Please join me in wishing Mr.DiClerico a very happy birthday.

I am overwhelmed at the sheer number of people who have remembered my birthday and written to me. It makes me very sorry that I forgot all of your birthdays. I suppose Facebook helps and many of the messages came through my Wall or private messages.
Anyway, thanks. I am 35 now, and living like an […]

Ever wonder how you can make poverty and starvation in Africa funny? Ricky Gervais did it.

[thanks jay.]

Gadling compiled some great quotes from the master of living and loving life, Kurt Vonnegut, in honor of the first anniversary of his passing.
[When Vonnegut tells his wife he’s going out to buy an envelope] “Oh, she says well, you’re not a poor man. You know, why don’t you go online and buy a hundred […]

The last few weeks have been more hectic than usual. By “more hectic” I suppose I just mean, “I had some stuff to do, which is a hell of a lot more than nothing to do.” Both my sisters visited from NY. After a horrific ordeal trying to get out of San Jose (lost in […]

This guy spent a hell of a lot of time and effort developing carbon fiber wings with jet engines attached. His goal is to fly horizontally for long distances after jumping from a plane. Technically this is not a jetpack that takes you from the ground of your backyard to the roof of your office […]

Have a look at this little sequence called Lost Generation. It’s a little sappy, but pretty good nonetheless.

[thanks jay.]

It looks like the studio isn’t just stopping with the 90 second thrill ride trailer. They are going to make an ACTUAL movie out of this. Must watch…
Wildly Popular ‘Iron Man’ Trailer To Be Adapted Into Full-Length Film
“What if they put in a tedious romantic subplot that was 20 or 30 minutes long?”
“Oh, that doesn’t […]

A guy made a short video refuting nearly all of what Ben Stein has to say in discussing creationism and evolution and in the process destroys the credibility of his so-called “documentary,” Exposed. It is so scary to listen to Ben Stein talk about evolution. It is so obvious to any reasonably educated person that […]

This could well be the best ad for a TV channel ever made. Discovery Channel sings how much it loves the world. So good.

I’m feeling kind of the same way about the world right now. Having a great friggin time. Finally went diving for the first real time and I am hooked already - and […]

Another Engrish translation from a Chinese hospital that just doesn’t quite get the sensitivity of the subject.

UPDATE April 22, 2008: Looks like this photo/post got picked up by Gawker. Funny.
[mae, you made my morning with this.]

I had another amazing trip into Hacienda Baru and found myself again surrounded by capuchin monkeys. This time I set the ISO up, the metering to spot, and removed the 1.4x magnifier. The results are much better, though I still need some practice. Below is my favorite, and I have added the rest to the […]

My friends Misty and Allen just got this adorable little boxer-mix puppy yesterday. He is mostly boxer and 100% cute. He’s only about a month old I think. They named him Cambute which is Spanish for Conch. I am in love with him and am currently plotting ways to kill my friends and take their […]

I found this photo on Ffffound, but accidentally lost the link. Almost as funny as the last messed up translation, but I am pretty sure this one is more about some very strange cultural differences.

Pee right.
