vorenus and pullo

I just finished watching episode 10 of season 2 of HBO’s Rome. I didn’t know it would be the season finale (I assume it WAS the season finale by everything that happened.) and I didn’t know the show had been cancelled. Fantastic end to a fantastic show, really. Afterwards I did some searching around for […]

open letter to MS and sysadmins re: passwords

Dear Microsoft and systems administrators,
The common practice of forcing people to change their passwords periodically makes them less secure, not more secure. Please stop it.
This is the most unresearched, and insecure tactic for network security ever. Forcing the password to be significantly different from the last password is even worse. The reason is simple: People […]

how to: eat the penis off of a chocolate jesus and not look gay

Admittedly it is very difficult to eat a chocolate penis and not look gay. It is even harder to eat a chocolate penis right off of a 6 foot tall statue of man made of chocolate. Imagine how complicated it gets when that man is Jesus, and it is Easter Sunday. I know you’re thinking, […]

alanis morissette “my humps”

Alanis Morissette does a stellar parody of Fergie and the Black Eyed Peas “My Humps”. Just brilliant. I always knew this song was shit, but it didn’t dawn on me how truly awful it really is until now.

In case you doubt it, this is word for word the same song. See here:

“You love my lady […]

Happy Birfday, Beeatch!

Can you please all join me in wishing my buddy in the middle east a very Happy Birthday? April 3rd is the actual day and I didn’t get a chance to post this any sooner than 11pm EST, so pardon the tardiness.
It’s too bad Chris is not here to celebrate at one of the many […]

harrowdown hill video

Thom Yorke’s The Eraser is fantastic, as you know, and Harrowdown Hill is one of the best tracks. The relatively new video for that song is stunning and brilliant, and includes the first I’ve seen use of the tilt-shift photography technique in film. I’ve written about tilt-shift and fake tilt-shift many times before. It could […]

retarded headache

Last night, after a long day in the sun at the Abu Dhabi Red Bull Airrace, sunset at Barasti in the Dubai Marina, 5 hours of non-stop 110kmh warning beeping from my fucking Mitsubishi Lancer, and a swim in Mike’s ice cold pool, I had a splitting, ridiculous headache that made me feel near-retarded. A […]

amazing TMNT guerilla marketing

Brazillian agency Ginga Interactive created this full-building projection of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Tartarugas Ninja) in action to promote the release of the movie. I have heard the movie is shit, but this advertising is fantastic.

midget b-boys

Oh my god. Best video of all time. Midgets breakdancing against each other. Only Dancer number 1 is doing Capoeira (acrobatic, rhythmic, Brazilian fighting style), and midget number 2 is absolutely incredible. Incredible. Awesome.

[thanks mike.]

6 in 7

Catch up on 6 seasons of Sopranos in 7 minutes before you start watching the new season. I know this is a bit late. I forgot to post it a few weeks ago. It is absolutely genius. This is remix/edit culture at its best. Funny, well written, concise, and brilliant.

the landlord

Will Ferrell, funniest person in the world, seems to have whipped this short video up one afternoon when he was bored. The Landlord is a work of pure genius, and the best use of offspring ever.

[thanks to kathlene for finding this.]

hikkaduwa

This is going to sound more exotic than I want it to sound, but this weekend I went to Sri Lanka for surfing, snorkeling, and relaxing. We flew out on Thursday night into Colombo, and then got a van to take us down to the sleepy beach town of Hikkaduwa in the south west part […]

Sarah Silverman - Love Song

I’ve always loved Sarah Silverman’s sense of humor.
She does every cliché racist, politically incorrect joke you can or can’t think of, and she does them so well, you’re actually uncomfortable laughing at some of the stuff. And you love her for it.
Here’s a video from her latest show.
It’s her love song.
‘I love you more […]

nazi mech

A guy named Marco Spitoni from a company called Cee Gee wrote, directed, modeled, and animated this short film which answers the question we have all asked ourselves. “What if the Nazi’s had giant robots?”
The answer is spectacularly animated and “filmed” to look authentic and plausible. The camera movements and style are spot on, and […]
