Oh man. This guy is whiiiiite. And he can dance. I need to start hiding video cameras around so I can be this funny.

I LOVE Wallace & Gromit. Always have. I’ve got every DVD from Aardman studios, from all the Wallace & Gromits to Creature Comforts to Chicken Run.
Well, the trailer for their first full-length feature film, Wallace & Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit is out right now, and it looks incredible. Nothing against Pixar, but this will […]

You should watch this great, little “making of” movie for the new Wallace & Gromit feature film, Curse of the Were-Rabbit I wrote about the other day. I can’t wait.

It’s not secret that Pearl Jam is my favorite band of all time. In my top 5 songs lies the lyrically elusive Yellow Ledbetter. Every fan has struggled with understanding those lyrics since the song first came around in 1991. I was convinced until this morning that Eddie Vedder made it up differently each time […]

“Ah ain’t gettin’ in no plane Hannibo’”
God, I love Mr.T. Not just for his tough, no nonsense attitude, but for his kind heart as well. For example, even though you know Mr. T from Rocky and The A-Team, I bet you didn’t know he was also an early 80’s rapper…

There is other stuff you might […]

Not by me! This guy, Bob, from My Blog is Poop, wrote a great article about handjobs after his friend got one. I think it’s brilliant. I wish I wrote it, even though I don’t completely agree. You should go read it.

cdiclerico: hey darlin!

cdiclerico: you know me
cdiclerico: ‘ino, ooo, I love ‘ino
cdiclerico: I also love pork
cdiclerico: I really do
cdiclerico: in all of its various forms
cdiclerico: I dont think theres a single form of pork I don’t like
cdiclerico: now imagine the best pork sandwich ever… “the cuban”, well… maybe. But how about […]

This New Yorker article, Net Worth, does a fantastic job of quantifying the difference between the old capitol vs. labor economy and the new, “knowledge economy.” It’s a fascinating read, and teaches some lessons that employers need to learn fast if they are going to continue to compete.
“But in a host of industries—most notably in […]

You can thank Danger for this one. I saw it on boingboing, I think, a few days ago, but didn’t even download the video. Why not? I don’t know. This is a video of a very real and very terrifying livestock wrangling machine that literally vacuums up chickens and blasts them into cages. The […]

When I say instant, I mean instant. All japanese. Not a word of English to be found. This iconographic list of ingredients appear on the box. All you need is the box, an egg, and a microwave.

My good friend Jason told me about these this morning, and at lunch time I insisted on buying […]

Lawmakers just voted the tomato as the State Vegetable of New Jersey. FYI: Tomato is a fruit.

You might remember the Brazilian girl with the sick, sick ass that I posted about way back in December. Her name is Keyra Agustina. Well, she got really popular on the Internets, and I am sure it’s a just a matter of time before she flies out to LA for some real fame and fortune. […]

BoingBoing has been compiling some pretty good monkey attack stories since last week that guy was gruesomely killed by cellmates of his own former pet chimpanzee. I have been reading them because I love monkeys, and because I REALLY love monkeys that attack humans. I don’t have time to tell my own monkey attack story, […]

I got invited to a party for Glamour magazine tonight. I went. I’m no Stephanie Klein, and all I had with me was my little Pentax Optio. I’m also not sexy or “fab,” but I’m funny as hell. I tried to take some pictures of badly plastic surgeried celebs, but it didn’t work out so […]

The Altoids iPod Battery Pack is in this month’s MacWorld Magazine (on shelves now!). It’s a short little article with a nice picture. They did the right thing and contacted the other guys who previously made battery packs like mine. That was pretty cool (I told them to do it). Drew Perry finally got some […]

Here’s a great, new, short animated film, In The Rough, from Blur, the folks that brought you RockFish. I wrote about that back in September. These guys at Blur are really very, very good. In The Rough is a beautiful little animation about a caveman with relationship problems just like the rest of us. […]

I have been told that I prone to hyperbole, so keep that in mind when you here what I am about to say. Other than that old video where the monkey picks his ass and then falls off the tree, this is the GREATEST VIDEO IN THE HISTORY OF THE INTERNET!!!
A DEA officer teaches drug […]

I really don’t want to talk too much about Michael Jackson. I don’t want a big argument about any of this. I don’t want to go on and on about how I feel about him. You can read the testimonies for yourself, about alcohol and handjobs to minors. It’s really great stuff. The simple […]

It’s hard to resist the charms of the new trailer for Star Wars Episode 3, Revenge of the Sith. It’s quite fantastic actually. But don’t forget, George Lucas sucks complete and total ass, can’t write his way out of the bathroom, and directs like a 14 year old nerd. He has never kissed a girl. […]

AOL, in an astounding bad judgment call, has changed is TOS (Terms of Service) for Instant Messenger to completely remove all of your rights to privacy. In fact, they have granted themselves the right to eavesdrop, record, sell, use, monitor, whatever, YOUR personal communications. Here’s a quick snippet:
“In addition, by posting Content on an AIM […]

Maybe it’s my humble beginnings behind a worn 20 sided die, or maybe it’s the fact that I outgrew that shit the second a real girl talked to me, but I have no tolerance for adult Dungeons & Dragons nerds. Pre-teen D&D builds imagination. Post-pussy D&D builds anger in my soul.
A video recently leaked onto […]

Regina Spektor is hot and talented, and about to be HUGE. She appeared on Conan O’Brian on Thursday, and has a great video on her website for her first single, Us. I just bought the new album called Soviet Kitsch. It’s pretty great stuff.

