Google Fridge, Me Want!

So it looks like Google is getting into the fridge market since they don’t dominate the world quite enough eh?

Anyway cool guy Dan Perry is giving one away and I want to win it so I can store me beers er sodas whilst coding and monkeying around. Also perhaps it would be useful for hitting things with as it looks pretty heavy?

Anyway cheers Dan!

Jon — Sun, 23 Dec 2007 23:46:51 +0000

I just ran across a site by a guy named Alek who has setup controls on the web along with webcams so you can control his crazy amount of christmas decorations. He’s got lights all over as well as inflatable dudes you can turn on and off. So head on over and help annoy his neighbors as it’s kinda funny to check out.

He’s also trying to raise money for Celiac Disease research as well so help out if you can.

Happy Holidays!

Watch Jackass 2.5 Online Now

Jon — Sun, 23 Dec 2007 06:49:53 +0000

The crazy Jackass guys have released the sequel to Jackass 2 and it’s now online only and you can watch it for free at the Jackass 2.5 site for a few more days then I’m not sure. I’d suggest checking it out if you liked the Jackass movies. They mostly crammed together a bunch of extra footage they shot during Jackass 2 but there’s a lot of funny stuff. I think the old man sequence is hilarious myself.

Anyway I suggest checking it out if you’re not easily offended

Maybe Greed Isn’t So Good

Jon — Tue, 06 Nov 2007 21:02:10 +0000

So right after writing about how greed and capitalism may be good I sat down and watched Sicko, Michael Moore’s new documentary about the health care system in the US. It turns out greed may have ruined the US health care and pharmaceutical industry so maybe it’s not so good. Or maybe it’s only good when applied to things consumers actually have a choice about instead of having to pay $60000 to get fingers put back on. The saddest part is that while socialist health care probably would work well it’s such a huge uphill battle in America since the health care and pharmaceutical companies are so well entrenched and like your money so much.

Sometimes I think perhaps lobbyists are the problem.

Just a thought. (OMG social commentary from me! I’ll try to keep it to a minimum as I hate politics but I am voting Colbert)

Half Life In 60 Seconds

Jon — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 06:58:41 +0000

This video is great it actually had me laughing out loud for reals! If you haven’t played Half Life I definitely recommend it the game is fantastic and is one of the best games of all time. Orange box also has Team Fortess 2 and Portal which are both amazing so if you like games at all it’s a ridiculous value.

Can’t Stop Clicking…

Jon — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 02:30:02 +0000

This is a fantastic attempt at viral marketing from the OkDork dude. You just keep clicking and it ranks people based on it. I don’t know why but I can’t stop!

Is Greed And Capitalism Good?

Jon — Sat, 27 Oct 2007 23:14:59 +0000

Perusing YouTube I just ran across this ABC News report on greed and capitalism and how it may just be a good and positive thing that helps grow countries. It’s also what makes America great.

Here’s the first part of it you can find the rest at YouTube.
