How to semi-cheat / guess the word in Draw Something. Matt Carrell 2019-01-01 | This steps you through the process of how to derive the correct word when you don't understand someone's drawing on Draw Something. While it's not technically cheating, because it doesn't directly give you the answer usually, it can give you the direct answer in a list of a few possible answers if you follow it to the end. Nomatter what it makes guessing the word many times easier by eliminating the false letters without the use of bombs which cost credits.
DIY $10 LED floor / table lamps with custom color party lights on the fly! Matt Carrell 2016-07-02 | Using a cheap 2W Pillips LED "accent light" which now costs under $8 costs at many hardware stores, you break off the glass diffuser and add your own coverings to make a very functional but flexible and fun LED lighting arrangement. Sometimes just the cheap plastic tops on aerosol or other personal product containers make the best color filters for these lights and really help set a mood in a room. Complex colors and lightscapes can be created by layering different plastic or styrofoam pieces above or inside each other to create layer-cakes of colored light. I will do a better video on these more complex lighting mods later.
Announcing ShadowBane: The Shadow People are BANISHED! Matt Carrell 2016-07-02 | ShadowBane, my new website launched in conjunction with a class project at school, will help to educate the public on the things that people with night terrors or sleep paralysis suffer. The symptoms, the issues, the potential outcomes, and the known facts. What you won't find on my webpage are any theories about supernatural origins being supported. I'm done with those explanations. They didn't hold water when the evidence was really examined. I think it will be helpful to those of you who may think that aliens or ghosts visit you or torment you by waking you up from sleep and holding you captive. You have more power over this than you know. You just need the tools I will give you. Please stay tuned. The full length documentary will launch before the end of the week on the relaunched / revised website. (The first incarnation of the site launched last week but a tragic and ill-timed hard drive failure of an unrecoverable nature (with a poorly timed decision not to back up recently all of my drive because of a lack of space to do such) ensured the site came right back offline nearly the second it was put up. Now I'm having Apple host the site, it will stay online as long as I can afford to pay for the space, so here's hoping people will like it and find it useful. I wish I had found solid information when I was looking for it a couple years ago. It seems the online resources have increased greatly since then. I just want to be another positive voice in the wind to blow away the myths and mysteries surrounding this medically explainable phenomena. Not everyone will like the explanation. For some, blaming things on the supernatural will be a much more attractive option than looking inwards with a critical eye at what could be something of their own doing (or not in fact). Every person's case is different. The thing is, every case is in fact medically explainable. It will be clear there what I'm talking about once all the lost pages are reposted and functional. PLEASE STAY TUNED! (And cave of cheeseburgers: where have you gone??? I miss your videos.. your old crazy ones particularly. A generalization here about people who are taking their old videos down off YouTube: One should never forget their videos are a journal of their unique journey and progress through this thing we call life. Be not embarassed by what you may consider immature now. Like old tattoos, they help remind you of who you were, who you associated with and how you've all changed over time for the good or the bad. You need those documentations of your life to reflect back on.. It's part of what keeps us aware of our past and helps us predict and chart where we'd like to go from here out...)

