How cool would it be to grow magic mushrooms that gave you extra lives? (Think super mario style) Well that dream is now a reality with the 1up mushroom growing kit. Just drop the spores in the appropriately designed container, add water, put in a dark corner and boom… magic mushrooms for your video game lifestyle. Now my question is, does the 9 bucks you just spent on this novelty item actually produce you a green and white spotted mushroom or just a plain old mushroom? I cannot really tell if the photo on the site is real or doctored up. It almost looks like the green is photoshopped on there. Wouldn’t it suck to pay $9.00 for a stinking mushroom that only makes you see little people or the bugs living under your skin instead of giving you eternal life. I better get a genetically modified mushroom that looks like the video game mushrooms from the 1980’s, I mean what else is technology good for, really?

I’ve spent the last few weeks working on many new designs, one of which is the basic and green bagaki.com splash page. To be honest, nothing that exciting here, its green and it works. I have also made a few minor updates to the archives page to reflect the 2006 birthday pages.

Lets see, what else do I have up my sleeve? How about…… Bill Murray is part owner of the St Paul Saints.

I’m proud of you by the way. Awesome activity on the last poll. This is what this is all about, wasting time clicking more than your enemies.

I cannot explain the actions of the people in this video. I do have the warning: this video in violent and disturbing, but i still had to share it. I am sorry in advance if you find this video offensive.

Recently reviewed the new Bond film and found it quite entertaining, albeit a bit long. However, in my personal opinion the length of this film is acceptable due to the fact that the new Bond (Daniel Craig) is refreshingly different, yet still maintaining the qualities of Bond that we all appreciate in any good Bond film.

So here’s a new drink featured in the film (ordered “large” so it is, as I understand, double portions of each). Consider it. Drink it. Tell us all how it is.

The Vesper Martini

3 oz Gin
1 oz Vodka
0.5 oz Lillet Blanc (A specifically “necessary” type of Vermouth)

and apparently to be served in a deep wine goblet with a lemon peel - this is per the original book of the same title’s description. In the film the drink is served “up” in the usual martini glass.

I want all of you IE users to take a look-see and let me know if things are messed up again after this post. We are in the process of nailing down the cause of the missing right columns and as of right now believe it to be something with our CSS. Drop us a line and let us know.

It would be helpful if you let us know what version of Internet Explorer you are using so we can see how this is related to that application. Right now we do not know if this is a web standards issue or a rendering issue. From out tests, this post should appear in IE 6 with all three columns (but with errors on the page).

One thing I did just notice is when you vote in the poll using IE 6, the results are displayed but they are moved considerably down the page. Please let us know of any issues you may be having.

Thanks

Aaaah, the sweet, sweet sounds of Van Halen have never sounded so good as when Gurt T Luhrman was singing them at some small bar karaoke event. I had to represent and perform a little Jump to get things rockin. What is karaoke without Van Halen, and what is Jump without David Lee Roth? Oh, there are rumors of photos from the event and as soon as I can confirm this and get my hands on them, they will be posted for your viewing pleasure. Did someone say The Bagaki Experience?

So I woke up this morning to the sounds of asphalt workers damaging my car, at least that is what I was worried was happening. You see they paved the road this morning in front of my townhouse and I was terrified they were going to lose control of the extremely slow moving roller and flatten my car. Actually, what really woke me up was the vibration of things on the table from the roller on the pavement. Then when it would stop or some machine outside would stop, everything would shake real hard for a moment. Weird. But what is even weirder is that after I got up, I realized that my leg hair was darker. Now I’m not sure exactly how this is possible, but…. it is darker. I almost think that the shaking from the roller caused some type of trauma to my leg hair and now it has changed color. My car is fine though, so no big deal.

For the past few days I have been upset that many of you had not been taking advantage of the new polling system we installed for your pleasure. Now it seems that due to browser limitations you are not able to SEE the new polling system, or any of the right columned stuffs. Bummer. This sucks. I did testing on this exact problem and found that the new theme caused problems while the old theme didn’t. Well guess what. I changed back to the old theme and found that it too no longer works correctly in IE. I’m not sure where the problem lies, but I have turned the updated version back on. This is what pisses me off about corporate IT departments and their proprietary web applications. Stupid Microsoft, stupid programmers, stupid me for not conducting thorough enough tests. (If it makes you feel any better, the site doesn’t work with IE 7 either)

I will look into the problem because I do know how important the sidebar stuff is, heck it is what makes this site. Until then, I suggest sneaking a copy of Firefox onto your corporate terminal or you could always just give up on life. The choice is yours.

I’m on the road now for a few days, but fear not. I am making it my personal goal to post WHILE ON THE ROAD for a change. Usually I just give up after 10 minutes into my trip and stop posting for a while. Not this time! (I even have a surprise post for you). Here is a little something to start your workday, the most productive day of the week.

