Random Thoughts on Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D
(aka Leatherface 3D)

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything horror-related. In a world full of cheap Hollywood ripoffs (often masqueraded as ‘remakes’), sissy vampires, and a never-ending assembly line of zombies galore — there hasn’t been a whole lot going on to stimulate my interest as of late. With next summer’s Prometheus being the lone beacon of intrigue in this sea of rehash and staleness for some time, I was quite surprised when I started to hear about a new Texas Chainsaw Massacre film that actually sounds interesting.
First and foremost — this film is going to be a SEQUEL, not another silly remake. And not just any sequel, but a continuation of the original movie. That alone was enough to get my attention. As I began to follow the pre-production, I was pleasantly surprised to find an exhilarating ensemble of TCM alumni involved in this project.

Thoughts on Louisville beating Kentucky,
Taking back the Governor’s Cup
Reading Time: 5 minutesMight not sound like too much, especially to anyone outside this state. But, watching a program go from winning the BCS Orange Bowl, with a passionate head coach and a team comprised of hungry, vicious beasts…
Reading Time: 5 minutesTweet
Last weekend I watched as Louisville upset Kentucky in the Battle of the Bluegrass and took home the prestigious Governor’s Cup.
I remember last year, just before the rivalry game, during Charlie Strong’s inaugural season and the beginning of the Krag Holocaust cleanup. I made the comment on CardChronicle.com that if “UK gets us one more time while we’re weak, I’ll go ahead and say it’ll be the last time we lose to them for a while.” With Randall Cobb, Kentucky beat the Cards 23-16. No surprise there.
This year, however, I don’t understand why Louisville were the underdogs despite it being a road game. I think people put a little too much stock in the loss to FIU. Keeping in mind that FIU (currently 3-0 at the time of this publication) is a promising program on the rise, and Louisville were completely out of sorts in their first two games, the Cardinals were still able to compete with the Panthers and put themselves in a position to tie the game at the end and send it to OT. Kentucky, on the other hand, looked abysmal in both their first two games against Western KY and C. Michigan. As a fan I felt confident about the Battle of the Bluegrass this year, and the Cards did not disappoint. The tandem of Teddy Bridgewater and Dominique Brown proved to be too much for the Cats as Louisville walked out of Commonwealth Stadium with a 24-17 victory and the Governor’s Cup in hand for the first time since 2006.

Floyd Mayweather / Victor Ortiz Sucker Punch
Larry Merchant PUNKS Floyd Mayweather
Reading Time: 2 minutesLast night the boxing world got treated to yet another healthy dose of Floyd Mayweather. Take a look at the video below. First off, major kudos to Larry Merchant for providing us the highlight of the night by punking Mayweather out in front of the world. Nicely done and well deserved. I’m sure the few Floyd supports that are left out there will defend his actions by saying Ortiz shouldn’t have headbutted him.

First off, major kudos to Larry Merchant for providing us the highlight of the night by punking Mayweather out in front of the world. Nicely done and well deserved. Floyd took a giant crap right on the sport and the fans by sucker-punching Victor Ortiz, then went on an unprofessional tirade straight out of the ghetto. Wouldn’t be surprised if he and his ignorant cronies broke into Merchant’s car and stole his stereo before heading to the hotel, just to put an exclamation point on the disgrace they left in the ring.

