Hard-core gaming nerds, check this out. A group of friends performed the theme from the video game Halo in their living room (click image for video):

Pachelbel’s Canon
I was just watching a clip of some comedian eviscerating Pachelbel’s Canon in D. It’s quite entertaining, and if you have a few minutes, give it a look (click on the image for the video):
But that video reminded me of another Pachelbel’s Canon video I saw on the Internets a while back. It is sublime. And, I guess, it sort of proves his point indirectly. (click image for video)
The White Elephant
Mad props to Matt, Selah, and Rajiv for putting on a kickass White Elephant party last Saturday night.
What is the fabulous white elephant gift that I received, you ask? Well, I’ll tell you.
WIRELESS VIBRATING PANTIES
Neat.
I traded them for a Starbucks card. Me in wireless vibrating panties is not something that I would ever want to see.
One more reason I’m glad I switched to Flickr
My old photo hosting company (name rhymes with “freebase”) was plagued by downtime and the dreaded red X. Flickr has been rock solid, and their upload application makes uploading files a snap.
Well, the best just got better. Flickr Pro accounts will now enjoy unlimited storage and bandwidth. No more 2GB monthly limit!
(Not that I have ever approached 2GB of uploads in a month, but still, having no constraints is a plus in my book.)
Edit: I was trying to be nice and not bag on them because they might have been going through a rough spell when I was having the dreaded X problem, but I just visited their site for old time’s sake a few minutes ago, and this is what I found (click thumbnail for full-size image):
Edit 2: Even worse! Fer fark’s sake! But, hey, at least the photos themselves are showing up, right?
Another crazy Sam McGuffie run

Where the hell is Matt?
This is one of the coolest videos I have seen in a long time. This guy travels all over the world and gets shots of himself doing some sort of jig. Take a look – he goes to some pretty exotic places. (Click image for video)
Here is his Web site: Where the hell is Matt?
YYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
I went and saw TSO last night with a bunch of people. I feel sorry for the people who left after the first part of the show was over because they missed a bitchin’ second show. I have to say, actually, that I didn’t much care for the narrated first part. The second part just kicked so much more ass. It was far more representative of the TSO that I hear on 98 Rock than the sing-song tra-la-la songs of the first part. Then again, maybe the people that left early already knew about the split shows and purposely got the hell out of Dodge before the evil rock-’n-roll could corrupt their fragile little minds. Pussies.
All that rambling is just my way of saying that next time TSO is in your area, get yourself a ticket and go see them. They put on a helluva show.
Harry Potter / Simpsons trailers
In case you hadn’t heard, there’s a trailer out for the new Harry Potter flick, coming out on July 13, 2007 (click image for video):
That’s going to be a good month. The Simpsons Movie is also coming out, on July 27, 2007 (click image for video):
And, oh yeah, I think I got married or something in July. Punch and pie!
Sam McGuffie
Is good. Watch him hurdle the opposing defender (click image for video):
Quite possibly the two greatest acceptance speeches of all time
Jack Palance, accepting his best supporting actor Oscar (click image for video):
“As far as the two handed pushups, well you can do that all night, and it doesn’t make any difference whether she’s there or not.”
Jimmy V accepting his Arthur Ashe ESPY (click image for video):
“Cancer can take away all of my physical abilities. It cannot touch my mind, it cannot touch my heart, it cannot touch my soul. And those three things are going to carry on forever.”
