ASUS Motherboards
I’ve had three ASUS brand motherboards die on me in the past four years. Number three died just this morning. It’s coincidental and ironic, as I just placed an order for new hardware yesterday – including a brand new model from ASUS. Granted, I haven’t been buying their high end models and I do demand more from my hardware than the average user.
However, the fact remains that ASUS quality control has really slipped as the company has increased in size and their focus has shifted more toward the laptop and netbook market.
Fortunately, I still have the old 1.3GHz Celeron based machine from which I am currently posting. I’m actually kind of looking forward to using this old box for a few days while I wait for my new parts to arrive. The video card in this tower is an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro, the most famous AGP video card ever released.

Amazing Uses for Baking Soda
Baking soda is amazing. Here are just a few of the things that you can do with it, other than baking:
Toothpaste
You can brush your teeth with a paste made from baking soda and water. It’s good for your teeth, cheap, and it doesn’t leave much of an aftertaste.
Safer Drain Cleaner
You can unclog a drain with one cup of baking soda, one cup of white vinegar, and a gallon boiling water. Just pour the baking soda into the drain first, then slowly pour in the vinegar, let it sit for five minutes, and then pour the boiling water down to clear the drain.
Fire Retardant
You can put out small grease or oil fires by dousing them in baking soda.
Natural Deodorant
You can use baking soda in a pinch if you’re out of deodorant.
Settle Your Stomach
Got indigestion? Mix half a teaspoon of baking soda with half a cup of water and drink it down. It’s a safe, natural antacid.

Friend: I met a midget at the bar last night.
Mr. Pink: I’m already giggling but I’m going to ask you, anyway.
Mr. Pink: How’d that go?
Friend: Let’s just put it this way.
Friend: It’s a really awkward feeling when you’re receiving oral sex and you have to get down on your knees.
<silence>
Mr. Pink: I’m sending you the bill for cleaning my office.
Friend: What?
Mr. Pink: I just sprayed coffee everywhere.

Paulaner Hefe-Weizen
I realized that I haven’t made a beer post in quite a while, so I’m starting 2009 right!
I’ve been drinking a fair amount of Paulaner Hefe-Weizen lately. It’s a great natural wheat beer brewed in Munich, Germany. This one’s been around since 1634, which is a hell of a long time to be in business no matter what it is that you do.
A lot of people can taste banana in this beer but I personally don’t get that at all. The taste does have a distinct blend of wheat, caramel, spice, and honey, though. It goes down smooth but has a bit of carbonation and a bite. If you like that sort of brew, then this one’s for you.

Food Porn Daily
A former coworker sent me a link to Food Porn Daily today. No, it’s not an adult site. (I know – I was a bit disappointed, too.) However, it is a great site. Check out the recipes. Looks tasty to me.

Stinky Feet? Get Some Vodka!
There’s an interesting article on a blog called Divine Caroline about the many uses for vodka – other than getting completely shitfaced, that is.
I’d heard about a few of the suggestions on the list but the one that really made me go, “Well, I’ll be damned,” was the bit about stinky feet. Apparently, vodka does a bang-up job of stopping funky feet in their tracks.
…not that my feet smell bad or anything.

Factual Error Found On Internet
I don’t normally read The Onion but a friend of mine just sent me the link to this article. If you remember The Brady Bunch and you’ve ever had the, “It’s on the Internet so it must be true,” argument, then you’re going to love this.
