I’ve watched and listened to many funny tech support videos and saved phone calls over the years, but even though this one is staged, its one of the funniest I’ve seen in a long long time. I love his Halo/linux/XP multitasking skills. This one is a little long, but every minute of it is golden.

If you’re like me… then you really need some help, dude. But kidding and warped sense of humor aside, if you’re like me then you a) love internet memes, and b) cannot make it to ROFLCON 2008 *ARRGGG*!
Fear not, dear friends, for you needn’t An Hero nor sit at home alone in the dark all weekend. Instead, you can sit at home alone on the internet, watching live footage and updates and picture from ROFLCON all weekend!!!1SHIFT How fun?
Sauces include live video from ustream, a flickr pool, twitters, and bright kite. So as not to whore out other’s hard work, go to roflcon.org for the links to these delicious little media morsels.
I’ll be on most of these services as euicho, on and off over the weekend. If you see me on there, say hi!
With the rick-roll sweeping the interwobbles, inciting shenanigans and leaving lulz in its wake, I thought I’d school you on its interesting origin!
The rick-roll, like a good 80% of all other hilarious memes on the internet, cometh from teh 4chan.
If you don’t know what 4chan is, you’re lucky. It is the asshole of the internet. Seriously, don’t google it. Don’t… I mean it. Okay, if you MUST, read this [NSFW]:.
The rules, you’ve broken them. Two options here, an hero, or redeem yourself with particularly epic sauce. Your choice.
Happy New Year’s Day everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season — I know I certainly had a great one.
I had a great Christmas this year as usual. I really feel blessed this time of year when the family comes together and the cards all come in from relatives across the country. Mom flew up to see the baby and have Christmas with us, and I got to play and bond with baby Parker for a whole week. I was really glad to be able to see both Mom and Dad this year, and Amme and I had an all around great week with our families. I got some fantastic new toys this year, but I’m not the bragging type, so I’ll just say I am humbled by the generosity of all in my family (which includes Amme’s family). (More …)
I just had to share these crash-test compilation videos by jospi69 with you all. My favorite is the dumptruck vs. barrier in the first video. I like to shout “DENIED!” at the POI.
(More …)
To summurize do not get involved in a crash with anything that flies especially space shuttles. Tanks and trains are the way to go.
Doody took some videos with his new mini dv camcorder this past weekend that you should check out, especially the windmill project in Mars Hill, ME.
You can see all his videos on his user page.
Johnny AKA John Nells also has some great videos on youtube, including a bunch of amazing covers. One of the best Pumpkins covers on youtube is his one of Today, but all of them are really great. Go check them out on his user page. He also has a project called The Blue Field Entoptic Phenomenon. Check it out on myspace!

Turtle Rock Studios is developing a new Zombie survival game called Left 4 Dead, and it looks really rad. Left 4 Dead is meant for online play, and the coolest part about it is the face that you can play as either a survivor or one of the infected! (More …)
oh thats just awesome
man that game is gonna freak me out
like that video where they get overwhelmed cuz they damn fast and there are so many
i think you are right and they should allow more people to play in the game, even if they only allow 4 survivors it would be nice to allow as many infected as they can then
i emailed them and told them that haha
this work? grarararararar
Yeah it looks pretty intense! Lol is the posting function doing weird stuff? I upgraded wordpress so it may have a few bugs.
I’ve been watching this game for awhile, looks good. It releasing for 360 and PC at the same time so it should be fun for all.
Why was I not made aware of this sooner Jesse? I really love zombie survival games, though Stubbs the Zombie was a fun twist on the Zombie genre.
Have you heard yet? You havn’t? And you call yourself a gamer? Psht. I can’t believe you don’t know. Well, I guess I’ll tell you about it, because its so freakin’ cool. Its Starcraft, you see… its BACK!
Thats right, Starcraft II is in production, and whats better is they’ve released some teasers that are sure to make any gamer drool with longing and giggle with delight. Jesse has been bugging me to post about this for a little while now, but I’ve been putting it off like a bad little blogger. I apologize for depriving you all of this eye-candy so to make it up to you, I’ll give you links to the goodies first, and then give you a few highlights.
fucking a man, fucking a
I promise this isn’t turning into a video filter site, I’ve just seen some fun things to share with you all! Heres the last one for a few posts i swear!
Its a Bike Messenger race in NYC, and there are some insane squeezes and close calls. Notice the “skitching” (grabbing onto a moving car so they can pull you along) at about 3:10. And here I used to think motorcyclists had a death wish!
wow
crazy
I think the gist of Gonzales’ testimony is he does not recall.
Geezuz. I couldn’t even get through this whole video. I wonder if he gave them ANY information AT ALL? What a pussy way to plead the 5th amendment. I hope nobody believes him. If he has that poor a recollection he needs to step down and seek medical attention for amnesia.
Its a motorized snow-skate created by some engineering kids at the University of Waterloo, and its really, really awesome. Check the video out via MAKE.

