Dad's On A Rant Again

I truly believe that I have found one of the funnies site EVAR!

Broken Picture Telephone had me rolling on the floor with laughter!  Literally, I almost fell out of my seat onto the floor I was laughing so hard.

Here is the one that had me going.

This is as good a laugh as Whose Line Is It Anyway so prepare yourselves.

Enjoy!

I have loved Star Trek in almost all of its incarnations.  Loved them so much that I can forgive Star Trek: Nemesis but do not push me so far as to let Star Trek 5: The search for the center of the galaxy and the pseudo-gods that live there get by.  Nobody deserves to be forced to sit through that.

Any way, as much as I am pumped for tonight's premier of Watchmen, this is the movie I am itching for!

And this trailer helps not one little bit!

So... If you are a Trekie (or Treker) like me.  Feast your eyes on one spoogerific (no that's not really a word, but it should be) trailer and then head over to Apple's site here for the same thing in Glorious HD Quicktime!



Enjoy!  I'll see you at the funny show...

I loved last weeks BSG episode "No Exit".  For me, it really cleared up a lot of the mythology of the series and how the 13th colony fits into what is happening to our rag-tag group of survivors.

However...

Some of you may be a bit confused by Ellen, Tyrol and the rest of the final five and how they were involved in the creation of the original 7 (?).  If you are in the group, Screen Junkies has a pretty good recap of the episode and even included a flow chart of
the organization of the humans and cylons to boot!

Check it out...

Being a child of the 70's and growing up with my trusty Atari 400, another side of my personality is that I am a video-game geek.

My brother had a Nintendo SNES system.  My wife bought me a Sega Genesis for Christmas way back in 1994 which I still have and my kids still play.  I have owned a Nintendo 64 (still have that one too), a Nintendo GameCube and now a Nintendo Wii.

I still really enjoy playing the classic games whenever possible so this site is a lot of fun.  DesktopGaming has backgrounds created from screen shots of classic gaming levels but with a bonus.  A lot of the backgrounds are the entire level stitched together to make a higher resolution picture.

Navigation on the site is not the best but once you get in there you will find a lot of fun backgrounds to add to your machine.

And while we are on the subject of backgrounds, one of my favorite apps is John's Background Switcher.  The program can be set to change the screen background on your PC to whatever time interval you want.  I can add a calendar to the background automatically and will even resize the images to fill the screen.  I highly recommend this app and use it on all of my computers.

Enjoy!

Found this kind of cool. 

YourFonts has a free service that will convert your own handwriting into a font you can install in your OS of choice and then use like you do Comic Sans or Arial.

Found this link from Lifehacker, a site dedicated to helping you work better, and not just on your computer.  Check them out too!

I must say that I completely trust Pixar.  I have to since they amaze me over and over.  The first time I heard of Finding Nemo I was like, "What the?"  I mean, did that title describe sailors looking for Captain Nemo (which made sense with the Disney connection and all)?  And if not, what did it mean?  Then it came out... Genius!  One of my favorites and my youngest daughter could not get enough of that movie.

Then they say the're making a movie about talking cars?  Racing cars... like NASCAR cars?  Ummmm... sure.  And then it came out... Darn good movie.

They last made a movie that has no talking... NO TALKING... for the first 20-25 minutes.  Who does that anymore?  Charlie Chaplin is dead for heaven's sake.

Now we get UP!  Don't really know what it is about.  Don't really care.  All I know is... It looks like more genius. 

Here a "teaser" episode of the story's main characters Carl and Russell.

Makes me want to see more!


Enjoy!

What do you get when you take a Microsoft Live project, the comics field, and throw in a couple of famous writers and artists like Neil Gaiman and Scott McCloud?

Infinite Canvas is what you get.

Described as "A Funky Side Project from Microsoft Live Labs", Infinite Canvas is based on an idea from Scott McCloud and brings the idea that comics do not have to be bounded by the page anymore.  They can flow and morph and do more than just "move" characters like a cartoon.

Looks like a cool idea.  I hope that we get to see some cool stuff come out of this project.

Enjoy!

Not that that would be a bad thing for some files!

Google's long rumored and just as long denied GDrive may be coming to fruition.  BetaNews has an article on this very service and I have been seeing articles from other places like Google Operating System.

Keep your heads up if you like your Google stuff.  I'm hoping the don't do too much limiting on the amount of storage.  It's not like I will place "sensitive" stuff out there in the cloud, but I would be interesting in using this as a storage place for Picasa!

Enjoy!

New President... New web page for the White House.

I did not visit the prior page very much as I did not find it helpful.  Time will tell on if the new layout is worth anything but I was, very quickly, able to find the new Technology and Education agendas so that impressed me.

Check out the link above or, if you like to do your own typing, please go to www.whitehouse.GOV and not COM.   You might not like where you end up using the COM suffix.

I haven't had a chance to watch any of the Inauguration coverage as work took most of my time today.  I'll try to post my feelings later.

My absolute favorite show on television returns in two days for season 5 and I've been trying to find the time to catch up on re-watching the Season 4 episodes.

I got home from taking my oldest to Boy-Scouts and had some time to watch and few episodes and the first one was one of THE. BEST. HOURS. OF. TELEVISION. EVER!

The episode if "The Constant" and even if you don't watch LOST or really get confused with all the flashbacks, flashforwards, flashsideways, and smoke monsters, this one will move you.  Science, time-travel, rats named Eloise and a love story all combine to make this probably the best episode of the season.

Granted, the last couple of hours of season 4 have lots of action and things that blow up and the surprise about who was in the coffin... But episode 5, as an episode, stands on its own as one of the best of the series if not arguably the best.

If you don't have the box set you can catch the episode on ABC's web site along with the rest of the series.

Get ready... Season 5 is finally here.  I, for one, am pumped!
