This music video is awesome. I highly recommend watching the whole thing and then sending it to all of your friends. It’s done by Southpaw. The video can be found on their site, but can be download much more quickly from here: http://www.compfused.com/directlink/615/
Bye bye Mapquest. Google has a new toy. Google Maps is gorgeous. I highly recommend taking a peek.
So I was perusing the statistics pages I have set to generate, and checking out who had been visiting this little old blog. Apparently there were 1417 instances of people / bots visiting my site in the month of January. I didn’t calculate it exactly, but I would be willing to bet at least 1375 of those were search engine bots and scum-sucking, bottoming feed link spammers. Of the few human visits, at least a couple came from search engines. The following are the top searches for the month of January linking to my site:

Pretty crazy eh? Granted, most of that text actually occurs in my blog, but with completely different references. My definite favorite was “pictures of a man in a hula skirt and coconut bra.” Some person out there actually searched for that!!! Even worse, they probably found my delightful picture of me in that outfit. Yikes.
http://www.virtualapple.com/ - Quite an impressive use of old technology and new techology. Unfortunately, you need IE and Windows to run it, but it’s still worth the look. They have an Apple II emulator and a host of ROMS of old games and software. Pretty cool.
A little late for advent, but well worth the watch, it’s the Advent Calendar from Weebls Stuff
By far my favorite is the Santa Badgers. Awesome! Happy Christmas Eve all! 
Gadzooks! I just loaded the page and it was naked! Empty! Void of any content aside from the generic nav bar on the left. All those dagblabbity comment spam nazi scum-sucking dirt-bags keep making me update my filters and rebuild pages, which, sadly, makes them disappear if they’ve been stagnant for 14 days. Perhaps I should just post more, or I suppose I could also set the expiration to greater than 14 days, but those both require work, which I try to avoid if possible.
Anyway, latest in the collection of amusing wastes of time is gprime.net. Lots of amusing links to flash animations, movies, games, news articles etc. A brief warning though, do NOT click any of the above if you actually have work to get done, as you may well get sucked in, never to return. Enjoy!
FINE
This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
FIVE MINUTES
If she is getting dressed, this is half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given 5 more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
NOTHING
This is the calm before the storm. This means “something,” and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with ‘Nothing’ usually end in “Fine”
GO AHEAD
This is a dare, not permission. Don’t do it.
LOUD SIGH
This is not actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A “Loud Sigh” means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you over “Nothing”
THAT’S OKAY
This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can make to a man. “That’s Okay” means that she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
THANKS
A woman is thanking you. Do not question it or faint. Just say you’re welcome.
People who work in the fields of science and technology are not like other people. This can be frustrating to the non-technical people who have to deal with them. The secret to coping with technology-oriented people is to understand their motivations. This chapter will teach you everything you need to know. I learned their customs and mannerisms by observing them, much the way Jane Goodall learned about the great apes, but without the hassle of grooming.
Engineering is so trendy these days that everybody wants to be one. The word “engineer” is greatly overused. If there’s somebody in your life who you think is trying to pass as an engineer, give him this test to discern the truth.
