The Crackers

Perhaps one of the more anticipated events in the art world for 2005 was when “The Gates” arrived in New York City's Central Park. However, there are other, lesser known artists who have been inspired by this project, and yet lack the recognition of the big names in the art world. “The Crackers” is one such project - enjoy!

This Place Sucks

No, I'm not talking about this place (although due to a lack of updates on my part, it has sort of sucked lately). Instead, I'm talking about this humorous movie sent to me by one of my many intrepid internet humor seekers. The audio is taken from several choice scenes from Office Space, whereas the video is taken from the old Justice League of America cartoons. So just sit back, watch the movie, and relax!

Geeks as Action Figures

It started with the Revenge of the Nerds movies, then progressed further with the internet boom. Now, the cycle is complete, and the geeks have won. Introducing the new geek action figure - Geekman!

Like many other action figures, Geekman has the following special abilities: ungodly coding abilities, opposite sex repulsion, analytical reasoning, ability to create technical acronyms, and less than ideal personal hygiene routine.

12. Specifications are for the weak and timid!

11. This machine is a piece of GAGH! I need dual Pentium processors if Iam to do battle with this code!

10. You cannot really appreciate Dilbert unless you've read it in theoriginal Klingon.

9. Indentation?! -- I will show you how to indent when I indent yourskull!

Who is Joe Bloggs?

I stumbled accross this a day or two ago, and I had to chuckle. If you are in the software industry as a programmer, then you are very likely to relate to a lot of the humor in these episodic diaries. From the site:

Currently they are nearly two years late delivering an upgrade to a legacy application which forms the backbone of the company's internal IT systems. Joe Bloggs is a pseudonym of Joseph Bloggs.

Milk, Cereal, and Beards (Oh My!)

It's been a quirky day around the office, and I've got two humorous links for you all today. The first is another one of those internet songs that you can't believe were ever made, and are yet somehow strangely hum-able. Without further ado, I give you Milk and Cereal.

Part two of this quick double shot of humor involves beards. Not just your average, run-of-the-mill beards. Nope, we are talking about the official web site of the World Beard and Moustache Championships. Those are some pretty insane examples of facial hair gone wild.

A yes, Star Trek humor.. you just can't get enough of it. First up is About a Million Reasons Why Kirk was Better than that Bald Toad-Boy Picard. My favorite quote would have to be:

It is hard to descibe Fly Guy, othern than in the following very general terms. It is a Flash "game" which is more exploratory in nature than competitive. Check it out when you have a little bit of free time, and want to relax a bit. Dig that music, too!
