House of Cosby's

My good friend Peter got me into this series a year or two ago. It doesn't hold up for long, and i think the guy was sued or forced by Bill Cosby to stop doing the show, but the first couple episodes are great. Bill cosby is a pretty easy character to mock, but this does it in a pretty good natured way and still comes off as unique. Please enjoy and don't forget to 'Explore!!'

I can't stop myself

So i find it really hard not to share videos with people. I find the experience of talking and laughing about these silly videos to be an excellent bonding experience and can make ones lunch hour pass by with ease. Here's another great video, from Bud Light. Beer commercials are almost always enjoyable - at least they're not fooling anybody (usually).

Swear Jar


Beer companies don't have a corner on the funny internet video market. Reebok made some great commercials with Terry Tate (office linebacker). It's exactly as it sounds

Where am I getting all of this?

So you may ask yourself, 'Gee mr. blog guy, where do you find all these videos?'. Well, curious internet friend, i have many sources, many, mysterious, sources. But mostly i'm bumming them off friends or finding them on sites like video Stumple Upon or Best of Youtube. I'm sure there are hundreds and millions of places that do this kind of stuff, but not everyone knows where to look, so that's where people like me come in. I just like to help - that's how i roll.

Some other good places to find videos:

• Youtube has some decent recommendations now and again and if you're a member/logged-in then they'll give you suggestions based on what you watch or have favorited (good work)
• Facebook: look at your friends posted items - that's where i put a lot of my favorite stuff before i started this here web site. (this solution actually requires having friends, and friends who like interesting things, and who post them to facebook - so this may not work for everyone - unless you have me as a friend!!)
  
• As i mentioned above - stumbleupon is an amazing place to waste a few hours
• Also as i mentioned in my first post, Digg generally has current, interesting news and videos

So to end off this post, lets look at the somewhat recent weezer video 'Pork and Beans' and all the wonderful internet memes it includes.

Crazy Fun

So i do a little mountain biking and skateboarding (not so much now as i'm in my mid-twenties), but i've never been really extreme - i've known my limitations and as such i haven't got hurt really. Which is good i think. Some people though, just love to do crazy stuff - this one isn't quite as crazy as it is fun, but i'm guessing a few people had some sore bodies the next day...

Extreme Slip and Slide 2007



When i'm home on the computer, surfing the net, alone, i find that i rarely 'lol' (laugh out loud) - it's more in the witty lunch-time banter with my office mates that things take on their humourous side. This one however, made me laugh (As did the one after that). I don't know what it is that hits you to make you laugh - but these two do it for me!

Laughing baby girl, slowed down



Some people (my wife) think this baby sounds a little scary, kinda possessed or something, which i can see... but it hits my funny bone every time.. so good!

The anti-global warming post

UPDATE: looks like the videos have been taken down (suprise)... if i find the video elsewhere i'll repost.

Found the full video on another site!



So i can't say that i've researched either side of the argument very well, but from what little i do know it seems to me that Global warming and the craziness surrounding CO2 emissions has little to do with reality, and more to do with media and politics. I could ramble on for a few paragraphs about why this may be the case, but you're way better off watching these videos. Al Gore, be warned!

There are 8 parts, hopefully they don't get pulled from youtube, but we'll give it a go anyways. The show title is called The Great Global Warming Swindle (very catchy title)

Welcome back!

Ok, so i haven't been paying a lot of attention to this blog for a while, but i thought of a good 'topic' that i think will keep me updating - it's something that i'll be looking at/for anyways, so it should be good. I'm going to try and be my own Digg.com - that is, i'll be posting interesting videos and articles that i find, or my friends find, from all around the web. Generally they'll be funny or insightful videos and/or geeky developer stuff. But i think there'll be enough fun things for anyone.

So to start off i found this interesting interview over at O'Reilly that asks questions to the "project software engineer for the Phoenix Lander Mission". Some pretty interesting stuff. They have to work under some pretty stringent guidelines and ensure that a 700lb object lands on a planet millions of miles away... pretty crazy software/hardware feat!

On a bit of a lighter note, my co-worker Matt sent me a link to this cool website that does a lot of i'm hoping to do in the future - and that is provide lots of entertaining videos and content. So you might want to check out todaysbigthing.com. The one for today is especially cool - stop-motion is a huge internet hot item. Some people are taking the medium to amazing levels. I've embedded the video below in case you want to check out all my other stuff as well:

Western Spaghetti



Continuing on, another co-worker (Clinton), sent me this fun game that grabbed my attention for a while - IndestructoTank A.E. Not a lot to explain, just make sure you hit the ground every now and again or else you run out of gas (not sure how that works, but i didn't make the game!)

Well i think that's enough for my first post on this new topic. I've got a number of videos that i plan on putting up here soon, it's just a matter of time now. Hopefully i can get a couple of people to view the blog and if my friends at work keep coming up with content, then i'll have lots of goodies to share with the masses (or just you 2 people who'll show up randomly - thanks by the way)...
