I would just like to say that this is, officially, the scariest room one could possibly be trapped in during an earthquake.

Pointy.

"There She Is!", A lovely new Flash music video that's been circling the net, and by "new" I mean "on the net for a good 8 months now, but I only just saw it". The song's in Korean, and so's the animator's homepage, so I can't say much more about it than: Yay.

Everyone Else Has Had More Sex Than Me

A little bit of research shows that this the actual music video for the autrailian band TISM, whose costumes explain the hooded fella with the keyboard. They held a "Short Film Competition" a while back looking for a good video for their next album, and this wonderful peice by Bernard Derriman of Longueville NSW was the winner.

For the curious, the runners-up, and an alternate version of the winner, are availiable for viewing on the contest page, although all entries are either in Windows or Quicktime format, not their native Flash format. Anyone know where to find the Flash versions of these guys?

i love links. good, fresh, links

Imagine the joy that you can bring to your children's lives with a 5Ft Usb Cable. When they see their friends, they'll say with pride, "I have a 5Ft Usb Cable. Don't you wish you had a 5Ft Usb Cable?" A neighborhood craze for 5Ft Usb Cable would ensue, and you could relax knowing you started the 5Ft Usb Cable revolution.

The Pac-Man Cafe in Orlando, FL. (photo). An entire resaurant/arcade dedicated to the yellow guy himself. On one hand, just the thought of it is cool. On the Other hand, it's kind of sad: like JC Herz mentioned in Joystick Nation, there's something very sad about finding something from your childhood that you experienzed in a very raw fashion... sticky unwashed cabinets, the faint scent of cigarettes and beer in some dark, isolated back room... and seeing it so.. primped-up, family friendly, and safe.

But that's not why I'm posting about it here. This is. The cafe's menu. Scroll down a couple pages and you'll see what I'm talking about: Custom-Shaped Pac-Man Pizzas.

Custom-Shaped Pac-Man Pizzas.

In other words, pizzas we already took took a slice out of.

If you haven't seen "Badgers" Yet, go here. Once you've explored Weebls-stuff, wait a week or so to reccouperate and then go see what's eroding at my santity lately: Bananaphone.
Finally, I've got me a new photoblog. I just finished off posting a bunch of pics from my Choir Tour to England back in 2000. New pics'll be a little sparce for a while, as everything's hosted on flickr, and while I love flickr will all my heart and soul they only give you 10MB of upload bandwidth a month. Annoying, but it's better than 10MB of diskspace.

I was reading the (often humourous) Arcata Eye Police Log today and something in the most recent post struck me as (unintentionally) funny:

8:09 p.m. A different woman happened upon what looked like her stolen bicycle locked up outside an I Street store. She tried the combination on the lock, and it unlocked. Police determined that it was indeed her bike.

While I do appreciate the fact that the thief didn't think to change the bike-lock before going on their daily errands, the fact that the thief used a lock at all cracks me up.

The log doesn't mention anyone getting questioned or arrested, so I assume the cops just let the lady take her bike back and left... So I wonder: When the Thief came out of that store on I street and noticed that the illegally-acquired transportation was gone, do you think they said to themself "Someone just stole my bike?"

I'd have to check up on this, but I think it's been a good three, four months since MS announced that hotmail was raising it's mailbox limits from 2MB to 250MB. It Finally happenned tonight.

Of course, they had to wait until right after my Summer Vacation was over.. right after I spent two weeks without internet, running to the public library each day so I can empty my hotmail of Spam and not lose any potential incomming emails.

So yeah, if you want 250 megs of email space, you can go out and get yourself a hotmail. (as if you don't already have one)

Or you can ask for a GMail invite.

That said: Hi. I'm back.

Semi-informative For The Confused Americans

2004-08-22T01:48:00.000-07:00

For anyone watching, or trying to watch the Olymipics, there has to be at least one point where you're watching the screen with no idea whatsoever as to what's going on. You know that that guy in the green spandex is trying very hard to accomplish something, and that the Kenyans in the stands are getting very excited about it, but you, personally, are clueless. For the apartment here, that moment came when the announcer mentioned that they were in the middle of an event called the Snatch, and that following soon would be the Clean & Jerk.

Well, just in case you catch yourself scratching your head, remember this site: Sports Animations from the official Athens 2004 Olympic Games website.

Flash-animations demonstrating the Olympic events in a very professional, PowerPointy manner. Never before have I felt so imformed about Table Tennis.

Wonderful.

Official @Delphi Competition 5 final leaderboard:

1. BKBroiler 60.75
2. sdjunglist 56.5
3. supima 55.5
4. bluej 54
5. hippos 53.25
6. critch 52.5
7. Walstib 52
8. jccohen 50.5
9. spiritauthor 46.5
10. soc151 46.25

My predictions were off by just a tad, as you can see. The Broiler managed to pass sd.. I managed to pass critch.. and everybody in the top six managed to score another 10 points before time was up. Interestingly enough, hippos and I kept our places and none of us fell out of the top 6.

