We like the moon!

Have you seen those Quiznos commercials with the freaking singing hamsters? They crack me up every time I see them. Both commercials are plain brilliant!

Well, the guy who created them makes that type of animation for some European commercials; he also makes his weird animations available to people on his website. Out of all the ones he has, We Like the Moon is definitely, positively, the most brilliant of all.

P-Unit

I see videos and flash animations here on the intarweb just about everyday. Few of them truly make me laugh and barely any of them make me want to tell other people about them, much less about them here.

But I came across one that I think it’s simply pure genious. It’s brilliant. It’s P-Unit’s “Generic Rap Song”.

The lyrics are hilarious. The beat is catchy. They got the personalities of each rapper down to a T. It’s great, specially if you’ve watched the music videos of most of the artists they parody, or at least know their style of music.

I recommend that you download the DiVX version of it if you have the correct codecs to watch it. It’s a 57MB download (plus the codecs if needed), but it’s well worth it.

Illegal Simpsons

If you have browsed my website, you may have come across this traffic signal picture. It’s north of San Diego, heading towards Los Angeles. It cautions people of illegals running across the highway. I love it. I specially love the kid flying.

Today, while watching TV, I saw an ad for a new Simpsons game. Does the logo look familiar? I love it.

Magical Kip

Do you watch Joe Schmo? If so, do you know who Kip is? (the gay guy)

Have you ever seen David Blaine’s Street Magic shows on TV?

I found his website. Go to it, the site will appear in a pop up window (it’s OK), then click on “It’s Magic” (3rd row, far right icon). Watch and laugh at a great parody of David Blaine’s style of magic. The kid’s comment at the end had me laughing for several minutes.

Google * infity + 1

If you thought Google was the best thing invented since the written word, there is now one more reason for you to bow at its greatness. It’s the Google Calculator.

You can go to Google and type something as simple as:
5*2+1 - and get an answer.

But what else can we type? I was bored so I started trying different things.

1 gallon in oz
57 mph in kph (57 miles per hour in kilometers per hour)
100 f in c (100 degrees Fahrenheit in Celcius)
83 * speed of light

And I’ll leave more experiments up to you, but just about every weird thing I tried worked. Take a look at the instructions I linked to above for even crazier examples.

April fools follow up

On my April Fools entry I talked about how Andy and I ended up on a roof waiting for a plane (which obviously never came).

Here’s a picture of us reading the sing that our coworkers were holding up for us all the way down on the street.

CDs are slow

Today, for the first time in years (I’m not kidding), I have put a music CD in my computer’s drive (or “chamber” as a student who called the helpdesk kept calling it). I was choosing songs to encode so that I could have them on my computer. Note to RIAA: I own the CD, I just want to take it with me.

I am so used to being able to click on any song and have it start playing immediately, that I thought something was wrong the first time I clicked on another track and had to wait about 1 second to start hearing my selection.

I’m spoiled. But I don’t want to go back to CDs.
