Much Ado About Posting

Whenever I sit at this keyboard I should be typing an essay for my application for a Villanova MBA. Thus, I don't blog because once I start I feel like I'm not doing what I should be. In the meantime, here's a delightfully entertaining video of All American Rejects covering "Womanizer". Wooooo!



Oh, right, Thanks to Travis "T-Bag" Weber for the link!

Clip of the Year

Crackle

Those listening to Preston and Steve last week might have heard David Faustino plugging his new show on Crackle.com called "Star-ving". It's my recommended diversion of the week!

From Crackle: Star-ving Ep 4 feat Christina Applegate

Farewell Dubya

I'll miss your Late Show moments most of all!

Through Intelligence, there is Stupidity

I respectfully withdraw my previous knocks on Denon. Denon makes great products. Their only problem is that they cannot help but sell those products to stupid people like me.

You see, Denon receivers have a large Standby Button. When I tried pressing the button to turn on the receiver, the receiver did not turn on. Therefore I assumed the receiver broke.

Using my EE skills, I opened up the receiver last night. I tested power to the unit, and then into the unit. I found a line flowing towards the front of the unit. I traced it and noticed it connected to a button. I looked at the front and realized that next to the large Standby button is an On/Off button. I pressed it and the receiver promptly sprung back to life.

Through my intelligence, I realized I am an idiot. At least until I saw this, and then I felt a little bit better about me.

The 6th Borough

Jackie (for those of you new to the blog, Jackie = my wife) went to school with a lot of talented people. Some of them were bizarre in the "wow...I didn't think you could create art out of barbed wire, but...you did it!" kind of way. Others are talented in the "we might be friends with someone famous" kind of way. Her friend Jason, member of the 6th Borough Comedy troupe, falls into the latter category. He's the guy that wrote the skit below and also stars as the guy on the left (with the awesome sweater only outmatched in awesomeness by the hat). Enjoy!