[thanks Matt. (He thinks he’s in love, and so do I.)]

Here is a great article about the long tail of and certain very profitable businesses by Joe Kraus, founder of Excite back in the iDay, on his entrepreneurial blog, Bnoopy.
The 80/20 rule where brick and mortar retailers make 80% of their profit from 20% of their stock has been turned on its head by […]

When is a conference room doodle a cry for help?

Marius Valdes is the brilliant artist that I wrote about back in January. Shortly after my post, I purchased 2 gorgeous paintings from him for a very reasonable price. They are now hanging in my office at work. I guess I never posted photos of that. I bought this guy, with the duck that I […]

St. Patty’s Day was a total debacle, as expected. Nobody should ever be my girlfriend - especially not on St. Patrick’s day, and definitely not after a late night session with my friend Jameson. You will enjoy this short slideshow of my night (still photos set to music via iPhoto, 4MB) and should get a […]

Sorry for the lack of updates. My plan was to blog from LA where I have been staying for the last week, but drunkenness and lack of regular connectivity kept me away. Thanks for being patient. I have about 20 things to post, and no time just yet. tomorrow night will be all about this […]

GearLive.com has a great review of a new alarm clock wristwatch called the SleepTracker that supposedly monitors your sleeping and wakes you up at the optimal time for alertness and well-restedness (if those are in fact words at all). Gizmodo and I experienced similar skepticism, but if the review is even remotely accurate, this could […]

I have to admit that I am a bit of a lomo addict. Lomo is a brand and style of photography that encourages experimentation. Oversaturated, overexposed, out of focus, simple, cheap, and fun. I collect some of the more well-known cameras. I have an original Russian LCA (Lomo Kompact Automat) that I eBayed from a […]

I have been posting too infrequently to keep up with the good stuff of the last week or two, so if you’ve seen any of the stuff I am posting already, forgive me.
This is one of my favorites. A very creative guy with a free 4 minutes took a picture of exactly what was […]

Josh Rubin has some great stuff on his blog, Cool Hunting, every day. Recently I followed his link to the site of a Japanese artist/designer in San Fransisco, Ogi. His work is fantastic. Clearly Japanese: clean, delicate, urban, beautiful, futuristic. Great stuff. Some of it is not too expensive and you’d be cool if you […]

I am sure you all know about 16 year old Jeff Weise who flipped out Columbine-style last week and killed 9 people and then himself in Red lake, Minnesota. The victims were 5 students, 2 faculty, and his grandfather and his girlfriend. He used his grandfather’s police issue shotgun and bullet proof vest. Of course […]

worst…logo…ever…

I shit you not, this was the real logo for the Arlington Pediatric Center. It just got a lot of attention thanks to Fark and others. It is now gone from their website. I think Michael Jackson should take and reuse for the Michael Jackson Center for Kids Who Don’t Read Good. Or, if he’s […]

You HAVE to watch this video of BMXer Corey Martinez tearing it up street style like you probably have never seen before. He is incredible, really.

Here’s the thing. Sometimes you have a fat, nerd friend who you pick on all the time. It’s really funny and everything, usually, but then he get’s pissed off and throws a pair of scissors at you, and it’s not all that funny anymore. This guy knows. Check out the video.

[via totallycrap.]

Very, very sweet new video from the animated band, Gorillaz. This new track, Feel Good, Inc. features De La Soul and is mixed by DJ Dangermouse of The Grey Album fame. The video is incredible.

“…you must acquit.”
I don’t normally react publically to celebrity deaths, but it’s kind of crazy that Johnny Cochran just died. The article says it was a brain tumor. Crazy. Bizarre. The OJ trial was such a huge part of popular culture, and the most colorful figure (other than the bloody OJ himself) is now dead. […]

Ron Jeremy, “The Hedgehog,” everyone’s favorite porn star is following in Jenna Jameson’s mobile footsteps (”moan-tones” at wickedwireless) by launching a website for purchasing and downloading custom “groan-tones” for your cellphone. It’s called rjmobile.com, and it has the best logo in the history of corporate identity.

I am no Hillary Duff fan. I don’t even know what she’s been in, other than Punk’t. But I am a breast connoisseur, and I am pretty sure, but not positive, that these are fake. M90 has this great shot of them, and I don’t know, I haven’t seen an 18 year old boob in […]

Maybe it’s just me, but this nerd seems to be taking advantage of the internet service thing at Starbucks. I took these pictures tonight of this guy who appears to have lugged his whole computer system into the Starbucks on 41st and Madison. I don’t see any coffee anywhere either…

I was in LA two weeks ago. On Sunday, our second day in Solvang, 3 hours north of LA, in wine tasting country (ala Sideways), we visited a few more vineyards. We drove around in my friend’s 1991 Mitsubishi Montero nicknamed “Monte”. SUV’s get terrible gas mileage, but have some benefits…

Watch B-boys breakdance battle a gang of goths in Skinny Puppy’s video for “Pro-Test.” If you don’t like breakdancing, you’re an A-hole.
This video freakin rocks. It’s even worth enduring the Zantac advertising.
