General Thoughts
PayPal Phishing
I recently got a spoofed email attempting to phish my PayPal account details. I think of myself as pretty adept at identifying phishing emails but this one came at just the right time. This email came from PayPal’s abuse department, indicating that there was some recent suspicious activity on my account and provided a link where I could log in and presumably verify my information.
Casio EX-Z75 Faulty Battery
I purchased a Casio EX-Z75 digital camera about a year ago and for the most part it’s been working perfectly and is a very good camera. However I didn’t use it for about 2 months or so and it seems the rechargeable lithium ion battery is dead. When I try to recharge it, the red light on the charger just keeps blinking. After 2 sessions of charging for several hours, I gave up. I searched online and found out a lot of people also had this problem with this camera’s battery.
Century Eggs
I remember seeing an episode of Fear Factor a long time ago where they ate century eggs and all the contestants were getting grossed out. I thought it was pretty ridiculous because I think century eggs are delicious. Either Fear Factor purposedly prepared the eggs to smell / taste really bad or the contestants were faking it. Or perhaps they just had a preconception of century eggs and their mind did the rest. Either way it’s a misrepresentation of this dish. I don’t eat it often but when I do I definitely enjoy the dish.
Baited?
Someone tried to ‘bait’ me into making a move today but I sort of left them hanging (that sounds harsher than it really was and no, I’m not going to be more specific about it). I always either read too much into something or I’m too dense to take a hint. Either way, it gets me into situations I don’t like. There happens to be history with this person that took me a while to put behind me. To be honest, I was tempted but I’m not walking down the same path again if it’s unlikely to go anywhere.
Happy New Year 2008
Well it’s my first post of the new year and I’d love to impart wisdom or some useful insight into life but I don’t really have much to share. So let me just say I hope this new year brings good things to everyone. Idleness is the holiday of fools! That’s my motto and it’s from a fortune cookie I got several years ago. I should’ve just taken credit for the quote

Valuable Host Sucks
I’ve been blogging for a while now but the reason there’s nothing before November 2003 is because my previous web host, Valuable Host, deleted all of my data before I could retrieve it. I probably mentioned them in the past several years ago, but I don’t think I have on this blog so I think it’s about time. The reason I even bring this up is because I was going through some old posts adding some tags, and it reminded me of Valuable Host. So here’s why Valuable Host sucks..
Megan Fox is Insanely Hot
Megan Fox is absolutely gorgeous. I noticed her before in photos with her has-been boyfriend (the 90210 dude) but I didn’t know who she really was before Transformers. Nobody did. When the commercial spots started airing on TV, I just thought.. “holy heck, who the hell is THAT?!” No doubt about it, she’s #1 in my “top 5″ list. This isn’t a typical post for me but I couldn’t help it.
Feast your eyes on the beauty:
