Smartest Dog Ever

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

Watching this made me think about Snowball. The towel on the fridge was how she first learned to open it (although later she figured out to just bite on the handle) and she used to either grab food off the bottom shelf or she'd actually bring her own food. She ...

xkcd

Saturday, March 22nd, 2008

I don't watch Mythbusters since I think the show is kind of stupid because they play entertainment off as being scientific testing. I guess there's always another way to look at it, but anyhow, this comic addresses the issue. xkcd - A webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language - By ...

Mac Commericals

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

I wish there was a way to automatically mute Mac commercials on my TV. Not only do I not really like Macs, but they have the CRAPPIEST music that plays much louder than the program I'm watching.

30th Birthday

I know what I'll be doing on my 30th birthday... Michael Bay has a countdown timer on his website that's supposedly counting down to Transformers 2, which will come out on  June 26, 2009. Given my love of Transformers, I think this is pretty sweet. michael bay dot com/shoot for the edit: the ...

Website broken in IE

Monday, March 10th, 2008

So it looks like my website may be broken in Internet Explorer... not sure when that happened. Anybody else notice that? UPDATE  - looks like the problem may not have been IE, but rather my pictures linked back to Flickr. For some reason it works just fine in Firefox, but doesn't ...

I had no clue that Larry Murphy was doing color for the HDNet broadcasts of NHL games. I guess either I never noticed, or I haven't watched any of the games he was involved with.

Going to Mars would be cool, but I don't think many people would get behind watching a hero astronaut get flung out into space, never to return. Maybe you'd have to find a person with a terminal illness. Patrick Swayze? Too soon? No seriously, I like Swayze. We can't send him to ...

Monday, March 10th, 2008

Can't say I'm going to be able to get behind the idea of a popsicle that tastes like a pickle, but now there's a legitimate reason to use the phrase "sucking on an ice pickle." The bizarre tasting pickle craze from Texas you cant get enough of!

Girl seen in Clinton’s ‘3 a.m.’ ad supports Obama

Monday, March 10th, 2008

The girl in the creepy ad by Hilary Clinton about who do you want to answer the phone at 3am was from 10-year-old stock footage and now she's 18 and endorsing Obama. I find that hilarious. And... why does Hilary think that since she was First Lady that she's any more qualified ...