When I took my first Telecom class in college, I learned about the 8 RBOCs or Regional Bell Operating Companies being set up after the AT&T monopoly was ended.
My teacher said although they were all former “Bells”, they had no joint interest. However, I wasn’t so sure. At that time, they had already begun to buy each other and were down from 8 to 4:
I had a scary premonition that day that this would keep up until there was again 1 company, or at least 2 companies with a joint interest…

When your aunt Patti and I read about something like that, our code phrase is “It’s just like Rollerball!”. In the original movie, corporate mergers have gotten so bad that there are only five corporations on the planet. They have names like “Energy”, “Food”, “Entertainment.”

Welcome to Part 2 of Mythbusters Goodies. In Part 1 we went over some neat areas of Jamie Hyneman’s M5 Industries website. In this installment, we’ll take a look at the eclectic and weird things on Adam Savage’s website, adamsavage.com. Follow along, children!

I know the idea of Microsoft finally releasing a new OS is cause for celebration among some (though for the life of me I don’t know why…), you may want to wait untill its been out for a while, before going out to grab a copy. Though it doesn’t release to consumers until Jan. 30th, some institutions can get a copy now, but as Wired writer Bruce Gain says, you probably don’t want to.

I don’t know Tom.. linux thats a big step. Next thing you know linux will be calling me just to talk, want to introduce me to its programmers and get upset when I use windows.
Linux can be a little needy but only if you push it do to things it really doesn’t want to do, like when you try to wine it to put your windows apps in its back door. heh.
Dude this one time Linux came over while Kristin was visiting her parents… and let me tell you we all found out how hard it was to plug and play backdoor appslications.
Yes I realize I put appslications, f#$k you all.

Damn I’m such a procrastinator. Thank you to those who trudge on with me despite the infrequency with which I post. I blame my tight schedule, and more recently, WoW (yes, I’ve become and addict. No I don’t know what took me so long. I though I was strong enough to resist, alas I am not). Mostly, however, the blame rests squarely on my own shoulders. Anyway, thank you again to my faithful readers. Moving on…

