Surfing The Web So You Don't Have To
Secretary of State Colin Powell has unofficially appointed James Brown the U.S. Secretary of Soul and Foreign Minister of Funk. Damn that’s funny stuff.
Still reminds me of that Eddie Murphy SNL Skit where he danced around in a speedo, acting like James Brown.
For maximum goodness, let it play without interaction, watch the show, then shake the crap out of it.
And does it with his computer and its “2 gigahertz of memory.”
It can even be used as a weapon. Full story.
Apparently there’s a disorder like sleep walking where this woman will get up, go to her fridge, pig out, and not remember it in the morning. She eats very well during the day, but still has a hard time controlling her weight (at one point tipping 260 pounds). Full story.
Don’t worry, this is safe for work, despite the title. This is one of the most entertaining videos I’ve seen in a long time. Thanks to Chris for the link.
My wife and I like to watch a good mystery on TV (we catch Hercule Poirot on A&E whenever we can), and when I’m laid up next week, I think I might dive into this: A mystery through a series of emails, instant messenger, and Web pages (as explained in A Whodunit for the Digital Age). Download the file and get more information over at TheGreatAmericanNovel.com.
I figured since Jon linked to my old CafeShops store, I’d better put something useful on it — something related to this site. So I’ve updated it, added some stuff, taken away some stuff, set some random prices (I barely make any profit on anything there), and re-setup the site.
So you can now buy UtterlyBoring.com t-shirts, tote bags, stickers, sweatshirts, etc… . Some of them have printing on the back which lists some of the random terms that have shown up in my referrer logs. Ladies, I’ve even put them on the front of clothing for you, if you want and excuse to have somebody stare at your chest.
I’ve left some of my orty.com brand merchandise up there, just for kicks. But check out the store, just in case you want to help pay for my medical bills, and if there’s something you like, let me know.
OK, done with commercial crap, I’ll have good links later.
Turn on your TV. Saddam was captured. Rumor has it, the Weapon’s of Mass Destruction were found — in his mouth. Link via Waxy.
Just a quick note. First off, thanks to Barney, who has agreed to fill folks in while I’m gone (and edit the grammar on my site, since he’s always picking on me for that — the anal bastard), and keep the site from getting stale (that’s assuming he has any free time after posting news over at Bend.com). Secondly, the site will be down from 9:00PM to 1:00 Pacific Time tomorrow. My web host is moving to a new datacenter, and it’s my server’s turn.
Tuesday will be my last day blogging for a bit, depending on how the surgery goes. I’ll try to empty out my “to blog” folder before then so you at least have something to keep you entertained if Barney doesn’t have time to post. Ken, Gregg: Remember you both still have author privledges here, so feel free to post.
