Before you stands my new Xbox Live Avatar. Not really sure what his purpose is, but he stands here none the less. I was sorta disappointed in the eye and hair choices so my little man is rockin the pompadour and a pair of shades. Anywho you can grab an image of your own Xbox live avatar by going to either

or just cut out the middle man and go to

I got this spiffy looking representation of my Halo 3 avatar via the GeeMC Halo 3 Spartan Generator. Ain’t he nifty looking?
Now go make your own!

Erik’s Links For November 2nd 2008
I found this U.S. AQUA water can in an antique shop in Poulsbo, Washington. On the side it talks about how it’s “IMPERVIOUS TO NUCLEAR FALLOUT” and cheap insurance. This convinced me that I had to buy it.
Then it sat on my desk for a month and a half. Besides providing life sustaining water in case of political destabilization due to the Nuclear Armageddon that we all know is coming in the near future, it also makes an awesome paper weight.
I haven’t been able to find anything about U.S. Aqua or it’s fallout impervious canned water on the internets, (other than some long dead eBay links that won’t even show the seller or the specific auction even) so this is my original content contribution. Heres the complete text from the side of the can. Below that you’ll find a gallery with a bunch more images of said water can.
U.S.
AQUAPURE DRINKING WATER
CONTENTS 12 FLUID OZ.
This can contains water pumper from our own well and immediately processed under scientific methods resulting in a highly pure drinking water. Under ordinary storage conditions, this water will keep for years.
IMPERVIOUS TO NUCLEAR FALLOUT. But, in case of fallout, wipe can and can opener before opening can.
This water is processed under provisions in permit issued to Teasdale Packing Company by California State Board of Health and meets the requirements as set forth in the U.S. Public Service Drinking Water Standards.
Recommended for convenience in emergency uses. It is cheap insurance to have a supply on hand.PACKED BY

Remember how easy it is to screen capture on a Mac?
Cmd + Shift + 3
to take a picture of your Entire active screen.
While
cmd + Shift + 4
gives you some crosshairs that allow you to select what you want to copy.
Only problem is, the files are always saved as .png files. This is annoying if you want them in another format like .jpg. Normally you’d have to open your image editor of choice and then re-save it.
Turns out there is an easier way though!
All you have to do is run this Terminal Command
defaults write com.apple.screencapture type jpg
then restart your computer. Now every time you take a screenshot it will be in .jpg format.
If you want your screenshots in other formats like gif, png, or even pdf just change it in the terminal.
