I haven’t been bullploppin for quite a while. I’ve moved on to other blogs. I’ve got two which are still active. If you’re interested, you can find info about my professional life or my personal life at either of these links.
I may hold on to this domain name for a while, but [...]
Is that really a post with Will Ferrell dressed as an elf? Is that seriously the last thing I’ve posted. Guess so. Now it’s February and this is the first post of the new year.
I did a demo of wordpress for one of the Senior VPs at work today and it [...]
I hope you all enjoy the holidays this year. I know this guy will. Click the picture to watch a few minutes from my favorite scenes in the elf movie, or go to Elf Movie.com for more fun.
This would cut down on traffic at the mall. (May not be safe at work)
Do you speak Japanese? Are you worried about being mugged in English and want a few handy phrases to get you by? Do you like aerobics and dancing? Then this video is for you.
I never enjoy sorting socks in my regular life, but for some reason sorting them online is kind of fun.
Play this game to try it out. Drag the socks around until you find it’s pair.
I don’t have to do homework again. Ever again.
I’ve been a student since the summer of 2003, and I won’t lie. I didn’t study every weekend, but I always felt like I should. The stress of being in school doesn’t come from the time studying, but the time spent thinking about studying. [...]
My favorite rivalry game of the year is today. Sure, the SC vs. Notre Dame rivalry is huge because both teams are in the national title hunt and the bruins have had another crappy year, but still. The schools are a few miles apart and LA’s fanbase is divided between the two. [...]
I’ve been looking forward to this game all year. Today the top 2 teams in the Pac 10 square off. Cal was a top ten team until their unexpected loss last week. The winner of this game is pretty much guaranteed a Rose Bowl berth. It’s huge.
And I’m not watching [...]
There hasn’t been fresh bullplop in quite a while. I’ve been blogging, though not all the time. Recently I’ve wanted to blog about USC football we had a great trip up to see them survive a scary close call against ASU. I still haven’t even managed to get the pictures off my [...]
I’m trying to import this blog into word press. Why? Because it is there.

I wanted to post something about the Aretha Franklin concert we went to on sunday. First, yes, she can still sing even though she’s 65. She was wearing a cast on her foot and said a little about going to see the doctor in LA, but never mentioned how she hurt it and [...]
John David Booty lead the Trojans to a 28-10 victory on Saturday. It can’t be easy to follow up not one, but two Heisman winning quarterbacks. In his 2 games he’s played well- 6 TDs and 0 INT. Not a bad start. We’ll see how he develops throughout this year and [...]
It really is a great time of the year. I’m home watching the USC home opener. This time of year every team’s still a contender, we’re still curious who will be good.. and it’s still too soon to give up on anyone.
This is the Trojan’s first test- we’re at home against [...]
So the folks at Chevy decided to have a little contest- and they thought they’d open it up to the public. They did what they did on the Apprentice. They put up video clips, audio, and let the people come up with the ad for them. The results were not what they [...]
I learn all kinds of good things from my buddy Robin. The latest is a group called The Flight of the Conchords, a couple guys from New Zealand group who does funny songs. He turned me on to this site that has some of their videos. I’m checking them all out, but [...]

The other morning I saw a small stopsign with a sticker that said “Hammer Time,” so the boring sign no longer said “stop”, but “stop, hammertime. ”
It hit me so funny that I laughed about it all day. It hit me funny for a couple [...]
While killing time during some software installs I came across this video of a chimp playing Ms. Pac Man.
Amazing for a number of reasons… the chimp is good enough at Ms Pacman to clear a level, that the broadcast is in English and Japanese, that the primatologist was even able to get the [...]
Yesterday I went looking for the preview of the Borat Movie: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan and was reminded of just how cool youtube is. There were hundreds of video clips of my main man Borat, including this shocking interview with Conan O’Brian. Without watching this clip [...]
I’ve been looking forward to July 4th for nearly a year. Our rooftop’ll have a great view of all the fireworks tonight, and our friends are coming over for BBQ, potato salad, and the show.
From what I hear the bay will be packed all day today. Aside from the nightmare of parking, I’m [...]

Heather is getting a nice new engagement ring. We had a beautiful time in Yosemite. My proposal was a total shock to her and I literally got to shout how much I love her from a mountain after she said yes.
I ended my bachelor life in style… throwing [...]
Heather’s friends, Sarah and Drew, are on their first trip to California to celebrate Sarah’s graduation. Later this afternoon, we’re celebrating by getting in a minivan and going up to Yosemite for 3 days of backpacking. We drive up today, then hike Tues, Wed, Thurs, in Ansel Adam’s favorite spot. Somewhere atop a trail [...]
It’s 7:30 in the morning and I’d generally be headed up to sorrento valley on the 5. Instead, I’m headed out the door for a little bike ride around Crown Point. I have a coffee place where I like to stop and then will loop around and head off to the ocean. [...]

Who was the first to use the ODEO box? BJ.
Testing to see if I could put up an odeo voicemail box. The way this should work is that anyone with a built in microphone can click and then talk to their web browser and it will leave a message.
Update: It does work. I can do something like this for my podcast [...]
One of the things I’ve been doing instead of blogging has been writing speeches.
For about 3 months, I’ve been going to Toastmaster early on thursday mornings. A group of about 20 meet at 7 AM to spend 90 minutes together, working on public speaking. I’ve found it a really good experience, and [...]

The last time i saw my iPod nano was fat Tuesday. I looked for it far and wide… I kept thinking I’d find it in a pair of pants, tucked away with something, or see it and have an ah-ha moment. That’s right! That’s where I put it. But that moment [...]
Today one of the bright points of work was when someone forwarded me a link to watch this guy, Chris Bliss juggle to Beatles tunes. Its impressive how he times his juggling with the music, and is 4 minutes well spent.. Or so I thought.
So tonight I was looking it up on [...]
