Your Future Doctor, Sponsored by Cialis

So it is official – I can’t get off this subject. Maybe I’ve just had my head in the sand up to this point, but the Pharmaceutical Machine disturbs me to the core. Sure, the third most profitable industry in the world has to promote their “products” somehow. Nonetheless, we are not talking about [...]

Orangina – Balls of Steel, Brains of Mush

I like it when marketing departments take chances – I really do. If they bomb, then at least they went down swinging. Holy cripes, this ad goes down in FLAMES. Warning – this could haunt you.

All Things Considered.

On my way to the office every morning I enjoy a cup of coffee and National Public Radio(NPR). I have always enjoyed NPR as they seem to put the least amount of spin on their news stories – which I appreciate. Furthermore NPR is normally good at avoiding stupid news stories, like what Paris Hilton [...]

Hardest Working Dude in Hollywood

I am a fan of very few things, and never fawn over anyone. Over the years however I have gained respect for one guy who appears to never sleep – Seth Green. I was just talking to GlazednConfused the other day about him and we noticed a few things. The dude is funny. The dude doesn’t seem [...]

Natural Born President

A friend called me up out of the blue yesterday and asked me “Isn’t Oliver Stone the worst director in Hollywood?” – and I had to think for a second. My friend is not a reader of this site, because I believe him to be some variation of a blog snob. So he wasn’t disputing [...]

Why didnt we come up with these?

While reading through my hundreds of RSS feeds I ran across these two rather profound greeting cards. I thought I would share them with you. Who can be as sarcastic as we are,  but have artistic talent to boot and then turn it into greeting cards? The folks over at Someecards.com pure brilliance I tell you.  [...]

New Site Page

I have added a new site page, one I have been thinking about for quite some time now: The Daily Spam. The premise is simple: Each day I receive between 25 to 50 spam emails in my spam folder in gmail (Google is still the devil). I will read these messages and post the one that [...]

Legos and Interfaces

Two topics that have nothing to do with one another, but will provide you with quite a bit of entertainment today. The first is a complete recreation of the Olympics with Legos! The second is much cooler than the first, in my opinion, but will take some time to watch. If you want your mind [...]

Angry Alien Productions

Sometimes I like to share the amazing work of others. if you are not familiar with Angry Alien Productions then, well, you should be. Angry Alien was started by this lady with way too much time on her hands whereby she used that extra time to re-enact famous movies through the power of Flash technonolgy [...]

A Thousand Years of Automotive Engineering Has Come to This

I’m sure you’ve heard the gloom and doom by now. Ford has its worst quarter ever. GM is hemorrhaging cash with one foot in the grave. Chrysler is this close from outsourcing all its manufacturing and becoming merely a shiny brand they attach to any car they can get their greasy mitts on. There’s one [...]

Bible Fun!

I am a huge fan of holy books such as the Bible, Koran and Playboy. Cracked.com did this little bit on some lovely passages in the Bible that tell us of how things used to be. Take a read – the religious experience is breath taking. I would love to sit down with a Bishop [...]

A Quick Note on New Domestic Oil Drilling

This author recently popularized the phrase “Disaster Capitalism” – Wow, does any one phrase better sum up the current climate in the U.S.? Anyway, she talks in a recent interview about how we may increase all this drilling on American soil, yet what guarantees WE get the oil? This is an important point – these [...]

Battlefield: Bringing Together Stoners, Pre-teens, and Me Since 2002

I’ve praised the joys of the online “massive” FPS Battlefield games in the past, and I’m not stopping now. Battlefield:Bad Company on the Xbox360 is great fun, and way more interesting than the last one. The graphics and overall mayhem are cranked up a notch, while the 1-player is improved greatly. But I wouldn’t know [...]

Popping Contest – Latest and Greatest

Unmasked?

I avoid radio as much as possible, especially in the morning. However, my mp3 player died halfway to work – and God forbid I sit there and listen to my own tortured thoughts. I’m pretty sure that’s what causes people to stop by the gun store on the way to work (wait period be damned, [...]

Sam Kinison in all of Us.

If you don’t remember Sam Kinison, look here, and here. I bring up Sam because he had this saying that always cracked me up. “I don’t condone the beating of women, I understand it though. I know what turns Mr. Hand into Mr. Fist.” Today I found myself thinking about these people that keep losing [...]

The Programmer Pyramid

As some of you may have figured out many of us who write this blog are in one form of IT or another. This post will be a series of posts hoping to shed some light on the mystical world of programming / programmers. I have to admit much of this post is driven by frustration [...]

A Movie Worth Watching

The Onion.  

The Eternal Question Answered.

My favorite answer is Einstein. Why did the chicken cross the road? BARACK OBAMA: The chicken crossed the road because it was time for a CHANGE! The chicken wanted CHANGE! JOHN MC CAIN: My friends, that chicken crossed the road because he recognized the need to engage in operation and dialog with all the chickens on the other side of the road. HILLARY CLINTON: When [...]

Hamdog Wants to be Your Friend

The quest for the perfect poop

OK following Thraxxus’ post I now feel the need to share. This is more of an observation of human behavior and the delicate balance that is a human diet then it is about the actual poop. The human species is odd in general especially when you look at American sub culture. In my never ending [...]

The need to share.

Why is it that co-workers want to share their personal lives with you? What makes anyone think that other people might be even remotely interested in their daily drama? Do I walk around with a sign around my neck or some tattoo on my forehead that says “please tell me about your uncle ned!” or [...]

Blog Envy?

AVClub has some great content, but even better is the commentary. I swear half of the people are aspiring comedians, and when they are on they are hilarious.

Neuromancer – First Peek

Just the poster folks. Remember – the fact that this movie is being made at all is a tragedy, up the fact that Hayden is the lead and the director shouldn’t be working at all and you have a potential debacle. That said I may buy the poster.  

The Gasoline Joke

I was having a discussion recently with my father who lives in SoCal and he was explaining to me how nice it was that the price of gasoline had fallen a little bit, something like 20 cents per gallon. I started laughing fairly hard and he made a comment that was funny to me: “Yeah, [...]