You know that kid from the recent apple commercials, the one who plays “the Mac“. His name is Justin Long, and this is his website. I’m honestly not impressed. His website sure doesn’t look like it was “made with a Mac”. I mean, look at the commercials, it would seem that everything done on a Mac turns out pretty and nice.

I strongly urge you to stop and take a look at this article describing America’s failure to stay on-top in the world of broadband and fast internet. I was having a nice discussion with a friend a while back about this and it just pisses me off. There is no reason why American’s should be paying WAY TOO MUCH for WAY TO LITTLE in terms of speed and performance. I want IPTV, and without an infrastructure it won’t happen. Damn monopolies.

The United States is 15th in the world in broadband penetration, according to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). When the ITU measured a broader “digital opportunity” index (considering price and other factors) we were 21st — right after Estonia. Asian and European customers get home connections of 25 to 100 megabits per second (fast enough to stream high-definition video). Here, we pay almost twice as much for connections that are one-twentieth the speed.

Here is something for all you “small device” user, the upcoming “blackberry thumb” epidemic. While the condition has been coined “blackberry thumb“, it should be known that this condition also affects those who use regular mobile phones for text messaging and other portable electronic devices.

“It’s a bit like the “Nintendo thumb” of the ’90s,” said occupational therapist Andrew Morton, referring to young people who spent hours battering hand-held video game controllers with their thumbs.

Morton, who specializes in hand therapy at the University Hospital in London, Ontario, said this problem was going to become more common, with increasing numbers of hand-held electronic devices with small buttons being used.

Hedge recommended preventive measures like holding the device comfortably in the hands and close to the body, and not typing for more than five minutes without a break.

There is good news though, Hyatt Hotels are now offering travelers the pampering they need to ease their “blackberry thumb”. How so? With a little massage goodness. I wonder if it comes with a happy ending?

Even if you don’t use a mobile device, it should be known that if you are happy, you will catch fewer colds. This seems to work for me, so I believe it.

One of the few things in life that I truly hate is the stench of stale ketchup. The kind of smell that emanates from a plate that was once used to eat ketchup from. That very plate that is now sitting in the kitchen waiting to be washed. At first there is little to no odor. You think nothing of leaving that plate for later to be washed after dinner settles. Maybe you will go for a walk to burn some of the calories you just ingested. When you leave your dwelling there is nothing more than the remnant scents from a delicious dinner… alone.

Upon your return you are blasted with a horrifying smell. What could it be? Is it my shoes? No, my feet don’t stink Is it the trash? Doubtful, it was just emptied the other day. Oh yes, its that plate you used for dinner that once had ketchup on it. Damn, how foul a smell. How can a food substance that once smelled tolerable become so horrid? I don’t know and I don’t want to find out. All I know is that I don’t like it.

I feel bad for those working in the fast food industry that have to empty the trash every day. The smell of stale ketchup must be hideous. I would puke, or more accurately I would quit. So to those who deal with the smell of stale ketchup I salute you, because I sure the hell couldn’t do it.

Well this isn’t quite a photo, but it is an awesome album (by an awesome band). A friend of mine had never seen the cover, so I though I would share it with her (and you of course). Check it out. Enjoy Miss K!

A PAEDO seduced a girl of 12 — then lived in her bedroom for THREE MONTHS without her mother finding out.

Scott Jennings, 22, cut a giant hole in the bottom of the youngster’s divan bed then used it as a secret den to evade detection if somebody came into the room.

He systematically abused the girl. And when she went to school in the morning, Jennings slipped out of the house to find food. Jennings, of Ashton-under-Lyne, Gtr Manchester, befriended the girl on a bus last year.

He began chatting her up, persuaded her to give him her mobile phone number and then arranged a date.

When they met, Jennings said he had nowhere to live and confided that he was wanted by police for a minor dishonesty offense.

Wow, and I say that for multiple reasons. First of all, this is a tragedy for the abused girl, I would wish this upon no-one and hope this man is punished accordingly. Secondly, it is a shame when my spell check finds errors in quoted text from a professional news source. Finally, what did this guy do when he had to go to the bathroom at 2am?

The definition of paedo for those wondering. Oh, and read the caption under the image on the screen shot. That is unaltered. “Pervert place…” That sounds like something off of a bad version of Monopoly. I say make him a eunuch.

If I was ever to become rich and frivolous, I would install flooring like this throughout my entire house. I would invite people over and not tell them about the floor. They wouldn’t know what to do. They would just see me running around on this “goop looking stuff”. Ha

Here is a better idea, instead of being frivolous and having this for myself, I shall rent it to obese and overweight people as a way to become fit and healthy. I would call it the fitness house because you couldn’t stand still.

I think it would be cool to have sidewalks like this. What about roads? Can a car travel over such liquid as long as it doesn’t stop. Is there a limit to the density of such fluid? Kigis, oh great man of chemical compound knowledge, can you assist with this question?
