Breaking News! One of those guys from Korn left the band. Find out why here. I guess it’s like a joke, and the punchline is in the article.

So I’m pretty sure some of you remember AllAdvantage, the program that paid you to surf the web. Some people made a killing off of that program, they got alot of referrals and used programs that would trick the AllAdvantage software into thinking you were surfing the web all day long, and therefore getting paid for it. Well there’s a new program similiar to AllAdvantage that everyone seems to be talking about, and I’m sure some of you have already signed up. It’s called SurfJunky, and it works basically the same way - You’re paid to view web content. With this program, it reloads a new website every 30 seconds. You start off at making 45 cents an hour, but as you surf you earn ‘points’ and can go all the way up to 75 cents an hour. Also, you get a % of the money earned by all of the people you refer, the people that they refer, and so on. That doesn’t sound like much, but if you leave this running all day, you’d be making over 10 bucks a day. Now normally I wouldn’t waste your time with something like this, but there is a very easy way to make this program run in the background and not bother you at all if you’re using FireFox as your web browser (which you should be regardless). Go to Tools/Options/Web Features, and click the Advanced button beside Enable JavaScript. Uncheck the following two boxes: move or resize existing, and raise or lower windows. You can also minimize the window to your system tray if you’d like by using the Minimizetotray extension. This way the program won’t pop up in front of whatever you’re doing everytime a new site is loaded.

Edit Numero Tres: Okay, the SurfJunky people figured out that people are cheating, and so they made it so that you can’t use the program with Firefox. There is no way in hell I’m gonna view all these ads in Internet Explorer, it would load so much spyware/adware crap onto my computer it would probably just melt… Which might be kinda cool, but regardless, you can use the User Agent Switcher extension for Firefox to make the site think that you’re using IE/Opera/Nutscrape. Install the extension and then to enable it go to Tools/User Agent Switcher and choose which browser you’d like to make sites think that you’re using. Works like a charm for me!

Take the computer game quiz - You have to guess which games belong to which screenshots, kinda cool I guess. I knew 15 out of the 40 on there.

I’ve never been pulled over before while driving (yeah, when else would that happen) but after seeing this video I know exactly what to do.

Einstein the brainy bird is pretty damn cool.

On Thursday, Feb. 17th, it was confirmed that Mieszko Talaczyk, lead vocalist/guitarist of grindcore band Nasum died in last December’s tsunami disaster. I personally have never really gotten into these guys, but it seems to be a tragedy felt by all in the metal community. Fred Durst (metal icon, dick connoisseur, and self-appointed “metal scene” spokesman) had the following to say about Talaczyk’s death when he stopped by MTV’s TRL show yesterday: “Ay yo, me and Nasum wuz like two peaz in a pod man, us grindcore bands really had to stick together. It’s times like these that we need to come together as a community and rebuild things from the ground up. Hey… What was I talking about? Oh yeah, anyway, keep an eye out for Janet Reno and the Queef Flavored Pierogie, dropping in mid July, it’s gonna be our rawest album yet!” Thanks Fred.

I was gonna say something along the lines of “If you only click on one link in this post, let it be this one” because that video is hilarious… But then I realized that there are at least five other links in this post that are absolutely awesome, so nevermind. But still… it made me laugh alot.

So the other night it was 2 AM and I was just about to get to bed. I was so exhausted and should have probably gotten to bed 2 hours before then, because I had a 9 AM class and hate being tired all day. But then someone sent me this damn game… I was up ’til like 3:30 playing it.

I don’t know if any of you have seen the “new and improved” Warner Brothers characters, but they suck. If I was a little kid, I’d probably be scared of them, they look like aliens or something.

I had to present a current event in my Intro to Mass Comm class today, and I was so tempted to use this story. I was really going to, but it wasn’t long enough for me to write a half-decent summary of it, otherwise I would have. I ended up doing the story on Paris Hilton’s phone getting hax0red. I’m sure this isn’t breaking news for most of you, but if you haven’t seen/heard about that already, you can check it out here. Or you could read about Paris Hilton and Britney Spear’s dogs… The fact that
