L'ascenseur a le film de voyeur
Elevator Moods are films done specifically for the elevator surveillance camera. They are short and quite interesting. Limitations can be liberating.

I hate people


For some reason, I found the idea of Friendster interesting, but I really am more of an Introvertster type of person.

The Day Bush Was Screwed
Brilliant. I always knew Bush has some sort of hidden, secret fetish. Little did I know that it was for bald heads, and that it might bring down the world as we know it.

Is it news, or a blog, or a nonsensical combination of both?
The LJ Times takes snippits and pictures from various Live Journal blogs and compiles them together in a page that looks like a newspaper. Very clever aggregation.

Slackor
I admit it ... I am not going to Virginia. That's not why I won't be at work tomorrow. It's because I'm a big slacker. And tomorrow is my day.

Lego Hussein


Photoshop Saddam Hussein into your favorite pictures. Some are quite clever. Hmm, haven't I seen these pictures before?

This past weekend I managed to almost get one of my friends arrested (not to mention in trouble with his fiance), discussed getting a cabin in Lake Tahoe for the winter (hopefully near Kirkwood) and drafted my Fantasy Football team. All these events involved drinking prodigious amounts of alcohol.

My Fantasy Football team, the "Worse Than Autopicks" looks something like this:I'm relatively excited about the team. My performance the last couple of years has been less than stellar. Nothing makes watching every single football game interesting like having a vested interest in every game.

Football. Woo hoo.

The Fix is In
Some people have been asking me to fix their computer because they caught this silly ol' W32/Blaster worm. Here is what you do if you have it:
  1. Download either the Windows XP or the Windows 2000 version of the fix.
  2. Extract all the files in the ZIP file you downloaded into c:\rpcfix.
  3. Open two command prompts by typing cmd in the Run box off the start menu.
  4. In the first command prompt, type the following:
    c:
    cd \rpcfix
    fix
    This should complete the patch and restart your machine when it is done, without warning. Once it reboots, you should be okay.
  5. If, while you are running the patch, you see the window pop up with "RPC NT/AUTHORITY" or something like that on your screen that is threatening to shut your computer down, type this into the second command prompt window:
    shutdown -a
You can thank me later.

Wil Wheaton for Governor


I guess anyone can run for Governor. I'm voting for Wil Wheaton, because he can take Gary Coleman in a fight. And because he wears his backpack with two straps over his shoulders like a geek, not slung casually over one shoulder like the cool kids.

Knowing is half the battle, bi-atch


Nothing is cooler than taking pop culture and twisting it into a new art form. Eric Fensler has dubbed over the voices in the old G.I. Joe public service announcements at the end of the episodes. There are only four on his site, but the Metafilter discussion is a good place to find more.

Blogroll
I have too many blogs. Not only do I have special interest blogs, like those keeping track of my geekier persuits (namely Star Trek and Star Wars Galaxies), but I am in a group blog with my past and present roomates. Since none of us grew up on blogs, things don't get put there very often. I've also got my own meta blog, which I am (somewhat) proud to say now has pagerank. I usually put the crap I see there to seperate it from the personal crap I go through on a daily basis.

But I blog multiple times daily. I've got about five active blogs at work, two of which are used for daily reports. Most of the stuff I put into my blogs is work related, actually. I mean, Google pretty much runs my life. I eat all my meals there and if they actually had beds I would sleep there.

I also read way too many blog-like-pages.

I think it's time to find a life.
 
I am not Squidward
   

There are some interesting ideas out there. Bill Swislow has attributed the success of Spongebob Squarepants to the same dynamics that made Star Trek the phenom that it is. I have to agree. I am not sure I know what I like about these two shows, but it definately has to revolve around the acting powerhouse trifecta of Shatner/Nimoy/Kelley and of course the three animated buffoons at Bikini Bottom.

Crash Test Mayhem


Even though I have a multitude of video games at my disposal, I was still up until too late playing Truck Dismount. Various forums are awash with people discussing how best to injure the protagonist of the game. Personally, I need to see the videos of the high scores, because the best I could come up with was about 64,000 points.

Get to the Chopper!
Argh. Arnold is now a Running Man in the Total Recall. And it's not even funny. Although the fact that he is going to share the ballot with Larry Flynt is. A little.

Pirate Friends, not MP3s
Have you heard of this thing called Friendster? Neither have I, but it's a way to meet people that people you know already know. I guess that's good, in theory. But mostly it appears to be a good way to waste time and judge your popularity against others in tangible numbers.
