Weekend Stuff -Steve
How many of you have the Photoshop skillz required
to make a nice WinAmp Skin for Hypothermia?? I am currently using our [H]ard|OCP
WinAmp skin that I bastardized into a Hypothermia skin. . . but I really
want one of my own. If I get a little feedback on this ( ie: you guys
would like one. . .) I'll hold an official contest, and dish out a
decent prize for one. . . this is what I am using right now
Fri.
04.27.01 -Steve
I have reached a point where I have enough prize
stuff. . . but I have NO IDEA what to offer up next. So I am gonna try
out a little idea. . . letting you guys decide what should be next. It's
pretty simple, follow the link and click on what you'd like to see given
away next. You can vote as many times as you'd like. . . so give it
hell.

with 3 - 4 interviews right now, so to keep you guys busy in the mean
time, more CONTEST STUFF!! I have a complete watercooling kit from them
cool ass guys at Overclockers
Hideout. I am including everything to watercool the CPU ( both

you name it. . . . Check it out.
So

Wow -Steve
In some aspects, I am a lucky. . . lucky man. I
spoke with Lisa Dixon's main squeeze, Jason Hall, and he caught me up to
date on Lisa's busy schedule etcetera. We will be sitting Lisa down for
a few questions so we can catch you up to date with her ( magazine
appearances and such ) as well as show off her brand new LOOK. We are
also hooking up a little downloadable video action too. . . . damn guys,
life is good. Check out Lisa's area
Weekend
Stuff -Steve
And with both of our "one day" contest winners picked, it's
time to start working on another giveaway... Oh, and just because it
kicks so much ass to see Asia Carrera and my website in the same
picture, I'll post this one. Mmmmm. . . . check out Kitten Little ( the
kitty ) inspecting the hardware. We are turning Asia into a Watercooling
Nerd like me now.

Although I haven't posted all of the info on the KGR4 page yet. . . . I
have damn near everything together for the KGR4. It will again be an AMD
powered bad ass machine. And for the extra little kick, it'll be a DDR
system to boot!! I am in serious need of a MONITOR SPONSOR
though. So if you work for a company that makes monitors, or something
close. . . give me a buzz. Or
just shoot your favorite monitor company an e-mail asking them WHY they
don't sponsor the KGR contests!!!!

RESCUE **update**

Heh. . . there is a bright side to everything,
sometimes you have to look really hard. . . othertimes it's staring you
right in the face. My wife car caught on fire in the grocery store
parking lot while she was shopping the other day. It burnt to the
ground. What is the "bright side" of that??
Check out one of the new fire trucks we have in our town. . . . yeah
baby.
Koolness
with Koolance -Steve
I just finished up my review of the complete
"off the shelf" watercooling system by Koolance for [H]ardOCP.
I'll tell you guys, the thing kicks major ass. The damn thing is cheaper
than most "blowhole" cases out there. . . I may end up using
it for an upcoming KGR. . . yeah buddy!!
Tuesday the
17th -Steve
You guys will remember that awhile back I had a clamp on my watercooling
system "pop" and the result was a torched 1GHz T-bird. . .
right? I had talked with Kyle ( the king of dead T-birds ;^) about
making a keychain and giving it away. . and I totally spaced. Well. . I
cam across it again the other day. . . so here we go. By tomorrow night.
. I will give this thing away to someone. Same rules to all contests,
apply here. . . get in there and win it!!
Monday the
16th -Steve
I have updated the contest page, the Core and
ThermoEngine heatsink / fan winners have been picked. I have one slight
problem, the winner of the Core HSF responded, but has yet to get back
to me for confirmation. So, for one day only I am taking entries for
someone to win this $80 HSF unit from Overclockers
Hideout. And if you are H.S. Ibarra, please contact me about your
prize, I am giving it away ;^)
Head
over to the contest page to enter
Friday the
13th -Steve
Got some interview stuff coming your way. . . I
have some winners to announce, and for the hell of it, I might even kick
off some more game giveaways to boot. Been working at the OCP
alot lately, and am currently reviewing an assload of stuff as well. . .
I'll let everyone know tonight how the CAT scan turned out too. ( mucho
easier than an MRI...for sure )
Mon 4.09.01 -Steve
Well, I'm off to get a CAT
Scan today. . . apparently there is a bulge in my L5-S1 that
protrudes out the center toward the spinal column ( nerves ). If you
remember, I had the MRI
( where they stick you in a big tube ) which "see's" soft
tissue better, and now I am off for the CAT Scan which "see's"
bone better. Heh. . . . if they wanted to see my bone, damn...they
coulda just asked ;^)
Wish me luck.
Weekend -Steve
Well, as much bitching as I have done about
wanting a Hercules Game Theater XP and some nice Surround Sound Speakers
for the KGR4 ( heh, and maybe an extra set for myself ;^) . . . I still
haven't got jack. I think I need to fine tune my begging skills. What I
DO have for you today, is my next giveaway. . . FOUR
SETS OF SURROUND SOUND SPEAKERS
and a MAXI SOUND MUSE SOUNDCARD to go with each one. We're
not talking state of the art here, but I personally paid for these
puppies myself. Each bundle is worth about $125.00 each. . . so no
complaining ;^) I had to decide between buying the all-out sound system
for the KGR4 or get these for you guys. . . looks like you win.
( now... if I could just
get a Hercules Game Theater XP and Klipsch ProMedia's donated to the KGR
4, I'd be happy )

