There and Back Again

There is a new show on the Discovery Channel this year called Time Warp.  It started pretty fun but is getting worse in my opinion, whether that is because i have seen enough slow-mo camera action by now, or because the ‘Discovery Channel’ effect (where the same clips get shown over and over while the guy does the annoying voice over) has taken over, i am not sure.  anywho, here is a cool collection of clips, be sure to browse related videos on youtube, there are some cool ones. (search Time Warp)

Also, wasn’t/isn’t today a wonderful fall day?  it is making me feel very cooped up and anxious for something to do.  alas there is nothing to do.

I have been enjoying watching feasting on waves and feasting on asphalt.  They also happen to be filled with fun little travel/food related tidbits, and i share this one.

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts.

The further one goes the less one knows.

i need to find a food related one in this epsiode! oh well.  they are all good pithy sayings.

-update-

I feel i have to add this since my post title referenced computers.  Microsoft research is upping the ante with their Surface product -> SecondLight.  i recommend checking out the linked video from the article.

I heard on the news or radio or internet the other day how McCain was supposedly going to be making a last grab at getting PA votes.  However, i have never once heard anything from McCains campiagn.  But i have had neighborhood door to door visits from obamas camp at least 4 times over the past two months.  Am i out of the demographic and McCain just doesn’t care about trying for my vote? I don’t get it.  This just seems like further proof that all the McCain camp is running on is negativity.

Mel had posted this on facebook the other day, and i thougt it was interesting, the photo especially. (and accompanying description of course).

In more interesting news, i am watching Sholay right now.  I can see why it is noted as one of the top films, it is funny!

Ok, I am going with a theme here.  The theme is, well, how about you just use your brain to figure it out.

First i start with one of my all time favorite GetFuzzy comics.

And then, if i can find it, i will move onto a more ‘multi-media’ version of the same joke.
