Don Ed Hardy, fondly known as the “The Godfather of Modern Tattoo”, has undoubtedly revolutionized the way the world sees Tattoo Art. Over a decade ago, Tattoo Art seemed fit only for the skin of bikers and tough guys, but that is certainly no longer the case. Don Ed Hardy started out his career using traditional methods of painting before he became a Tattoo artist, and with the initiative of the impressive Frenchman Christian Audigier, Don Ed Hardy’s art is much sought after.
Don Ed Hardy was born in Iowa in 1945, but he and his family moved to Costa Mesa, California less than a year after he was born. He is known to be the first American tattoo artist to incorporate Japanese aesthetics and techniques to his designs. His love for tattooing was evident, even as a little boy. He would copy and design his own fake tattoos. It was only during his high school years that his interest in tattoo art took a backseat to his love for Kustom Kulture.

Check out these cool car logos. I found it on a site in Portuguese. You can visit the site here. It’s saying (according to Google translator)…
I had not seen these forms created by Dentsu Brazil, for Minichamps (those miniature cars almost perfect). Neles, quatro logos de carros famosos (Masserati, Ferrari, Jaguar e Lamborghini) são apresentados nas suas formas “infantis”: In them, four cars of famous logos (Masserati, Ferrari, Jaguar and Lamborghini) are presented in their ways “children”
Great concept. Mas só lembrando que os Minichamps são mais para se colecionar do que para brincar, diferente dos Matchboxs da Mattell. But just remembering that Minichamps are more to collect than to play, different from Matchboxs of Mattell.
Check this out! Just when you think you’ve seen it all, amazing sticky notes enter your life.
In an attempt to bring one of the most famous inventions of the 20th century into the digital age, scientists of the “Ambient Intelligence Group” at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed the “intelligent stickies”.
These are essentially Post-its with a twist - the notes written on them can be managed by a PC that will be able to remind users of any information stored on the small paper notes at the appropriate time, via a variety of digital devices. In a project that combines artificial intelligence, RFID, and ink recognition technologies, the MIT team says they have managed to make the popular sticky notes much more useful.

As I tend to do at work, I listen to XM Radio Online, and a song by Hole came on. Was Courtney Love ever good? Ever?
I guess I wouldn’t seem to think the crap she sang would EVER make up for the crap she does all the time. The whole Nirvana royalties, Kurt Cobain auction, etc. Here is another “celebrity” we should all IGNORE.
Let’s hope Dave Grohl gets everything he should, cuz he’s cool, and Courtney Love sucks.
One year after the tornado ripped through Iowa City, things have gotten back to near-normal. In the next week or so, I’ll be traveling around town, snapping shots of local stuff that has still been effected by this. Call it heart-warming if you will, but I like closure.
Edit - It’s been raining like mad out here for what seems like the last week. Once it dries up, photos will be taken…
Edit - Umm…. I’m lazy. And busy. I will take pics. I promise. Hopefully before the 2nd year anniversary.
So, apparently, MS gave itself an A+ in security for Vista. Yeah, I’m the smartest person in the world, according to my own research. Big company studies are fun, aren’t they?
Poor lady. She died from water toxicity trying to win a stupid $250 Wii for her kids. Read the whole thing.
Most people would call this drowning.
How can you check and display free disk space available on a FreeBSD server? The best way is using the command ‘df -h’ and here’s exactly what I found from doing some research online. Just type df, or type df -h for a more detailed look. I did this on one of my servers and here’s what it will look like…
$ df
