An Aussie geek stuck in Texas

[tag]model[/tag][tag]cycling[/tag][tag]Houston[/tag]A few weeks ago I was on the local morning TV Show, Great Day Houston modeling in a Bike Fashion segment that was sponsored by my local bike shop, Daniel Boone Cycles so if you navigate to their Looking Good section and select the Bike Fashions 101 link on the right you can see the video clip.

My appearance is close to half way through the clip and towards the end during the injury segment we all get to look awkward as we ride in the background on a very tight course. Oh and if you are wondering what the “rainbows” are, they are actually world champion stripes as the shoes and socks are special Tom Boonen limited editions plus nothing I was wearing was made in the USA and I certainly aren’t so I don’t know where the “Jason is all made in the USA” comment came from.

[tag]Astros[/tag]On Wednesday night at Little Woodrows Midtown the Fox Sports Network and Coors Light were filming for their current sports debate promotion so both Megan and I gave it a go. Amazingly we were the only couple that was game enough as the other ‘couples’ were just guys.

So during the Astros game tonight keep an eye out when the commercials are on as it was supposed to air during the next home game. I’ll be the one in the Astros get up with an Aussie accent.

Five degrees? Like really who on the earth needs five degrees? Five degrees to work for a consulting company so you can charge rediculous fees to tell companies things they already know?

It really was rude of him for him to use that whole “I believe The Apprentice is about *The* Apprentice, meaning there should only be one” speech that was out and out gloating, I would have taken offence to that if I was Trump and probably would have fired him then and there.

Hats off to you Rebecca, I think you can actually do better for yourself outside of the Trump organization anyway, like who really wants to work for Trump anyway? I’d love to be like an architecture firm hired by him but I don’t think I could actually stand working for him.

I’ve never really watched Trading Spouses before but really couldn’t resist after seeing that crazy fat woman of a “God warrior” in the shorts, it is freaking hilarious that woman is just insane!

A little hint for all you girls out there, in particular those on America’s Next Top Model right now, smoking is a huge turn off and makes you look trashy!

[tag]TV[/tag]One flaw I’ve found with purchasing TV shows on iTunes is that there is an option to buy all the episodes so far in a season, which I did for Lost but now there is a new episode that of course wasn’t included. That is fair enough but the price hasn’t changed for the buy all episodes option, that sucks!

What they should do instead is allow you to buy a subscription to the season so you can download them as they are released, so God if you’re listening please implement that!

The first thing I did when I got home after taking the dogs out was to upgrade to iTunes 6.0 and Quicktime 7.0.3, rebooted and launched iTunes then purchased the 3 episodes of Lost so far this season.

First impression: Pretty cool! The resolution is low at 320*240 but the encoding is high so it is high quality and blowing it up to full screen doesn’t have too many ill effects especially if you sit back a bit with the main downer being the lack of widescreen, still I’m fairly impressed I have got to say!

Oh and I skimmed through an episode and didn’t see any advertisements so this is pretty damn sweet if you ask me and hopefully just a taste of things to come!

[tag]TV[/tag][tag]dumbass[/tag]Was just sitting down to get some UFC action on the DVR and unfortunately saw a bit of Wheel of Fortune that had started playing after the news and well lets just say the contestants need a lesson in geography, the first guessed Calgary, Atlanta and the next had a mental blank and finally someone got it.

Anyone else enjoy the scene from tonight’s episode of Lost of Kate crawling along inside the air conditioning vent? Nice view wasn’t it?

So is Martha Stewarts Apprentice pretty much the same as the original The Apprentice but with Martha Stewart in charge instead of Donald Trump? Lame!

I thought it was all going to be about doing Martha Stewart like stuff like home decorating & cooking and not just a cookie cutter version of the original The Apprentice. Although I guess the projects have a Martha Stewart flavour it is still too similar in my opinion but I’m watching it anyway…
