It’s Just Justin

Another Prank Voicemail

I know who is sending these and while I actually kind of enjoy their humor, I do hope the people doing them don’t actually think I have ever fallen for the voicemail.  This one is from 314-757-1386 from Ladue Missouri

Anyway, I have gotten three or so of these voicemails and like I said, I enjoy them to some degree.  But… Let’s get real.  You dug through my dumpster to find my old discarded prescription medications.

Here’s the voicemail. 

And now a friendly message from Sister Maria

Calibrize Isn’t So Dumbassy

I was a little to hard on the Calibrize people… I admit it.  I guess it’s the moodswings I’m getting these days ;-)

The creator of the software was kind enough to make a comment regarding why there are macs on the website when the software doesn’t work on a Mac, unless you run Windows on the Mac using Bootcamp or some similar software.

By Igor on Feb 22, 2008

Hi,
I’m the idiot who came up with that software so I guess I should explain.
The pictures is what we have. We use Macs. However, most of our customers use Windows and are therefor missing out on the built in calibration utility that Apple ships with its computers. We simply made a (more or less) similar utility for Windows to at least get our customers in the right color ballpark.
Obviously, because there is no use for Calibrize on Mac, we never bothered to develop it.

So, anyways, they make a great piece of software that is free for those poor unfortunate souls who are stuck running Windows.

New Project?

I’m thinking about writing a book through a blog called Shit Magnet.  I seem to attract crappy things, vandalism, seizures, bad jobs, shitty roommates… Sometimes it just seems like the stories can’t be true but I swear, they are.  So what do you think?  Should I start a new site regarding these things and hopefully expand it into quite the humorous read?  I’d cross post onto this site and would go back in time to get old shitty things posted.

Thoughts?

Lighting Project

I’m supposed to be working on this lighting project for my photography class. Here are a few pics I took today using different techniques. Basically I used a really long shutter release and a handheld flash. Nothing spectacular but my first try at it.

I’ve the the crazy eyes in that pic… haha This next one I really like.

And this one just features a light box for soft light, my light “box” kinda sucks though, it is wrinkly. I’m gonna make my own that should work better.

Meanwhile, my computer is fritzing out on me. Check out my trash can.

Calibrize - It’s Not for Macs

If your software features ONLY Apple product displays on your website, shouldn’t it actually work with Macs? What idiots interesting choices.

Aperture 2 Released, Invalid?

Apple sent me a serial for the new Aperture 2 software which was released today.  I was pretty excited about installing it and getting to play around with the new goodies.  iPhoto seems to crap out on me around 20gb.  Right now I’m at about 40gb and, it’s just not panning out so well.  I guess it isn’t really iPhoto’s fault, it just wasn’t made to handle 4mb pictures, especially thousands of them.

So, Aperture fills the gap that iPhoto leaves.  They supposedly integrate but I have never been able to get my iPhoto to talk to the previous version of Aperture.  I was hoping I could use this new version but… Here’s what I get when I copy and past my serial.

Ugh.  Oh well, I guess I’ll just have to pick up a copy in the store instead.

600 watts of LOUD

I got myself an Oster 4242 “Now With 600 watts of Power” today. I needed it to replace my Starbucks Barista Blender which ate itself. It did, really it did.

Anyways, I unpacked the blender ($59.99 at Target), washed it out and proceeded to make my protein shake.

Some fat free soy milk, a scoop of Muscle Milke Lite and a handful of ice cubes.

So what can I say about the results? Well, it sure did blend well. That ice was abliterated.

But what of my hearing? This thing was fucking LOUD! So loud that I dug out my SPL meter and turned this thing back on.

• 108dB running with just the motor, no ice, no liquid, no blender top at all!
• 112db blending ice and liquid.

Some might not know how loud 112dB is. How about this chart from Galen Carol Audio.

That’s a little too loud for me. And despite its efficient ice chopping abilities and nice looks, this guy is going back to Target tomorrow. What good is a blender when it is so loud, you can’t even be in the same room when it is turned on?!