More giveaway action coming up. . . . deciding on what will be next.
Will get some of my interview stuff rolling soon as well. Stay tuned.
Thanks to ALL of you
who have sent in the kind e-mail and well wishes. It means a lot to me,
and really helps out when you have something like this happen.

Hey guys. . . a handful of you know this already, but I thought I'd
catch everyone up to speed here with what has been going on with me.
About three and a half weeks ago, I was fairly seriously injured on the
job. . . my real job. I work at the airport here in town, managing all
the food and beverage facilities. The company I work for is responsible
for managing all the bars and restaurants ( Cheers,
Starbucks, Chili's Too, Cinnebon, FoodCourt, TCBY, Burger King etc.
) in damn near every major airport in the U.S. .
I had gotten a call from one
of the bartenders at Cheers saying they needed some kegs changed, the
beer was "out". If you'll notice in the photos, the kegs are
stacked end to end, anything more than a breeze will knock them over,
and while bending over and checking to see which of the kegs was empty,
the stack behind me toppled over, striking me in the lower back.
Bad
news is, I see the chiropractor 4 times a week, and had to go
in for an MRI. .
.it's where they stick you in the big CAT scan tube and get pictures
etc.. . . sucks ass.
The
good news is, after I get most of my
doctors appointments settled down, the Workman's Comp stuff taken care
of. . . I will have a lot more time to get things done around here. . .
I'll be able to devote more time to begging for FREE STUFF to give away.
. etc. Since it's not to hard to use a keyboard and mouse, I'll be able
to devote more time to you guys. Cool???
So now you
know "what's up" with me. . . .
April Fool's
Day -Steve
Hey gang, just tied up the Serious Sam
competition. . . the winners will have their copies sent out in the A.M.
Congrats to our winners. I will have some new contest info up and out
soon. . . will be cool for sure. So look for that tomorrow or the next
day.
Countdown
to E3 -Steve
Well, with all my E3 2001 stuff rolling in, I
can't help but think of last years E3. I got to meet the biggest names
in the industry. . . and then some. Hung out with some of the coolest
MoFo's on the planet ( Levelord, Jason Hall, Xian Antkow, Tom Hall, John
Romero, Lisa Dixon, Asia Carrera. . etc. ), one of those cool MoFo's was
IceT who was there promoting Sanity: Aiken's Artifact for Monolith /
Fox. I happened to get IceT to autograph a shirt or two for me, since
Jason and I spent half the day standing a foot away from him. I am
giving away one of these shirts to kick off the countdown to E3 2001. .
. . GET IN THERE AND WIN! ! !
Speaking
of last years E3. . . check out the coverage HERE.
