I just saw a commercial for the reincarnated American Gladiators! That completely rules! We used to huddle around the tube and watch that when I was growing up. I completely expect all of the gladiators to be complete tools, but totally awesome at the same time, just like they used to be. Oh man, I can’t wait.
I saw the best infomercial ever last week. Why aren’t all of them like this? It seems obvious to me that 2 beautiful busty girls (that ought to bring me some awesome search engine traffic, haha) showing the goods would be the industry standard. I know it got my attention.
So I went out on the series of tubes and found the actual video! The product is a total scam, but you see what I’m talking about with the ladies. Well played Jeff Paul, well played.
Radiohead is awesome. They just released their new album, In Rainbows today. I guess their contract with their record company is expired, and so they’re taking a completely unique approach with this new album. You can download it from the album’s website, InRainbows.com. At the time of this posting, the site is not loading, but I got the album late last night, so it does work.
The catch is this. You decide how much to pay for it, really! You can pay less than a dollar or a thousand dollars if you wish. You can also pre-order the discbox edition, which will ship later this year. It has all kinds of stuff. Extra songs, vinyl records, artwork, sweet. I’m listening to the album for the first time as I type this, and I must say, it’s blasted good.
Don’t forget tomorrow, September 19, is National Talk Like a Pirate Day!

I can do this?
There’s a Harts mini-mart here in St. George in cahoots with a Philips 66 that is near the mortgage office at which I work. From time to time I’ll stop there to get a drink or a snack. Every time they scan the bar code of the thing I’m buying, the cash register makes a chime sound that is the exact same sound from Sonic the Hedgehog when you collect a ring. It’s often the highlight of my trip to work.
I haven’t been to any other Harts stores recently, so I don’t know if this is a unique situation or not, but it really is super awesome. That’s all.
Finally! Every time I’ve installed Windows XP on a computer (maybe 7 times I figure), I try to find where that song is that plays during the initial setup. That song is so soothing and wicked awesome. Well, I finally stumbled upon a video that had a little walkthrough of where to find the track. Instead of showing the video and making you wait through it, I’ll just show the address here:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\oobe\images\title.wma
That’s it! I copied it from there and converted the file to an mp3. Now I’ll have it forever and ever! GREAT SUCCESS!
