Found one of my favorite episodes of Ren & Stimpy on youtube.com yesterday.

Die Freude von Valleyschwag Vier
Phil, Nick, and I were about to lounge back for a rousing couple of rounds of Mario Kart DS when all of a sudden a suprise temporarily interrupted the fun. My Valleyschwag Issue 4 arrived! This month’s schwag was wrapped in a red cloth. I received a videoegg.com t-shirt, a mobiTV lounge chair, PerplexCity cards, a magnet, and as always, a bunch of stickers. Take a closer look by clicking here.
Also, did you know that my toaster runs Ubuntu Linux?
It Came From Outer Space
Kenneth Langteau
The person I am named after, my grandfather, passed away Sunday night. He is survived by children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren beyond my capacity for remembering names.
Thrift Stores Rock
Ever the sucker for vintage gaming consoles, I couldn’t say no to an Atari Super Pong console I discovered tucked into a corner of St. Vincent’s Thrift Store. It was $15 and had a tag on it that said NOT TESTED. I bought it anyway and it works like a charm. I also snagged a copy of Art Spiegelman’s Maus for $1.50.
Snakes on a (Insert Object)
In frantic anticipation of what is sure to be the summer’s biggest blockbuster, Snakes on a Plane, John and I freak out.
Die Webkamera hat retourniert!
The webcam page is back up after nearly a year hiatus. I was able to track down the same model of webcam for a low price. So now you can get your fix of my never being in my room.
Ken’s Mactorium
Since I no longer am committed to slave like working conditions for the university I have found myself with ample amount of free time in which to engage in free enterprise. I used to buy and sell Apple iBooks three years ago but found little time to conduct business. With $250 in venture capital that I have set aside I am going to begin doing something I really enjoy instead of working a job. I am going to begin buying, repairing, and reselling G3/G4 iMacs and Powermacs. I’ve already snagged some inventory.
I choose Macs because even the eight year old G3 iMac I have runs OS X smoothly and acts as a media server. Hell, the 1989 Macintosh SE/30 I own still runs perfectly. The aftermarket value on Macs are higher than PCs with comparable specs. They still can be repurposed. So, Ken’s Mactorium, is open for business.
Flickr is Down
I went to Flickr to upload some photos and all I got was a picture of two circles and a message stating that the internet tubes were clogged. Flickr staff encouraged its users to print the circles and make something during the downtime for a chance to win a free pro account. Here are my entries. The first is Red Robot from Diesel Sweeties. My second Pie Chart entry is linked here.
New Digital Camera and Flickr Account
The photo media for this page should increase dramatically since I purchased a new camera off of eBay. I bought the sleek Sony Cybershot DSC-L1. It is an older Cybershot that I fell in love with for its extremely compact size and great performance. My friend Lacey purchased one when they came out over a year ago and I’ve been pining for one. I told myself I wouldn’t purchase another Cybershot due to my horrible experiences with the DSC-P20. I’m a liar and a hypocrite. I have also set up a flickr account to share my photos. More good things coming soon.
