Rants and musings, without care for substance.
It’s clean and SFW. It may have taken many many takes to get all of this, but you definitely would not want to play beer pong against this guy.
Then there’s this guy who recovers after two police taps at high speed. I have no idea what it has to do with Bubb Rubb, but he’s [...]

I find ProcessLibrary to be incredibly useful when diagnosing Windows systems. The site — with a refreshingly clean interface despite it being an advertisement-page-disguised-as-a-tool — will tell you all about processes that you find listed in Task Manager. A quick summary of whether it is good or bad, but with details of what it does, [...]
Dave Winer thinks that blog comments are part of the problem and that they intrude upon my freedom of speech. That’s a bunch of hooey. I think they’re beneficial. As I expand upon ideas others can chime in with their experiences and opinions. I find that to be valuable. Few things are better than a [...]

The zinnias that I planted a few weeks ago are coming up. No flowers yet, but they’re definitely growing fast. I’m amazed that the ground is supporting it; there must be some good soil beneath all of those decorative stones. We’ve had some nice and warm weather with a decent amount of rain. Probably doesn’t [...]

They came out of nowhere and now they’re everywhere. How do they have the bandwidth to support all the hotlinking? Are IPOs coming back?
The Mingle2 quizes are cute in a 1996 sort of way, but they’re hardly worth pasting cheeky HTML. Hideous text is better. To answer the handful of people who have asked [...]
Imagine 30 second Flash versions of popular movies — such as Caddyshack, Reservoir Dogs, Fight Club, Office Space, Pulp Fiction (pictured at right), and more — all reenacted in Bun-O-Vision by cartoon bunnies. It’s no wonder Angry Alien Productions made it into Karen’s top 10 websites.
Very funny stuff. So funny that the premium channel Starz [...]

If you query “retarded wheelchair semi“, you find this jewel. A man was taken for 50mph ride when his wheelchair somehow got lodged in the front grille of a semi parked at a gas station. Neither the police nor the driver of the semi believed the initial reports from passing motorists that there was indeed [...]
The unspoken rules of restroom etiquette are nothing new for most guys, however this short shows precisely why it is so important to humanity at large. I think this was cleverly done.
Ladies, do pay attention.

Remember the N.Y. Friar’s Club Roast of Hugh Hefner back in 2001? I remembered Gilbert Gottfried’s act, humorously stolen from Ice T. A lot of people don’t appreciate Mr. Gottfried, but I think he isn’t given enough credit. Forget Aladdin and Problem Child, he was the sole savior of Beverly Hills Cop II; he played [...]
All American Rejects played at UMD’s Art Attack 2007 this past Friday evening. I was there all day lending a hand where I could, providing the 2-3 minute spotlight training to some volunteers, cabling the truss incorrectly, and generally enjoying the warm weather otherwise. Overall it was a really good time without too many noticeably [...]
I hear from good authority that my site is blocked by AACPS. That amuses me. I also hear from good authority that there are proxy/anonymizer sites that aren’t blocked by AACPS that render my site readable. That amuses me more. Hooray for smart kids who know how to bypass stupid Websense filters. I’m not sure [...]
Amusing and loud (though probably NSFW if your speakers are cranked up), behold the geek-friendly Internet Sysop song. Props to DJ for this one.
Even if the counter isn’t at 100% you can probably still play it. If the embed fails, the original is on Something Awful, which has one of the best privacy policies I’ve [...]
I just ran a batch of Analog reports on the webserver’s logs this morning, where I learned that the traffic to this blog has more than quadrupled since November. I think that’s pretty good since I don’t advertise much beyond word-of-mouth. That generally doesn’t count RSS subscribers either, although you guys are growing in numbers [...]

So utterly inappropriate, it’s genius.
There’s a few other MP3s available at sadkermit.com for your enjoyment. A lovely cover of Radiohead’s Creep, not to mention guest vocalist Fozzie on Nine Inch Nails’ Something I Can Never Have and Elliot Smith’s Twilight. In addition, a nice version of The Rainbow Connection.
Truly well done.

I was reading someone’s blog today. I’m told to keep that someone on the DL, so I won’t even say whose. You know it doesn’t matter. It is completely irrelevant whose blog it was.
I saw a trackback link on the blog.
It triggered me. I couldn’t recall receiving any pings under WordPress, despite having the “Allow [...]
