The Mail… Trilogy?

August 11th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Podcast, Videos

It’s more likely than you think.

One year ago we had the “Zappix Approach to Mail” and now we have me doing a crappy re-inactment just to look cool, yet like a moron at the same time. Enjoy.

I feel bad for laughing hysterically being that looked extremely painful, but it also was quite impressive at the same time. Another one I took off the fail blog.

Kid makes Halo 3 Weapons out of Cardboard

July 14th, 2008 | 6 Comments | Posted in Entertainment, Videos

Pretty sweet stuff I guess, right? Instead of going out to parties and everything, I could be making the world’s greatest cardboard Halo Weapon Arsenal. My life no longer has meaning. =[

But really, the fact that he’s even got the reloading attachments in there is pretty awesome, and they actually do look like the weapons… except in a cardboard form… and shinier… and not as beautifully 3D rendered…

Yeah… I guess their only real use is looking cool on the internet.

George Carlin, RIP

The great comedian passed away Sunday at the age of 71. May he rest in peace. In lieu of a tribute, I will merely point the reader to Jerry Seinfeld’s well-written, funny and meaningful elegy.

I couldn’t even count the number of times I’ve been standing around with some comedians and someone talks about some idea for a joke and another comedian would say, “Carlin does it.” I’ve heard it my whole career: “Carlin does it,” “Carlin already did it,” “Carlin did it eight years ago.”

And he didn’t just “do” it. He worked over an idea like a diamond cutter with facets and angles and refractions of light. He made you sorry you ever thought you wanted to be a comedian. He was like a train hobo with a chicken bone. When he was done there was nothing left for anybody.

After you’re done reading that, I’ll leave you with this:

‘The Road to Serfdom’ in Five Minutes

June 19th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Blog, Videos

This is a five-minute condensed version of Friedrich Hayek’s book The Road to Serfdom from General Motors’ “Thought Starter” booklet.

Please note that the written panes go by quickly, so you may need to pause the video to read some of them.

Ron Paul’s Campaign for Liberty (hat tip) asks the million-dollar question: “At what stage does America find itself today?” The optimist in me says stage 6; the pessimist notes that President Bush fits the “strong man” in Stage 10 quite well.

What do you think?
