Ah, this should make all of us feel better that we are not famous. because then when we are bumming it on a late friday night walmart run, there could be cameras following us around and taking pictures like this:



I don't know if Madonna is a good example. I'm pretty sure that she looks like that all the time.

see the other ones, here

IF you have a computer that is any of the following:

1. Has a virus and is super slow
2. is old and super slow
3. is super slow for no reason

What is presto? 

 

it is an alternative to windows, it still can surf the web, play your music, and do other things.  but it starts up in only 15 seconds! 

You may have heard of something called “linux” and thought:  sounds geeky! I could never use it!

Let me know if that helps you at all?

so janelle Dropped a BOMBshell on the morning show today that she found her old wedding dress and wedding hat????  she might bring it in tomorrow… but for now we are stuck speculating what it may look like.  Below is some renditions done by our resident photo editor:

 

pepper hat?  you ask why, i ask why not?

this one is pretty classy.  because that is what janelle is.

This is in homage to her favorite band evah, the village people.  she actually changed hats during the ceremony to accomidate all 4 of the hats that the different band members wore.

 

this one is for shaun michaels, because he has always wanted to be a train conductor.

did you know Janelle is Russian? Nyet?

 

It’s been a while since we have heard from joy williams, and I’ve found out that she has formed a new band called “The Civil Wars'” 

Well with a name that cool, we can have high hopes for their music, right?  Click below to download two songs for free to check it out for yourself:

And if you are thinking: well if it is anything like her old stuff, I won’t like it, well check out the new stuff.  MUCH different than what you’ve heard before!

This is insane! As a guy who likes to try to make videos, I want to figure out how they did it!

Ok so this guy in the UK loses part of his finger. So he decides to get a prosthetic one. He's also a computer programmer, so he decides to put a USB drive IN THE FINGER!



and since I know you were wondering "how does that go in the computer?"



If you had a mental image of this guy, your guesses are confirmed. He apparently does not shower in order to protect his new finger:



This may be a new trend. I know my fingers have zero memory in them. it is time for an upgrade.

So I found this cool website that takes words and makes them look more awesome.  take for example, my weekly to do list:

you can also have it make a “wordle” out of an rss feed, like the one on my blog:

once again, infinitely cooler than anything I have ever seen!  Get started by going to

http://www.wordle.net/

Ok, so even Brent succumed to the 25 things cult. But I will never! (mostly because I can't remember 25 cool things about me)

But here is a much easier Cause to be a part of. I now present to you, my facebook peeps:

STATE THE OBVIOUS!

here is the link: http://apps.facebook.com/causes/244596?m=05304c83

Here is a little more about the awesomely laziest cause you can be a part of:

Positions:	people post lots of pictures on facebook they usually like it when people comment when you comment, they will be excited to see what you have to say you will comment with one word answers followed by a period hilarity ensues
Description:	comment on pictures with one word answers higlighting obvious things on the picture. For example, the picture of our cause is a horse, you should reply to that picture with "horse."

Here is an example, actually the inspiration for starting this cause:

All hail our new dollar menu smackdown overlord. McChicken, we tremble in fear of your spiciness. The best we can do is ask for extra mayo to combat your taste explosion. Alas, our efforts may be in vain as you may become self-aware at any time and start serving McHumans to your counterparts and superiors.

and now, a haiku about the winner:

McChicken you have
won the hearts of many - may
your reign be tasty.

Only two remain!

Which made me think of this video:

 

Warm weather makes me happy!  What makes you happy?

If you’ve ever heard that be the reason why you can’t try something new, check out this guy, and how he uses a bowling ball:

 

Another example of someone challenging the status quo: the “Fosbury Flop”

An American in the 1968 summer Olympics tried it the first time, people must have thought he was weird and crazy, but now it is the standard technique used in  high jump events.

 

But here is an example of a guy who shot free throws very well, but you never see anyone shoot like him in the NBA:

 

Exit Question:  What is one way you have challenged the “Status Quo” – or what is one thing that you think could be done better?
