If you add the note “ho ho ho hat” or “ho ho ho beard” (without quotes) to a picture in your (or a friend’s) photostream, it’ll add a Santa hat or beard to your picture. Check out this picture for evidence.
Good job Flickr! By th way I found this via Sean Alexander who found it via BoingBoing.

-Pack of (Antiseptic) Alcohol and Iodine Wipes
-Sharper Image ToolLogic (Has a blade and a can/bottle opener in a credit card-sized form)
-3 12-inch Velcro Straps
-Various sized Adhesive Bandages
-Emergency Whistle (Maybe the most important thing here)
-Emergency Food Rations
-9 Four ounce emergency water packets
-2 One-Quart Plastic Zip-Top Bags

-1 Digital Watch
-1 Plastic Poncho

I also need some items for my kit, including replacing the emergency food and water as they’ve recently expired:

So, what’s in your emergency kit? Do you even have one? If not, why not?
Just click this link and revel in the glory of the Master Chief! God, I can’t wait until November 2007. Until then, I guess I’m going to have to download the trailer to my 360 and play the hell out of it.
While you’re drooling, if you have a XBOX Live Gold account, you can sign up for the beta as well.

Looks like someone online liked the music for the Gears of War Trailer so much, they remixed the HALO 3 trailer with it. It’s pretty inspired! Check it out! The audio cues work surprisingly well.
As I was cleaning out the garage last weekend ( a chore and a half…) I ran across the above picture of me and Eeyore at Grad Nite in Disneyland my Senior year of High School back in 1991.
Wow, look at the hair I had. Long, flowing hair. Thick locks of hair.
Damn…
Anyways, I have some memories of the night, key among them was falling in love with one of the singers of En Vogue (I can’t remember which on anymore honestly) and having to watch C&C Music Factory standing on a chair and having a security guard ask me to stop standing on the chair…
