Thanks to Kyle Bone’s (bone-ay) anti-shirt, I was able to finish the night laughing my head off, and so should you.

“Wax on…wax off” has just taken an entirely new meaning

Sent from a work associate as a counter to one of those “80’s” flashback links.

I can’t believe they were able to pull all the old cast members together for this. Amazing!

Sad Realization : Vista User Account Control

AddThis Social Bookmark Button

So much to say about Windows Vista’s User Account Control (which I’ve disabled on all my Vista boxes) has to be the most bloated, irreverent, obtrusive security methodology I have ever seen in an Operating System. However much I loath Apple and it’s hypocritical marketing tactics, I have to admit, they hit it right on the head with this one.

Here is the link to Apple’s ads page.

Pachelbel Rant

It’s late and I’m tired. Somehow I managed across this rant by Rob Paravonian. I think many of you can relate to the humor behind his rant on Pachelbel Canon.

I always come across the oddest things while shopping online. This time I was hunting a promotional coupon to my Newegg.com purchase and ran across a Digg.com post. Something is definitely demented about this clip. You be the judge.

Amazing Honda Choir Commercial

While driving home from work today I heard a plug on the radio for a commercial done by Honda. Apparently, they hired some famous choir to do one of their snazzy commercials. It was also being hosted on YouTube and freely available. So I did a search on YouTube for ‘honda choir’ and voila, the first item on my search results was this:

Now isn’t that just amazing. Well, that’s not the reason I’m writing, for in the related channel bar was another movie, one that made me laugh so hard I about fell off my chair. Now keep in mind, its important you watch the Honda version first, then the parody after.

Great stuff!!!

Naked Gun, eat your heart out

As a seasoned netizen, I feel it my moral obligation to post this clip. I feel so incredibly bad for her. The ones who should be blamed are the technical crew monitoring her every broadcast (or perhaps not monitoring in this instance.)

To be a child again

AddThis Social Bookmark Button

As part of our parental guidance strategy, Nicole and I occasionally discipline our children (okay, mostly Jaryn) by putting his toys in time-out (rather than putting him in time out.) On one occasion, we went as far as to permanently ostracize his RC car he had inherited from good ol’ dad by ‘throwing it away’. Obviously, I didn’t want to throw away my RC car, so we made it appear that the car had been eradicated.

Well, a few days ago I decided to resurrect the old thing (against my better judgment and Nicole’s wishes) and Jaryn could not have been more ecstatic. If you ever want to hear the excitement of a child compounded ten fold, just perform the miracle of resuscitating a long forgotten toy.

Anyway, last night we finally got around to putting in the new batteries but for some reason the pair would not function as we had expected. Jaryn was all about to throw a fit, when I realized the antenna had somehow broken off in the “eradication process”. In all my glory and grandeur I decided to resolve the concern by trying to place the antennae closer to the RC car, thinking that perhaps it was a communications problem between the two devices. Well hallelujah, the wheels began to spin and the engine was a purrin’ like a kitten. Granted you had to stay within one inch of the body of the car to make it work.

Now you realize I was moments from putting the poor thing out of its misery. However, after having experienced the splendor of wheels spinning and turning, Jaryn grabbed them out of my hands and began ranting, “see dad, it works!!!”. He then proceeded to bend down to position a functional remote control antennae close enough to a broken RC car to be able to send the life giving signal which enabled the wheels to spin and TADA, a living, moving work of electronics genius, all for about a foot or two until the connection was cut short and the Frankenstein Tyco was again, laid to rest just feet away.

But don’t you fret! My boy was on top of it. For each time he and the toy were separated enough to break the symbiotic relationship, Jaryn was on his feet, eager to position the antennae within inches of the car, again, bringing life to this otherwise lifeless being.

Yes, this ritualistic death and reincarnation scenario repeated itself the rest of the night with Jaryn screaming, “look mom, dad, it does work! Its not broken, see, it runs. Look, I just put the controller here, and it works, see!!” Oh to see a son jumping around wildly while playing a virtual game of leapfrog with his long lost toy.

Chalk another ingenious moment to my ever-aggressive and amazing son.
