ASDFQWERTy I can't think of a post title.

OK. So I set up a etsy shop last night, to maybe sell a few of my pictures I have taken, or some other odds and ends. I also have up there a couple geeky gamer things my sister has made, so please check out her Super Mario and World of Warcraft bead art, and maybe buy one or two.

So, here is how this next part is going to work. I made two youtube playlists, one is of summery summer music, and the other is funny summery activities. You can enjoy this any of three ways:

1. Watch the funny summery videos, then watch the summery summer music.

2. Press play on the summery summer music, and then turn the volume down on the funny summery videos

3. Don't watch either, and let me know to stop wasting time making these playlists and post more furry porn.

4. Play the music, while enjoying the rest of the post


And here are the Summery funny videos!


So universally Bioshock is hitting to rave reviews (minus the fucking secure-rom bullshit that they will eventually have to take out, and a few other launch bugs). Pretty much anyone who plays it realizes that it is a fucking gaming masterpiece.

So what do you think is going to be the response when you totally pan the game in a three paragraph review on your Sony fanboy site. Enjoy your bleeding ass. (click that second link folks, its still one of my favorite older school internet reads.)

Thank god our gov't is still doing things to protect us on some fronts. See The Ocular Penetration Bill Of 2007 Also from the ONN, The new gap kids, made by kids for kids line seems to be a huge hit!

Man, this is far superior to the lame little bunny foofoo shadow puppet I whip out for my kids from time to time.

ATHF Zombie Ninja Pro-Am Trailer I don't think I have ever seen a game title that more sums up what a game is all about. But they leave out that it also involves mini-golf. This game is going to be the best kart racing/fighting/golf game ever created. And in case you hadn't seen it yet, the intro the the ATHF movie is fucking genius.

Do you have several hundred old processors just laying around? Craft that shit up motherfucker!

I would have never thought of stacking dice as something even remotely entertaining, thank you interwebtubes. Man, some of these videos are pretty crazy.

I found the site Pirate Rehab a few months back, and its been a great place to find awesome freeware to replace things I maybe would have gotten previously in not so ok ways.

Anyways. Time for me to turn in for the night, I've been switching between this post, and trying to fix some dhcp errors on one of my servers at werk, so this post was a little bit shorter then I wanted it to be.. but I gotta get to bed, or else morning will be more hell then usualy. Enjoy the links.

Music n' links

So tonight I want to bring you some of the music I have been listening to lately, along with some links.

So here is how this is going to work. I went ahead, and instead of making a ton of links to youtube videos for you to clicky on, I made a play list of the Artists I am going to write about,  you can just click on the play right below here, and enjoy the music as you are perusing the links and such. Hope you enjoy!

 

 

 So the first band you are listening to, unless you are skipping this section of my post, is Gogol Bordello. They are a Gypsy Punk band. Yeah, you heard me. Heavily influenced by punk/rock/funk/and the traditional music of Romania and Eastern European, and Gypsy music. In 2005 the band (Especially the lead singer Eugene Hütz) were featured in the movie "Everything is Illuminated" which is fucking excellent, and where I was first exposed to the band and their music. Their albums so far are:

Voi-La Intruder - 1999
Multi Kontra Culti vs. Irony - 2002
East Infection - 2005
Gypsy Punks: Underdog World Strike - 2005
Super Taranta - 2007

Bonus Gypsy link!

 

The second Artist, and this bit will be short, is Cas Haley. He's a contestant on "America's Got Talent". I really could care less about the show, but the first time I saw a video of him on youtube, I thought to myself "This fucker needs to be taking Bradley Nowell's spot in sublime, and the band needs to start putting out awesome music again."

