March Madness 2008 and webcomics
March Madness 2008 is now upon us. Today was Selection Sunday and the 65-team field has been set. There are so many NCAA Tournament bracket contests, so little time. Here are three: ESPN Men’s Tournament Challenge, CBSSports.com Bracket Challenge, Yahoo! College Basketball Tournament Pick’em. There are a lot of great webcomics out there. Let me […]
The World Within a Sock, rickrolling, doomsday in 2012
Back from San Diego, there was a lot to catch up on from the past two weeks. To aid in my procrastination, a bunch of my favorite Flash cartoon sites released new stuff this month. This includes David Firth posting four short episodes of The World Within a Sock. The selection of cool desktop images […]
Fatal Farm, cats and dogs, Lost Highway
Below are some funny videos and interesting tidbits I’ve collected recently. Ever visited Fatal Farm‘s YouTube channel? You will find lots of classic television intros and theme songs corrupted with bizarre and twisted imagery. It’s worth checking out a few. Try DuckTales and Knight Rider. Cats and dogs Garfield has been one of the lamest […]
Lazy man’s Thanksgiving dinner for two
With the holiday season rapidly approaching, now is an excellent time to share my official lazy (read: efficient) man’s Thanksgiving dinner for two (on a budget). It works for Christmas dinner too! Aren’t able to get home to see the family this year? Don’t really want to leave the house? Too busy to spend all […]
Freeware media/MP3 players, laughing baby, movies
As of this month I’ve lived in Oregon for six years. Now here are some random multimedia links for you. Freeware media/MP3 players Just in case any of you are sick of bloatware media players like Windows Media Player, RealPlayer, and QuickTime/iTunes that hog system resources and are always trying to update themselves against your […]
TV thoughts: Imaginationland, Heroes, Discovery Channel
I have a few quick thoughts to share about television shows. Last Wednesday’s South Park episode, “Imaginationland,” was one of the best I’ve seen in ages. I loved the parts with M. Night Shyamalan, Michael Bay, and Mel Gibson. They were perfect. The episode was the beginning of what I’m sure will be an epic […]
Zach Galifianakis, music news, Colorado Rockies, M&M’s
Let’s see . . . what useless stuff have I watched, read, or thought of in the past 10 days? Music Videos: How about some Zach Galifianakis videos? I’ve watched Kanye West’s “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” music video featuring Zach Galifianakis and Will Oldham about 20 times now. I’ve even started liking the song because […]
2007 Blogger Boobie-Thon for breast cancer
So, you may remember that October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but do you know about the annual Blogger Boobie-Thon for breast cancer? I just learned about it last week. It’s a website organized to gain donations for breast cancer research, through nudity (which, as we all know, is a consistently successful fundraising technique). […]
Marc Ecko and Barry Bonds’ ball, O.J. Simpson setup?
Marc Ecko is at it again! The AP reports that on Saturday, fashion designer and philanthropist Marc Ecko purchased Barry Bonds’ record-breaking home-run ball for $752,467. And he immediately launched a voting website “to democratize the debate over what to do with” the 756 ball. Should the ball be given directly to Cooperstown, should it […]
Swimming cats, The Animation Show, Firefox extensions
What have I spent time watching online this week? Swimming cats This week a friend and I watched way too many YouTube videos centered on a “swimming cats” theme, which were followed by even more “devil cat” and “attack cat” videos. I don’t remember how it all started, but here are a few YouTube selections […]
