video, mike is re-attaching his air dam w/ a hair tie + i'm standing around being useless --- making sure he doesn't get stepped on or run over while mcguyver-ing his car back together. typical lunch outing... heh!

palm pre stuck in headset mode...

2010-09-17T10:46:00.001-07:00

the palm pre's lifespan, at least in my hands, is less than a year. this is my second device, with my third supposedly coming in the mail monday. my first device's screen cracked @ the usb port. this one is STUCK IN HEADSET MODE and makes an awful shrill noise if you plug a headset in (as illustrated in the video). super uber whack sauce! ...but don't get me wrong, i love this phone! i really appreciate the slide-out keyboard and smaller-than-your-hand form factor. if only palm would get it together and make it a little beefier! *sigh!*
