Really, how can I not post this video from yesterday’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade? It’s funny and has a lot of significance, at least in the online community where I spend much of my time.
Plus, its funny to hear how not in touch people on TV really are. So, sit back and enjoy.

I don’t really have much in the way of witty banter for this particular video. I really think it speaks for itself. One thing I will say, however, is that I’m sure glad I’m not a turkey.
Also, if you happen to be a bit squeamish, you might not want to watch. Otherwise, enjoy.

After watching this trailer for J.J. Abrams upcoming relaunch of the Star Trek franchise, all I can really say is that it looks like something Michael Bay might have done. I can only hope that lurking somewhere behind all the visuals and explosions is a decent story and a faithful treatment of the characters.
I guess we’ll see in May 2009. Until then, enjoy.

Just imagine how annoying and frustrating things would have been for Neo, Morpheus, Trinity and the gang if The Matrix ran on Windows. Although, if it did and ended up having this many errors, we might have been spared the two sequels.
Alas, that didn’t happen. But its fun to think about the what if? Enjoy.

With the election of Barack Obama on Tuesday, I thought it would be fun to look back a bit and watch the speech that first brought the then Senator from Illinois to the attention of the greater public at large. Even then, four years ago, at the Democratic National Convention, you can see his eloquence, intelligence, power and gain a very revealing glimpse into the man who will, four years later, become the 44th President of the United States.
Clearly, he’s quite a man indeed and I, for one, can’t wait to see what he will do. Enjoy.

I’m not going to tell you who to vote for, (Barack Obama) but no matter what (Barack Obama) you should get out and vote today (Barack Obama). Its a historic day of change for this country and hopefully, after the dust settles (Barack Obama), we’ll be on a new path that will bring this country back to where it belongs (Barack Obama).
No matter the outcome of the election, (Barack Obama) I’m just proud to live in a country that has free elections and be part of this great Democracy. So, go out and vote your conscience (Barack Obama) and be glad you can be part of this historic time in our country’s history. Is this a great country or what?
Yes, I realize today is Saturday and that the title of this blog post is traditionally ‘Video Friday’ but circumstances have intervened to prevent me from posting on Friday this week. So, here it is Saturday and here’s the latest video.
This time around horror maestro Wes Craven picks some scary videos for you from what he’s found on Youtube. Some of his picks are, in fact, pretty good. A couple others are, well, not so much.
But, as usual, I’ll leave the decision up to you as to whether you like any of the videos or not. That’s the only fair way to do it. Enjoy.

Just a quick photo of the new car I got on Saturday. Yes, its a BMW. A 535i with inline six cylinder, twin turbo, 300 hp goodness. It’s also got what BWM calls the Premium Package, Sport Package, Navigation and, most importantly, iPod support so you can control the iPod with the car’s built-in iDrive system and listen through the stereo.
That’s a very cool feature allowing you to see all your playlists, songs, etc. on the car’s screen and play what you want. All while leaving the iPod safely tucked away in the center console. Why did I get it? Well, I’ve been good lately so really, why not?
This photo is just a snap from the iPhone but I’ll post some better ones later, once I feel a bit better. Having a cold and nursing a shoulder injury can take a lot out of you. But looking at, and more to the point, driving a car like this, can go a long way to making you feel better. In a word, its just plain fun.
Here’s director/producer/actor Ron Howard with his PSA about the election. Which, sadly, I can’t embed here due to limitations imposed by WordPress. So, here’s the link to it instead. Enjoy.
I’m trying not to get much into politics these days as I got far more worked up during the last Presidential election and was very disappointed at the outcome. So, this time around, I’m taking a more hands-off approach and just voting the way I want to vote and not making too much of a big deal about it.
Still, when I see some interesting and funny stuff out there about the election or about a candidate I feel deserves some serious scrutiny due to her complete lack of qualifications for the job she’s running for, I feel obligated to present what I find for your consideration.
So, in that spirit, here’s Monty Python alumni and all-around funny guy John Cleese offering his insight on John McCain’s current running mate. Enjoy.
