Visiting Union Gospel MissionJohn Chow, Stephen Fung, Greg Morgan and I were invited down to UGM today to have some lunch and hear about some of the new stuff they’ve been doing lately. We’re always glad to go down to UGM as well as help them raise some funds to help folks in need over the holidays.
It’s A Cat’s Go-KartI think Stephen Fung and Gary Ng both own Roomba’s but I’m almost sure that they don’t have cats. That’s unfortunate because the Roomba isn’t just a “robot” vacuum cleaner but it could provide your feline friend with hours of amusement. Maybe we should tell Carl Nelson to get one.
Justin Timberlake is Funny…and WeirdConsidering he’s the man that brought you Dick in a Box, none of this should really be a surprise. However…yes, that shiver you feel is down your spine…from the absolute horror and hilarity.
SNL has really stepped up after years of mediocrity in the late ’90s.

I know I said I wanted to do this during Dot Com Pho on Saturday but that didn’t work out. Time has been scarce lately so I didn’t get that finished in time. Instead, I’ll just throw all your names into a randomizer and the first four in order that get drawn will read more.. Dot Com Pho - Pho Viet Edition
Pho Viet was the first Vietnamese pho place to open in Richmond and probably one of the first ones that I went to. Although it is not all that authentic since it’s run by Chinese folks, the food isn’t bad and it is cheaper than usual.
On the agenda today? Pholantropy, Zune gadget of read more.. Michael Jordan Beaten At One-on-One By…
I’ve often wondered what would happen if some of the greats that I consider to have retired too early were to come back to the game. Would Mario Lemieux still be able to sniper pucks? Maybe Pete Sampras would still have a wicked solid tennis game. Heck, how about the guys whose read more.. More Wacky Japanese Game ShowsIf you can think of any game shows wackier than what the Japanese come up with, I’d love to know. And no, just because Deal or No Deal sucks doesn’t mean it has sufficient wackiness. There has to be people falling into things, getting hurt…usually by the way of getting kicked in the read more.. Remembrance DayFor once, let’s just have some silence.
The Is Why I Don’t Use Windows AnymoreMorpheus and Neo help explain why Windows is sucks. Red pill? Blue screen.
See more funny videos and funny pictures at CollegeHumor.
Although Ubuntu probably sucks just as much there, Neo.
It’s Been Two Years…A Couple of Days Ago (plus Twitter Sunday Contest Update!)
A few days ago marked the second anniversary of when I started this blog. That’s right…it was two November 6th’s ago. I guess I forgot.
Unfortunately, that wasn’t the only thing I’ve forgotten in the past few days. Since I had forgotten to wake up for yesterday’s Dot Com Pho, I had forgotten read more.. Dot Com Pho - Pho Tan EditionAs I mentioned yesterday, I spent almost all night shooting Locusts in the face. Therefore, getting up in the morning proved a little difficult so I arrived a tad late for Dot Com Pho. As such, I don’t really have any idea what went on, really. I’ll leave it up to you read more.. Gears of War 2 is Mind-Blowingly Good
Literally. I can’t even count how many times my head has been reduced to a bloody splatter beneath a Locust size 57 boot in the last three hours. And I haven’t even started the campaign story mode yet!
I picked up my copy on the 6th and to my surprise, there was no lineup read more.. Jay-Z x Coldplay - Viva La Hova
I’ve been listening to this for a few days now the mash-up album’s release and while I still think Greg Gillis stumbled upon true greatness when he floated Jiggaman’s hot flow over Radiohead’s Paranoid Android, Jay-Z sounds pretty damned good over Coldplay as well. Maybe it’s just me but there’s a greater sense of read more.. What Most Of Us Already Knew About Sarah PalinThis is the storm you narrowly avoided, America.
In all seriousness, John McCain might’ve had a decent chance at the presidency if he didn’t make the monumental mistake of picking Sarah Palin as his running mate. I mean, did his campaign really think the Hillary voters would vote for her just because she’s read more.. Barack Obama = PresidentNot much else to say. Congratulations, America…you made the right call for the first time in eight years.

Top Gear is Back For Season 12!
As promised, Top Gear returned this Sunday. We can expect more drama with the guys going to what looks like a South American country, Russia, racing buses, driving on what looks like Route 66, Richard driving a flaming pink motorbike, James Racing the Stig and Jeremy pulling a Michael Kwan. Oh, James also read more.. Speed Link Sunday - Fake Iron Dumbocracy Edition
Only two days before the US Presidential election so I’d like to remind all of you Americans once again to get out there and vote! I’m not even American and I know how important this is!
Not much else is newsworthy these days and I suspect there won’t be til at least Thursday. All read more.. Dot Com Pho - West Lake Edition
The rest of us couldn’t make it to Dot Com Pho this week but it looks like John, Greg, Wolf and Sally kept the weekly get-together going. This week includes the largest Twitter Shoutout so far with, I believe, 27 people replying to get their name and URL featured during Dot Com Pho. read more.. Obama and Palin in Mercenaries 2?!I heard that the presidential nominees had upped their advertising within video games but this is sort of ridiculous! However, at the same time, the next president of the United States…and some lady from Alaska have never looked this badass!
Oh, and happy Halloween!
