July 15th, 2008 · No Comments

I don’t know how I missed this amazing series on YouTube, but I’m now a fan. Here’s what it’s about.

A guy/gal gets drunk on camera and discusses a famous person in history. In their third installment in the series (embedded below), Jen Kirkman (the drunk girl) gives a lecture about Oney Judge, George & Martha Washington’s favorite slave. Okay, so anyway, just watch it. It is awesome.

And since you loved that video, go watch the whole series on YouTube.

Episode 1 with Michael Cera
Episode 2 with Derek Waters (my personal favorite!!)

Drive Through FAIL

July 12th, 2008 · No Comments

On July 2nd around 3pm the following video was recorded at Texas State Bank. Both the driver and his son survived.


…he was circling the bank to park on the other side when the corner of his travel trailer caught the corner of the bank awning. Next thing he heard was a rumble as the awning started falling against his driver’s side door. Somehow he was able to unbuckle the seat beat and exit the other side of his truck as it was falling.

The Torture Game

July 5th, 2008 · 1 Comment

I found this little nugget of evil on TrendHunter. It’s called The Torture Game, and it is just sick. But I couldn’t help myself. I had to try it out.

To the nostalgic sounds of a drafty dungeon, I fired about 20 rounds into this helpless victim’s arms and shoulders (carefully avoiding the major organs, so he wouldn’t die quite yet). Then I moved on to the razor and scraped off a nice pound of flesh and just as his life bar was about to go out, I finished it all off with a final gun shot to the head.
Oh. Don’t forget the chainsaw.

I received an email today from Mozilla confirming that I helped to set the world record for most software downloads in 24 hours. With my help they reached 8,002,530 downloads! Congratulations Mozilla! Firefox 3 is amazing. I’ve never used a better browser!

And now, for something completely different…

A website has started up claiming that Jerod the Subway poster boy has died.

It’s not true, but it is pretty funny that this rumor spread so far.

I’m sitting in my hotel room in Mountain View, CA getting ready to go to the Googleplex headquarters for some advanced training in Adwords tomorrow morning. I’m really excited and you can keep up with all the cool stuff in my Twitter feed. I’ll be posting pictures to the blog soon, but for now I’ll just give you a visual of where I will actually be at.

That’s all for now, I have to try and sleep. It’s like the night before Christmas!!
