Today's Mighty Oak


And I’m restarted and updated and back!

Let’s start it off with this amazing pic:

I never really thought to add smoking and reading, but, someone else did.

Last year, the Westboro Baptist Church picketed outside of Twitter. because God hates messages that are 140 character or less…or something.  But they got rick-rolled!

Check out some other awesome signs here.  I love when nerds counter-protest!

This is amazing!  Apparently, doctors in the U.K. have been able to bring about brain activity on a man in a coma who was declared brain dead, and now they can ask him simple questions.  Amazing!

Gamespy has a list of the 25 worst stock video game photos, check them out here, and below is a favorite:

Making a website or some other pursuit and need a dummy image?  Here’s a dummy image generator, pretty handy when you need it.

Have I told you lately how much I want this?  Really, this would be awesome right next to a Lost Orchid Station sign.  Dorkiest garden ever!

It’s from last year, I believe from when Facebook once again screwed up their privacy settings, but check out this history of media scares.

Okay, that’s it for now, I think.  Catch everybody soon!



Here’s some more items that I’ve had around for a while but have not have a chance to pass them on, enjoy!

We’ll start off with Disney Characters…as zombies!  Some of the costumes are pretty good, others not so much, but still fun.

What if Lost had an opening credit sequence…like Dollhouse:

Last year, PETA was trying to have Phil freed.  Here’s the quote, that is completely true:

Phil is “being treated better than the average child in Pennsylvania” and lives in a climate-controlled environment.

Would you rather an iPad or a stone:

I vote for multi task…

Speaking of the iPad, do you remember that it was unveiled the same day as the State of the Union address?  Well, here’s the results if you were to just mash the two together:

It’s old, and already been a problem, but Murray Hill Inc ran for Congress.  Check out their press release and TV commercial.

Feeling sick and don’t want to go to work?  Make sure to follow Kim’s advice:

Okay, I’ll be back with another post, but I need to restart my computer, so I have to cut this one short so Windows Updater will stop having a conniption.



New photos uploaded!  This time from my trip to Phipps to see the Gargoyle show.

More reason that I’m a pacifist.  And the fighting on the various websites around the net are even more saddening.  From accounts that I’ve seen, the alleged gunman was a strange person, obsessed with individualism and apparently the idea of the 2012 apocalypse.  Sad no matter how you look at it, but maybe this will make people calm down and act with civility towards each other.

Sullivan has been live blogging and I’ve been kind of transfixed.  Here’s the link, and here’s a quote I’d like to highlight:

I have no expertise in this at all, but my impression of his writings and web presence does indeed suggest to me that some mental illness is probably a key part of this. But this does not exonerate violent or excessive rhetoric from the far right or far left: it’s precisely the disturbed who can seize on those kinds of statements and act on them. The danger of violent rhetoric, especially involving gun violence, is its interaction with the disturbed.



It came out last year, but I love it, so I’m reposting it:

It’s almost time for the Winter Classic!



I just got back from my first trip to the Consol Energy Center, watching the Baby Pens play the Hershey Bears (who happen to be the Capital’s feeder team, hence the match-up in the lead in to the Winter Classic).

Check out my pictures below, and they are in the gallery as well.

This is spreading pretty quickly, as many people were waiting for it, so if you haven’t seen it, enjoy the annual mash-up of the top 25 Billboard Pop Hits:



One of the things I’ve been working on is sorting all my photos.  I’ve added a new menu item, which will show some of the photo galleries which I have uploaded.  Once I get caught up, new photos will go up a lot faster than before, so I hope you like it.  Not only will they all show up in the photo gallery page, but I can easily link to them here, just like these pictures from my trip to Quantum Theater:

Okay, one more Christmas type video, this one from T-Mobile in a follow up from their “Welcome Home” video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29pYYtejLpg