 

Now the third band, I won't lie about this one. It's a total guilty pleasure band. They are not something I can crank in the car, because I will get laughed at for being a dice chucking Fantasy nerd. But sweet fancy moses is fucking Dragonforce a bad ass band. Take INSANE speed metal, and combine it with crazy fantasy lyrics and the occasional video game noise coming from the smoking guitars, and you cannot go wrong. Supposedly they are going to be featured on Guitar Hero 3, and that would make even the most hard core players fingers bleed. But not as much as the Guitar Hero Dueling banjos. That shit is far more insane. Dragonforce has put out three discs so far:

Valley of the Damned - 2003
Sonic Firestorm - 2004
Inhuman Rampage - 2006

Anyone of those discs will gladly dress up in a unicorn fursuit and rape your favorite band's cds.

 

So that is that. If you liked it, please leave me a comment so I can know if I should do it again and some point. If you didn't leave a comment as well I guess, and then take that comment and shove it directly up your ass. On with the links.

For years now, I have wondered to myself: "Self, what would the peanut's gang look like if they were rendered in Anime?" Well. Question answered..

There are definitely some things that you choose to sacrifice running

Linux as your primary OS, and to be honest, wine just plain sucks running virii. Sorry to say it.. but its the truth.

I am a big fan of Survivorman, Les Stroud is the fucking man. Lately though, an imposter to the throne Bear Grylls, and his show Man vs. Wild has been getting a lot of show on discovery. Well, not only is Les just plain better than Bear, this clip shows that Man vs. Wild has no qualms about flat out lying to you, and Bear is a phoney.

I'm sure Cory has seen most of these when the originally aired, but hopefully there will be a few nuggets in here even for him.

Check out this video of Cyril Raffaelli, who may just be the heir to the Jackie Chan niche. He is still not as ninja as this guy though.

How many spidermen can fit into a Jamba juice? Make your guess then watch this clip from the Late Show.

Man. This video is hard for me to watch. Getting revenge on your roommate that had sex with your girlfriend is completely understandable, but did you have to fucking involve Boba Fett?

I had no idea at all that The Continental was a spoof of an existing show, I just thought it was some wonderful nuggets of Christopher Walken..

This is one bad ass backpack. I don't know if I could ever wear it in public, but that's only because I fear unleashing its awesome upon the world, not at all because I would be embarrassed.

Man, this skittles commercial is both awesome, and kind of sad.

These videos are from awhile ago, but watching these guys prank the dmv is fucking hilarious. I thought it was supposed to be harder for suspicious people to get IDs...

If this is seriously the explanation that I have been waiting for my entire life, I will be kind of disappointed. I have always been intrigued by the moving rocks of the the Racetrack Playa in Death Valley.

This video of a iceberg tipping over is pretty insane. Its easy to forget sometimes how huge these things really are.

My dad used to bowfish, but it was nothing as extreme as this shit. Wtf?

And finally, who doesn't love a little passive aggressiveness. These notes, chronicled for our enjoyment range from the inadvertently funny, the sad, then back to funny.

As always (usually) Your BLECH OF THE DAY!!! with bonus semi-related grossness.

8.12.2007

Holy shit.

Usually I don't post the political bullshit here. I leave the world of crazy ass politicians to my main man Cory at SpaceTomatoes, but I had to comment about this.

We need another 9/11?!

Apperantly thats what this fucking retard thinks.

I bet the general public will totally get behind this. Fuck, book me a plane.
Holy Christ.

Regardless how for or against the War you are, 9/11 was bad. No fucking good has come of it. (unless you run a major oil company)

I don't even know how to fully vocalize how completely fucked this article is. Stu Byofsky may quickly become the second most hated man in America (sorry, hell's got a special place reserved for Bush)

So Stu. Good luck in the future, as you see your career and dreams fade away. I was going to write a sentence about how if there was another attack I hope hes in it, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. The people who died that day didn't deserve it, and to say more people deserve to die just so we can fucking hop on the bandwagon with our bullshit fake patriotism and fucking sell more Lee Greenwood cds and flags, thats fucked.

Anyway. Since I've never really done a political rant before, and I feel kinda sick from reading that article, here is this, Sexy Stormtroopers.

Welcome to the new digs.

