OK Go! Does It Again (amazing Rube Goldberg machine)

No words.  Oh wait… how about 5 million views in five days?

 

I love it when the sledge hammer hits the TV playing their treadmill video.

New "Theme" Restaurant In My Hood

what's playing: "Heads or Tales" by the Honeydogs

I'm very excited about the new restaurant coming to my neighborhood...

Stewie's!

Why Thursday Might Be Even Better Than Tuesday

I'm a bit of a Thrift Store Whore, but it's rare to stumble across something like this. Cool vintage clothes, lamps, furniture, books, etc... yeah, all the time. I'm always making people jealous with my finds.

But the Millennium Falcon?! Ohhhhhhhhhh. Not to mention the added score of the original Darth Vader action figure carrying case.

It's missing the radar, the smuggler's cargo cover, the blue gunner's seat (the mechanism is there), the chess table, the lightsaber training orb and arm, and the ramp struts (I know that sounds like a lot), but it's got the top cannon, the top cover, the entrance hatch ramp and the cockpit hatch cover, the battery compartment still closes, and she can still make the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs... so I'm happy.

It's funny how buying a toy that you wanted sooooooo bad when you were 8 can make you soooo happy now.


I also snagged an Underwood typewriter on the same visit. I'm tempted to build myself a steampunk keyboard, but it's in such great shape that it'd be a shame to tear it apart. We'll see.

ps as far as the keyboard mods go, this is my favorite (industrial, not steampunk; check out those hex nuts and transmission gears; nom-nom-nom-nom)

Internet Pussy Addiction

what's playing: OK Go, "What To Do?" (man it sounds like Jellyfish)

Alright, readers. I have a confession to make. I can no longer deny it: I am addicted to internet pussy. It started a long while back, but it has gotten much more serious. It's pretty embarrassing. I know it's not the most "high-brow" pastime, but it has become my greatest of guilty pleasures...

My wife knows, and she's cool with it, so that's a bonus (sometimes she even sits with me while I scroll through my joy).

I just hope it doesn't get in the way of getting work done. Already it's delayed a current project that I'm working on. It's just that it's always there, a mouse click away. It's so hard not to look! I've even set up a Google homepage gadget (jeez, has it come to this?).

Here's my current favorite:

wut?

Epic Beer Pong shots

Mikey sent me a link to his "skateboard beer pong" vid from Sibs Weekend in Athens, which in turn led to me stumbling across this gem.

My little brother is going to go apeshit over some of these...