Taking Terror Out of the Shadow People.. ARE THEY REAL? Matt Carrell 2016-07-02 | The Shadow People... Bed time alien abductions and visitations... These things are all a figment of your imagination. I proved it to myself. I would like to help you prove it to yourself if you suffer from them...
The Rabbit Hole (GC11G62).. Geocaching tunnel scare! Matt Carrell 2013-02-25 | My scariest Geocache ever! I went to check on it and saw two gleaming eyes while the camera was not pointed directly at them... This will raise the hair on the back of your neck.. Think of it as the Blair Witch Tunnel!2013 Update: * Now that Amargosa and I-15 are now being redone, this tunnel I believe is gone. At least for now, it's inaccessible anyways.
How To Fix Apple Magic Track Pad With Difficult Clicking Or No Clicking... Matt Carrell 2013-01-25 | Magic Track Pad "CLICK" can become faded over time to the point of not clicking anymore. This proceedure may fix the issue. Be sure to try placing the track pad on an obstruction-free, flat, level surface if it was not already and retest it before trying this fix. If the pointer still moves and it still won't click, then this proceedure may help you regain your click!TEXT VERSION: Carefully pull on and wiggle out rubber feet. Remove hard plastic centers. Glue back in very center of each hole (must not touch sides!) the plastic part of the feet or another maybe slightly taller similar size cylinder made of wood, plastic, or metal. These provide the upward pressure to the switch when you push the pad (and the switch inside) down against the feet at the bottom. You can try to replace the rubber feet covers, but it may be very difficult to not possible be warned. They really aren't necessary except to keep delicate desk tops from getting scratch and to keep the pad from sliding around on harder feet.
Energizer Battery Ticking Timebomb of Gas Cloud Doom! Matt Carrell 2012-12-25 | A strange ticking started being heard in my bedroom. My friend Mike and I investigate and find a singular Energizer battery is the source of the mysterious noise. Could this leaking legend be a foreshadower of absolute coming doom? Toon into this exciting episode of As The Alkaline Explodes to find out!
Last Night We Saw a U.F.O. over Moreno Valley, CA Matt Carrell 2012-01-09 | I noticed this odd thing flying high up yet towards my house last night and yelled to my friend Mike to come look! It was a flickering orange colored light (and that's the only light). I had the impression that it was a very large something in the darkness hiding behind the light yet we heard no noise from it at all. We ran downstairs to the back yard and Mike snapped this short video of it on his iPhone which does it no justice. It was a very beautiful strangely flickering/sputtering orange light and then it sputtered out and was invisible or gone. We still can't identify it. So a UFO, it still is!
Solar Eyes PV Electric Art panel Solar Ice Matt Carrell 2011-07-25 | Part of my artistic series of solar panels I produce. This panel is a 12-15 V output. It was made using a metallic picture frame as part of it's recycled or upcycled content.I make custom panels by hand for virtually any kind of projects at reasonable costs of ~$2 to $3 per Watt installed depending on scale and complexity.
Announcing my new endeavors.. Matt Carrell 2011-07-23 | Going into business making solar products. This is my first panel swivel stand. I upcycled the stand from 100% reclaimed materials on hand! I built it from the stand of a Dell monitor and the opening (latch) side off an HP Pavilion desktop computer. It is an example of part of what I am going into business for.. Making great stuff out of "garbage". The other part is making solar affordable by teaching others how and selling stuff at great discount. I have more than a few great ideas to unleash upon the world shortly after I move and open shop in a couple of months. Those wanting custom solar installations may contact me about what kind of solar projects they would like done. My custom installs compare with out of the box solutions in price. Try me!
Strange continued engine problems with Toyota Prius fixed, NOT! Matt Carrell 2011-06-03 | This should help the dealership see I'm not crazy. The car has a major issue. They can't whitewash this as being simply that's how the car charges the battery. Nope. This is a malfunction. Never has the car behaved this way until it started these very strange episodes last summer of randomly dying and not accelerating. This problem has caused two near accidents because the car suddenly lost power and that put me in danger of being hit by fat approaching vehicles or stalling out from freeway speeds or failing to crest a hill. I even suffered a speeding ticket because of how this problem we have dumped money into but nicer got fixed three times has causes me to have to defensively increase speed before hills anticipating that it could die mid-hill and stall out. Not happy with the two different dealerships who have blamed this on my air filter being aftermarket (foam) amongst other stupid ideas that did not fix the problem. Have they no competent technicians to fix hard cases like this? It could be a dozen different problems including vacuum leaks, accelerated position sensor malfunction, etc. All I know I the car's engine computer registers no codes when my foot is to the floor yet the car is losing speed rapidly. That tells us something about where the problem is and where it likely isn't that the computer does not sense a problem going on. Why won't they look into this until they finally find the problem? I don't like throwing hundreds of dollars away on "analysis fees" that any find nothing wrong and to be given a song and dance that the car normally acts like it does in this video while stopped at lights or in my driveway. It's also burning oil abnormally fast. That they pawned off as normal too. Please, a 2007 burning a quart a month? It never did this until after the other stalling/misfiring whatever problems started showing up. Totally frustrated here. Does anyone out there have a clue what this problem might likely be? Toyota sure doesn't.UPDATE!!!!FINALLY! Turns out the engine dying deceleration problem was a damaged hybrid battery.... WOW! Two years and lots of unnecessary repair work, blame shifting, and rolling eyes later, the truth finally comes to light and the problem gets fixed. See! Told you it was baaaad... Toyota was kind enough to replace this under warrantee for me even though the battery was likely damaged three years ago when the car was rear-ended by a pickup truck that didn't stop as swiftly as I did when everyone in front of me did. Led alone the two other trucks that rear ended the one that rear ended the Prius. The hybrid battery being damaged makes sense as the cause because the OBD computer would not register codes for intermittant fluctuations of the battery power, only complete failure. Well the Prius just got a new $5000 battery for the cost of a $400 12V Gel-cell battery and other miscellaneous repair shop visitation fees and a new paper air filter. I guess I can't complain (cancelling CA Bureau of automotive Repair complaint before they go to contact the dealership) I figure now that I came out on top, in the end.FURTHER UPDATE: Oct, 2014: The Prius has been inoperative for 5 months now because the gas engine has failed (lost 50% power or more making terrible noises.) I knew the gas engine was having trouble long ago as this video text originally noted above with the whole burning a quart of oil a month or more often, but the dealership still continues to claim no responsibility in this case. It will sit a long time before i can afford their kind of repair bill ($4400). And I won't be taking it to them... God I wish someone would come out with an all-electric conversion kit for these cars! -- MOST CURRENT UPDATE: JAN 2018... After wasting 4 grand to replace the motor on this beast and then to total the car on the freeway accident last year, I decided since car was totaled in front end collision and motor is destroyed but frame is good it seems that I will try to salvage the car and remove all gas components and covert the car to all electric. No more gasoline ICE complexities and repairs. Done with it ! DONE DONE DONE! No more petroleum fuel sources for me. I am not supporting more of that nonsense. Hybrid = half enviromental destruction. I'm done with that half. Time to go all EV and show the world what must be done. I'm putting my money where my mouth is, in stages.. as I can afford to replace this and that until its done. This is an experiment for sure. One worth undertaking.
Weird Freezer Ice Formations.. How?? Matt Carrell 2011-02-07 | We manually fill our ice trays and place them in the freezer which does not automatically make ice. Nearly every time we make new ice, one or more impossible to explain (?) ice "stallagmites" or shapes come one or two inches out of untouched cubes. We can't explain this. There is no dripping water in the freezer and the shapes are always different and on different cubes. Weird! Why?
The Amazing black light lazer! Matt Carrell 2011-01-05 | This thing reacts with the darndest things in brilliant displays of unpredictable color! Items tested for fluorescence measuring tape level, gas canister bleeding valve, top off an 8 Watt super high efficiency LED 120VAC incandescent lamp replacement light, and an LED flashlight with a glow in the dark grippy handle which acts like a painters canvas! For those wonderig where did I get this cool 100mW "black light" purple spectrum (405nm) laser pointer? Dino Direct. I also got a super green laser from them too I will do a video with another time to show how darn bright it is. KIDS .. Appropriate Color-tuned safety glasses should be worn by any and all creatures potentially viewing such bright laser light like this, so please... DONT PLAY WITH LASERS. YOU'LL SHOOT YOUR EYE OUT!!!

