Road trip! Who wants to go?

I came across a sketch revue show opening in Chicago in a few months, and from what I’ve seen so far it’ll be great. It’s called “It’s Good For You” and takes a dark, satiric look at high school, abortion, the media, and why we believe what we think is the truth. There are a [...]

“Hart”-less cheesy 1980s TV promos

If you live in this area, you know who Wayne Hart is. He’s the chief meterorologist at WEHT (channel 25, 11 on cable) and when bad weather is around, he’s the go-to guy for the latest info. What you may not know about Wayne is that before WEHT, he was on WLKY up on Louisville. [...]

Just a quick one this morning

Hi folks. I haven’t posted anything here in a while, I know, but hopefully I get better at this once my schedule is somewhat normal. To recap, our leapfrogging attempt last Friday failed horribly but I had fun. We went to eat at Hooters afterward and I fell in love with the buffalo chicken breast [...]

Hillary gets pwned

Watch all the way to the end. She screws up big time. I also like when right after she says something, Obama looks up as if he’s saying “wtf is she talking about?” FUNNEH. Either way, watch.
Edit: To clarify, I’m talking about pwnage by the audience.

Hong Kong Broadband commercial

Gotta love those Asians and their cute TV ads. I think this one is showing a dial up connection, and advertising the wonders of DSL. Either way, watch it. You’ll laugh.

Edit: I’ve found the general meaning in the description of another YouTube post of the same ad. “10 Kung-Fu-Fighting-Ants, representing the downlink in a traditional [...]

My YouTube video of a wall cloud southwest of Owensboro

I took this video just before 6 PM on the day of the tornadoes. It was linked to from Wikipedia, so there must not have been many videos of any storms that day. I’ll go ahead and tell you the video isn’t all that impressive.

An absolute must listen

See these guys?
They’re an intensely popular DJ duo from London. Hal Ritson and Cameron Saunders. Separately, they’re regular guys. But together, they call themselves The Young Punx. One of their tracks were in the FIFA ‘07 game from EA.
Either way, they have new music. This is the title track to their new album, “Your Music [...]

The best thing to come out of one of my local TV news programs. EVAR.

So over in Evansville, this guy got locked out and tried to climb in through the chimney. Got stuck. Firefighters had to knock a hole in the wall to get him out. Gets pwned by his girlfriend (?) while news cameras are rolling. Very funny.

Gmail: Behind the Scenes

This is the Gmail collaborative video from Google. It shows how an email “really” finds its way around the world. It’s quite humorous.
