Freaking Insane

This is one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen on YouTube. Seriously, this guy deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. I’m not sure which Hall of Fame, but one of them, somewhere.

I don’t recall ever seeing Tony Hawk, Bam Margera, or any other professional skateboarder do even 1/10th of what this guy does. And when I do see them, they screw up and fall after ever third move.

Personally, I never got into skateboarding, but this guy is a freain’ gymnast.

Squares 2
This is an awesome game. I really am enjoying this game. And since it’s random, it’s even better than Escapa!, which is also a great game. Trust me, you will love this.

Elevator Floor Illusion
Haha. Funny.

Central Florida Doodles
Florida’s Sweetest Labradoodles” This is where we got Duke.

OK GO

Is this cool or what? It’s a video for a band called “OK Go,” and the entire thing appears to be done in a single take. Very cool!

Two Quickies

1. CRACKED magazine online reports about 5 Movies Hollywood Needs to Stop Making Now. It’s hilarious.

2. Youtube is simply amazing. So, without further adue, something you could only find on the internet: Japanese pen tricks. It’s like extreme “penning,” or something.

The Maragret Thatcher Illusion
Oooooh! Scary face! But actually, really kinda cool. Interesting how the mind works…. which leads me to…

Mind Performance Hacks
I want this book. Seriously. I want this book to sharpen a mind that I spend the majority of the time dulling.

Crazy urban ninja dude
Because the first minute is totally sweet.

Armless Man Plays The Guitar With His Feet
I would watch this dude, not walk by aimlessly, as most people seem to be doing.

It’s Peanut Butter Jelly Time!
No need to say any more.

Girl Archer
This is just too amazing to be real. Some people have amazing toes, like the dude above.

Pac-Xon is totally addicting.

I love this game: PacXon.

Try it. You’ll love it.

Linky see, linky do.

Goodbye Microsoft, Pete has now left the building
A fellow Floridian, an Microsoft insider, describes why he finally ditched Microsoft and Windows for Apple and Ruby-on-Rails. For the record, I still think Rails is a fad. It’s very cool, but the catch is, ya gotta learn Ruby to use it. A lot of these frameworks are very powerful and great RAD tools, but I’m sticking with PHP5 for now.

Do NOT watch this
*Suriously*. It’ll make you dizzy, and you’ll feel a hollowness in your stomach. I don’t usually get queezy, this is the worst video I’ve seen in ages. Yikes.

“We Have Not Forgotten, Mr. President.”
Keith Olberman tears President Bush a new arse.

Asshat flies out of truck
Truck + Dunes + Guy being douche-bag = ?

Why Vista will be the end of Microsoft
Of course, we all know it won’t be. On the contrary, it will be a success. But I agree, it will certainly be the first chipping of the wall. Start the timer. Microsoft’s dominance will be majorly altered in the next decade.

Link Soup, Part Whatever.

I’ve been meaning to post a bunch of great links for awhile, so I have several saved up.

This dude can balance himself on ONE FINGER. This is incredible.

A note on OS X’s kernel_task
This one is a little nerdy, but it’s an excellent article on WTF kernel_task is and why it’s always present

Bullet Bill
Play Super Mario Brothers as…. the bullet?!

Girl caught stripping by mom
A girl with a webcam and a boyfriend gets caught by her mom. Hilarious!

CRAZY Russian Experiments
This video, thus far thought to be real, is from a 1940’s Soviet lab. Amongst the things on the film: keeping a dog’s HEAD alive without the body (about 5:32 in) and killing a dog and bringing it back to life. Yes. Seriously.

Family Guy Behind the Scenes
Did you know that Cleveland is a skinny white guy? Watch the cast recording some lines.

Last post

This is my last post before the wedding. I’m officially off the osnews-crew list until I get back, I’m done with everything online, I’m setting up my “out of office” stuff. But before I go, here’s a list of fun links.

First up, what happened to Hostess Chocodiles? Chocodiles were essentially chocolate covered white-cake Twinkies. They used to be on sale everywhere when I was a kid, but now I can’t find them. Enter freshchocodiles.com, who will gladly ship you a 10-box for a measley $9. I’m all over this when I get back.

There’s a script I want to check out called Links Thumbnails, which does the Yahoo!-like website thumbnail when you hover over a link. Look for that here soon.

Well, that’s all for now. See you all in a week and a half.

Link foo

I have decided that rather than bookmarking cool sites that I really want to revisit but never do, which is a regular habit of mine, I’ll post them here where I can find them (under the “Links” tag!) and share them with everyone. So, without further adue, here are today’s links.

Escapa!: A fantastic javascript game

Some nice GIMP tutorials

How meditation works

Wikipedia’s List of words of Yiddish Origin
