Get to know me for more than 2 minutes and you’ll probably start to get the impression that I like to laugh. A minute later you’ll realise that I tend to laugh a lot at really stupid things. Another minute, you’ll probably be wanting me to shut the hell up – but let’s not concentrate on that minute. That minute sucks.
Another video I’ve come to adore and give serious consideration towards adopting; Weezer’s Buddy Holly accompanied by a dancing troupe of Ferrets.
Watch it, bounce along to it’s happy little melodies, giggle a bit, then replay it.
And replay it.
And probably replay it again.
We all know how much Internet Explorer 6 blows. Developers have ranted on about it’s inadequacies for years now. If you’re not a web dev, but maybe know someone that is, chances are that you’ve been on the receiving end of a surrogate rant about it at some point. Today, however, Google might have done something to reduce the chances of such vitriol ever happening again. …
For those of you that I haven’t bored incessantly with this nugget of information over the course of the last year or so, I have recently upped sticks and moved from England’s pleasant pastures to the world of the Springbok, Protea and braai that will be forever South Africa.
More precisely; Cape Town. Even more precisely; Kenilworth (not that one, Midlands fans). …
Continuing my loosely flung together theme of smug self satified ‘joyful’ films I found on the web, the following peice of genius is something I only recently found – although has been doing the rounds for the last year or so. Initially used to promote the BBC’s iPlayer service, but also doing a fine job of showcasing the BBC’s wildlife programming and keeping ex-Python’s employed, it’s a marvellous bit of film making. …
Maybe it’s recent developments in my life; maybe it’s the fact that it’s no longer dark at 6 o’clock in the evening and my evening journey home is rapidly becoming a veritable joy. Maybe even it’s the fact that the wooden partitions around the outside smoking area of my local pub came down today – that is a far better herald of summer than any amount of freshly mown lawns, swooping swallows in the skies or short-skirted ladies on our streets.
In response to the plinky.com question: “You have to give away a million dollars. How?”
Yeah, I could just go around offering a million dollars to the first person I see – but let’s be honest here – if I’m the sort of chap that goes around giving away huge amounts of cash like this, then it follows that I’m also some sort of eccentric billionaire- bored with his hum-drum lifestyle of champagne, cocaine, high class hookers and jets. Someone who wants to bring something a little more to the lives of the ordinary people he’s spent years trampling over in his constant thirst for the filthy lucre. With this in mind, let’s get a little bit creative. …
First off- I want to wish everyone a very happy 2009. It’s a strange thing that most of the important people in my life, for all manner of reasons, have been looking forward to the start of this year or the end of 2008. The opportunity to start the new year with a fresh mindset is something that I’ve decided to fully embrace in all it’s clichéd glory and give Future Me a great year to look back on. So here’s the plan. …
I know the apparent meme of putting one film trailer’s soundtrack against video footage from another with hi-hi-hilArious results is as old as most hills you can think of, but sometimes, one chooses a couple of topics that just work nicely together. Think of it like a really good cover version of a song that you haven’t heard for a while – sometimes, both the coverer and the coveree benefit. …
The news of late is the teensy-tiniest bit depressing.
So depressing sometimes that the need for a bit of fluff in one’s life is needed. A little light hearted animal story, perhaps. So what do the world’s news agencies decide to teach us? …
