iPod + Colbert

Stephen Colbert is doing a green screen contest.  Here’s an entry.  Originality is in the eye of the beholder, but the video is somewhat impressive.

More on Shaving

In the neverending quest to get a better shave, Lifehacker has posted three videos about traditional wetshaving.  While I probably technically wetshave myself every other day or so and some earlier tips have helped improve the business of shaving in the Yocum Household of Redlands, it could be better and more comfortable.  If I can get up to shaving once a day without pain, it will be a good day.

Besides, are there any women in the world that aren’t a sucker for their man shaving in the bathroom in a Paul Newman kind of way?  I’m still working on finding a woman that will call me her man, but the shaving bit should bit a hell of a lot easier.

Why I’m Leaving Netflix

I’ve decided to give up Netflix.  Not for any reason they could change.  Rather because of getting some time back in my pocket.

For the record, the service I’ve received from Netflix has been above par.  Aside from the DVD that arrived questionably late (and only when I had received more than ten or so DVDs within a 30 day period), their service has been exemplary.

However, I’ve found that my evening life has become more and more a sedentiary life.  I come home to dinner and whatever DVDs I have.  Choosing not to watch a DVD on a particular night is difficult thanks to feeling like I need to get my money’s worth from the service and so having to watch as much as possible as quickly as possible.  Also, I’ve seen  just about all of the DVDs I’ve wanted to see.

Once I’m done with the next batch of DVDs, I plan to cancel the service and have a few more dollars in my wallet and more time to do enjoyable things.  Reading a book sounds nice.  Taking more walks in the evening air.  Not spending so much time on my couch is probably the best reason I could think of.  It’s a nice couch, but I’ve got other things to do.

Run for your Life

Makes me wish I was in college again just so I could do this…

Monkeys

Next time someone pisses you off, just think to yourself, “They’re just another monkey.”

Learn to Make Pancakes

Sort of…the folks on the other side of the pond (in the UK, for clarity) do some stuff differently after all.  Lemon on your pancake?

Even When The Weather is Cold, Cold, Cold…

No offense to anyone who may have gone to this school (assuming it exists, I’m too lazy to check right now).

Shouldn’t it be Darth Chad?

Superfriends do Office Space

Wonder Woman as a ditsy admin assistant.  Batman is Michael Bolton.  Superman is a depressed office worker.  Simply wonderful.
I’m not putting the actual Google Video bit up here since this is not really safe for work at all.