Matt Carrell 2010-11-14 | If you are going to put out a food product in your restaurant's name, putting out something this crappy is just going to make people think less of going to your restaurants... You know, product association. IF you care that little about your TV dinners, how could you care any more for how good the food is in your restaurant? (that's associative logic anyways)...

What happens to transplanted Joshua trees? THEY ALL DIE! Matt Carrell 2009-06-28 | The requirements that developers transplant these protected trees don't specify that the trees have to live.. why? Because they know that they will die. Here's the proof. 90% of all Joshua transplants die. At what cost to developers? At what cost to the Joshua trees and the environment? It used to be they had to develop AROUND the trees. Now they can just mow 90% of them over and the rest get to be subjected to the long death march of transplantation.

Big Bang Theory VS Creationism: 3 questions I have...

Can any scientists out there answer these questions so that I can sleep? Please help! All you scientists and intelligent design people are welcome to try to fight it out over these questions. Keep the debate clean. I reserve the right to delete any entries that are combative, insulting, or otherwise, not sticking strictly to the issues.

Los Angeles Post Prop 8 Protests Matt Carrell 2008-11-08 | Los Angeles protests over Proposition 8's apparent passage by razor thin margins continue to gain momentum as thousands take to the streets to protest Prop 8 and the Mormon Church's involvement in funneling millions of dollars of out of state funds to support the anti-civil-rights measure. Things that happened to quickly to film for this: In order to film this, I was roughed up by 5 Tongan Mormon church thugs before I could reach the protest sight. Police did nothing but watch. Also, a pickup truck of skinhead-looking counter-protesters sped through intersection in front of the mormon temple aiming for two other protesters and another protester threw a glass bottle at the truck in defense to deter them. A lot more happened here than what the news covered. The attitude of people protesting ranges from sad disappointment to rage.... This could get uglier very quickly.
Vegas New Years 2008 at Treasure Island! Matt Carrell 2008-08-02 | Ah.. Another Las Vegas clip... I finally got around to putting this one up. The crowd was in a wild mood (and by crowd we are talking like a million people on the strip at once!), so a tri-pod was impossible to set-up, as surely it would have been knocked over at this location (near Treasure Island and MGM Mirage hotels in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip).

Victorville Christmas Parade 2007! with.. Star Wars style? Matt Carrell 2007-12-27 | All the elements from the High Desert cities and neighboring Inland Empire come out to play every December 1!