I wished they would go more into the engineering behind their inventions and rigs they build for the show. I know the average person wouldn’t understand 5% percent of it though so I can see why they don’t bother to elabortate.
Yeah but still, I agree it would be really cool if they showed more of tyhe engineering background. One the Q&A episode they did show the little black reference book they use for most of the equations and constants they use in their calculations.
Sure, it has a silly name, but if you want to get your whole family involved in hours of fun, want to experience revolutionary gameplay, and don’t want to spend hundreds upon hundreds of dollars for a gaming system, you NEED the Wii.
Nintendo is the only console creator left with originality and passion to push gaming to the next level, and it shows.
This system will outlast the next Xbox 360′s and probably the same for PS3. You’re right its one new innovation for controlers that revolutionizes the gaming world. The eye toy was cool and still is but this is way better. You get to play first person shooters and not have to use the z pad and right trigger instead its old school cops and robbers with you had as the gun. Even thought the graphics and processors of the system are great. The controler sells it. Its like pong only on a 1080i tv with a remote in you hand. Wiiiiiiii ( had to put that pun in lol)
Whilst looking through some old un-labeled cds, I came across a little gem I filmed with my friends winter of 2003 and edited into a trailer winter of 2004. Now here, winter of 2005, it seems apropriate I share it with the world.
(More …)
soo awesome
hahahaha
NICE>
Very Cool son……….awesome display of your creativity and technology talent.
Soooo good. I forgot how awesome this was. Now we just need to do the other trailers. And a film of sorts…
We definately need to. Wish we had more time this break.
Time? What is time, but what really is “free” time? Let’s ponder this question shall we.
Dictionary.com gives us the following definition for time. Time is: “A nonspatial continuum in which events occur in apparently irreversible succession from the past through the present to the future.”
Let’s see, “A nonspatial continuum”, hmm that sounds like there is no true way to measure time, and also it will never end. A good thing for those of us that just need more time.
“Irreversible succession”, does that mean I can’t go back and stop myself from calling my boss a miserable furry ball chin prick at the last company picnic? Guess it also means that I won’t be able to stop myself from doing it again (only with a different body part in question) this year.
My point here tonight Ladies and Gentlemen is that time is never really free (direct yourself to the company picnic for example) and we all will always have more time, sleep well and good night.
I just realized that at the end, where it says Loiter and “This film not yet rated.†It should say Loiter “This film does not exist.â€
Look. —>
Did you just cry out in unbridled joy and astonishment? Did the people around you all turn and stare?
I did. From my mouth flew an undecipherable gibberish that could only be described as “colloquial”.
Yes me boys, ’tis an iPod. Aye, she plays video. We knew it may come soon, but not this soon. I was all set to write an in-depth, lengthy run-down on big-eyed, petite vixen, but one of my favorites, Webfroot, beat me to it.
In that right, you really should read about it there. And I will give but a few facts to whet your appetite:
wow.
Too bad I still don’t have hundreds of dollars to spend on it.
Neither do I. I spent it all on visiting :)
Johnny: But you spend hundreds of dollars on music equipment ;P
Doody: lol yeah taking vacations will do that to ya, but wasn’t it worth it to see your friends? j/k
Of course man, of course.
P.S. You still have to show me/help me set up my section of the site in blog format if ever you get the chance. No rush though, I know you are busy.
Ipod: You’re dead, you’re all dead!
Other Mp3 players: Oh good, he thinks we’re zombies. Now he’ll leave us alone.
there once was a dog who shat on a board
man found this and said ‘wonderful, this is amazing’
he put it in a pretty box and sold it for $5
it worked so well he found the dog and put more boards under it
he collected all the shat boards and sold those too in pretty boxes
more and more people wanted them, so he got help
more people, more boxes, more dogs, more shat
he sold them for $20 now and sold hundreds
soon thousands, tens and hundred thousands
soon the boxes, boards and shats got smaller
but still the price went up, to even $50!
and the people stopped buying
they had had enough
too much shat for them
the man’s workers left, so did all the dogs
he had spent all the money, there was nothing left
nothing but the last box the last board with shat
he cried over that box
and clung to it until he could cling no longer
it was all he had, all he had ever had
let us not forget that man
Wow.
Not to make light of disease, but this is quite humorous:
via: Nyrath > MetaFilter > Wonderland > shacknewsHeres the skinny: Blizzard adds in a new instance: Zul’Gurub. Inside is the god of blood, Hakkar. Well, when you fight him he has a debuff called Corrputed Blood. It does like 250-350 damage to palyers and affects nearby players. The amazing thing is SOME PLAYERS have brought this disease (and it is a disease) back to the towns, outside of the instance. It starts spreading amongst the genral population including npcs, who can out generate the damage. Some servers have gotten so bad that you can’t go into the major cities without getting the plague (and anyone less than like level 50 nearly immediately die).GM’s even tried quarantining players in certain areas, but the players kept escaping the quarentine and infect other players.
