I was about 5 miles from the epicenter on the fourth floor of a building. Here is a link to the geological survey for the quake. Apparently it was a 5.4. For about 15 seconds my head was up in ahh, and totally spaced out. Then i realized that was probably really stupid and i crawled under my desk like a hamster. Pretty crazy, even afterwards the building was still rolling around like a teter toter. So now we get to the photos im posting, basically my there is a place at my company where some of us park because its out of the way (so when we come in late no one will know). Well my friend parked there today, and the freakin light pole crashed down onto his car. I wonder how it works for insurance, is there a natural disaster, or is he screwed?

Ive been playing guitar for about 2 years, but the change to drums is so much fun. Everyone should try to play multiple instruments, and in the end i also end up saving money cause im playing the instruments instead of going to bars or whatever. So last saturday i had a dentist appointment, which wasnt that bad but still sucked. Afterwards me and my friend usually have a routine of going to guitar center and wasting money on stuff. This time around however i was armed with GC Credit card and no interest payments for 15 months. So guess what i wanted to buy?! you guessed it, a Simmons SD7K Electronic Drum Set.

525887jpg.jpg Not an expensive drum set at all, but when you add on a new amp and base drum peddle the bill was up to 1200. Being the my card only went up to 700, i started bargaining. He got it down to 766 with a manager discount.. Now stop and think about that….a 500 dollar discount. Pretty damn uber. Then to top it all off he got me a credit card limit raise to make it fit on my credit card.

In fact im always late and usually end up getting flowers/card/movie combo (its like a video game, maybe if i throw in a box of truffles ill get a x4 multiplier to my points). I don’t think thats gonna fly this year though. As it stands i have a couple websites, one of which sells Get Well Gift baskets. So I went’a truckin for a gift basket for my mommy, and long behold i had a page for Mothers day gift baskets. Makes it pretty simple doesnt it.

Ok that sounded lame, lemme give you some history as to why I didnt know that i had a page for gift baskets. Basically in 2006 i started building my own eccomerce company, and after it was all said and done i gave it to my parents becuase i just didnt have the time to manage them. Now my only dilemma is trying to get the basket without my mom finding out becuase she see’s all orders.

Check it out you might be surprised what i have to offer on my site :)

As it stands i completely forgot to set up a computer for a new hire, so i thought i would get in early. Unfortunately the new hire still beat me in. Well all said and done its nine o’clock and i just finished getting her all dialed in. My daily routine usually consists of checking all my email, hitting youtube, digg, and then checking my websites. So i got to my website and long behold i have a PR rating of 2. Uber usually when i check my PR it says “Website does not exist in records”. Pretty damn cool. I also jumped to page one for my name Jason Rogers.

I checked my pr with this tool prchecker.info. Oh and for all those that dont know. PR stands for Page Rank. Its how google ranks websites out of 0/10.

So i picked this game up mid 2007 on PC. Great game except for the fact that i couldn’t run it very well, so i pretty much put it aside. Well recently after purchasing a PS3 i bought this game again. Damn ive spent 120 bucks on this game. A side note: You need to play on a large HD, i have a 1080i 57inch, and its uber.

So far the game is pretty cool, but i believe it really picked up when i entered the shivering isles. Its a constant epic tale where the decisions you make change everything. Basically there are two areas, the upper half and lower half of the isle. The upper is controlled by Mania and in turn is pretty beautifull to look at. In inverse is the lower half is controlled by Dementia and it looks pretty dark and evil. Mania is full the creative artists and philosopher who are out of there minds. Dementia is essentially a load of people that are sickly near dieing. They steal and kill and are pretty much really sadistic. Along the story you essentially get to choose your side among several different points. I choose mainy the Mania side. Basically the side you pick determines slightly some of the items you pick. Like Mania the side i picked i get a lot of light armor that gives stats that benefit magic.

I only have one major problem so far. My brother was playing on it and got bit by a vampire, so he went and did the quest to cure it. Long behold the quest wouldnt complete and he got stuck as a vampire. After some research online i found that the ps3 version is glitched and if you dont cure vampirism within 3 days, your essentially stuck as a vampire.

So all in all i give the game 9/10. I love the expansion, but the normal oblivion game is just good..not uber.

Tomorow happens to be leap year, and the first time ive noticed. So as follows im doing research to figure it out. I can think of a few theories. The most being that our lunar year is off slightly so we compensate every four years with an extra day. Hmm. Maybe it has something to do with the time changes twice a year, however im pretty sure those are just a waste of time. There just a way for the farmers to get an extra couple hours during planting season. Which to me is a waste of time for the rest of us. Ok maybe there is no connection that i can see for the that last one, but i wanted to complain anyways.

So i simply went to wikipedia and found this “In the Gregorian calendar, the current standard calendar in most of the world, most years that are divisible by 4 are leap years. In a leap year, the month of February has 29 days instead of 28. Adding an extra day to the calendar every four years compensates for the fact that a solar year is almost 6 hours longer than 365 days.” Check it out here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leap_year. There is mroe info on it.

Kinda solves it all. I guess i was right on my first theory.
