Bottled water for pets

I hope this is a joke. From http://www.mollibrands.com/:

Molli’s Choice is the first national premium bottled water for your cat or dog. Our purified waters are enhanced with nutrients specifically formulated for the health of your pet. We offer both unflavored water and a selection of subtle and sophisticated flavors to keep even the most discriminating pet properly hydrated. So before you fill your pet’s dish with tap water that may contain fluoride and chlorine at doses established for humans, consider offering your four-legged family member something better.

“The waters are developed using vet-approved formulations and come in such distinctive flavors as beef tenderloin, bacon delight, roasted turkey, roasted chicken and original enhanced purified water.”

Yum! Give me a bottle of bacon delight, please!

My Shaved Head

On Sunday, I shaved my head….bald. I have wanted to do it for a long time (for some unknown reason) and I finally did it. I telecommute so nobody sees me anyway. :) I found some tips on http://headshaver.org and followed those. We used dog clippers to first remove most of the hair, then a razor (Mach III) and shaving gel to remove the rest.

Here are some before, during, and after pics.

It feels weird and cool at the same time. Too bad it’s not so WHITE. I think it might look ok with a tan up there. I actually liked the buzzcut look. This is a one-time thing though – I will now let it grow back (that was the agreement I had to make with my wife). My daughter doesn’t like it.

Free (and legal) Star Wars MP3s

I swear I posted this before, but I guess I didn’t. Here are some free and legal Star Wars Republic Commando MP3s:

  • First, go to the SW:RC site
  • point at “Navigate” in the tip middle
  • under downloads, click MP3s
  • From there you can download the entire soundtrack. I really like it – it’s a really good Star Wars vibe.

UPDATE: The site above is gone. Try this site instead.

Your favorite 80s music

I’m finally nearing the end of finishing up my gameroom (maybe by the end of the month?). My MP3 jukebox is almost done too! I want to make sure I have a good variety of 80s music for everyone to choose from to play in the arcade. I have the top 100 songs from every year from 1982-1988 already, but what songs would *you* make sure you had for an arcade? Leave your suggestions in the comments.
