John Cusak, you let me down | HatesTheInternet

http://hatestheinternet.com/blog/john-cusak-you-let-me-down

Posted July 4, 2010 at 01:53. Post image is random IMDB images. John Cusak, you let me down. That's right, John Cusack. After many years and many more enjoyable movies and memorable characters, your latest cinematic outing severely disappointed me. You were the king of awesome until @theguelphgirl made me watch Hot Tub Time Machine. This piece of criticism should sting worse than syphilis. It was with a deep sense of foreboding I continued watching watching from there on in and, in a completely unsurpris...

The Ins and Outs of a Monster Truck | HatesTheInternet

http://hatestheinternet.com/hackery/ins-and-outs-monster-truck

Posted December 24, 2011 at 17:13. The Ins and Outs of a Monster Truck. Welcome to the second installment in the continuing saga of a boy and his truck. In tonight’s episode, we dust off the soldering iron and get down to business building a couple circuits that will give the truck an interface . I say RS232, You say TTL. The ‘232 ICs are actually dirt simple to get going, but they do require a few external capacitors. After perusing some data sheets, I fired up Fritzing and made a quick schematic:.

You need an answering machine | HatesTheInternet

Posted July 17, 2011 at 23:29. Post image is DSC04332. You need an answering machine. This whole thing could be easily solved by spending $25 down t' thu WalMart (or 7.99 at ValuVillage), but shame on you for even suggesting that because that just wouldn't be any fun at all. How often have you heard that? Yup, the PBX. For managing the beast, I decided to go with the FreePBX. Where I keep it, but that's nothing a symbolic link couldn't fix. I had all the extensions and ring groups for the setup I env...

The Lovely Bones | HatesTheInternet

http://hatestheinternet.com/blog/lovely-bones

Posted February 2, 2010 at 22:09. So this weekend I let @theguelphgirl. Drag me to the local movie house to watch a film based on a cheerily dark little tale she'd read not too long ago. This sad little tome bore the title The Lovely Bones. And, I've been assured often enough to be curious, the book is better. This film tells the story of a 14-year-old girl from Pennsylvania named Susie Salmon (played by Saoirse Ronan. 7 hours 55 min. 11 hours 49 min. Couldn't resist. https:/ t.co/gpJuOq20Ax.

As I sat here watching Cloud Formation delete the stacks for my two previous iterations of cloudy Drupal, it occurred to me that I've been so busy building cloud Drupals in the clouds I've fallen woefully behind in chronicling my adventures.

Wired for Sound | HatesTheInternet

http://hatestheinternet.com/hackery/wired-sound

Posted December 5, 2011 at 14:00. Can we fix it. Having successfully replaced Tommy's battery in an earlier bout of geekery. I decided it was time to set about making him do something useful. Since he didn't come with a remote, the first step was locomotion. A while ago I'd downloaded a couple programs that could supposedly drive the Omnibot, but they didn't seem to work and I couldn't remember where I'd nabbed them to do some futzing around. Thankfully, The Old Robots Web Site. Var freq:int = 0; var gen...

Zen and the Art of Monster Trucking | HatesTheInternet

http://hatestheinternet.com/hackery/zen-and-art-monster-trucking

Posted December 24, 2011 at 01:56. Zen and the Art of Monster Trucking. Many Christmases ago, I decided I’d been a good boy and rewarded myself with an amusing little 4x4 called the Carnivore. After impulse buying an Arduino Uno, I decided the time was nigh to dust it off and make it fun again. Simon Says Turn Left. Function. It was tear-assing around the living room in a more or less controlled fashion in no time. As mentioned in the videos [which have long since vanished - ed.], the Arduino draws i...

His Robot Heart Can't Love | HatesTheInternet

http://hatestheinternet.com/hackery/his-robot-heart-cant-love

Posted December 3, 2011 at 11:52. His Robot Heart Can't Love. Can we fix it. When I first met Tommy, he was alone. Stuck high upon a forgotten shelf, he watched people come and people go, most bissfully unaware as to how many lols a toy robot from the mid 80s with a few missing pieces still had in him. In the spirit of full disclosure, it wasn’t actually me who found Tommy. A little while ago, @theguelphgirl. One of the most awesome toys to come out of the decade of which we don't speak:. 60v/50Ah, for t...

Night Stalker - yuck | HatesTheInternet

http://hatestheinternet.com/blog/night-stalker-yuck

Posted June 19, 2008 at 23:38. Post image is random google images. Night Stalker - yuck. I know the show's 3 years old and probably dead in all but low rent syndication, but I recently caught the last 2 episodes of Night Stalker. And let me tell you, Carl Kolchak. Stuart Townsend most definitely was not. Of all the affronts on various childhood memories I hold dear, this television series, short lived as it may have been, was definitely the most aggregious. I've flown planes with less going on than this ...
