This one is for mooney, schdav and brooke
I talked about the new herbie movie starring the lohan at lunch today and they all chuckled at the idea. Now you can all watch the preview and chuckle too.
Credit goes to Nelson for this find.

I'm jelous of 10 and all her comments...
so I'm posting an open ended comments that might set a record for puntakoala and have the comments number break into the double digits.
If you had to write you epitaph right now, what would it be?

Now why didn't the CIA think of this?
Just in from the BBC, exploding frogs in Germany. For all these years we've been trying to get Castro with exploding cigars and what not, we just need some kamikaze amphibians. If these turtles are blowing up, lets rig out a giant sea tortoise, that'd get the job done.

two things I wanted to point out
One is freaking sweet.
And the other would the antithesis of freaking sweet, whatever that may be. Really weak, maybe?
Both links are from /. so Mooney, schdav and the rest of that crew have already seen them. A little teaser, one involves sky diving and playing video games, the other cronicles yet another instance of infanticide by a movie legacy's creator.

Bobby McFerrin, MD?
Well, the BBC says happy people live longer. I guess ol' Bobby was on to something.

My bazillion dollar idea
Okay, so this is really just a spin on an idea brooke had but I hereby annex it into the kingdom of JoeBucksCrazyIdeas-istan. I think it'd be sweet to make a cd that was nothing but various artists covering Jay-Z's song "Big Pimpin'"( that's the iTMS clean edit ). I know there's been cover albums and tribute albums, I'm partial to the Dashboard cover of Jamie ( WMS link from amazon ) on the Weezer tribute myself, but I don't know of a cd that is different versions of the same song. Now I'm talking full album, not some crazy EP action.
So, as a point of discussion I'd like to know who you'd all put on the cd. I'd like a little explanation/explanation as to why you'd put them on the cd also.
Here are my first few:
Dashboard Confessional, because I'd love to hear a whiny emo singer crank out the lyrics "Big pimpin'...Spending G's".
Mates of State, Jay-Z goes poppy synth-keyboard, it'd never sell but it'd be worth a laugh. Probally show up as the sound track to a Conan O'brian sketch
Johnny Cash, if he can cover depeche mode and sound good he'd tear this up
Weezer, I think that River Como could, if in the right mood, do a good cover of this.
Barry White, c'mon, is there anything this guy says that the ladies wouldn't fall for?
Alright, those are my picks, let me see what you all have?

Some info on Tiger
So, saw this article amongst some comments over at slash. It gives a very brief rundown on Tiger server, which is launching the same day as normal Tiger.
A few notable points:
- Server supports native file permissions and ACL's on win2k and win2k3 AD setups
- Allows network interface aggregation so your computer could fail over from a hard-line to a different hardline or maybe even wireless if you had it configured
- wizards to help people setup home networks ( automates setting up NAT, DHCP, firewall rules, port forwarding,VPN, etc)
- 64 bit optimized math libraries, functions, backuprubs, etc. Catch the 64 bit wave, all the cool nerds are
- And, as always, it appears that tiger gives existing hardware very noticalbe speed increases
Nick, rig this up and you'll save like .05% bandwidth at Bethel ;)

whoosa-jagga-what
Okay, so read the abstract from this /. article and try and explain it. I'm only awarding 1/2 points if your last name is Mooney. Double points if you answer and you're wearing anything that is green. This shoudn't nullify the first rule as I don't think Mooney owns anything green.
ps. Dave, I think you left your blue hoody at Nick's on Friday night.

Oh man is this funny
I just came across this link about dancing bits. Hitachi is putting out a hard drive where the bits are stored vertically vs. horizontally, allowing 10x the storage on the same size disk. I know other companies are planning on doing this but did they make a sweet cartoon? It's reminiscent of School House Rock, which gave us classics such as "conjunction juntion" and "I'm just a bill". I say watch it, even if you're of the not-so-nerdy variety, you'll laugh.

Soooo...been a while
Wow, I just received a comment and went to approve it but then I realized that I did't have a post on my front page, whoops.
Well, I've been busy, as most everyone is. Work has kicked into "crunch" mode so I'm in the office on a Saturday :(
On the "good news" side of things Paul and I have found an apartment. Tonight I'm hanging out with a bunch of guys for my buddy Chad's bachelor party. We're gonna go to the Mall of America, hit up some food and then go play some mini-golf/camp snoopy/arcade action. Should be a sweet time. Plus, as a bonus, I busted out the pink dress shirt. Wahoooo for pink dress shirts.
