Radio Paradise - great web radio site

There is a espresso shop near my work which I frequent - Muddy Waters. Great coffee, free wireless. They are always playing a cool music mix. Finally, I asked what they were listening too. The told me it was "Radio Paradise, a stream from the web".

Two new fun sites for y'all

OK Folks. Shine up your funny bone. Here are a couple of "dark humor" sites that I found pretty entertaining.

First up - The Evil Bastard's Rationalization Guide .
"Evil people are the most oppressed minority in the country these days. Government officials who would never dream of using racial or religious epithets in their speeches have no qualms about calling for the incarceration or execution of every Evil person they see."

Second up - Motivational Posters Based on Comic Book Characters .
The artist made these in response to the announcement that Marvel Comics is now making motivational posters .

Three More Movies in the Thought Provoking file

Here are a few more on-line movies that are thought provoking.

The first one is EPIC 2014 This has been around for a while but seems to be rising again on the "meme" cycle (more about that later). The premise - it is 2014 and the New York Times has gone offline... It is a look at what the future of "news and media" might become based on the current trends (more on that also later).

The second one is an ACLU movie - Pizza Privacy. It is a look at what the future might become as our privacy disappears.

The final movie is a slide show from Iraq set to music by the BYU Choir. Great pictures and very poignant. (click on read more to see the lyrics to the song). What I find amazing is that the right sees this as "an anthem to rally around". Us lefties see it as a beautiful and moving statement as to why we shouldn't take war lightly. The right seems to think that disapproving of the war in Iraq and of wishing our troops weren't in harms way is somehow betraying the men and women of the armed forces. sigh.... didn't mean to start a rant this late in the evening. Anyway. Watch the photo show. It really is quite wonderful and moving.

Check out the time on these clocks.

These on-line clocks are very cool. These are animation based so give them a minute to load. I would post a screen shot but it would ruin the fun for y'all. The clocks are by Yugo Nakamura who does some pretty cool web animation stuff.

Three entertaining movies.

Below are three funny movies for you all. The first is a take off on the MasterCard ads and a send up of Red Sox fans. The second, is a Virgin Airline ad that is pretty entertaining. The third is for IT Industry insiders. It is a version of Don McLean's "American Pie" for IT folks. Enjoy.
