Toys: Lego
Posted By Jeff On July 25, 2009 @ 12:05 pm
he Answer is Lego!
I’ve always loved Lego, not totally sure why. The idea of being able to build anything you want was always cool. When they came out with the little lego people and everything or every occasion though I think I started growing out of it. I liked the knights though, they were totally awesome.
What’s your coolest lego story?
Toys: First Toy?
Posted By Jeff On July 25, 2009 @ 11:34 am
As promised, I want to talk about Toys and Games a bit throughout the day. To make a game of it, I’ve taken a picture of one of the toys (and a little distrortion when needed) and cropped it. I’ll give you a hint of what it might be as well. In the following post, I’ll reveal the answer and talk about why the toy rocks. Lets go!
Toy #1
There is a lot of these. They come in lots of colors. They don’t taste very good. Some people are so obsessed with them, that they’re called “Maniacs”
First miss

Just missed this one by 5 minutes. Looks like I got the spamming gone though, time stamps are updated on the individual post page but not the main one. Do you guys see the hour/minute showing at the bottom of the posts? Let me know, make sure it’s not just me.
And Exhale

Okay, so I finally have at least one comment on every blog that I’m monitoring. Now I have a minute or two to breath. Though now I have to deal with the MASSIVE comment spam I have on my blog on some of my older posts. There is over 100 from ‘neo, halo or bill’. Think I’ll just turn the comments off on those ones.
Oh, and I have to add an hour/minute time stamp to the posts. I’ll get to it.
One hour?!
Posted By Jeff On July 25, 2009 @ 10:02 am
Wow, we’re at the one hour mark and I’ve still got 3 more blogs left to introduce myself on. I’ll get there eventually guys, really!
In the mean time, everybody keep your hats on and pledge some money in the money jar!
Blogothon theives!

I think somebody stole my time. No no, really. I woke at 7, then fell back asleep until 8:55 so everything that was supposed to be done before isn’t. And plus I’m slow on messaging my manatees. Sorry guys, I’m getting there, I’ll catch up soon!
Go Go Blog '09!

Good morning world!
This is the first post of many for Blogathon 2009. We’re raising money today for the Tim Horton Children’s Foundation, be sure to click the pledge link in the sidebar to show your support.
We’ve got some random fun stuff to do today, which likely won’t start until I actually wake up. Keep an eye out and have a great ‘thon y’all!
Blogathon '09
Posted By Jeff On July 4, 2009 @ 7:26 pm
Hello my Lovies. It’s that time again. The time where I stay up late, spam you with message posts and you donate money to a charity in a feeble attempt to make me stop.
Blogathon is an annual charity event where bloggers stay up for 24 hours straight, make blog posts every 30 minutes, and raise money for a charity of their choice. This year, I’ve chosen again to support the Tim Horton Children’s Foundation.
The Tim Horton Children’s Foundation sends children from economically disadvantaged homes to summer camp for a week. This is something that these children would normally not have the chance to do. Aside from giving the kids a fun week away from their parents, it helps them develop confidence so they can take pride in their accomplishments and give them the idea that they can succeed; no matter where they’ve come from. This summer alone they will send over 14,000 kids to camps across the country.
Blogathon will be taking place this year on July 25th at 9:00am EST until July 26th at 9:00am EST. I would love for your support, both emotional or financial through donations. You can PLEDGE HERE if you wish to show your support and I look forward to spamming you later this month.
eRepublik: The New World
Posted By Jeff On June 8, 2009 @ 8:33 pm
Have you ever wished that you could live your life all over again? I have!
The idea behind eRepublik is that you can create an account and live it day to day as you would in real life. Boring? Nah.
After inital sign up you’re forced to pick a job and horrible wages and work. Sucky? For now. After you work two days you’ll level and get something a little better as well as join the army and train. At level 5 (I think it was 5) you can participate in any wars your country is in. Eventually you can vote for political parties and what not as well.
Personally I’m still pretty newb at this, but looking into the future of the game with user-created political parties, different countries and regions and fluctuating economies it can hold a lot of potential. A key factor that interests me is that the game is based on real-time logic, so those with more time on their hands won’t overrun the game.
I’d recommend to give it a try for a week or so, see how it plays out. I like the idea of being able to represent my region. Look me up while you’re there, name is Egen.
IRB: Site reconstruction
Posted By Jeff On January 28, 2009 @ 10:08 pm
Hey guys, I’m going to be redoing I R Blogging over the next week or so to make it better. Some of the changes that are going to happen involve:
A) A new layout: The one we have is falling apart and being held together with plugins and duct tape.
B) Complete removal of plugins and addons: We’re going to start fresh. I’m going to take out anything that might be causing the site to run slow, or be unorganized. This includes revamping the search tool to allow me to see exactly what you guys want and target posts better to what you want to read
C) Retagging: I’m going to try to make my way through every post on the blog and retag it. This will enable you to find related posts quicker and faster.
D) New logo: It’s been almost a year and we still don’t have one. I’ll try to fix this, if you have any ideas feel free to shoot me an email.
Thanks for hanging in there, Jeff.