My old host is shutting its doors. jonsnews / jonslinks / whatever I called it at different points was hosted with Vectorstar.net for 7 years, and I'm sad to be moving.
But its also a chance to change. New name, a little bit of a tweaked design, I have a few other tricks up my sleeves. So hopefully this change will be for the better. Ah well, on to the post.
So right now, jonsnews.vectorstar.net is down. So If your finding this site. I'm not positive how. Once it comes back up, and until it dies for good, I'll put up some redirects. So if your here, bookmark this page and go ahead and get rid of the old address.
On to some content!

Oh god. I can't wait until I get to see "Minesweeper: THE MOVIE"

Wtf‽ Venomous Butterflies‽ This shit needs an interrobang.

I love Old Grandma Hardcore. Who doesn't, I've also got to enjoy the frustration that you can experience in Overlord. Its a hell of a game though. Give them shit granny!

While I still think that "Let Forever Be" is one of the best Checmical Brothers videos, their newest, "The Salmon Dance" is very very good.

Awhile back, I linked the flickr set of a fellow named Goopymart called "teh internets", which was quite awesome. Well now Ape lad has made a similar set, of http error codes as comics.

Tee hee hee, is tiny little ninjas!! Whats worse than tiny ninjas? Tons of ninjas, can there be too many ninjas?

Check out 'The Glitch' a short movie starring the piefucker, Jason Biggs.

WTF!? A man with a tail?!?!!?!?

God. Ironman is going to kick incalculable amounts of ass.. I cannot wait. Oh yeah, and Kevin Smith is still the shit. I can't wait to see his season opener for heroes...

And to wrap up this tiny little post, a first (I think). I give you:

THE MULTIPART BLECH OF THE DAY Now with bonus wiki-power!

So anyways. Welcome to the new site. Its the same as the old site. Night night.

This sucker's electrical, but I need a nuclear reaction to generate the 1.21 jigawatts of electricity I need.

I know you guys remember that line from Back to the Future. I came across it today while looking up some information on IMDB. Long story short, the trivia page mentioned that the writers had hear the Jiggawatt pronunciation at a science conference, and liked the sound of it. According to Wikipedia "A prominent example of the soft G pronunciation is found in the 1985 movie Back to the Future, where gigawatts was pronounced as jigawatts"
So what I propose is this:
Lets bring jigga back. From now on its jiggabytes and jiggahertz. Fuck yeah, my PC has a 3.0 jiggahertz core 2 duo. and 500 jiggabytes of HD space.

On to todays how-to videos. Learn how to make a massive smoke bomb complete with pull ring fuse! Sweet!

I read the "His Dark Materials" trilogy a few years back. Still one of my favorite reads of all times. I honestly cannot wait for the movie. Judging from this trailer, its going to be the tits.

This is seriously the pinnacle of the whole "ghost riding the whip" thing. Seriously. Stop now..

Now its time for some beautiful music to sooth you.

My man Joel sent me this the other day. Its seriously one of the funniest things I have ever seen. My wife and I have watched it probably about 100 times by now. I can't get enough....

Is there anything cooler than a giant tesla coil playing the super mario theme with lightning bolts? Probably, but its seriously fucking cool....

And heres a BLECH OF THE DAY for all you DIY'ers!!!

Have fun kiddies. Lots more to come now that I finally got all my news feeds caught up from vacation..

6.25.2007

I'M IN UR X Ying your Z


Super-Size Me (with Whiskey!)

Why are people so fucking retarded? Don't they realize that when they give their kids names like "Urhines Kendall Icy Eight Special K" (Pronounced Yourhighness, and Special K after the drug Ketamine) or "4Real" that they have to walk around with those for the rest of their lives?

I usually try to keep my distance from 'american idol' type crap. But this guy from a recent America's got talent is really good. I would totally buy some of his music.. if.... you know.. I actually bought music..

PEW!!!! its Nintendo Papercraft! New desk toys!!!

