You Suck at Photoshop

Posted by Gary on February 23rd, 2008

A hysterical little tutorial from Donnie Hyde over at “My Damn Channel.” This is the first of seven (so far) installments. The commentary is dry and hilarious, but you might actually learn something about the ins & outs of Photoshop along the way.

Pastor calls for 30 days of sex

Posted by Gary on February 20th, 2008

In an effort to lessen the 50%+ divorce rate in the US, pastor Paul Wirth of the Relevent Church in Ybor (”E-bore”) City, FL announced a novel plan. His “30-day Sex Challenge“ is pretty much what it sounds like. Wirth is challenging married couples in his congregation to have sex every day/night for [...]

Jonestown Recording

Posted by Gary on February 19th, 2008

Interesting and incredibly disturbing… a voice recording of cult leader Jim Jones immediately preceding and during the mass suicide/murder of over 900 members of the Jonestown, Guyana cult.
Here’s the Wikipedia entry for some background on the People’s Temple and the freakiness that should never have happened and should never again.

James Bond in Real Life

Posted by Gary on February 17th, 2008

We’ve seen cars that can travel on water like boats, but now automaker Rinspeed has developed a prototype car that travels UNDERwater.  In the spirit of James Bond in “The Spy Who Loved Me,” albeit not nearly as well-armed, comes the $1.5 million Squba.  Check out the CNN article and the Rinspeed website for details [...]

Top Gun (sorta)

Posted by Gary on February 10th, 2008

This is an oldie, but a goodie.  Sports Illustrated writer Rick Reilly had the opportunity of a lifetime… to take a flight in an F-14 Tomcat.  To say it didn’t go well is probably an understatement.  He knew he might be getting in over his head before takeoff:
I was worried about getting airsick, so [...]

Late Night Throwdown

Posted by Gary on February 6th, 2008

Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later… those egos all competing for the same late night viewers.  It was bound to come to fisticuffs.  It finally did two nights ago.  Conan O’Brien, Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart came to blows over Mike Huckabee.  And we have it on video:

It started unraveling on the [...]

Whitest Kids U’Know

Posted by Gary on February 5th, 2008

With music videos like those linked below, how can you not fall in love with “The Whitest Kids U’Know?” It’s a sketch comedy show on IFC (Independant Film Channel) that I’ve recently been exposed to. They’re second season kicks off on 2/10/08. Check ‘em out in all their uncensored glory. NSFW.

Frozen in Time

Posted by Gary on February 5th, 2008

Those wacky kids at Improv Everywhere are at it again.  This time they got over 200 “agents” to freeze in the middle of NYC’s bustling Grand Central Station for 5 minutes, much to the confusion of passersby not in on the gag.

Text to Pee

Posted by Gary on February 4th, 2008

I work for a cellular phone company, but I thought even the average person might find this mildly interesting. The Finnish Road Administration has taken to locking roadside toilets, and you can unlock them by texting the word “open” to a short code. This way, they can keep short term records of the users [...]

Still Life

Posted by Gary on February 3rd, 2008

Way cool, spooky short film about a young man on a road trip who takes an unexpected detour through a small town… and the startling events that unfold. Run time is about nine pretty gripping minutes. “Still Life” was directed by John Knautz and starring Trevor Matthews.
