With the recent decline in the performance of the Arizona DiamondBacks, one must wonder why it is happening. My guess, is that the rise in the Mexican population of Arizona is spooking them. I mean think about it, more Mexicans means more Mexican Flags. And what is on the Mexican flag?

That’s right! An eagle shanking a diamondback rattlesnake with its beak. Seeing this all over the place would reduce my morale if I was part of the team. Its like if the Raider Nation were carrying around pictures of Indians getting brutally murdered and raped when the Redskins came to town. I’m sure it would mess with their head too!

I have had a spare 1G thumb drive lying around, a gimme from a conference my company went to, and really haven’t decided what to do with it yet. In lieu of this, I went searching for some distros to put on it. Obviously the prime choice is Damn Small Linux but I wanted to see what else was available. After some fine Google searching, I came across Fedora 9’s new Live USB Creator

Now, I know all good admins hate Fedora with a passion, but hey, this is for the sake of testing stuff out!

So I downloaded the tool via this link: Download

Once you download, extract, and run the exe, you get this screen:

Here is where the tool excels immediately:

You can use an existing live cd you have downloaded to your pc, or you this tool will download it for you.

Here are the different distros you can choose from:

I did not have an active live cd on my machine, so I let the tool download one for me. I went with Fedora 9 KDE , as Fedora doesn’t seem like Fedora without a GUI .

The persistent overlay function is highly valuable as it sets your working storage space. Typically you will want to set this to at least 205M but, ultimately this is up to you.

So, I was able to finally test out the USB key, and man, the new KDE is amazing. Almost makes me want to take out my centos system and load in this new Fedora 9. Fortunately though, I wont be as CentOS is better for OpenVZ .

So, in summary, this system is truly bad ass, especially for you rack monkeys out there that are tired of live cds, and want to make easy live keys.

Yeah, looks pretty goofy, but since it has Notorius BIG in the sound track, I can let that go.

Steve was on the Daily Show being funny, because that is what he does, hes Steve Carell

Though, in defense of the thong, I am not surprised that’s all that shot off.

So today I have decided to experiment with my sources of production in the workplace(caffeine).

Today’s experiment involved these lovely products:

Empire today has this new “banned” poster for Teeth, the boring movie with the provocative subject.  The poster features an X-Ray image of lead character Dawn O’Keefe’s pelvis and her extra set of teeth. The teeth, however, aren’t her only problem.  The poor girl clearly suffers from scoliosis.

Trent Reznor, if you don’t get your music automatically placed into this movie, you have failed and should be sacrificed to the man eating vagina gods.

So despite it looking absolutely horrendous, You don’t mess with the Zohan really wasn’t that bad.  Adam Sandler did great as he wasn’t playing Adam Sandler doing a giant SNL skit.  Even though there was an excessive amount of hacky sack and hummus, it was pretty hilarious if you like the occasional goofy movie.  There are a few cameos from the likes of Chris Rock, Paul Mitchell, Mariah Carey, and Dave Matthews.  And yes, there are some lovely Israeli women for you to look at throughout the movie.
