Sep 11: Me, Myself and Timmy Category: Cool Stuff | Posted by: Adam Four and a half years after it was filmed, I finally bought a video card with video capture capabilities that has allowed me to do something with Me, Myself and Timmy. If you've never seen the 12 minute movie, it's basically about me becoming friends with a timbit. A chocolate timbit, to be exact. Pretty silly stuff, but it was for a school project. Little did I know it would become such a cult classic :) Me, Myself and Timmy (30MB)

Jul 29: Funny Archie comics Category: Cool Stuff | Posted by: Adam I was relaxing in the bathroom, reading some Archie comics to pass the time as I often do, when I came to a comic that caught my eye. It was a one page Jughead comic that blatently implied Jughead is gay! Scanning through the rest of the book, I found a few more one-pagers that were worthy of posting on here, so here they are (click the pics to view the full size comics): Jughead is gay! Yep, you read correctly...Jughead, Archie's hamburger-loving best friend is a homosexual! In this comic, Betty is giving him an open invitation but he declines. I bet he's secretly awaiting the right opportunity to put the moves on Archie... Twenty-three skidoo?? This comic caught my eye because, aside from the fact that it's really dumb and not funny, Archie says something that doesn't seem to make any sense at all...twenty-three skidoo.I looked it up on phrases.org, and it apparently means "let's get out of here". Whatever. Lil' Jinx' dad is an ass This comic just seems wrong to me. No sensible, sober father would talk to his little girl like this. And by the end of the comic there is no explanation as to why he's yelling at her; instead they throw in some irony that still makes him look like an ass. Wish Boon! This one is short and sweet...Archie is on a date with Betty, they crack the wishbone, Archie gets the bigger half, and apparently his wish comes true as Betty morphs into Veronica. Hilarious. What I don't understand is why in the hell the title is Wish Boon!!

Jul 25: Interesting guitar techniques Category: Cool Stuff | Posted by: Adam I can't imagine how long it would take me to learn how to play guitar like this, but it sure would be impressive at parties :) These two guys, Erik Mongrain and Justin King, both use two-hand tapping techniques on their acoustics to produce a guitar sound that is truly unique.

Mar 12: Check out Pandora... Category: Cool Stuff | Posted by: Adam This may be old news to some, but it's new to me...Pandora, by the Music Genome Project. Here's a description straight from their faq: "Pandora is a music discovery service designed to help you find and enjoy music that you'll love. It's powered by the Music Genome Project, the most comprehensive analysis of music ever undertaken. Just tell us one of your favorite songs or artists and we'll launch a streaming station to explore that part of the music universe."

Mar 09: Hells Yah! Hairy Lobster Category: Cool Stuff | Posted by: Amy Way to throw a wrench in evolution! "Kiwa hirsuta" a new type of crab with silky blond hair was discovered south of Easter Island. It is so rare that it has been given a new family "Kiwaida" and genus! To see more on the CNN website (that's right! It's legit!) click here. Makes me wanna watch my "BBC: Walking with Prehistoric Beasts" collection again...I'm such a geek.
