White and Nerdy

Published by Booyor under Cool Stuff

Click on this for the video in question.
I would like to deny that I resemble anything in this video, but once he bought the bootleg copy of the Star Wars holiday special, I was sold. (Rollin’ DnD.)

Here’s some evidence for you to consider:

Talk Like A Pirate 

Nobody’s Watching and Mentos 

The 10th Dimension 

The Children on Hurin 

A Star Wars Holiday Cartoon 

Monster Hunting 

and the classic

All Your Base 
Star Wars Kid Clones
Star Wars Kid Dance Mix

Matt Damon as Kirk

Published by Booyor under News

(It’s probably a rumor.)
Now that’s a Star Trek I can get behind. One that’s directed by JJ Abrams. One that hopefully has a techno beat. One where Spock knows Kung Fu (which, we all know, was originally a Vulcan creation).

Did you know that you can interact with people at Disneyland while you are at home? Here is one of my friends on the Buzz Lightyear ride:

That’s crazy.
Here’s the place to interact.

Later I will tell you my opinion of KPHO replacing Dora the Explorer and Blue’s Clues with Trollz.

A List of Why I Showered Last Night

Published by Booyor under Cutesy and/or "Ahh" Factor

  1. I cleaned the toilets
  2. I mowed the lawn and got smooshed weed-eater weeds in my hair
  3. My feet were covered in mud from watering the yard
  4. My shins were covered in mud from washing yard furniture
  5. I cleaned out a tube from my garbage disposal that was clogged with an interlacing sliced carrot array - water that can’t go forward does, in fact, spray backwards
  6. My daughter vomited - don’t worry, my shirt and lap caught almost everything. The couch got a little, but she remained clean. (Which was actually my objective.)

That was all last night. I don’t say this to complain, only that I never thought me showering would be so freaking hilarious.

And here’s some cute kids making cupcakes:

Funny grandparents:

And here’s some more fun from the portfolio vault: High Noun Showdown

LOST: Apollo Candy

Published by Booyor under Uncategorized

The hit show reminds me of Majestic-12.
This ad site was connected in iTunes:
apollocandy.com

I clicked on the Hanso group link and watched the benefactor’s speech.
Namaste. Any connection to the Dharma Initiative?

On the Hanso site, I Selected All and got:

Any thoughts?

Interesting! Try this de-coder:

and set the length of code words to 2.

I live in the future

Published by Booyor under Cool Stuff, News

I once feared them. Now…

I, for one, welcome our ant overlords.

Check this out

Google has crossed the line, and yet I like it.
The population of Japan came to my phone.

It reminds me of this book I just read.
Try out asking your phone for directions. Imagine being lost and then…bang!

My favorite part of the site is:
“Note: if you recently changed carriers, and are having trouble using Google SMS, please contact us.”

This can be translated to:
“We used to be able to track you. Now help us reestablish our warm embrace upon your very soul.”

I may sound like an alarmist. I doesn’t mean I won’t use. It’s that cool.

___
This is pretty cool, too.

Shakespeare tattoo

Published by Booyor under Uncategorized

I don’t know if I had posted this calamity, but I’m finishing up my degree this fall and I have to do a huge portfolio/reflection of my work. I forgot I had done this:
http://dana.ucc.nau.edu/~btg/etc667/multimedia/

The instructor had made requirements to put, basically, every bit of multimedia type on one page (including streaming MIDI). I did this page sarcastically. He loved it.

The Edge and the Wilderness

Published by Booyor under Uncategorized

I seem to have a decent squad this year for Fantasy Football. I have The Edge from the Cardinals (who did very well, I must add!)

When I think The Edge, I think of this guy:

The Edge

I think he’s more R&B than RB.

Here’s a link to one of my favorite songs (even though it’s not by The Edge):

http://clay.xmarkhosting.com/Music/wilderness.mp3

Click on the link and then check out the lyrics. Sort of my own 9/11 deal. Sort of.

The rain falls on the righteous and the wicked
Mine is not to reason why this is
In this I rest in this I find my refuge
That my thoughts and ways are not His
I spend my life on looking up the answers
It’s rare that I can’t find a reason why
But reasons fail at children without mothers
His plan is more than I can know

Have you ever held in doubt
What this life is all about
Have you questioned all these things that seem important to us
Do you really wanna know
Or are you a little scared
You’re afraid that God is not really exactly what you’d have Him be
What should I hold to and what should I do
How do I know if anything’s true
I’m somewhere in-between Canaan and Egypt
A place called the wilderness

I’m not one who always trusts their feelings
I don’t believe in what you’d call blind faith
But faith that you can do all that you promised
And you said it all works for good
It’s safe to say I don’t see the big picture
I can’t see the forest for the trees
And if five hundred lives
Were mine to get to know
You all could be spent on just this

God do you really understand what it’s like to be a man
Have You ever felt the weight of loving all the things you Hate
Have You struggled have you worried
How can You sympathize

I have spoken too soon put my hand over my mouth
I can’t contend with You
Your ways are so much higher
And we pass through the fire that Christ endured before us
When You were in the wilderness

Frakes on a Plane

Published by Booyor under Uncategorized

So, I got the idea from BBSpot:

Rejected Sequels to Snakes on a Plane
11. Aches on a Plane: Flight attendants go crazy and massacre a plane filled with old people who can’t stop complaining about their aching backs.
10. Rakes on a Plane: Hilarity strikes as rakes left in the aisles of a 747 bonk passengers on the forehead.
9. Fakes on a Plane: Terror strikes the passengers of plane when, during turbulence, the silicone breasts jiggle out of control.
8. Mistakes on a Plane: Terror strikes the moviegoers as a series of plot holes and continuity gaps make this the most dreadful film to watch.
7. Stakes on a Plane: Terror strikes the vampire passengers of a plane when one of the human passengers pulls out a wooden stake from his carry-on luggage.
6. Shakes on a Plane: Terror strikes the passengers of a plane when the pilot has too many cups of coffee and gets the shakes.
5. Quakes on a Plane: Terror strikes the passengers of a plane when a friendly Quake game turns into a brawl.
4. Flakes on a Plane: Terror strikes the passengers of a plane when one of the passenger’s severe dandruff problem clogs up the air conditioning system.
3. Cakes on a Plane: Terror strikes the passengers of a plane when hordes of cake-wielding clowns run amok onboard.
2. Steaks on a Plane: Terror strikes the passengers of a plane when they find out some of the steaks from the inflight lunch have mad cow disease.
1. Frakes on a Plane: Terror strikes Commander Riker as he’s placed in coach class with the Star Trek Fan Club of Minneapolis.

and here’s the result.

He might look something like this.

That’s my list. What’s yours?
