If Houston Astros fans are an actual species that exists in the wild, I would like to apologize to them for not getting to this before now. I would especially like to apologize if any of them are the type to enjoy a cold, refreshing snow cone at the game now and then. After watching …

Trixie and Tansy Meet, And We Get Video
Hi. It’s me. You know, the one who never writes anymore? I have a metric boatload of ideas for posts. Who knows how many I’ll get through…but here goes. I’d said a while back that Trixie and Tansy had met, and the meeting wasn’t the most wonderful. Well, they’ve since had 2 more meetings, and …
If You’ve Ever Complained About A Slow Waiter, You Can Now Have Your Head Taken Off By A Helicopter Instead
We’ve got a beer delivering drone, so why not an iPad controlled food delivering helicopter? UK-based chain Yo! Sushi is testing an airborne “flying waiter” that could soon be used to deliver orders to customers. To celebrate the release of its Yo! Burger, the company has created the iTray, an iPad-controlled food delivery drone that …
Yes, There’s Definitely Sum Ting Wong Here
I don’t know what the names of the crew aboard Asiana flight 214 are, but I’m pretty sure I know what they aren’t. Really, we’re not racist. Some of our best friends are Asian pilots. Indeed, to the surprise of no one other than the KTVU news team who apparently don’t bother reading anything aloud …

What Does That Stand For?
The world is full of initials, but what do they all mean? Here’s a video that explains a bunch of them, almost too quickly to take in. If you quizzed me, I think before watching this I could have gotten 5, maybe 6 of them off the top of my head. Now the question is …
People Better At Music Than You: Tina The Van Halen Playing 14-Year-Old
This is completely ridiculous. And for a change, I mean that in the nicest of ways. What you’re about to watch is somebody playing the absolute king jesus hell out of Eddie Van Halen’s Eruption solo. You know, the one you hear right before the cover of You Really Got Me. But it’s not just …

You May Always Love Them, But They Won’t Always Love You Back
I’ve heard of all kinds of people being thrown off of planes for things like getting drunk or threatening fellow passengers. But for singing I Will Always Love You over and over again? That’s a new one. According to reports she began her endless rendition of the divisive tune shortly after the flight took off. …

Lord…Oh Lord…
Here’s a bit more Richard Jeni. Whoever uploaded this one misspelled the word religion in the title, but I won’t slag him too much since he clearly has good taste in comedy. This one is all about his experiences going to church as a kid and how they could have been made much better if …
The Irresistible Force Meets The Immovable Object
I grew up watching wrestling, often hearing Gorilla Monsoon describe confrontations as “the irresistible force meets the immovable object.” Sometimes I would hear this and wonder to myself, what would it be like if that were actually true? And now, after all these years, I think I have my answer. Thank you, science. Spoiler: It …

Interesting Premise: The User Is Drunk
A colleague found this at work and sent it to a bunch of us. After laughing, I thought it was great. Not all of it applies to accessibility, i.e. Facebook chat is awesome? I don’t know, but I don’t think it’s that rockin’ for people who don’t use the computer in the conventional way. But …
