Page2RSS - How To Create An RSS Feed For Any Webpage

Filed under: Cool Links — girlrobot @ 3:52 pm

This webpage, Page2RSS, is great. It can create an RSS feed for any webpage out there. Great for pages that don’t have a feed or just plain static webpages that rarely get updated. If you aren’t using an RSS feeder to read your daily blogs you’re missing out! I suggest using Google Reader. Don’t forget to subscribe to mine if you haven’t already! :) I just hit my 50 count subscriber mark!! :D

Weezer’s Back!

Filed under: Fun — girlrobot @ 1:52 pm

Many people do not know but I used to be the biggest weezer fan ever. Sometime after the green album I stopped obsessing over the band. I think Pork and Beans is inspiring me to pull out my old weezer albums out again! And I may just buy this new one which is amazing since I haven’t bought a CD for about 5 years.

I’m sure you’ve seen it by now but in case you haven’t:

Hmm, I used to have the biggest celeb crush on Rivers but I could do without his new mustache.

BTW here’s a link to an interview with the director behind the Pork and Beans video.

How To Get A High Score At Astro Blasters

Filed under: Personal — girlrobot @ 8:55 am

This past weekend I went to Disneyland for my sister’s bachelorette party. One of the rides we went on was Astro Blasters. As you can see from the following picture, I sucked!!!



That’s my little cousin, Myra, sitting next to me. She is my “mini-me” who coincidentally is no longer smaller than me nor is she inferior to me in any way. Since I’m not one to like losing, especially to one who is my “mini-me” I decided to brush up on my Astro Blaster skills. I stumbled upon this…

The Astro Blasters Guide!!!

It turns out the ride is not spewing out random scores which I was attributing to how my little cousin DOUBLED my score so now the next time I go to Disneyland I shall challenge my mini-me to a rematch. (Myra, don’t click on that link! :P)

Ps. “The left side of the cart is MUCH better positioned than the right. It’s probably worth an extra 50000 -100000 points” (yes, I’m sitting on the right side)

I just had to share this awesome compilation of “That’s What She Said” jokes from The Office.

Me and my (very immature) friends are pretty much always saying “that’s what she said” every chance we can get. Oh how very annoying but I still giggle every time!
