How Many Movies Can You Name?

You’ve got two minutes. Go (and I’m sure you can all think of and type more than I could).

Best. Job. Ever.

Looking to get out of the office? Oscar Mayer is accepting resumes to be a Wienermobile driver.

Thanks Jen for the link!

Google Street View Is Now In Bend

I had wondered how long it would be before it came here, but it looks like it’s now here. I don’t know exactly when it got here, but it’s here, and it covers a good chunk of the major highways around Central Oregon (it doesn’t appear that streets around the city of Bend have gotten much coverage).

Google Maps is being a bit clunky today, so I can’t really see where things are mapped out in Bend, but if you find anything fun on there, email me a screenshot. But based on the little bit I’ve looked at, it was winter time when the camera came through as there is snow on the ground in some places.

Time Killers For The Day

I’m at home laid up with a cold, trying to get some work done from home today. If you’re at work, and don’t feel like working, you’re welcome.

Anybody Have Any Holy Water?

This guy’s looking for some, as his neighbor’s driving him nuts:

I need a 4 Oz bottle of holy water. I live next to a Satanist.

I am not able to make it to a church to get Holy Water.

Thanks Jasmine for the link.

On a completely unrelated note, blogging will be light (read: non-existent) until after Sunday’s concert as I’m actually doing some last-minute practicing and preparing and making sure we sound our best. I hope to see some of you there!

Real-Life Mario Kart

As an old-school Nintendo junkie, this just makes me laugh — even if it’s French:

Karma?

Indeed.

In what can only be described as a bizarre coincidence, a northeast Bend home raided in a theft investigation that led to two arrests was burglarized less than six hours later Wednesday — -and two other men were arrested in that case, police said.

But it may not have been karma, but these guys may have known each other. One commenter on the story had an interesting theory:

It doesnt seem too coincidental. I think the two that lived in the house didnt want all of ‘their’ property siezed so somehow contact was made with Watson (the 18-year old arrested for breaking into the home) and he was told to enter the home by the other boys to recover and keep some of the items. It will be interesting to see how this one pans out. It will still be burglary, but if the tenants of the home gave permission to enter it will be pretty difficult to hold.

Something To Put On The Resume

How many CIS students can say they spent a couple months building a scene from Super Mario Bros. 3 entirely out of pushpins?

I’m sure that’ll look good to future employers. Link via Geekologie.

Know Your Video Game Consoles?

I guessed 24 of the 69 (I suck) — how’d you do?
