Anyone who carries your lunch to work everyday, and also has an old Nintendo lying around, pay attention here. You can easily take that old N.E.S., strip its guts out, and make a pretty stellar lunchbox to show off to your friends at work. Here is the end result:
Just add a handle, and you’re set!

I don’t drink, so maybe this would be useful for me when I kick back with an IBC. What you see below is a USB stick/bottle opener. So I guess you can transfer your documents around and open a bottle of whatever all at the same time. Brilliant!
USB stick CO with bottle opener
The USB stick CO is a mobile data storage device in a solid, brushed aluminium housing. It is special because it incorporates an extra bottle opener function combining practical data storage with a thirst-quenching aid that is always to hand. The USB stick CO has a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 connection for extra-fast data transfer (read rate: 25 MB/s, write rate 12 MB/s). It is bootable, pre-formatted and ready for immediate use without a driver.

Everything You Need to Know About Steak
Sep 15, 2008 food and drink 6 Comments
Esquire has put together a great article on everything you need to know about steak. For example:
The Grades of Meat: Prime: What you want. Typically found only at fine butcher shops, its interlacing of intramuscular fat–like a cobweb–assures tenderness, juiciness, and flavor. · Choice: Pretty good. More affordable and accessible than prime, moderate marbling still yields juicy, flavorful cuts. · Select: You’re on a plane.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but as you can see from this picture of me from 6 years ago, I clearly know all about steak:
Ok, maybe not. That is a disturbing image. Mackalicious, why did you let me do that?
Anyway, make sure you read the manly article if you are a fan of steak!
RagamuffinTop Challenge week 16

First off, I did not post my weigh-in last week. I was out of town, and even though I brought my scale with me AND weighed in, I sort of just forgot to post it. As far as the result, I gained 3 pounds.
But that was LAST week. On to THIS week’s video (that has a small clip from last week’s weigh-in as well):
Really? I couldn’t lose .6 more pounds? Seriously though, I am so excited about this week. I am really hoping that next week will be the one where I pass my goal.
- Starting weight: 289.0
- Last’s week’s weight: 265.4
- Today’s weigh-in weight: 259.6
- Today’s weight loss/gain: -5.8 pounds
- TOTAL +/-: -29.4 pounds
Remember, if you want to take part in the RagamuffinTop Challenge, go here to read all about the details. Basically, you set a goal and post the results weekly. The best part is that the entire world is your accountability partner!
