Bay Breeze

thekruser — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 04:13:55 +0000

One of my favorite mixed drinks.

2 oz pineapple juice
2 oz cranberry juice
1.5 oz coconut run
6-8 ice cubes
crushed ice
pineapple wedge (optional)

Add ice cubes and all liquid ingredients in shaker.
Shake vigorously for at least 30 seconds. The goal is not only to mix ingredients, but also to create a thicker drink.
Pour over crushed ice.

Help Wanted: foursquare Badge List Author

thekruser — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 11:54:09 +0000

I am looking for someone to help me maintain my foursquare badge list. With everything going on in my life right now, keeping it updated is becoming increasingly difficult, so I am looking for some help.

The person I am looking for should:

possess a basic understanding of WordPress
have a thorough understanding of how foursquare and foursquare badges work
be familiar with HTML

Responsibilities will include:

coding new badge update posts
coding new badge pages and updating existing ones
keeping current with foursquare Badges
seeking out new foursquare badges
comment moderation

A few other things to know up front:

Although it probably goes without saying, I have to put it in black and white: this is an unpaid position.
Pages and posts will be of the same design as what I have created. While I am open to suggestions as to how to improve aesthetics and readability, all design decisions are solely mine to make.
In the beginning, all posts and pages will be set for moderation before they will be posted to the site. Once I become comfortable with you and your work, I will open it up for automatic posting without moderation.
Posts and pages authored by you are limited to foursquare related information.
Failure to abide by the conditions listed herein will result in your author status being rescinded permanently.

If you are interested, author a new badge update post and email me the code at webmaster (at) thekruser (dot) com.

For examples of what the posts should look like, refer to these posts.

Thank you for your interest. I hope to be working with you soon. Have a great day, and happy foursquaring.

Just got another tip from my friend Nan Palmero: BlackBerry Power User. Shout “zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz” (without the quotes of course) to unlock the World Cup 2010 badge on foursquare. No specific number of zs, just a bunch of them.

Enjoy!

Thanks again, Nan!!

Deep Sea Fishing 2010

thekruser — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 02:47:37 +0000

Recently, I went on a deep sea fishing trip with a couple of good friends. We were all getting ready to move, so we decided to give ourselves a going away gift.

Meet Jerame and Jason. It is rare that one works with people that one can truly call friends.

Jerame and Jason-

Thanks for all the good times, ya’ll. That fishing trip kicked ass! I hope our paths cross again in the future. So many good times. So many stories. Don’t worry, I’m not gonna blog about them! I am glad to call you my friends. Good luck in life and thanks for the good times. Until the next time…

Team Coco Bonnaroo

For checking in to the Bonnaroo Comedy Theatre at Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival during Bonnaroo 2010.

Congratulations! You’ve unlocked The Team Coco Bonnaroo Badge! Enjoy the show, and please consider a shower in the near future.

The Badge	The Name	What to do to get it
	Lookin’ for Love*	First you have to follow Bravo on foursquare. Then you have to check in an unspecified number of times at undetermined locations. Rather ambiguous, huh?!? Unfortunately, that is all I have. You know all the hottest singles spots and can now proudly wear BRAVO’s Millionaire Matchmaker Badge of Love.
	Keep Austin GOOD*	Judging by the quote, I assume this badge is earned by checking in to “non-adult themed” venues during SXSW 2010. Not sure, though. Austin’s not just weird, it’s good. Congrats on navigating the SXSW mayhem and finding the GOOD spots. Your mom would be proud!
	Met Lover	Start by following Metropolitan Museum of Art on foursquare. Then check in twice to the museum and the badge is yours. This badge’s quote has not been located…YET!
	Bing World Cup	This badge irritates me. This is the first step in the “over commercialization” of foursquare; and in this blogger’s opinion, foursquare will fail if they continue to add this type of badge. Here is why: the badge itself is no different than any other badge. It is unlocked by checking in to a location. “What location?” you may ask. The answer: use Bing Maps. That’s right! To find the locations that unlock the badge, you either have to get lucky or use Bing Maps. Why does this irritate me so? My answer: where does it end? Next we are going to have to install additional vendor/company apps on our phones just to get a badge. I am fine with having to “follow” a entity to get a badge because it really doesn’t effect much, but when I am forced to add information-mining apps on my phone, opening myself to location-based advertising, I will stop playing the game. How many different apps am I going to have to install or use to get a foursquare badge in the future? Just my opinion. This badge’s quote has not been located…YET!
	Six Flags Funatic	Start by following Six Flags on foursquare. Then check in 10 times to the same Six Flags location. What’s more is they are incorporating a the biggest foursquare-related giveaway to date (as of 12 June 2010). The contest runs from 10 June through 7 September 2010. At close of business on 7 September 2010, each park’s current Mayor will receive a free 2011 Season Pass. They are also planning on giving away a chance to win a 2011 50th anniversary “Exit Pass” allowing immediate ride access onto Six Flags signature coasters all season long, among other prizes. Don’t miss out! This badge’s quote has not been located…YET!

16 Funny Statements from Police Officers

thekruser — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 12:45:04 +0000

These are actual comments made by 16 Police Officers. The comments were taken off actual police car videos around the country:

“You know, stop lights don’t come any redder than the one you just went through.”
“Relax, the handcuffs are tight because they’re new. They’ll stretch after you wear them a while.”
“If you take your hands off the car, I’ll make your birth certificate a worthless document.”
“If you run, you’ll only go to jail tired.”
“Can you run faster than 1200 feet per second? Because that’s the speed of the bullet that’ll be chasing you.”
“You don’t know how fast you were going? I guess that means I can write anything I want to on the ticket, huh?”
“Yes, sir, you can talk to the shift supervisor, but I don’t think it will help. Oh, did I mention that I’m the shift supervisor?”
“Warning! You want a warning? O.K, I’m warning you not to do that again or I’ll give you another ticket.”
“The answer to this last question will determine whether you are drunk or not. Was Mickey Mouse a cat or a dog?”
“Fair? You want me to be fair? Listen, fair is a place where you go to ride on rides, eat cotton candy and corn dogs and step in monkey poop.”
“Yeah, we have a quota. Two more tickets and my wife gets a toaster oven.”
“In God we trust, all others we run through NCIC.”
“Just how big were those ‘two beers’ you say you had?”
“No sir, we don’t have quotas anymore. We used to, but now we’re allowed to write as many tickets as we can.”
“I’m glad to hear that the Chief (of Police) is a personal friend of yours. So you know someone who can post your bail.”

AND THE WINNER IS….

“You didn’t think we give pretty women tickets? You’re right, we don’t. Sign here.”
