Bleach filler versus Naruto filler

ElementZero | November 26, 2008

Although Filler episodes are something I could definitely do without (although they are a neccessary evil in order to allow the manga to advance farther since the Anime catches up so quickly), I must say that the filler episodes to Bleach are MUCH better than the crap filler from Naruto.

Plot
Basically Naruto just does these one off (or maybe a series of like up to five) episodes that… Continue reading

Camping in the tent

ElementZero | November 21, 2008

My father-in-law had an old tent that he wasn’t planning on using anymore, so he gave it to us. It’s a three man dome tent, with a nice big window on the back.

Anyways, I had set the tent up to make sure all the pieces were there, and they boys really seems excited. I know there is this episode of Ni Hao Ki-lan (a Nick Jr. cartoon show… Continue reading

Farm Mania

ElementZero | November 21, 2008

So my wife and I played this game called Farm Mania last night. Basically it’s kind of like Diner Dash, except this time it’s a farm – where you have to feed and water your animals, as well as grow plants, make honey and pie’s and stuff.

The game is pretty good, although I do have to say that the upgrades need to some improvement. For instance near about… Continue reading

Dead Space

ElementZero | November 20, 2008

So I’m playing this game now called “Dead Space” that recently came out. While I believe you can play it on the XBox 360 or the Playstation 3, it is a FPS and therefore I would not recommend playing it unless you are on the PC. I never understood FPS on a console – you don’t have a mouse, therefore you cannot be precise, therefore they have to change the… Continue reading

Pumpkin Party!

ElementZero | November 18, 2008

As every family does, we went and picked out a pumpkin and carved it for Halloween this year…well…we actually got five pumpkins and carved three of them out this year. The first three we got from the pumpkin patch, and the other two were presents from the Green Meadows Farm.

Anyways, the boys loved picking out the pumpkins. For some reason Ethan is only interested in Gourds, not… Continue reading

Having fun at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

ElementZero | November 18, 2008

So a friend of my wife found out about these special tickets that were on sale to Disney’s Animal Kingdom for $32 a piece. Not surprisingly, we jumped at the tickets and wound up going just a few weeks ago. It’s been quite a while since I went, so I was pretty stoked. :)

The first thing we did when we got there was head over and see the… Continue reading

WhoCanISue.com A.K.A. How to be a jackass

ElementZero | November 18, 2008

So I was going down I-4 yesterday when I noticed a billboard for WhoCanISue.com. I just have to say, you have to be a complete jackass of an attorney to create a website like this. According to the site, their website’s purpose is to

whocanisue.com is a patent-pending online application where you can learn about potential legal claims that you may have in a variety of legal

Visiting the Green Meadows Petting Farm

ElementZero | November 17, 2008

We went to the Green Meadows petting farm in Kissimmee, FL recently. We had gone a while back, but Logan was nothing but a few months old and Ethan was pretty tiny at the time too – having them be older was much more fun. The farm has all sorts of animals, from common farm animals like ducks, chickens and cows, to not so common farm animals like the ostrich… Continue reading

Macross Frontier

ElementZero | November 13, 2008

I finished watching Macross Frontier, the newest addition to the Macross saga, last night. It marks the 25th anniversary of Macross (the series that was changed to Robotech in the United States). Because of this, there is lots of references back to the older series such as Macross, Macross II, Macross Plus and Macross 7. For instance, at the beginning of Macross Frontier, the main character Alto has to save… Continue reading

Fixing 404 errors on invalid URL’s with ASP.NET’s URL Rewrite

ElementZero | November 13, 2008

So my boss where I work noticed that Google was showing 404 error’s in our Google webmaster tools, and that many of those 404’s are on invalid URL’s. With a site as big as ours, I wouldn’t say it would be uncommon to have other sites linking to our content and they mess up the URL in the link, but in any case since we are big on SEO and… Continue reading