And Now, back to your regularly scheduled irrelevance.

Just my 3¢

A Battle For The Ages

2004-07-31T15:23:00.000-07:00

Bill O'Reilly Vs Michael Moore

Never Mind. Bandwidth Limit Exceeded... I'll look for a mirror.

Never Mind that Never Mind, the main site seems to be dead, but the page I'm linking to seems to be just fine.

Blast it all. Everything's dead. Either wait it out for RichWatch.net to come back online or find it on your own. Best of Luck either way.

Instead, here's another battle for the ages: The current @Delphi top 56:

1. sdjunglist 45
2. critch 42.5
3. BKBroiler 41.75
4. bluej 41.25
5. hippos 41
6. supima 41

With the competition ending tonight at Midnight Central, there's no question: sdjunglist will be winning this competition. Just below him is critch, the same guy who knocked me out of the top 10 at the last minute during last month's GMail completeness. We must be two people with very like minds, since we're constantly within just a few points of each other. At third is BKBroiler, a strong player who's constantly in the top 3. There I am in 4th place, just barely edging out All-Time Champ hippos, who is tied with new guy supima.

Like I said, the competition ends in about 8 hours.. so I doubt that there's going to be enough points awarded for one of us to take 1st place away from sd, but other than that, it's a pretty tight race. I don't think I'll be able to overtake critch, but the Broiler might. And if he doesn't, I just need .75 to take his spot and double my prize money.

Then again, all hippos and supima need to do are get .5 and I'm knocked down a peg.

There's a question that just expired, asking us to predict if Adrian Beltre is going to hit a home-run in the Dodgers/Padres game going on right now, I guessed "no." it's worth a whole point: enough to send me into 3rd.

So, unless the admins do some serious weeding through the backlogs of ungraded .25 pt Dailies's.. My prize total depends on whether or not the Dodgers' First Baseman chokes (and whether that question gets graded today, too)

Either way, I'm pretty much guaranteed to be winning some sort of prize money this time around, which I'll channel into paying for a dedicated user account. And with 145.75 points total, I'm definitely going to hit 150 and level-up next round.

And just think: if RichWatch.net had better hosting, you wouldn't have had to read any of that.

Coke Corrupts Our Kids

2004-07-28T21:11:00.000-07:00

A recent Coca-Cola ad describes some teen dude trying to hook up with many a teen chick. Each attempt is thwarted by a) a cuter dude with a cast b) a hotter dude with a car or c) his mom coming to pick him up early.

In the end of the ad the narrator gives the kid some advice: Break a bone, get a car, and stop telling your mom where we're hanging out.

Or at least that's what he used to say. Now every time I see it, he ends the advice with ..and try to get your game on before curfew. Now, It's often the case that a company will air two versions of an ad, each with a different joke or scene or edit. But nope, the actually went back and changed the end of the ad. My only guess is that someone grew concerned with the ad telling this kid, and by extension, every coke-drinking kid in the universe, that they shouldn't tell their parents where they were hanging out at nights.

Maybe I just lived a blessed life with a dad who didn't really worry about where I was, telling me to call if I needed a ride and leaving it at that, but still.. are there really parents out there that think a coke ad joke could possibly lead to anything more dangerous than, say, cavities or juvenile diabetes?

That's No Moon.

As losing a post is always quite depressing, I don't feel like typing it up again just now.

I will, however, point out that Blogger's new Create New Post page defauts to a WYSIWYG, rich-text fomat.

For people who already know and ar comfortable with HTML, WYSIWIG sucks.

Something I noticed on the latest commercial in Miller's "President of Beers" ad campaign.

The ad responded to the tagline in Budweiser's latest few commercials, one that could be taken as somewhat of a rebuttal to the whole Beer-Election-thing: "Choose on Taste."

Miller responded by saying "How can they say 'choose on taste' when surveys have shown people say Miller has More Taste than Bud!"

Of course.. our good friend The Disclaimer showed up on the bottom and said, quote:

Results reflect which beer has More Taste or Flavor, NOT Preference, Carb Count, or Smoothness

So in other words, the study didn't say people like Miller more, it just said people could taste it more. so: If I gave you two drinks to test... one of mineral water, and one of rancid milk.. and you told me what you thought, I could go off and tell people "Rancid Milk has More Taste than mineral water!"

Then I could declare myself to be the President of Rancid Milk.

...and considering how long it's been since we've cleaned our fridge and washed out all the dishes in the sink, I don't think I'll have that much competition.
