Joss and Jed Whedon Muse About Felicia Day’s Paleness

This is random but hilarious. Jed Whedon, Joss Whedon’s brother, just put out an album. While searching for someplace other than iTunes (Amazon.com would have been good Jed) to get the album I stumbled upon an “interview” Joss did with Jed for his album. This is from the interview and made me crack up: Joss: [Continue]

My World Cup Ringtone Creation

I was listening to This Week in Tech (TWiT) this morning and, after watching the USA vs. England soccer match over the weekend, Leo Laporte provided more vuvuzela action than I ever wanted to hear again. In case you don’t know, or more likely don’t care (because I don’t care about soccer either I just [Continue]

24 Second Question Yields Near 17 Minute Non-Answer from Obama

Wow. Watch this video at your own peril. This has to be the longest non-answer in political history. If this were President Bush he would have been skewered all weekend long about how he can’t answer a simple question with a simple answer. President Obama perhaps didn’t want to answer the question, couldn’t answer the [Continue]

If You Require Choke Proof Hot Dogs Don’t Have Children

If You Require Choke Proof Hot Dogs Don’t Have Children

CHOKE PROOF HOT DOGS?!? You’ve got to be kidding me. Last night while channel flipping I ran across part of a news story on our local CBS news that stated some group was looking to redesign the hot dog because children choke on them from time to time. Or, at the very least, put a [Continue]

Fantastic Climate Change Video: Raining Polar Bears

The ad is for a web site called planestupid.com. And their name is fitting. This ad is just plain stupid. And how politically incorrect am I that I find polar bears raining down from the sky funny? It reminds me of this: [Continue]

Magnificent Mile Lights Festival… Who Knew?

Magnificent Mile Lights Festival… Who Knew?

I’ve lived in Chicago my entire life and I have never been to the annual Lights Festival. In fact, the first time I ever heard about it was probably around 10 years ago or less. According to Wikipedia this festival started in 1949. How is it that I never knew about it? Eh, it doesn’t [Continue]

Why Do People Follow Me on Twitter?

I’ve been on Twitter for a long time. I listen to far too many tech podcasts not to have joined this thing as soon as I heard about it because I like to see for myself what everyone is talking about. Initially I wasn’t following anyone and I had no followers. I poked around the [Continue]

Public or Private

There are so many things I would like to say that should not be for public consumption. But it would so cathartic to be able to “just say it” regardless of consequence. This is the problem of being on the Internet in the late “oughts”. It’s far too easy now to figure out who is [Continue]

Smoking Smarties?!?!?!

Smoking Smarties?!?!?!

Skimming through the DrudgeReport I ran into the following story. Alarming Trend: Kids Literally Smoking CANDY If you read the story it leads you to believe that kids are smoking candy. The story fails to mention if snorting this candy will kill anyone or even harm anyone. I found this curious given the tone of [Continue]
