I’d Fight Shatner

I found this clip over at Sore Thumbs web comic, and after seeing the excellent clip of George Takei during the ‘Roast of William Shatner’ over on Angry Zen Master the other day, I thought it was about time I added a little Shatner to my site too.

Great editing here and really good choice of clips to match the song, (for the majority of us who aren’t Bryan Adams fans, grit your teeth through it and listen to the lyrics, it’s worth the effort)

CSI: Miami, Horatio Hilarity

I’m a big fan of the CSI franchise, it’s formulaic, cheesy, unrealistic, repetitive and downright entertaining.

If you’ve never really watched any of them the you might wonder why this clip is so amusing, aside from the almost exact delivery of the lines each time, but keep watching, or check out the rules for the CSI: Miami Drinking Game and the update for a few pointers.

Susan, this one’s for you.

Site Update

Those of you who came here through the front page may have already noticed, but I decided to finally split the site into 2 distinct sections. This won’t affect the nature or format of the blog but just allows easier navigation of any work I want to place in my portfolio.

You may have noticed a link at the top, this should now be on all pages (someone please tell me if it isn’t), and just allows easy access to either the blog, portfolio or main page of the site.

We have the technology, we can rebuild you.

Now I think this is excellent news, for those of you that missed it.

A bionic eye implant that could help restore the sight of millions of blind people could be available to patients within two years.


Full story here

This is obviously great news for the people this can potentially help, but I’m also interested in how long it’s gonna be before those of us without eye problems can get upgrades, sign me up for some of that accelerated vision.

Ultimate Showdown

A friend of mine told me about this video the other week and I keep forgetting to post about it, I’d not seen it before and think it’s well worth the watch, so here it is now, enjoy.

Happy Hot Fuzz day!

Valentines shmalentines, this year February the 14th holds a new and unique place in my heart, and gives me that warm and fuzzy feeling inside for an entirely different reason (did you see what I did there ;p ). Hot Fuzz is out, and it’s out now, go and see it, see it now. “…by the power of Grayskull…”

Forcast me Surprised!

Well they’ve finally done it, I guess they had to sooner or later, the weather forecasters got one right!

I know you might not believe me so I have photographic evidence to prove it. I’m always amazed at how much nicer everything can look under a clean new coating of snow, which is why you’re treated to a picture of my bin for shot 3. Click for larger images.

It’s still snowing slightly now, and some kids are even trying to sledge on the pavement out front, which I’ll admit seems strange to me as I grew up in the country and sledging wasn’t sledging unless you found the steepest hill around, preferably with some brambles/barbed wire/deep ditches at the bottom to ‘break your fall’ and used either a bin bag stuffed with hay or for one massively dangerous but fun filled winter a car bonnet! (don’t ask), but hey they seem to be having fun anyway.

Have fun with Telemarketers

Now I know telephone sales people are ‘people too’ and all that, but hey if I want you to phone me I’ll ask you to, and if I haven’t asked you to then you have to expect me to be a little dismissive and often rude that you’ve decided to interrupt my life unasked to offer me the ‘opportunity’ or ‘specially select’ me for a ‘fabulous new offer’.

I’m not usually a fan of candid style comedy where one or more of the people isn’t in on the joke, but a friend of mine sent me the link to this one, and lets face it it’s pretty damn funny, I think I’m going to make a few notes and be ready for my next ‘special call’ (you’ve been warned telemarketers)

Have fun with Telemarketers
