The good news or the bad news?
Well, first the good news. The rumors are true. I have returned from vacation to find YouTube, Flickr, MySpace, and probably other formerly blocked websites now up and running fine in Dubai. I imagine some of the backlash over Skype access caused them to rethink their strategy on blocking. […]
Time.com has a great letter written from a Marine officer in Iraq to his family and friends in the States. It escaped in the internet wild somehow a few weeks ago and it has now been seen by fellow soldiers, generals, and, well, us. It’s really well-written and provides a great deal of insight into […]
I sidebar posted the MP3 of Weird Al’s latest, White and Nerdy, a few weeks ago. The video is on YouTube now, and it is fucking awesome. I can’t believe Al’s making a comeback, and his shit is gooood.
Enjoy.
Trey Parker and Matt Stone did something fantastically nerdy and extraordinary this week. They made machinima (the art of creating videos by using in-game avatars as actors) mainstream by dedicating the first episode of this season’s South Park to World of Warcraft addiction, and brilliantly acting out all of the main character in-game. As you […]
“This is Flight 10 to Tower, we’ve got a primary reverse oil pump malfunction light. Standby.”
“Acknowledged. Standing by.”
“Proceeding with emergency checklist.”
“The primary oil pump for the reverse thruster is out. Does that mean anything else for us?”
“Ummm. No, I don’t think so. The only issue will be reverse on the ground. But it could be […]
Well, this could very well be the cutest fucking thing of all time. This is rumored to be the “World’s Smallest Horse.” As you can see from the watermarks, the photos came from the Czech photography site, profimedia.cz. If you go there, you won’t be able to understand a thing. I got these in an […]
It’s nice to have Flickr back. Thanks Etisalat. I can finally organize my photos in a way that I’m happy with. I can finally tag, describe, sort, map, and share some of the things I have seen in the past few months. In case you’ve missed some of the newer photos in the sidebar, I’ve […]
Carlton Draught, an Australian beer company has the greatest beer commercial ever made online. Enjoy Flashbeer and tell them I told you.
Carlton Draught. Made from beer.

“Do you remember this show from the 80’s? ‘Jake and the Gold Monkey’ I think it was called…” I asked. “It was the dad from 7th Heaven. He had this awesome sea plane with the wing on top and two engines. I think he had a monkey.”
Everyone vaguely remembers. They vaguely remember the young Stephen […]
Wow. More white guys can rap than I knew about. These guys are Canadian! Here’s an awesome video from DJ Format for his track “3 Feet Deep” that looks like Dance Dance Revolution, and sounds like, well, frickin good.
How fun. And nerdy.
[thanks j.]
Oh man. This is awesome. For one week, these people recorded the same wall being painted over and over again with beautiful graphics. It is truly stunning artwork and fascinating to watch the transformations.
This is a must-watch.

A couple of days ago I told a little story about my experience in the Emirates flight simulator. It was incredibly realistic, with gravity, g-forces, shaking, and even smoke. Graphics views out the window were stunning, but frankly, and I hate to say it, but Microsoft may have one-upped everyone with their latest version of […]
I had an epiphany tonight while watching Season 3, Episode 2 (the latest from last night) of Lost, that I downloaded from Bittorrent. Suddenly it dawned on me that I don’t give a fuck about these people, and I have taken a complete 180 from addiction to the show and season 2, to total and […]
smart fortwo + Suzuki GSX-R1000 = “smartuki” = insanity
A friend of mine showed me this video a few months ago but I forgot to post it. It’s video of a modified DaimlerChrysler smart fortwo with its engine ripped out and replaced with a 1000cc, 140HP engine from a Suzuki GSX-R1000 motorcycle. Actually, it’s pretty tweaked […]
Holy crap. Look at this woman.

Serves you right…
It’s times like these that people have the tendency to turn to snake oil for medicine rather than focus on true science. I’ve seen a lot of uninformed crap in the news about alternative energy sources since the recent world events have driven oil prices so high. I wonder though why some of the more […]
I love Gmail. I tell everyone on a different webmail to switch. I have personally been responsible for at least 25 conversions. I also use Gmail to its fullest, taking advantage of all the tagging and rules-based filters. I love the threaded message sorting, folderless organization, and auto contacts. But, like anything, it could use […]
I’m off. Literally.
In a few hours I’ll be getting on a flight headed for London. I’ve got a wedding there before a longer break in NY and Mexico. I’ve never been to London before which is kind of crazy and stupid, but I am happy to be going. I’ve got a bunch of friends […]
A blatant self-plug for a short clip I made using a Canon 30D and a timelapse controller.