This is the very exact reason I fucking hate amusement parks! Fuck that shit..

Oh man.. I have spent WAY too much time looking through this extensive list of Macro's from the 4chan boards.. some fucking awesome shit here.. and oh yes.. Cat Macros..

This post now with bonus lolcats! Is it wrong that I subscribe the rss feed from that site?

About a month ago, Chris from cutewithchris posted a video of him performing the lyrics of "Buy You a Drank Shawty" which I thought was fucking great, since then I have been scrubbing his archives and the guy is actually rather funny. Since then, He's also "covered" a interview with T-pain, and dealt with the comment fallout from his video from the internetidiots.

mmmm Hopsicles!

Ok. So this dress technically has not inside, so if you have it on, are you actually naked? God I love mobius strips, and Klein bottles...

And finally. The (not totally gross) BLECH OF THE DAY

6.18.2007

Because not knowing how to cook, is like not knowing how to fuck.

I'm sure you all already knew that Robert Roderiguiz is the fucking man.

No?
Well. Its fucking awesome. Like everything he does.

How to irragate your nasal passages.

It does what the title says.

Hello. I'm a Marvel. And I'm a DC.

I saw this quite some time ago, and its still one of my all time favorite fan made starwars videos.

Here is a pretty neat Acapella performance from Imogen Heap. Its neat how she layers her voice.

I allmost allways point my key fob at my head in order to unlock my car from a greater distance. In case your not, watch this video to learn the whys and hows.

God save the queen.

I just read this article over at HardOCP about framerates in Vista Vs. XP. Here's my list of things I love about vista:

  • Its freaking huge! Think of all the empty hard drive space you can get used up!
  • Just the OS needs a gig of ram! Hooray for upgrades! Two gigs if you plan on running solitaire and word at the same time.
  • It’s secure! Who doesn’t like having to click 3 times to allow every single thing they click on to run. Thanks for taking care of all that spare time MS!
  • It’s backwards compatible! It will run practically dozens of older applications!
  • It will help reduce those ridiculous frame rates I get when I play games!!
  • Its pretty!!!!11!!!! Who needs functionality?!
  • ReadyBoost! Cause your going to need to squeeze every bit of performance out of your PC if you plan on running Vista.

Fucking A. Seriously.. Some of those games the Vista framerate was HALF as much as the same game in XP.. Go microsoft!

Heres a fun flash shooter game to check out!

This is bad assed. I want one of these for my bedroom!

Super Glitch Bros. What the fuck!?! He's upside down, Oh god now hes standing on thin air?! I allmost like some of the glitched music better. Kinda chip-tone. Read the video description for how he did it.

Howstuffworks: Lightsabers

I thought Harry Potter was a bit familiar.

A softer world, is an awesome webcomic made from old photographs. I really dig it.

Thats right.. Mother fucking Zombies, on a Mother fucking PLANE!!!

Well.. Thats it for me.. time for LOTRO.

5.07.2007

A little sumpin sumpin to keep you busy.

Posts may be sparse for a bit. LOTRO is really good..

So heres a little nugget for you. Probably one of my favorite episodes.

Thank god for wikipedia

Online MMO Risk! Fuck yeah!

New tower defense game! Protect the server!  I think this is one of the harder ones I have played.

 

Ok.. 30 minutes later.. god that games addictive.

Neatorama had a cool article up about 30 strange animal mating habits. Entertaining read. I'm glad I'm not a bee.. That's all I'm sayin. Here's a quote:

"Actually, "court" may be too strong a word: the male giraffe basically follows her around until she gives in and lets him have her!"

Sounds like marriage...

Oh, and Cory, It mentions the dolphins prehensile penis...

Here are 12 quick and easy steps to being a computer security idiot.

This is a great article about the history of batmans vehicles.

I don't know if this is fake or not. But its still kinda funny/creepy. Just don't tell Ryan.

King of the cul-de-sac!

