Filed under: — admin @ 8:53 am

www.streeviewr.com is hilarious. It’s a listing of Google Street Views, the latest Google experiment of photographing from a street level several major cities. Some of the photos capture are well, what you would expect in some corners of San Francisco or New York. 3 out of 5

HowTo: Find Hidden Devices (B.A.R. Rating 3 out of 5)

Filed under: — admin @ 4:39 pm

Does rating your own video account? Perhaps. This one shows you how find previously attached devices on your computer. Every time you plug in an IPod, it leaves a little bit of information on your computer. You can always reference back to what you had plugged in, if you know this little trick. You paranoid types can keep an eye on what’s been plugged into your computer recently.

Chilaxin’ at Johnnie Mercer Pier in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina (B.A.R. Rating 5 out of 5)

Filed under: — admin @ 12:21 am

Sometimes the most bad ass thing you can do is, well, nothing at all. Or at least nothing so strenuous that it would require putting your beer down. Recently, two members of the BAR team took a trip down south to Wrightsville Beach, NC. Our final destination? The famed Johnnie Mercer Pier. The pier has been a Wrightsville Beach institution since the 1930’s but was almost destroyed by Hurricane Fran in 1996. After many years of rebuilding, the pier is back and better than ever. Some will argue that the old wooden pier was a more classic look but in this age of lawsuits, liability and unpredictable “acts of god” (i.e. hurricanes), I think the new concrete reinforced pier is a huge improvement.

Anyhow, you know that the B.A.R team doesn’t trust word of mouth, we have to check it for ourselves and report back to you what the real deal is. So off we went 400 miles to NC. The great thing about a 750 foot pier is that its easy to find. Just cross the bridge into Wrightsville Beach and you can’t miss it. The new and improved Johnnie Mercer Pier has a full size arcade, restrooms, snack bar and dining area attached to it now. Most important, they serve BEER. (more…)

UltimateBet.com - my other girlfriend (B.A.R. Rating 4 out of 5)

Filed under: — admin @ 10:42 am

Not even minute into the tournament and someone by the name of “Calamari” pushes all his chips into the pot. I guess my K 10 ain’t going to help me right now althought I suspect this eager beaver has hardly much of a hand himself. Everyone folds except for “Golf_Nut01″ who calls and shows pocket A’s. Whoa! Calamari’s hand shows 8 and 9 (I knew it, ya fink!). Golf_Nut01 is sitting pretty until the the he sees the flop. 8, and another 8, and then to seal the deal, a nasty 9. Goodbye Golf_Nut01, better stick to Putt Putt.

Despite this horrible suckout I just witnessed, I’m looking at Calamari and my chops are salivating. I’m going to clean this one up.

Ultimatebet.com is not for beginners. They may dispute that, but it’s their own fault. They have one of the best and quickest interfaces on the Net. There are no goofy “avatars” or cartoon like dealers. Easy to install, easy to add money, and the cards are delt feverishly… which may all be a good thing, or more likely a very very bad thing.
