Here's a short video on the potential impact of the Protect IP Act. I do not support this at all. Being a blogger, I want to have my rights protected and under the "Fair Use Policy" I should be able to post whatever I want and comment about it without having to worry about my whole blog being put down just for having some song playing in the background, or some video being played when in actually I'm probably trying to promote someone's ideas or the fruits of their labor. This is just the government and big business in cahoots trying to gain an upper hand over all of the internet. Help support me in making sure this isn't passed.
PROTECT IP Act Breaks The Internet from Fight for the Future on Vimeo.
Help me in trying to keep this from getting passed by clicking on the this link. It will generate an email asking your congress person to vote no on this act. Get the word out. Stop this act.

Another Mac Virus...
It looks like the days of virus free-ness are numbered for macs... More and more virus are being made for macs. This is why we can't have nice things.
... I know that wasn't used right but it felt like the right thing to say.

Could this be the new Toyota sports car?
Probably not.
Looks like Toyota has finally started on releasing it's first real RWD sports car since the MR2 Spyder was put down (The LFA doesn't count since it's through Lexus and is unaffordable for the common folks. The IS line is also through Lexus). The Toyota FT-86 with a Subaru boxer engine. Technically, it's a Scion. So it's a Toyota, but not really. It's rumored to be released in the US as the Scion FR-S. It actually looks a lot better than I thought. Although Jalopnik says that the ones pictured might be a cataloged version (Body kitted and modified version) through the Modellista arm of Toyota Japan.
I miss my old 2001 Celica. And the 94 Supra has always been my dream car. I guess I'm just a Toyota kind of guy.

Dragon .50 cal with Explosive ammo
GoPro Hero 2
For all you photographer and action adventurist, here's the new version of the GoPro Hero.
This is a link to Gizmodo's review of the product as well as a demo of the camera's video itself. Now I'm not rich enough (Not yet at least.) to buy one of these things and actually try it out so for now I'll rely on Gizmodo to help me out with that.
Enjoy!

Lytro Ligthfield camera.
Here's some awesome new piece of tech!
It's a camera with infinite focus, dubbed light field technology. It will takes pictures where you can adjust the focus from foreground to background on the fly afterward. You have to try the demo in the link below. It's pretty amazing and could potentially change the way we take pictures. The only down side is the fact that since it looks like it's built using the iPod nano, you'll need a mac and mac software to pull the pictures down and play around with it.
It's a bit pricey at $399 for the 8 gig version and 499 for the 16 gig, but I wouldn't mind having one!
Update: Added the link to Lytro's own webpage where they have more demo galleries.

Top Gun.
One of the best "man" movies ever.
It even comes with it's own subtle homosexual undertones.
It even comes with it's own subtle homosexual undertones.
First Post!
So this is my first post on my new blog "Fundamental Man." I plan on blogging about my life and what I've learned about what it really takes to be a man is today's world. Hence, the title, "Fundamental Man."
I plan to blog about things that revolve around my interests but try to make them relevant to being a "man." In my view, men in today's society have gone soft. We're not the plaid wearing lumberjack men that could just head out and catch tonight's dinner. Nowadays we tend to order out. And, most of the time we have no ambition to even try something new. But I aim to change that. I'll try to bring to you the things that aren't only cool and new but hopefully make you a better "man." Whatever the fuck that is.
