Not quite sober santa

by Josh at 2:18 pm

But interesting for the Philly connection. Double-O Luke. Help Tony Luke recover a computer disk with his cheese steak recipes on it, by shooting blond ninjas. The game is really bad, but hilariously bad.

Bits of web

by Josh at 10:12 am

I got to work late today and I was still the first person here. There’s one other person here now, but I’m still not seeing this as being a very productive day.
On that note, some commentary on interesting bits of electronica I came across today.
A USA-Today article on population growth has an informative tidbit [...]

More lego fun

by Josh at 10:58 pm

This from a German site called “Lego Goes to Hollywood.” Of particular not is the recreation of Michael Jackson’s Thriller using legos, which is what I was originally directed to the site for. It can be boring at some points. As they recreate it scene for scene, the part where Michael walks [...]

The rising cost of housing and socialism in professional sports

And other things you might talk about at lunch at CLVU.
The revelation of the day is that in order to afford the median rent for a two bedroom apartment in Massachusetts, you need to make $21/hour. Affordability being calculated as rent utililites 30% of your income. Of course, there are a few things [...]

Potter fans of the world rejoice!

In case you haven’t heard Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is finished. I was just talking to Susannah the other day about how I thought it would take JK Rowling another year to finish the book (and noted that she has an advent calendar on her web site). Of course, there [...]

What’s the mood in Philly?

by Josh at 11:18 pm

I’m just wondering what the feelings are about this whole TO thing. ESPN says he has an outside chance of playing in the Super Bowl, which has got to be bad news. Honestly though, I can’t see the Eagles losing to any NFC team even without TO, but the Super Bowl is a [...]

On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me

Beer in a tree!

It’s A Wonderful Life in 30 seconds

and reenacted by bunnies. In case your wondering, it can still bring a tear to your eye (though perhaps for different reasons than the original.) I swear the internet is way more entertaining than television.
Oh and they also have similar reenactments of Alien, Titanic, The Shining, and others.

Release

by Susannah at 8:23 am

I’m done. I just finished my last final and I’m waiting for Leah to be done so we can celebrate. This last final went pretty well and I’m fairly confident about it which is good considering that it counts for 50% of my grade (wtf!). My exam yesterday sucked proverbial donkey’s ass, [...]
