We're all moved in to the new (to us) house - getting settled in. Unpacking boxes, rearranging furniture, and re-hanging up all the pictures/mirrors/shelves/etc that I love to hang up on the wall. I'll have pictures up as soon as Shaw comes to set up the interweb in our house.

Demetri Martin vs Vista
Demetri Martin (of the Daily Show, now with his own Comedy Central special) is part of this viral/promo for Windows Vista. It doesn't do much to promote Vista, other than I just talked about it in my blog entry. Watch and enjoy - you'll laugh and cry at the same time.

Eat Like a Man
Kinda funny commercial - I really enjoy the fact that they destroyed the minivan. At first I thought the guy driving the minivan was just going to get out and join the 'parade of men' but when they lifted it off the bridge I got a surge of pride that there was one less minivan on the road.

Dang it - I knew I should have put more effort into this idea when I had it and now someone's beaten me to it: a portable bidet that doubles as a digital camera.
I'm not sure which is more funny, a portable bidet that doubles as a digital camera or flipping it around and saying a digital camera that doubles as a portable bidet?

Everybody Dance Now
This is what I picture Mark doing whenever Travis leaves.
And in a wierd coincidence, Apple just profiled the director for a new video of the same song that's apparently getting re-issued or something. Brilliant marketing or just dumb luck?

Holy Ghost Enema
I was just thinking we need more people preaching about enemas and butt-kissers. That's so postmodern.
Benny Hinn tries to cover up a video making the rounds on the net by threatening to sue. Brilliant.
One sure fire way to cover things up is by drawing a bunch of attention to it through a threatening letter from your crack legal team.

The Office
Kelly loaned me his copy of Season 1 of The Office a few weeks ago. I hadn't actually had a chance to sit down and watch it until this weekend. Hilarious. It's a bit crude a times, but then it's much like life... full of man-whores and drunken debauchery.

Random as random gets
Since I haven't done one of these in awhile, here's some stuff I've found on the web:
- Doughboy (flash req'd) - no explanation necessary
- Apple plans on having real jaguar's in their stores upon the release of their new operating system, codename Jaguar. (satire warning)
- Not for the easily disturbed: the BBC looks into where all the old computers go after they die
- web nerds like myself should check out webmonkey for some great web design tips
- These churchgoers were upset about getting a parking ticket while they were in church - giving us the quote of the week:
"People shouldn't have to go to church and worry about getting a ticket"
That's it for me... have a great weekend!

Something's fishy
Check out this site for a live shot from a Boston area aquarium. I could watch for hours.
Everybody to the limit. Annoy everyone around you with your speaker's cranked.
Sit on this. Just what I need right now after a filling lunch at Alexander's. Mmmm... chicken fingers and fries with dipping sauce....
To go or not to go, that's not a quote from either of these plays: Mark recommends you go to Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan. He's seen Hamlet and loved it and we're planning on seeing the Alchemist sometime as well.
Spidey dance re-hash
orry to all that have been looking for the spidey dance. I mis-labeled it in the img tag and so when it went to an archive (off the main page) it lost it's link. Since I don't have a search function on this site (yet!) and so you don't have to go searching through the archives to find it, I'll post it up here again:

I know your out there... somewhere out there
Some of you may have noticed the little graph-like icon at the very bottom of this page. If you click on it it takes you to the stats for my blog and near the bottom of that page it gives me a breakdown of where people are from who visit this site. I realize it's not entirely accurate since people could be telneting to other computers and then connecting to the web, but:
I pretty much know who's visiting this site from Canada and from the U.K. and even Australia. But what I'm not sure about is who's visiting from the US, Japan and Indonesia (as well as the unknown 4.1%). Chances are they just happened across this site by accident and won't be coming back, but if there is someone who's a regular visitor who's name isn't Lindsay, Christine, Kenton,Matt or Mark (well, you guys are welcome to send me an email as well!) please drop me an email.
Don't read the next section if you don't want to hear about Austin Powers.
We saw 'Austin Powers in Goldmember' yesterday. While it was quite funny at points and made us laugh it's also starting to really feel like we've done this all before. But they did manage to throw enough surprises and new material in to make it entertaining. What was kind of disturbing was the fact that they've rated the movie PG-13 for crude humour, sexual innuendo and language it should've been rated higher for the violence. If you've seen the movie then you'll know what I'm talking about. Mini-Me gets his butt handed to him on more than a few occasions in very violent ways. Sue and I couldn't believe parents would bring their kids to a movie like this - especially kids that were obviously 10 and under.
Such is our culture I guess.

Makin music and listening to it too
Another sample from a different tune Travis and I are working on. Click here to check out a sample from a tune simply titled 'Rock Song' for lack of a better term. It's very rough and was put together quickly in about an hour after I expressed a desire to write a rock tune with Trav. :)
Sorry for all those folks with AOL stock - it's a bad time to have investments that you want to take out, but a good time to buy in. I'm starting to sound like my dad. I'm sure this is exactly what he'd say if i asked why we lost $50 in one month's investment.
For those of you who know Lindsay Unger, check out the place where he's going to have his wedding. Makes me want to find a way to get there even more.
Apparently the war on Iraq is under way. Kind of scary when you think of the fact that they really haven't done anything.

Going to the lake
We're off to Waskesiu (is that how it's spelled?) this weekend - well part of it anyways. Hopefully the storm that's brewing doesn't get too nasty and we can have a good time out there with my family. We're all packing in to one cabin so it should be fun.
Saskatchewan air got sold on ebay - I think I know what business I'm starting next.
Get a free game compliments of the U.S. Army.
That's it for me - have a great weekend!

Free stuff, free games and a long weekend
No "Friday Funny" ô picture today, but just some good fun web wanderings:
If you like R.E.M. and haven't got this already, they're giving away 10 remixes (though it's actually only 6 different songs) on their website.
To get in the whole world cup spirit, check out Ultimate Soccer Showdown (some flash req'd).
Two ebay auctions for the person that has everything. First is Christopher Walken's suit from Suicide Kings, size large for anyone interested. Also, you can get yourself your own Sony Jumbotron - I know I could use one in my basement.

In 'I think you've got late charges' news, someone returned a book a library in Halifax 74 years late. Not only that, but it was actually due at a library in Michigan.
And lastely, I'll leave you for your weekend to mull this one over: A BC speed skater was tackled by a naked man during a practice one night. Luckily the skater was able to identify the man as a 'white male.'

And it's getting to do pics like this on our store webpage that makes me love my job even more. :)
Itching to buy a spaceship... I know I am
or today's crazy ebay auction we turn to the Russian space program - apparently someone has gotten their hands on a 1984 BOR-5 Space Shuttle Prototype (I personally prefered the '85 model with the power windows and locks, but that's just me). It can be yours for only $125,000US.
Things are getting crazy between Pakistan and India. Nuclear weapon use is a possibility - very scary.

Project: Denny's - to visit every Denny's restaurant in the world ... Indiana Jones 4 being worked on - Harrison Ford comes out of retierment to star ... Matt has got some new episode guides for Seinfeld and La Femme:Nikita up on his page if that kind of thing turns your crank ...

... futuristic cars and learning to play chess ...
misc. stuff from the web: if you've got $25kUS to throw around, you might want to bid on a futuristic car based on a Woody Allen movie ... if that doesn't tickle your fancy, you can learn how to play chess from Screech off of Saved By The Bell ... finally, check out the ongoing tennis matchup (and photoshop contest) between phil and carlos ... see if you can pick out which pics i did and which one phil did :)
