The most important Vice President ever

I wonder how much longer John McCain can delay announcing his vice-presidential running mate?  Clearly he’s going to wait until the Democratic convention is over now but I wonder if he’ll wait until just before the Republican convention?  I did a bit of online checking and people have been predicting the announcement (and getting it [...]

I don’t like the look of you

Have you ever been in that weird situation where you have to work with someone who looks like someone you don’t like?  I’m facing that at the moment, by which I mean there’s a guy at work who bears a striking resemblance to a person (from the online world) I can’t stand.  They aren’t twins by [...]

George Bush – president for life

Anyone familiar with my videos will know I’m usually quick to dismiss conspiracy theories as stupid paranoia so you may need some explanation for this video.  The dialogue comes from the web site of a group called “Family Security Matters”.  They’re a bunch of right wing nutbags who apparently think the [...]

I call bullshit on U2

There’s a story doing the rounds that claims some new U2 tracks have been inadvertently leaked and found their way online.  The way it’s being reported, Bono was playing the tracks so loud in his French villa that a passer by was able to record them.
I call bullshit.
We’re expected to believe that the record company [...]

Internet self-analysis

I’ve commented/joked before that the internet is essentially the largest human behavioural research laboratory in history.  I sincerely hope there are a few PhDs being worked on that analyse the group dynamic we see at play here every day.  I’m sure some great truth about the human condition is waiting to be illuminated.
While being immersed [...]

Angry Motivational Message

Tomorrow is Monday.  I’m going to need some motivation.  Maybe you will too.

Just call me the angry Anthony Robbins.

Yologging on Vloggerheads

I’m experimenting with a new site called Vloggerheads.  It’s been started by some people who cut their teeth on YouTube and while I can’t actually speak for the founders the intention seems to actually learn from what’s gone wrong on YouTube.  And by “wrong” I mean wrong from the point of view of users who [...]

I’m better than you

Every now and then I throw out videos on YouTube I like to call hand grenades.  I pull the pin and lob it out there and wait for the carnage.  The “shut the fuck up” series were all hand grenades.  Basically, I decide on someone who pisses me off and I bait them.
Severely.
The fun thing [...]

Babies are lazy

Damn babies.  Lazy little buggers are just a drain on the economy.  Set the to work, I say!

And for anyone knee-jerk bleeding heart holier-than-thou moron who demands that I say this is a joke: FUCK YOU.  It isn’t my problem that morons don’t get irony.  I refuse to cater to morons.

The day I met Apu

I was having a bit of fun at lunch today, sharing work horror stories with a friend.  We covered the usual range of bad bosses and horrible cow-orkers and then we got on to interviews.  I’ve complained about job interviews before but one area I’ve never really gone in to is what it’s like to [...]
