OK, maybe it’s not that funny, but I still liked it. Anybody want to buy a hard case?

Worst Christmas Present


Wow, giving this book to someone is like adding insult to chronic debilitating emotional turmoil.
Other awful presents one may give or receive are the book “Outing Yourself“, the much talked about gift certificate for Planned Parenthood, and absolutely anything from Sharper Image.
Stick to my Christmas list guys, and you’ll be a-ok. 19 more days!

Wow, It’s December

Better post apocalyptic hip hop music video…You decide.
50 Cent’s Get Up or 2Pac’s California Love? 50’s rolling with an I Am Legend style, which I love, but nobody does solo black guy in the city better than Will Smith. Pac’s gone Mad Max, specifically Beyond Thunderdome, and has cameos to spare. I’m definitely leaning towards California Love. It’s always been one of my favorite music videos. Either way, Dre wins.
Speaking of the apocalypse, Hulu has added The Last Man on Earth to their growing collection. Combine that with 28 Days Later, Night of the Living Dead, and The Fifth Element, and you’ve got a decent weekend of sci-fi. Perhaps somebody could shine some light (AZIZ!) on the original Planet of the Apes or Waterworld. That’d be awesome. While we’re making suggestions, why isn’t Speed on there?


Also, Empire magazine released their 100 Greatest Movie Characters list. It’s pretty good, but, of course, I disagree with a few of them. Capt. Jack Sparrow? Seriously?

Pants Challenge Response!


Alan and Mo, collectively known as Project Tandem, along with Workshops friend John Barduhn have posted a Pants Challenge Response on Vimeo. I am very impressed. At the end of their video, they call me out to come up with another challenge. Time and time again Alan and Mo have proven that they can bike further, photograph cooler and hold their vodka better. They are very competitive people, and I look forward to further battles.
In very related news, the following commercial was mentioned at work today. I hadn’t seen it until I got home, and I’m blown away. Some of it seems too crazy to believe, and it was certainly down with more production value than the visuals lead one to believe, but I do recognize legit pants talent when I see it.

Unrelated, I’d like to give a big thanks to Ben Smart for forwarding his blog traffic my way. Sweet!

And finally, happy birthday to Virginia! Hopefully the motherland is treating you well.

5 Hot Trends I Can Guarantee for ’09

5. Awful Green Reality TV – FOX, listen up: A group of young eco-conscious, vegans living together. They compost, they use CFL bulbs, and they conserve water by never showering. Here’s the catch, one of them is a secret yuppie posing as one of Mother Nature’s children. Will the rest of the cast find out? Or will he/she convince them to start wearing leather, shampooing their hair and getting a real job? Tune in after Beverly Hills Chihuahua: The Series to find out.
4. Two-Way Audio Mobi-Blogging – Sure, it sounds crazy, but I have the feeling that by 2009 we will have the technology to audio blog one on one with another person from our mobile phones. This won’t require a computer, internet connection, or even a brain in most cases. “Boy, that Adam sure is ahead of his time.” I hear that a lot.
3. Clothes that are chosen for their function, not their fashion – Haha, just kidding! Check out what’s new at Urban Outfitters!
2. Guns – Economic trouble can only lead to one thing, people dying. There’s two sides of every death; the dead and the still alive. Trust me, if you own a gun, you’ll be sitting pretty when things get ugly.
1. Shaving Cream Earrings – I’ve been talking about this one for a while, and I think it’s time that it gets a bit more recognition. You know when you’re shaving your face, and you’ve got shaving cream everywhere, and you wash off and you think you’ve got it all, then you notice two blobs of shaving cream on your ear lobes? You wash it off, right? That is so 2008. In 2009, men will leave the shaving cream earrings on as a sign that they are recently shaven and well maintained. It will be briefly followed up with the toothpaste soul patch.

WhatSize

If you’re like me when it comes to computers, you should download WhatSize. It’s a freeware application that looks at your hard drive and tells you where the biggest files and folders are. This is really helpful when trying to figure out what should be moved to an external hard drive.

Fail Blog!

Hey, I’m on Failblog! That probably makes me the most famous person you know! Click this link, I’m in the bottom picture…Don’t see me? That’s my black and red backpack on the right. HA! Failblog hosted a get-together at King’s Hardware in Ballard, which is just across the bridge from where I live. They have skeeball and a burger with peanut butter and bacon on it!
