Hello, my name is Mr. Malley

I never thought I’d be one to post a YouTube video of somebody’s cat, but I laughed way too hard to not share.

In light of how infrequently I’ve been posting lately, I think it’s time I change the scope of this blog from “Education, Technology, and Occasional Nonsense,” to “Education, Technology, but Mostly Nonsense.” Considering the amount of garbage media I consume on a daily basis, I think I’d have much more to write about.

For example, I give you this gem of a game:

You have to Burn the Rope

Enjoy.

Hilarious.

Here is a ridiculous advertisement ran by the McCain campaign stating that Obama would be a poor president because he’s too … popular(?):

Note that it lumps Obama into a category with Brittany Spears and Paris Hilton (as if to suggest that they are objectionable characters in some way). The strange thing is that Hilton’s parents are not only McCain supporters, but they’ve contributed money to his campaign!

Priceless.

I found a site that will turn an uploaded portrait into a Simpson’s character.

All you do is upload a picture of yourself, answer a few questions, and it creates the character.

Even though I was wearing glasses in the picture I used, I had to add them manually. And, it turned my soul patch into a massive goatee, so I had to change that back.

I uploaded two different pictures and it gave me the same guy. If you try it out, email me the resulting picture. I’d be curious to know how many different characters they select from for each go.

… perfectly legitimate way to spend your time.

For anyone who went to college in the late 90s, you know why this is monumental. We played this game way more than we should have. I can’t believe it is 10 years old already.

Can you imagine what college dorm life is like now that Xbox Live allows users to play multiplayer games across entire campuses? Chaos. I bet nothing ever gets done!

So, I basically stole that title from Engadget but I don’t care. It was too cool not to reuse!

It’s true.

Sending your kid off to school these days isn’t what it used to be …”

Still don’t believe me? Watch the news report.

I just came across this on YouTube: “iPhone: the Music Video” by David Pogue from The New York Times:

Then, I saw this one (also by David Pogue):

Then, while on LiveJournal, I witnessed this atrocity:

In true dork fashion, I will now blog about the manual labor I have ahead of me …

Gotta shovel? Good back? Man. It’s going to be a long, hot day.

Update: 1-ton of rocks has nothing on me.
