Oh good lord, this is about the scariest thing I’ve seen all day…
Damn You, Portland
There was always one thing that we could hold over you — the fact that we had a Deschutes Brewery brew pub and you didn’t. That’s going to change.
Be Careful In Front Of The Camera
This TV newsreader had no clue that the camera was on and broadcasting, instead spending two minutes primping herself, talking about a coworker’s alleged affair, “pushing out her breasts” (putting that in quotes as I don’t really see it, but the article says so) and giving viewers a flash of her midriff. Full story here, video after the jump.
Hollywood Has Lost Its Mind
It’s going to give out and Emmy to MySpace video posters. Has anybody on the board of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences actually been on MySpace? You can see the nominees (when posted) here.
Headline of The Day
Governor’s balls bring a little glitz to Alaska. Thanks Barn for that.
Spiders On Drugs
Drugs do bad things to humans, but they do really bad things to spiders (video after the jump).
Maniac Drives Through Bend, Videotapes it, Posts It Online
I don’t remember why or how I came across this site, but this video (embedded after the jump) shows a guy driving like a maniac in and around Bend (we’re talking 90+ north of Bend on Highway 97). It was posted three days ago, so if he isn’t a full-time resident, he was probably here for the holiday weekend and posted that when he got home (or it could be older, I have no idea — but I’m sure there are clues in the video that date it appropriately).
The video’s frickin’ huge, and takes a bit to stream, but I did manage to get a copy downloaded so that if the embed goes bad, I’ll see if I can host a local copy here (it’s a 62 meg, 15 minute FLV file, so I’m holding that off as long as I can).
But tell me: How many scenes around the area can you identify? I know that parking garage, that stretch of highway north of Bend (as well as in front of the Mountain View Mall Cascade Village Shopping Center). I’m sure if you watch this close enough, you can probably get license plate numbers or some other incriminating information about these idiots, so have fun.
Need: Old (Small) USB Key
Does anybody have an old eight megabyte or larger USB key/thumbdrive/Flash Drive that you want to get rid of (yes, that’s all I need)? The floppy drive on a ZoneCD server I have setup is caput so I’ve moved the configuration information to a much more reliable USB Key. The problem is, all you can buy locally is 512 megabyte keys that are more expensive and all I really need is about one megabyte. Right now, my 512 meg key is there, and I’d really like to get it back.
Anybody have an old low capacity one that they got from a trade show or something that they just want to get rid of? Comment here using your email address and I’ll get back to you.
Somebody Has Far Too Much Time On Their Hands
But the richochets and bounces these guys pull off with ping pong balls are pretty amazing (video below the jump).
