A Ford with a Fridge
May 28, 2008 Just Plain Awesomeness, Technology
“you can keep six packs of b… soda in there” (name the movie for extra points)
The new Ford Flex has an option where you can have a small refrigerator between the front seats under the armrest. From the looks of it, you can put around 3cans of whatever in there and it will keep them cold:
In normal operation it can take drinks from room temperature, at 77 degrees Fahrenheit, down to 41 degrees in two- and-a-half hours. It also has a freezer option that can get keeps items a chilly 23 degrees F. And it is sealed well enough so that it takes almost three hours for the temperature to go up just 18 degrees F.
Anyone else think that this is an awesome idea? I wish that it was a little bigger, but other than that (and the $760), it rules!

Possibly the best WordPress Plugin EVER
May 21, 2008 Found Online, Just Plain Awesomeness
For anyone out there that used the self-hosted WordPress blogging platform, LISTEN UP! As you know, the way you install a plugin to your blog is to FTP the files manually. That really stinks for those of us that can’t FTP from work (where we might just happen to do most of our blogging). Well, there is a VERY easy cure.
There is a plugin called Plugin Central. You have to install it the old fashioned way via FTP, but it will be the last time you have to do that. Once installed and avtivated, you can simply get to it via the Dashboard, give it a link to a plugin .zip file, and it will automatically install it. It has a very clean interface. Here is a screenshot:
So, there you have it. The most useful plugin ever. Enjoy!

Rumor: Apple to release multitouch keyboard for Apple TV
May 19, 2008 Just Plain Awesomeness, Technology, apple
I love my AppleTV. It has really changed the way I watch movies. In fact, I haven’t used an actual dvd to watch a movie in months. Why would I? I have instant access to all of my movies through an AWESOME interface on my tv.
The AppleTV comes with a little remote, which works great. But, even greater than that would be if this rumor is true. Check out these pictures:
These are just artist renditions of what it could look like, but it is still cool nonetheless. From the CrunchGear article:
The multitouch pad would be totally programmable, and would be able to function as anything from a simple number pad to an iPod-like click wheel to a whatever-else-you-have-in-mind. That’s the rumor, at least.
Even though it’s pretty big compared to a standard remote, you would be able to do a lot with it. I hope this rumor turns out to be true!

Third Day featured me on their official blog!
May 7, 2008 Just Plain Awesomeness, Music, me
Third Day is my favorite band of all time. They have been for around 14 years or so. Well, I went to their blog today, and they featured a video that I had put up on Youtube of a band I used to play with covering a Third Day song.
They have been doing a feature called “Fourth Day”, where they post a video of someone covering a Third Day song. Today featured my video! So, go to their blog and check it out.
After Edmund - an awesome band for you to check out
May 2, 2008 Just Plain Awesomeness, Music
After Edmund is a new band that recently released their debut cd entitled “Hello”. Imaging if Coldplay rocked 10 times harder then they currently do, and you might have an idea of what these guys sound like.
Also, I went to college with some of these guys. I was in a college band with Mitch, the lead singer, so not only do I like the record becasue it ROCKS, but I am also friends with some of them. So, go listen to some samples of their tracks, and buy their cd. It’s one of those albums where the whole album is solid and flows nicely together.