Hacking My HTC Thunderbolt
Reading Time: 3 minutesI have to say the process for cracking HTC’s most locked-down phone to date isn’t nearly as difficult as some of the online walkthroughs may have you believe. Contrarily, the process is fairly simple when you follow directions and understand exactly what you’re dealing with.
Reading Time: 3 minutesGot the Thunderbolt this week and have been hard at work researching and familiarizing myself with unlocking and rooting. Those of you who follow my Twitter page saw that I successfully rooted a couple nights ago. And, I have to say the process for cracking HTC’s most locked-down phone to date isn’t nearly as difficult as some of the online walkthroughs may have you believe. Contrarily, the process is fairly simple when you follow directions and understand exactly what you’re dealing with. Since there is no (and likely won’t be a) one-click root method by unrevoked due to the complexity of this phone, the process is broken down into multiple steps that involve using ADB Shell.
After thoroughly reading the official guide on xda’s forum, I began with nat3mil’s youtube video, How to Root the HTC Thunderbolt, Setting up ADB – Step 1 to familiarize myself with ADB Shell and make sure I got the correct drivers for the Thunderbolt set up. The walkthrough nat3mil provides is thorough and very easy to follow. I hacked the driver file to read the Thunderbolt, and moved on to his second video, How to Root the HTC Thunderbolt – Version 2.5. In this walkthrough, nat3mil shows you step-by-step how to crack the seal on the Thunderbolt and root. As advised on xda, I decided to keep the official guide pulled up as a fail safe fallback if something explained in the video didn’t make sense or differed at all from what they recommend. I was pleasantly surprised that there was only two instances when I questioned the video.
The first was during the temp root downgrade, right around the 5:23 mark. To save time, nat3mil transitions from the SD card reading the files and jumps straight to the update complete mark where you restart the phone. What he fails to mention is that his transition skips the step of H-Boot restarting before the actual update installs, which left me wondering if I had done something wrong or if I should go ahead and reboot the phone as he advises. Thankfully, H-Boot reads the SD card a second time and THEN proceeds to install the update after which you restart the phone. I point this out because it left me a bit confused for a second. If I had gone ahead and restarted during the short interlude I might’ve bricked my phone. I’m not sure if this happens every time or if it was an incident isolated to just my experience. Either way, be advised it could happen and if so continue to wait it out until H-Boot actually tells you the update is complete and gives the option to restart. DO NOT pull your battery thinking you messed up and this will restart the process for you — BRICK.

Droid Incredible – Hidden 4G Setting Analyzed
Reading Time: 4 minutesAfter my recent “Hacking My Droid Incredible – Part 2” post I’ve been getting several emails regarding the alleged “4G hack”, asking if there really is a hidden 4G setting and is it possible to rig the Incredible to operate on Verizon’s 4G LTE network.
The short answers — yes and no.

After my recent Hacking My Droid Incredible – Part 2 post I’ve been getting several emails regarding the alleged 4G hack, asking if there really is a hidden 4G setting and is it possible to rig the Incredible to operate on Verizon’s 4G LTE network.
The short answers — yes and no.
Yes, there is a hidden 4G setting on the Incredible. Despite some calling the rumor a hoax, I can confirm that the setting is indeed there. The easiest way to find it is to download gesture search from the Android market and search “4G” by simply drawing it on your screen within the app. If you draw it legibly, the result will find the hidden 4G setting, pictured below.
*These screens are directly from my own Incredible. You can rest assured they are legit.*

How LeBron James deals with FAIL
Reading Time: 2 minutesFor a guy who makes the ball boy scrape his clothes off the floor instead of politely handing them to him as he reaches; for a guy who makes fun of another professional athlete after he had the guts to play with a 100+ degree temperature; for a guy who insults the entire working class of America because they couldn’t help but laugh when he FAILED once again after this side show carnival…

“At the end of the day, all of the people that were rooting for me to fail, tomorrow they’ll have to wake up and have the same life that [they had] before they woke up today. They got the same personal problems they had today and I’m going to continue to live the way I want to live and continue to do the things I want to do.”
-LeBron James
Really? This is how you deal with fail???? After you sold your soul and whored out Cleveland, somehow blaming them because YOU were not good enough to win a championship? Dragging on The Decision like a Brett Favre Summer Special (still love ya, Brett). Taking your drama to South Beach to form a super group at Miami and hyping yourselves out of the park.
Anything less than a championship = fail? Hey, you said it.

Yea, we wake up the way we were the day before. We go to work, punch the clock, and deal with our lives. You go out and probably blow $10,000 twice a day, just because you can. You have millions, we don’t. Yep — we’re us and you’re you.
And we have the same number of rings.
Bitch.
