Ever noticed how every Hollywood trailer is the same? Here’s the formula for an award-winning movie’s trailer:

Very cool, looks like a Costa Rican fighter (Ariel Sexton) made his way to the Ultimate Fighter’s 12th season (see video). Check out his audition video:

Cracked.com is known more for its humor but its latest article was a slam dunk. Read through the whole thing and it’ll make you think.

Can’t Get a Job? Maybe It’s Your Credit…

I came across an interesting story on Yahoo! Finance about job seekers having to consent to credit checks to prospective employers, sometimes just for the interview. Supposedly it’s under the guise of determining whether a prospective employee is responsible with their money.

But wait a second… what if you had awesome credit a year ago, then got laid off and can’t pay the bills? “You get in a Catch-22: You can’t pay your bills because you don’t have a job, and now you can’t get a job because you can’t pay your bills.”

That’s just wonderful.

Nice Beach… A Long Time Ago

Talk about a nice beach….

Anyone who lives in Costa Rica would be surprised to find out that this is downtown Puntarenas. Yes, that dirty smelly town with a beach you don’t want to swim in was a really nice spot back in the mid 20th century.

Here’s a treat for your ears… go to the iTunes preferences and turn off the sound “enhancer.” (Also feel free to remove Sound Check, it also screws with audio quality.)

You can thank me later.

I’m gonna have to start saving money.. for a car? Nope. For a house? Nope. For the Gibbs Aquada? Well, that too. But really I gotta save some money and get my hands on this:

It’s been a long time coming. While Arthur C. Clarke’s satellites have taken to space, and James Bond’s futuristic mobile technology has become common place, still the dream of sustained personal flight has eluded us. But the future is here! Finally we can all take flight as Martin Aircraft in New Zealand releases the first commercially-available jet pack!

I’m Glad I Never Bought A Console…

Looks like what’s being passed for new at the E3 Expo is woefully unoriginal. I waste enough time already to waste even more on retreads of Halo, Metroid, or Goldeneye (they’re STILL making Goldeneye games? Sheesh). Nintendo 3DS sounds like the dumbest gadget ever. I’ll check it out for 5 minutes at a store and put it down.

Now here’s an idea for a game worth buying:
