Truth Telling At Its Finest

Posted by Matt on September 15th, 2006

Take the internet phenom that is The Chinese Dorm Boys, mix in a song that everyone knows but no one likes (no one with taste anyway) and Boom! Pow! A little fun for the weekend. Enjoy!

Small town news wrap-up

Posted by Gary on September 14th, 2006

This week’s pile of real live news headlines from the newspapers of Northeast Wisconsin: Police respond to pig on U.S. 41 – Green Bay Sometimes it’s really hard to fight the stereotypes people have about Wisconsin. Beer Fest highlights brewing’s value – Stevens Point Hooray for beer! Weston mother learns head-lice lessons – Weston Some [...]

Bacon + Cat = Strangely Entertaining

Posted by Gary on September 14th, 2006

Courtesy of our good friend Tani comes this intriguing little bit… Seems a guy named John Scalzi has a blog where he does bloggy things. Yesterday he posted a rather innocuous list of 10 things he wanted to accomplish that day. Seemingly tongue-in-cheek, #9 read “Tape bacon to the cat.” Some folks claimed he was [...]

They Sold 23,000 Of Those Things?

Posted by Matt on September 14th, 2006

Who is buying Segways? Who?! 23,000 people? …*sigh* Well, I guess Pet Rocks were a big seller in their time as well. I don’t think Pet Rocks ever had a product recall though. I don’t know what team designed the Segway, but they’re probably not very nice, because they stuck some mean design flaws in [...]

The Hard Drive Turns 50

Posted by Brian on September 14th, 2006

Fifty years ago, all of us at Engadget weren’t even a glimmer in our mothers’ eyes — in fact, now that we think about it probably most of our parents hadn’t even met yet. By that logic, it’s hard for us to imagine a world without hard drives, which were born 50 years ago today, [...]

A Place For Eating.

Posted by Tony on September 13th, 2006

Qdoba Mexican Grill has just opened a new location here in Ashwaubenon, and with that opening comes the promise of tasty burritos whenever they are desired. On my first visit, I recieved a little plastic magstripe card. This would be my induction into the Qdoba Rewards Program, which is the high-tech child of all those [...]

Thoughts on 9/11

Posted by Matt on September 12th, 2006

Obviously after the attacks a lot of shows went on hiatus for a while while more important things were tended to. One of them was The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. They came back on the air 9 days later, and this was how Jon Stewart opened the show. It was moving then and it [...]

9/11 Tribute – Lt. Jonas M. Panik

Posted by Gary on September 11th, 2006

TubaPants.com is proud to be taking part in the 2996 Project, a tribute to the victims of September 11, 2001. [...]

Loco Roco

Posted by Joe on September 11th, 2006

This just looks like a fun PSP game (although I don’t have a PSP and will probably never purchase one), and as a bonus… a great kiddie song to bounce along with today! Loco Roco Gametrilers.com Technorati Tags: PSP, Loco Roco

Lonelygirl15 may not be so lonely after all

Posted by Gary on September 8th, 2006

Ok, I’ve held out from the hype long enough. Seems the world of the web is abuzz with the LA Times story today that the Lonelygirl15 video saga may not have been what you thought is was. “Huh?” you say? Well clearly you are not hip to the YouTube universe. Seems a young lady by [...]

Revisionist History

Posted by Matt on September 8th, 2006

A little laugh on Friday for all y’all.  While not as action packed, this new ending to Superman works just as well as turning the earth backwards. Personally, I liked the new Superman.  Nothing happened?  Did you not see the movie?  Plus, I’ll admit it, I just loved watching him fly and since he flies [...]

Apparently it’s been 3 years in the making, but they did it. Blackberry just release the ultimate smart phone named the “Pearl”. Say good bye to the track wheel and embrace the track ball. One of the new features of this device not to mention Voice Activated Dialing (FINALLY), a camera, expandable memory, and a [...]

Google to offer archives dating back 300 years

Posted by Gary on September 7th, 2006

Global dominatrix Google is set to announce a free search service that will provide access to articles dating back to the 1700s. Some pretty big guns like Time Magazine, The Washington Post, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal have apparently signed on. That way you can find out who won the ballgame [...]

Revolutionary $15 pair of sneakers

Posted by Gary on September 6th, 2006

Stephon Marbury is setting out to revolutionize the shoe world. So says this piece in Slate. Forget $130 for a pair of Kobe‘s kicks, or $110 for a pair endorsed by LeBron, much less $175 for the latest Jordan‘s. Marbury’s basketball shoes retail for around $15. No, I didn’t forget a zero. Fifteen bucks. And, [...]
