Californian Sojourn

We're Having Ourselves a Full-On Political Music Video Fest!

    So first we have this little Pop and R&B number from the "Obama Girl" regarding the tad bit over his head Democratic candidate Barack Obama.  It's funny and my wife bemoans the fact she didn't think of it first (for Thompson, but I'm not quite sure how that would actually work out so perhaps it's for the best) but other then that it doesn't say too much.

    On the other end of the sphere we have Michelle Malkin and her Hot Air accomplice Bryan Preston presenting a reworking of the Fray's "How to Save a Life" into "How to Take a Life."  Though the vocals were shaky and could use some work, for some reason, I was surprised Malkin knew how to play the keyboard and decently at that.  Sure she's you know, Asian, but with everything else she's involved with I'd figure she wouldn't have the time to develop the skill.  Shows what effective time management can do for oneself.  This one, as you may suspect, actually provides a message (well there was a message in the first video but I don't think it was about Obama) and a rather solemn one at that.  If you haven't had a chance to see the reality of the situation, well the images will sure be eye opening.

I look forward to the Rudy G East Coast gangsta rap and Hilary's down south country diddy to "drop" in the coming days.

Effective Game Advertising

Best I've seen in a long while.  From the game Gears of War (all graphics from in-game engine):

Better version here.

You Won't Be Able To Escape Ads In The Bathroom Anymore

Behold!  While you're stuck there without paper towels and can only dry your hands via moving air, this will assault you!  Maybe I they can set up a market watch or something.

When The World Can Watch...

What happens if one Googles with imagination and some voyeuristic flair?  You've got yourself this.  Frightening and fascinating both at the same time, you gotta wonder what else Google can find you if you think long and hard enough, or maybe not even that long and hard?

Needless to say the fact that these Closed Circut TV's (CCTV) aren't so closed circuit should be a definite concern to those privacy loving folks, not to mention what possible use this could have for the elements in our world that seek to bring us harm.

Well, while we're busy figuring that out...I'm also gonna try and figure out what the heck this robo cam is for...

Does Anyone Know If....

Typepad actually supports pre-made templates?  Or am I gonna have to figure out the mystical ways of making this blog look better by my lonesome?

If I Had A S/O Right Now...

I'd probably be needing this:

There's Room For Halo 2

Life Begins Renewed, November 9th

Because you know what comes out that day? You might have guessed if you know anything about games, but even if you didn't....Halo frickin 2 comes to the X-Box home console!

*dusts off the geek dance*

*geek dances*

Update: Alright I just geek danced TWICE in one day after just now seeing the Episode 3 Teaser trailer that will play before the Incredibles! Oh man...

So I've Added Google Ads

And I'm already scratching my head at the ads that are popping up. I haven't blogged that much on Korea have I?

Windows Media Player 10

It is here and it ain't all that bad....

"Who's A Girl, I Love Girls!"

Good Lord...THIS is some funny stuff.

And let me tell you, that bit about politics on the 'Net is spot on. Oh I couldn't stop laughing at that one.

"I voted for Nader. I hate everyone!"

Oh man....

Note that the T-Shirt Folding vid is about the only other one you should check out. Cause the others ones might offend in some way or form.
