Part of the yopo’s mission is to get to know one another and introduce each other to the world. I went ahead and asked Noah Kagan some questions and have gone ahead and posted them at yopos.com.

iTrip Stops Broadcasting
I ran into the weirdest thing the other day and I want to share my experience in the hopes it will help someone else. I drive to school and listen to music with a Griffin iTrip. So, I got to school, disconnected the iTrip and went to class. I came back to the car, hooked up the iTrip and nothing. The red light was on as if it were broadcasting but it definitely wasn’t. I checked every radio station: nothing. I came home and decided to re-load the ‘station’ which luckily worked. Just make sure that you select the station you want to play, and hit pause/play once it starts blinking rapidly. After the fact I found this article from Griffin. I just thought it to be pretty weird to suddenly ‘forget’ how to broadcast. Oh well!
Inappropriate Responses
Scott nails it again: read his inappropriate responses. I often find myself caught in the ‘how are you loop’ or I’ll pull one of these: “Hey Devin, whats up?” “Fine thanks, you?” I almost feel bad at that point but then I remember… most people don’t really care how you are nor want to really know what’s ‘up’. It’s just one of those ‘filler greetings’: a greeting that takes up more words than it needs to. My treatment of this superfluous Q&A session often throws people off guard. Often in line at the grocery store it’ll go as such: “Hi there, how are you?” “Pretty good.” Which then leads to 20-60 seconds of awkward silence as the “momentum” of the conversation comes to a screeching halt. I just wonder why they didn’t ask something more meaningful like “So, looks like you’re out of toothpaste, sliced ham and milk? I go through that stuff pretty quickly too” or “Wow, you’re the first teenager I’ve ever seen buy 12-dozen eggs and 14 rolls of toilet paper. Is that typical?”
Google Video
You know, of all the negative feedback Google Video has received in the last weeks I just want to say I’ve found something really cool about it: jessica simpson is:forsale
Bandwidth Issues
If you tried to visit earlier today you would have noticed my bandwith had been exceeded. I didn’t realize WordPress was set to display the ‘last 105 posts’ on the home page. Each page load added up to over 2G pretty quickly. Ooops. Sorry, Brad.
DDR
Another day of coincidences: DDR will be introduced to schools to fight obesity. Any opposition should watch Bryan and notice how un-obese he is. Hah for that matter they could look at skinny ol’ me playing DDR. ;-)
Computers Crash
Why the hell is it that computers will crash and eff up if and only if you’re in the middle of a pretty important task? Honestly. I was having website issues the other day and then this evening Windows crashed hard (and by hard I mean it rebooted saying it had to do registry recovery, none of my cookies are saved, etc.). This is such a waste of my time. All those days I sit around poking people on Facebook though, nothing! Not even a frozen browser… thanks Murphy.
Alaska Airlines Sucks
Between this conversation and this behavior I don’t think I’ll ever (start) flying Alaska Airlines anytime soon.
Review: Waiting
If you’re in high school or college, you’ve got to see this movie. Odds are you are, or know someone who is in the restaurant business. From what I’ve been told this movie exposes many of the finer details to handling other people’s food.
Oh, wait, it’s not just some dumb movie about some disgruntled waiters. There are ‘guy’ jokes left and right. Personally, I’m surprised with what they can get away with these days. In addition, the main character’s struggle is with deciding on whether or not sleeping with the 17-year old hostess is moral (not to mention legal) or not. Classy, to say the least. That’s okay though, Ryan Renolds is the coolest actor around (Van Wilder, anyone?).
Being a male, aged 16-25, I found many parts of this movie to be extremely humerous. It’s not something I’d have a girl come watch with me, that’s for sure. Though, that doesn’t mean many wouldn’t enjoy it.
In any case, the inside look at what it’s really like to ‘wait’ tables is very funny. I’d recommed it to any guys who share similar humor tastes (Family Guy, Simpsons, Van Wilder). I’d have to give ‘Waiting’ a 5/10; it’s disgusting, immature, but pretty darned entertaining…
Gum = Dangerous?
It appears as if Melody is onto something: aspartame is dangerous… and it’s in every pack of gum in my house! I, honest to goodness, wondered why sometimes I felt weird when I chewed a lot of gum (Orbit is my weapon of choice) in a day. I don’t think I can quit all together but I’ll certainly ween myself off it (I chew half pieces anyway).
