Adult Swim Ad Causes Bomb Scare

Adult Swim Ad, originally uploaded by Vanderlin.

Some idiot mistook this sign as a bomb. The Boston bomb squad came in and...

why am I bothering to regurgitate, here... read it for yourself.

Can you see this, Denver? I'm doing it as hard as I can...

Human Slingshot

What do you get when you mix one girl, one bungee cord, and one ATV? A human slingshot, of course!

Un-effing believable!

LifeDrive Discontinued

Moon Patrol

Moon Patrol, originally uploaded by macfixer.

It's 1989, I'm staying after school in the school library to play Moon Patrol on my high school's Apple IIe. I'm with Mike, David Erb, and possibly an Englebrecht or two... and my nemesis is this game. I'm absolutely lousy at it.

Now, courtesy of the internet and emulation, I can exact my revenge on Moon Patrol and finish the game! Woo-hoo!

Of course, this was only the 'beginner' level, and finishing it meant I had to then hit the 'expert' level.

I tell ya... some days, I just don't understand Windows at all.

This is what greeted me waking up this morning. I hear it's -6 over in Cape Cod, MA (hello Spivvy!)

That Just Ain't Right

Just found out a real close friend of mine found a growth where a growth ain't supposed to be. He's not worried, but I am. How messed up is that?

UPDATE: The tests came back negative, and my friend is fine. Which is cool, being that he totally thought it was cancer and that he'd need some heavy-duty treatment. Word.

My sister was in town this weekend, so we had a dinner that was an experience. It was a dinner for 7 at this place called "Rainforest Café" -- which is a jungle-themed place for families to eat. The kids get to eat things called Shrimpkins (don't ask) and The Volcano -- and the parents get to drink booze and drown out the pain caused by all the overactive kids jumping up and down while imitating the gorillas.

Yes, the place has gorillas , elephants, snakes, and butterflies (not real ones, animatronic ones). Wild stuff. In the middle of all of this chaos, Alex spilled his drink on his pants, and poor Erika had to run next door to the Gap and get him some new pants, which were not necessary because they had dried by the time she got back.

It's total sensory overload. They have all these animals making animal noises, a water fountain with Atlas in the middle, a overhead star scene (complete with shooting stars), and a thunder storm every 15 minutes, which spooks all of the animatronic animals. Did I mention the drinks for the parents?

...after all that, went to the kid's museum the next day.
Apparently we're all suckers for punishment.

It would look a lot like this:

Greatest Goal Ever!

This is funny. If my dad was a hockey fan (and whose dad is, I mean really...), I know he'd be yelling and screaming at the screen the whole time.

Unbelievable.

Saddam Execution Video

No, I'm not going to post a link to the video, because it can be found in all of the usual places. It's graphic, real, and raw. Should it have been surreptitiously recorded? Probably not. As one of the officials said when they saw the cameraphone in the hand of someone in the mob, "Please stop, the man is being executed, please stop."

Stephen Moss writes:

The man. Not the monster, the butcher, the tyrant. Saddam's killers have achieved the impossible: they have made us feel sympathy for him, for his grace under pressure. There may not have been dignity in the dying, but there was courage. A five-star death.

However, "this man" is not just any man, and the people most interested in seeing the video, Iraqis -- as we're being lead to believe -- wanted to see it firsthand. What better way to capture history these days? The future of video truly belongs to cameraphones. Maybe Time Magazine was right all along?

Apple's Teaser: What does it mean?

If you were to head over to Apple.com, you'd notice this picture:
What does it mean? You got me -- you'll have to wait for Macworld Expo like the rest of us. However, the strange glow has me wondering: "Does it have something to do with the new Mac OS X interface, AKA Illuminous?"
