Obama’s Ponzi Scheme

From Gary Varvel:

Social Security

Since Obama wants to increase investment in Social Security, I’ll blame him!

A Video Site Worth Using!

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

I never really understood YouTube.  It’s neat, I guess.  But frankly, its mostly junk, and I hardly ever use it (I don’t even have a YouTube account).  However, over the last week I’ve really started to notice Hulu, a completely different approach to online video.  Unlike YouTube, Hulu could be the Comcast of the future.

Hulu does not have any home made videos (which are usually low quality).  Rather, they license high-quality movie and television content that you’d actually want to watch.  Maybe it’s because I don’t have cable at home, or maybe its because the video is actually really good quality – but this is a service I like.  I watched the movie “Spy Games” with Robert Redford & Brad Pitt the other night, and it was great.

Advantages of Hulu:
* High-quality video.
* Content that you’ll recognize and want to watch.
* They do include advertisements during the video, but they’re usually 15-30s, and quite minor compared to cable television.
* They even offer some custom content only found on Hulu such as Crawford and Dr. Horrible.

Disadvantages of Hulu:
* Limited selection of content.  (But improving all the time!)
* You are required to login to view much of the content.  (Not too bad though)

My Clone, Dr Horrible

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

When I was a kid, everyone used to say I looked just like this guy.  I still sometimes get strangers saying so.  I was never very fond of the shows he did back then, but finally my clone has done me proud.

Doing Valentine’s Day Right

Saturday, February 16th, 2008

valentines This year, Valentine’s Day landed on Thursday.  Valentine’s Day is a day where we buy lots of perishable presents – flowers, candy, etc.  So of course, the stores have all the Valentine’s Day items at 50% off even today…  they don’t save until next year.

By celebrating on Friday instead of Thursday, we had the luxury of going out on a weekend night instead of a weekday night.  But I also saved 50% on the gifts.  Totally cheap?  Probably; but I bought twice as much stuff…. I think I’ll do it again next year.  Unfortunately, Feb 14, 2009 is a Saturday.  So I’ll have to come up with a new excuse for waiting an extra day…

Where’s Obama?

As politically incorrect as it is, I finally got around to doing my google search for “Osama Obama” today.  It yields some very funny stuff.

Microsoft Changing Image In Advertising

Friday, January 11th, 2008

In addition to the new Windows Stay At Home Servers Marketing, Microsoft Server 2008 is also launching it’s humorous marketing campaign.  I like the part about drinking a “blue screen”!

Seems Microsoft is getting a little softer.