Here's a bit of trend spotting for you. I predict that ASL (American sign language) intrepretations of rap songs are going to be a upcoming internet meme. Cause if the quality on that video was better, I would label that shit as totally fly. Look, you can do it to other generes too, like rock, oldies, 80's greats, top forty, but sadly, not nü metal. It makes that shit gayer. And not this.

What you know about math? Punk!

If you've never seen Chacarron before, you need to watch this video.

Now this is the part of the post where I link to good music that doesn't suck:

I have loved Tenacious D since their show way back in the day on HBO (I think it was HBO). They are still kicking ass. FWIW this is one of my favorite episodes. And here is a YouTube playlist with all the episodes.

Here's a video of the Blue Man Group performing "Baba O'Riley" by The Who

Queen. Live at Wembley Stadium. Fucking awesome.

This is one of my all time favorite videos.

This is where I end the part of the post where I link to good music that doesn't suck. Until next time.

This tiger has HUGE BALLS.

And here it is. the BLECH OF THE DAY!!!

Thats it for now. More to come. Stay tuned.

Desktopography is some high end shiney for your desktop wallpaper.

Overlord and Razorwire are the two most l33t haxx0rs in the world. Watch their adventures. When I saw the first video I thought that it would be perfect for acceptable.tv. And guess what, now its on it!

Its still not as good as Gemberling or Sockbaby! Go tell your alien brothers that Ronnie Cordova says their GAY! I don't know why, but I still think that Sockbaby is one of my all time favorite things on the internet..

I think some of my very first links on this site were to X-Entertainment, and they've consistantly cranked out quality content on that site for quite some time. So check out this artice about Dead Sodas.

I know the description of a turn based fighting game doesn't really sound the most fun, but I tell you what, the first time you rip your opponents arms off, and uppercut his head off you'll be addicted.

Stupid lusers.

This game is a pretty good take on the traditional Arkanoid/Breakout mold.

WTF is this?

Here is a video of a homeless guy bringing down the house at the Apollo, and here is a short documentary about him. Its nice to see someone commit themselves so fully to something they love to do, and not do it for the money. I'll tell you what, if this fucker was on Americal Idol I would watch that shit..

This is a pretty amazing video (actually a few pictures put to a song) of sand floating on top of the ocean, and a new island being born.

I asked my wife if I could get one of these, she totally shot me down.

You have gotta watch this video of these four japanese guys doing the robot... awesome..

This seems like a good enough reason not to fuck with the Policia is Spain.

Its nice to see some people fucking with those Nigerian scamming spam bastards. Good stuff..

The "This Old House" website has some funny articles up about retarded home design. Good stuff.

Every day this guy draws a new monster and posts it on his website. I love his art style, and the videos of him creating the monsters are really quite impressive.

The best part of wakin up, is hot links in your cup..

I'm in the process of finishing watching the "vengeance" trilogy by Chan-wook Park. I would have to say out of three "Oldboy" so far has been my favorite, I am just finishing "My Lady Vengeance", and "Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance" was pretty badass. His directing style is quite stunning, and all three movies are visual treats. I loved the one-take fight scene in Oldboy, probably one of my favorite fight scenes of all time.

On to the linkies!

Wow.. talk about old school internet greatness. All your base belong to Calvin and Hobbes.

Is Batman the greatest ninja of all time? He's definatly in the top ten according to this list.

Slashdot has a pretty interesting post about bugs as features in programs. Interesting read for the comments.

Jim Halpert is Dead?!?!?!!? If your not watching The Office, do yourself a favor and go get the first two seasons and catch the fuck up. Also, if you haven't seen the I.T. Crowd yet, get the fuck to it! And while I'm speaking on TV stuff.. get "The Mighty Boosh" as well.. Genius stuff!!!!

What should I do with 300 porn DVDs? Questions like that are the reason I love ask.metafilter. Also, Adam Savage posts there occasionaly, which is kinda cool.

This is some horrible live action Street Fighter goodness..

Allthough I'm not a huge fan of their name change from dailyWTF, to worse than failure, the content is still as gooas as ever, so check out this wonderful error message.

Fucking MC ROVE in the hizzouse!!! The rappin resident! Colin Mochrie on the beatbox!Now with bonus old school linkage!!!!! Its Princess Leia the yodel of life!!! ahh the headly innocent days of the internet, when the sky was the limit.. now its all mashups and torrents and blah blah blah. Oh god.. I think I may be becoming a internet geezer. Doomed to sit on my porch in a rocking chair mumbling about animutations, and the day we were set up the bomb..

Want to fix computers the GeekSquad way? Then check out their leaked manuals.

Check out this crazy flash life sized whale!

I've never heard of this band, but the songs pretty good, and the video is very cool. Filmed entirely in reverse for some cool effects.

A conversation at the Grownup Table, as imagined at the Kids table.

Did you know that the Super Mario Brothers song has actual lyrics? Me either!

Dear video game industry, please note, this is how you sell video games. LOTS AND LOTS of video games.

Ok. get ready for two crazy ass videos, Human Slingshot and Robot Ride.

Man these are some very pretty desktop backgrounds.

Ok.. I think that should keep you crazy kids busy for awhile. But let us not forget our BLECH OF THE DAY!!!!

3.28.2007

bleep doop bleblebe beep

Hmm I read some news sites this morning, and joystiq has a pretty decent article about how "dwarf fortress" is the future of gaming. Man.. If there was a tight gui for it, it would rock even more ass..

I think one of the things I love most about it, is the different game modes, and how they interact with the persistant world. If you play a few successful games of Fortress mode, and build some awesome dwarf civilistaions that create some epic weapons, later you can play adventure mode and discover the ruins of your old civs and plunder the loot you created before. Everything in this world functions and has names. Everthing is also generated when you first run the world generator. Its a awesome game if you get into it..

So, on to subject number 2 for todays post. Faith.

I have faith. I don't talk about it much, unless asked. I don't feel its my right to judge others based on their faith, or any other factors. But HOLY SWEET FANCY MOSES! How can some people of faith be so stupid?!?!?!! I watch these two videos, notice their complete lack of a grasp on science and reality, and then I want a peanut butter and bannana sammich. Ok. I guess in the second video maybe he is unwittingly touching on some quantum physics, because I guess that while the lid is on the jar, the peanut butter could be in multiple states (there/not there/a teeming civilization).

If you've ever played any of the "grow" games (Grow RPG being the best IMHO) then you may enjoy this.

Ever wonder what would happen if you throw a big bowl of dry ice into a hotel swimming pool?! Pure awesome.

My daughter and niece just typed that last bit.. I'll leave it in there, just cause..

Sweet god. I've allways despised Alex Albrecht. This clip has made it all worth while.

Could the Onion be coming out with some compitition for the Daily show?

Hmmmm did this guy travel into the future and meet the future version of himself? His cameraphone says yes..

And to wrap it up, there are some real jems in B3ta's Bumper Book of Sick Jokes.

Oh it would've been, could've been worse than you would ever know.

I'm really digging the new Modest Mouse cd. Its pretty bad-assed. I've been a fan of theirs since like 2000 and its great to see them getting some recognition. If you haven't seen it yet, check out their new video for Dashboard, its fishtastic.

Pimps up, Ho's down, Gmod is in da club!

See.. Ideas like this are what make our society great. "Hey Honey, Tonight I need you to taser me while I'm shotgunning a beer! Yeah yeah, I know it sounds crazy, but its going to be GREAT!!"Its how great things are born.

I;m sure you've all seen the exploding whale video. If not, you should go back through the packet you got when you first used the internet. I know its in there.. Well anyway, I had no idea that they tended to blow up by themselves.. GROSS!

God I love me some 'This American Life'. I'm excited for the upcoming Showtime show of it. Also I'm pumped that they are finally offering free MP3 downloads, and not just streaming realaudio versions of the show.

So yeah.. Short one today.. Maybe tommorow I will get to pick through my "bag o' links" some more.

Get ready to have your tiny little minds blowen.

Hooray! I have finally found a offline blogging software in ubuntu that I really like. Bleezer is pretty sweet! If your a linux user and blog, then definatly check it out. It works great in windows and mac Os too (cause its java based) so feel free to check it out if you haven't switched yet.

In a few moments I am going to link to you, what I feel may be one of the most in depth and insane games I've ever played. I've put a huge amount of hours into it, and still have barely scratched the surface. It's one of those games that the first time you play it, you'll probably dismiss it.. You'll download(4.8megs and its amazing) and play it for about 5 minutes, and then exit.. But then an hour later you'll get that nagging feeling in a dark recess of your mind. Maybe it was me.. Maybe I need to give it another chance.. And if you do, you'll discover that your made some fool mistake, read some more of the help files, or check out the wiki and plunge back into it.. And quite honestly, you'll think of games in a different way. It's seriously that good.. Its like watching a whole world unfurl in front of you, and your in control. Some people will be put off by the "graphics" but get over it.. If you do, you will be changed.. I can't say it enough, the more I play this game, the more I fall in love with my little dwarfs..The slogan of the game is "Losing is Fun!" and its true with this game.. It is amazing to watch the world grow over each successive play.

Ok.. So onto the "meat" of the post.

TONIGHT! WE DINE IN HECK!!! a Family Friendly version of 300

This is how the truely hardcore eat their pancakes!

Girls costume warehouse. We got a lot of fuggin costumes here!

I love me some Mc Chris. Check out his take on Kingdom Hearts 2 Vs Resident Evil 4

Is it possible that Linux MCE could be better than Windows MCE? Check out this video for a side by side comparison.

Mmmm Yes.. I'd like a 'Big Bowl bow of immerses from fish head' and a 'Fragrant bone in garlic in strange flavor" Please..

Sometimes you need to look back and ask yourself, was dyeing my hair worth it swelling up to giant football size?

This is probably one of the coolest pieces of WOW fan art ever.. I love this pic.

This is why you're not allowed to play with my action figures!

I've been considering learning the art of 'wet shaving' for awhile now.. maybe I should..

I know I can't be the only one who has wanted to see what would happen if you microwave a furby...

Man.. I think I posted this awhile back, but i can't get enough of watching a windows install get throughly raped by spyware..

I love this french ad for "March of the Penguins" Its genius!

This SOOOOO badly needs to be made into a series on cartoon network's adult swim..

Call me a traitor

Well... I switched a couple weeks ago. Both at work and at home. I'm running Ubuntu full time at home, and duel booting at work, only when I need to do something with Infopath.

Overall I have to say I am really impressed where ubuntu has brought the linux desktop experience. My wife adopted it without a problem. She's using it exactly to the level she was using windows before. I would allmost feel comfortable switching my mom. Its seriously that good now.

With the package mangers, installing new programs is a breeze. Pretty much everything just worked on both of my installations. The only real tweaking I had to do was at work, getting my dual monitors working the way I wanted them..

But.. enough about that.. On with the links!

If you're a security minded person, feel free to follow the NSA's guide to locking down your PC.

Next time your having a shit day, pop open these pictures and you'll feel better..

Man.. What would I do without crazy ass Japanese TV shows? Watch it till the end to see the Natto Bomb!!

Man.. This looks like the most delicious swarm ever!

Haha. This clip of people who have no idea how to handle a rifle shoot a really high caliber gun is quite funny!

This is the same method I use to cook my steaks. Watch this video for the key to making a perfect steak..

Well.. My supper is done.. so I guess thats it for now.. I gotta get through all the links I got sitting here waiting to post.. so stay tuned for more.

Turn around, bright eyes...

I can't even count how many levels of crazy this shit is.. so watch it and enjoy.

 

Check out this bad assed TV Guide thingy.

 

Jonathan Coulton, the genius behind "Code Monkey" and "Re: Your Brains." (You can hear the songs and more, or even purchase some of his awesome music on his site) did a cover of Sir Mix-a-lots classic "Baby Got Back". Now someone has taken that and sync'd it with the original video. Its cool because all of his stuff is released under the Creative Commons liscense, which means that cool little projects can use it to make new content.

 

Man.. Imagine looking at your town on google maps and seeing this shit overhead!

 

NWA's Fuck the Police, censored in real time.. Funny shit..

 

What if we took a Harry Potter book and replaced every instance of "wand" with "wang""

 

Oh god.. Its Rap-Cat. Yeah Boyeeeeeeee

 

I know you've all been waiting to see what a Japanese Bruce Willis would look like.. So here you go!

 

Everyone loves to see people getting the sweet fancy moses scared out of them.. So, enjoy!

 

Ugh.. well time for magic beddy by land.. more tommorow.

All that...

 

And a bag of chips!

 

I'm a fan of "Tower Defense" games, heres a pretty sweet one where you can create a maze out of them.

 

I thinkjust about anyone that knows me, knows my love for Non-newtonian fluidss. So here are some sweet videos of them.

 

Henry Rollins: A Love Letter To Ann Coulter

 

Here's another bad assed time wasting game. Navigate a field, and then avoid versions of yourself going back in time.. Its a weird game that I found pretty addicting for awhile.

Basic Instructions. Your all inclusive guide to life well lived.


Nanaca Crash. I don't know what the fuck this is, but I can't stop playing it! My current best is 2009.56m. And they were right. If I liked that game, I also loved Pio Pio!

Here's another great David Sedaris piece from the New Yorker.

This would seriously suck. I would have pissed my pants.

Valentine for Perfect Strangers. I don't even think my brain has words to describe this.. Its pretty fucking.. I dunno.. Some of the youtube responses are great too.. I think one more link, and this becomes a certified Balki-Bonanza. So lets DO IT!

Here are some funny graphs. Enjoy!

Nobel invented dynamite. I won't accept his blood money.

I've been catching up on House MD lately, and I have to say it's quite enjoyable.

Holy shit! I want a cyclone of flame!!

I wish they made regular glasses frames like these!!!

I guess it makes sense.. What would you do if you found a alien? Pour some fucking wimpy sauce on that bitch and toss it on a bun!

Leave it to the Japanese to come up with a horror movie about hair extensions.

Sweep the leg Johnny! It is pretty cool that they got alot of the guys back together from the original movie to make this video.

And to be the creamy whipped topping on this yummy post. Your BLECH OF THE DAY

Postin in the boys room

What I learned from TMNT.

I think I posted some youtube clips of "Let's Paint TV (and Exercise and Cook Too)" but goddammit for some reason I find it insanely motivational every time I watch it.

I've been a David Sedaris fan for quite awhile. Here's a clip on youtube of him reading one of his essays on David Letterman.

This chair is crazy! I want one!!

Go US Immigration! Rip those anal stitches out!!

Web 2.0 ... The Machine is Us/ing Us This video is very very cool. Its a well done example of how the web is changing us, and the written word.

Warning

I do not think I am doing that BLECH OF THE DAY I posted in that last post enough justice.
DO NOT CLICK ON IT. It cannot be unwatched. I watched about 5 seconds and had to stop. God damn.
But really.. You've been warned..

Got things fixed finally

Hurra!

Posting can begin again.. I accidently trashed my new design in the process of fixing things.. So I just grabbed a default template that I'll work on tweaking later.


213 Things Skippy Can't do in the US Military


Cats that look like Hitler

I've been playing this game for a few months now on and off. Its a pretty cool idea, a turn based fighter.

Oh shit, the new Star Wars Gansta Rap is even better then the old one!

I'm going to warn you right now. This is by far the most disgusting BLECH OF THE DAY I have EVER EVER EVAR POSTED!!!!111one!!!
