Save Money on Milk
🖊️ Austin Riba ⌚ 🔖 💬 0
Lets start off this post by saying that I LOVE milk. And I especially love good, hearty, 2% milk. I cant stand drinking low fat milk, and I feel that non fat milk is a crime against nature. So I propose a solution lowfat milk drinkers and myself both will like. Next time, instead of buying a lesser form of milk, get the good stuff - the 2%. The sane people can drink the milk right out of the carton unspoiled. If someone were for some reason want low or non fat milk, simply add water. A cup or too a presto! You have 1% milk. Add another 3 or 4 and you have nonfat milk, at least thats what it tastes like anyways.

Google earth has taken an image from Nasa and put it into google earth format so you can view it inside the application. This image pretty much describes why the sky has been orange for the last month or so.
You get what you pay for: The Dollar Tree
🖊️ Austin Riba ⌚ 🔖 News 💬 1
The Dollar Tree really sucks. The old saying “you get what you pay for” really applies even more so here than anywhere else. I’m not going to go into a huge rant here because Im sure everyone already knows that shopping at this store for anything other than coat hangers (and even those are crappy) is a waste of a dollar. At first you walk in the store and you think 
“Wow! How can they afford to sell all this great stuff for only a dollar?” But then you start to realize that the stuff that is on sale is not the same stuff that you buy in other stores but cheaper, its actually not the same stuff at all. In fact, the merchandise at the Dollar Tree is purposely deceiving - it is made to look like popular brands that are sold in other stores. In fact the merchandise is almost exclusively made in Vietnam, and is of extremely poor quality.

How to Boost Wifi Signal With Tinfoil and Paper.

Just like any other good nerd, I started on a new project a few days ago. I wanted to put an old computer in with the house’s stereo equipment to act as a jukebox. I’ve mentioned the idea before in an earlier post. Now I actually wanted to put it to practice. I set up all the software easy enough - I installed Linux, MPD plus a webclient and a samba share. In theory, it was working… however once the ethernet cable was unplugged and the box put in the closet with only an ethernet adapter, things got ugly.
Cool Forts of El Granada
🖊️ Austin Riba ⌚ 🔖 Bizzare 💬 0
El Granada, California always had the best mix of suburban housing mixed in with empty lots and huge groves of Eucalyptus trees. This created a great enviroment for kids to built tree houses, forts and neighborhood jumps. The town is much more devleloped now, so most of the places I remember from my youth have become new houses. Other tree forts and jumps have been destroyed purposedly in this new age of liability. However, a few of these old masterpieces survive, and a couple are still built and manage to stay alive for a while before being torn down by scared property owners and uptight dog walkers. Here are two I viseted today:
