Web 2.0 video
This video was made entirely with stop-motion photography. These guys did an awesome job of it, too.

Cooking with Movies
Kelli and I watched The Protector this evening. What follows is my best guess for the movie's recipe.- Five parts martial arts mayhem
- Two parts gratuitous explosions
- One part corn
- Two parts random CGI dream sequences
- One part cheese and/or cheesecake
- 81 parts windows jumped/kicked through without any scratches
- Three parts condensed Deus Ex Machina
- Five bags of thugs who will attack the protagonist with lightbulbs, knives, or bare fists after watching the hero break the legs and arms of the last 25 people who tried the same thing.
- Three whole elephants
- A dash of Jackie Chan cameo
- One part unevenly mixed dubbing and subtitles
Mix thoroughly and pour into a pan resembling an old video game from the 80s. Allow the plot to rise to the top, then skim off as much of it as possible. (A little will still remain, but it'll be just enough to make the audience wonder what the heck is going on.)
Add several gigantic musclebound caucasians just before pressure cooking at 450 degrees with Quentin Tarantino for 15 minutes, then use Baa Ram Eue (A REAL company - I LOLed for a while when I saw that...) to produce it until golden brown.
Serve as a late night movie in a few months, since the fight scenes are fun to watch but the movie isn't worth any kind of monetary investment.
And FYI, this is coming from someone who owns a copy of The Flying Guillotine.

Need more furniture!
This weekend we're heading up to PA to clear brush. Maybe I should bring some nails, too.

Where are they now?
1990: John Kimble is the Kindergarten Cop.
2006: John Kimble runs for the US Senate!
Man, he really let himself go...
More foolishness
" I personal respect and welcomes immigrants ... But I strongly opposes efforts ..."
Now Kelli suspects that English may not be this guy's first language, and I'm known to have a typo or three myself.
That being said, when you're running for an office you should have someone proofread what you write (or what someone writes for you).
Things best left unsaid
The Maryland Primary is tomorrow, so I'm researching candidates in some of the less publicized categories. I don't think I'm qualified to vote for someone if I don't know where they stand, after all.At first I was thrilled when I read that this guy had a lot of tech in his background.
Then I remembered what his site looked like.
Boys and girls, if you're going to put "Web Developer" in your resume you had darned well better not be using blinking text on your FAQ page!
The animated GIFs on the home page weren't that great, either.

I reject your reality...
Mythbusters is one of the few things on tv that makes cable worth having.
House and Simpsons don't count, since I can get them with rabbit ears.

This is one of the most ammusing takes on Net Neutrality I've seen in a while.
