Amazon Email Scam, Careful With Your Spam

Just received a VERY convincing scam email. Looks like this is from Amazon.com, right? See for yourself.

No legitimate company will send you a file via email. None.

If you get an attachment from someone you don’t know, 99.9% of the time it’s an email scam… don’t open it!

Find Golf Courses, Save Money and Keep Track of All Your Gold Scores

A friend of my came up with this cool idea. So what did he do? Instead of doing “nothing” he built it!

DivotDog helps golfers find golf courses and save money on their tee times. Golfers can also get statistical analysis of their game.

I think that’s pretty cool. How about you?

Marquese Scott Is Best Break Dancer EVER!

They always say the best make it look easy. This guy is ridiculous! Seriously? No video editing?!? ARE YOU SURE???

As a poor white boy who used to break to everything from Planet Rock by Afrika Bambaataa & Soulsonic Force to Jam On It by Newcleus, we used to watch Electric Boogaloo I and II to try and learn new stuff. I have NEVER seen a dancer so unreal as Marquese.

I’ve already watched this 4 times… going back for more. (H/T to Lewis at LimeWedge.net)

What Is Batmanning?

You’re asking me, “What Is Batmanning?” Seriously?!? Where have you been?

Batmanning is all the rage with the cool kids these days.

Welcome to the Dojo 9/12/11

1. Evertune
   Keep your guitar in tune forever. Yes please! Invention of the Year Award too.
2. Florida Man Sets Blood Donor Record
   A simple idea combined with dedication has likely made the difference in hundreds, if not thousands of lives. John Sheppard is a hero!
3. He saves comrades, gets medal, shrugs
   A story like this doesn’t get enough run. Instead we idolize self-centered sycophants. I wish more people were like Matt Blain. Perhaps we’ll send all of our kids through the military whether they want to or not.
4. Man Makes Movie Magic with Trees and Trash Cans [video]
   Dude certainly has a knack with realistic sound effects.
5. Tiny Oxygen Generators Boost Effectiveness of Anticancer Treatment
   Pure oxygen. Even a non-scientist like myself undertands why it would help. Won’t be long until we all sleep in oxygen tents. Bank on it.

The Sadness Has Overwhelmed Me

I wish I could post more. That would mean I’m successful and have lots of free time and am happy all the time. Or would it? Yeah, it probably would.

I wish I could post more.

Welcome to the Dojo 8/13/11

1. Oregon Boy Survives 20 Minutes Underwater
   We will not know for certain but it could very well be that the prayers of those on the beach saved this boy’s life.
2. Good Samaritan Finds $16,000, Returns It To Owner
   The world needs more people like this. And our media needs to report stories like this more often!
3. India’s Tata group to sell $700 flat-pack house
   Low income housing for realz! But where do you put it?
4. Study Shows Good Posture Makes You Tougher
   And here I thought it just made me more attractive to the opposite sex?
5. Churches open walls to art
   It’s a reaching out that shows the world you value them, what they like and ultimately shows them love.

The Order Has Been Placed

The order has been placed. My wife is ecstatic.

When will it arrive? Might take quite awhile given the tsunami that hit Japan halted production on many automobile manufacturers.

At least that’s what the salesman is telling us.

Update: We have it! Now, we’re all in the dont-let-anything-hurt-the-car mode. You just can’t win.

Welcome to the Dojo 7/21/11

1. Grannies Practice for Basketball Tournament
   Gam Gam gots game…. lookout!
2. New app allows your unborn child to choose his/her name
   Screw parameters! Babies should have free reign to choose names like, “Gurglegorp” or “Fsizerbak”.
3. The Costs of Compulsory Education
   I’m down. Indoctrination is a dish best served in the guise of a gift.
4. Why WSJ Mobile App Gets ** Customer Reviews
   Sometimes usability isn’t as easy as you might think. Big boys WSJ failed.
5. This is why your website sucks
   He’s right, most Web sites do suck because people build them for too many competing causes, then make them worse by either not updating to tacking things on in ridiculous places. Argh!

MuteMath Announces ‘Odd Soul’

Good: New music coming!
Bad: We have to wait until October 4. 8^(

Welcome to the Dojo 6/20/11

1. The World’s Most Awesome and Amazing Houses in Lap of Nature
   OH MY GOOTNESS!
2. Kobe Bryant fined by the NBA for shouting a homophobic slur
   Look, I dislike Kobe as much as most non-Lakers fans (and people who generally opposed rape) but when did our country become so thin skinned? Calling someone a name might offend the person being called the name but the rest of the world should just shut up and grow up.
3. Commendation for regular guy, rising to rescue
   THIS is the stuff the news should be spending time covering. Robert Casey is a hero. Yuri Mikalixen is a scumbag who deserves to be castrated. Booyah!
4. An Experiment in Modern Recruiting News
   Oh yeah baby… everything on the Internet is true, er… except when they tell you it’s not. Thanks Jonathon Paige!!
5. Louisville One of the ‘Top Cities to Raise a Family’
   That’s why we’re here. No wait, that’s not why. Louisville is great because we’re here!

I Make All Things New

All this pain
I wonder if I’ll ever find my way
I wonder if my life could really change at all
All this earth
Could all that is lost ever be found
Could a garden come up from this ground at all

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

All around
Hope is springing up from this old ground
Out of chaos life is being found in You

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

You make me new, You are making me new
You make me new, You are making me new

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

Wow. Humans are some crazy stuff.

In My Mind I’ve Gone To…
