Barney Stinson's Video Resume
For those of you lucky enough to experience Barney's awesomeness every week on How I Met Your Mother.
RIP Philip Jose Farmer
The legendary sci-fi author Philip Jose Farmer, of Riverworld fame, passed away at the age of 91 on February 24th. He had officially retired from writing, but in his prime he really turned out thought -provoking stuff.
Makeup for Prostitots
The commercial below is for makeup produced by MAC for the Hello Kitty line of cosmetics. Last time I checked Hello Kitty was aimed at pre-teen girls. Has something changed? Obviously.

I swear the old arcade game used to cheat all the time, so I can relate.

Ironic Justice
A Bellview, Washington guy was in his basement when he heard burglars break in upstairs. He called 911, then sneaked outside. He saw the burglar's van parked in front of his house with the engine running, so he hopped in and drove it away, leaving the burglars without a getaway vehicle.
PWNED!

Indie Half-Life 2 Miniseries
This miniseries began as a test for some new post-production techniques and has morphed into a multi-segment series. Believe it or not, their reported budget is around $500. WOW, it looks great for that.

There Goes Her Career
World Record holder Lee Redmond's fingernails were broken off in a traffic accident recently. At least now she can wipe her own butt. Authorities said her husband was overjoyed.
Get a Grip, Fanboys!
It is unreal how seriously some folks take the whole Star Wars thing. Personally, I like the new trilogy. It is obvious that Lucas did learn something from the Phantom Menace and backed off the Jar Jar Binks and Midicalorians disasters. I felt that movies 2 and 3 were very strong.
Devolvenator
Check out this fun web-based application from the Open University. Upload your photo and see what your apey ancestors might have looked like.
Pre-LHC
At least there was no danger of creating miniature black holes like there is with the new Large Hadron Collider.
A New Classic
Like Jane Austen...but interesting. I need to get a copy of the new classic Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, written by Seth Grahame-Smith.

I prefer Coke or Pepsi
Hindu extremists in India have developed a soft drink made from cow urine to replace western soft drinks. No thanks.
