Introducing the Angry Frog

I was looking for something different to do this weekend.  I’d shown my kids the interactive toys on ZeFrank’s website and the frog in particular proved popular.  It’s simple enough, you talk into a microphone and the Flash-animated frog will do an approximation of lip-synching to your words.
This formed an idea in my mind when [...]

xkcd comic – Computational Linguistics

I’m always looking to try new things when making videos and I recently had an idea.  I’m a big fan of the web comic xkcd and judging from how often it’s referenced in comments, so are at least a few of my readers.  I’ve been thinking for a while that some of the comics would [...]

SUV drivers deserve what they get

I found a funny article today via Reddit that tells of some loser who decided he could compensate for his tiny penis by buying and oversized Hummer.  The damn thing was so big it wouldn’t fit in his garage so he had to park it in the street.  It seems his neighbours believe a Hummer [...]

Politically Incorrect

Someone I know on YouTube asked me to do a video based on the idea “It’s a PC world.”  That’s PC as in politically correct.  I think.  Maybe he expected me to do a Mac vs. PC video.  I’m not sure what he thought the outcome would be, actually.  He’s on the conservative side politically [...]

Greatest song titles ever

I wrote a post last year about my favourite song lyrics of all time. It still gets regular hits and I’ve been meaning to follow it up for ages with some of my favourite song titles. I was pushed along in this direction the first time I heard Jarvis Cocker’s “Cunts are still [...]

The Vagina of a 20 year old virgin filled with semen

Now there’s some guaranteed search engine bait. One more post title to draw the pornhounds to my blog. But despite the seemingly gratuitous title I make two pledges:

It’s actually an accurate title for the content of the post
There’s actually some hardcore graphic content so the pornhounds won’t be disappointed. Especially the fans of “internals”.

This all [...]

Friday the 13th

A scary video for Friday the 13th.  Triskaidekaphobics beware!

Who am I responsible to?

So I had this weird turn of events overnight.  I was checking out my YouTubes (this is not another rant about how YT sucks, I promise – I got that out of my system yesterday) and saw an interesting piece from one of  my favourite YouTubers, Mr Safety.  He makes a range of stuff, usually [...]

It’s official: YouTube hates ordinary users

Fuck YouTube.
I think I’ve said that before.  But the way YouTube ordinary users just makes me so fucking angry.  And they seem to be getting worse.  They don’t fix basic flaws, like the fact their commenting system is fucked.  They ignore the fact that all their measurement metrics (most viewed, highest rated, most comments) are [...]

Why an average career can be a great career

I’m at the point of changing jobs, which usually gets me thinking deep(ish) thoughts about what I want out of my next job. I’m sure most people ask themselves the question, from time to time, “What am I doing with my life?”
Why am I stuck in this dead end job? Don’t I deserve [...]
