There's a few videos I want to share with y'all, and as well, I need to drop off some links, so, well, here ya go. :)

While I was at TOPL this past week, a discussion managed to make its way to old game shows. There was mention of a game show I had never heard of but was immediately interested in - The Magnificent Marble Machine. That link goes to one of the only remaining episodes of the show (NBC wiped the tapes in the 70's similar to what TVO did to Read All About It), where people (after answering a couple of questions correctly) got to play a large (20 feet tall!) pinball machine for prizes. If they bring that show back, I'm SO there. :D

Now that Venture Bros. is in its third season (!), Astro Base Go has an interesting deal - the T-Shirt of the Week Club. Each week, after an episode airs, they will offer a new t-shirt for that week related to the episode. Thing is, once the next episode airs, the last t-shirt is gone forever! They also have a subscription plan where you buy all 13 shirts for $250 and you get a bonus T-shirt that you also can't get anywhere else. So TEMPTING! :D

Now, when it comes to Rock Band, I'm pretty good. Not great, though. Ask anyone who was at this party how good I am at singing GlaDOS. XD (To spare your ears, this is not me singing Still Alive. This is me singing Boston. There's also an amazing Wonderwall Campfire sing-along if you follow the video over to the main site.)

And if you've ever wondered what hi-speed camera footage of wasps being hit with really tiny pies looks like, well, wonder no further. I can't stop laughing! (linked through kinnonyee.)

For those who haven't checked out the ReBoot webpage yet, the first comic is complete and you can view it in its entirety! Remember, Rainmaker Animation is looking to see how well the comic does - if there's enough interest, they'll be making movies! 3D movies! In Theatres! So go! Now! :D

Considering the allergies some people can get these days, it was only a matter of time before someone cited being allergic to Wi-Fi.

Apparently Canadians lead the way when it comes to procrastination. My "to-do" list is a bunch of Firefox tabs, really.

For my XO-owning friends, here's an article via Slashdot about upgrading the XO to become a little hacking buddy.

Got another call from Bell while I was putting this post together. Apparently I was "selected to get an LG Chocolate Phone". Aside from my incredulousness of being bothered again by Bell, I already have a Bell Mobile Plan. I should've just asked him if I could just have the phone regardless. Probably would've been worth more than the crap Samsung I have now.

The LG Chocolate is a piece of turd that no one wants, and is worth zero right now, so that's why they want to pawn it off on you.

Oooh thanks for the XO link, I've already heavily modded my system (reading and posting from it right now using firefox and running XFCE on top of the original XO fedora install) but this looks like some even crazier stuff. Woo!
