Are accurate shots the next online-driven sport? Not really, but they are still fun to watch:
- Accurate ping pong shots videos: 1, 2.
- Accurate garbage can shots video.
Whose Line Is It Anyway With Richard Simmons Video
I used to love the show “Whose Line Is It Anyway” (show page on TV.com). Unfortunately, it’s not aired any more (except for some un-aired episodes). Luckily, some videos of the show are online, and here are few of the funnier minutes (if not the funniest ever) of the show.
Darwin Awards 2006
Darwin Awards (main website link) is a website dedicated to people who got themselves killed in very creative (and stupid) ways. Every year the top picks of the previous year are advertised. For example, check out Darwin Awards 2006. (via Digg)
100 Things We Didn’t Know Last Year
BBC News published a list of 100 things we didn’t know last year. Some facts are really interesting, and all facts have links to their original stories, in case you’re interested in reading more. I admit I only got to about fact 25, but considering my short attention span, this is quite a lot. (via Slashdot)
Some Funny Videos
Here are some funny videos. After all, it is Thursday, which means the weekend is only a few hours away. So it better start with a good mood:
- Old but still funny Kyocera ads: 1, 2, 3.
- Rob Paravonian’s Pachelbel Rant.
- Harry Enfield’s Women, know your limits – now this is just for laughs. I do not support the notion of women knowing their limits. OK, this didn’t come out right.
- Clips from Craig Ferguson’s Late Late Show: 1, 2. I love this guy from his days in the Drew Carey Show.
Clocky, The Hiding Alarm Clock, Is Actually A Product Now
What was a concept before (previous post link) is now actually a product: Clocky, the clock that hides once you hit the snooze button, so you’ll have to find it in order to stop it screaming. Luckily, I don’t have trouble waking up once the radio softly turns itself on in the morning. (via Digg)
Good And Bad Things About Windows Vista
If you’re curious about what Windows Vista looks like and maybe get the idea of the benefits you may get from using it, you can read it here in “The Five Best and Worst Things About Vista”.
I must say I’m not impressed with the basic usage patterns in Windows Vista. For me, the way the GUI behaves doesn’t really matter as long as it’s reasonable and I’m quite happy with Windows XP. However, I’m wondering what Vista has to offer for programmers. (via Digg)
Leo Laporte Talks About Microsoft’s Zune
The Zune is Microsoft’s iPod competitor. It came out with a lot of marketing but failed to match any reasonable sales expectations. It is mostly criticized as being incomplete and immature. Personally, I think the first version of Microsoft stuff always comes out lacking, but Microsoft stays for the long haul and delivers a fine product in later versions. Right now, however, you can see Leo Laporte talk about the Zune and see for yourself why it (currently) sucks. (via Digg)
Stupid Gadget For Compulsive Email Checkers
I really thought this day was going slow on the blogging side until I saw this stupid gadget. The Email Clock ticks the amount of email going into your inbox, so you can… well, I have no idea what you can do with this information. No clue whatsoever.
What Today’s Kids Think About Old Games
Last year they let some kids play old, classic, games. Their reactions to the games were hilarious. So hilarious, actually, that they repeated this with different games again this year (and got an equally funny result). (via The Old New Thing)
