The Blog of Genius

…and now, a random fact about Vin Diesel:

Vin Diesel

Saying the words “MOLAKUM, VORADEUS, GLORKANO!” will turn his skin bright green for 20 minutes. You can do this up to 6 times a day.

Vin Diesel once fixed Stephen Hawking’s body. Then Hawking tried to take over the world but Vin Diesel broke Hawking’s body again after defeating him in Scrabble.

He often walks into children’s hospitals dressed as a doctor and tells kids they’re going to die. Then he yells “Just kiddin’!” and jumps out the window.

For every Vin Diesel there is an opposite Vin Diesel. Vin Diesel heard about this and promptly destroyed his opposite self. This created a paradox that unraveled the space-time continuum. Consequently, we are currently living inside Vin Diesel’s imagination.

Vin Diesel is actually Luke’s father.

Now my personal favorite:

Vin Diesel took an oath to use his powers for good, but one night, he got drunk and killed a hooker. The police never found a body though, because he had unhinged his jaw and swallowed the body whole.

…hours of fun to be had.

Another Set of Links

You know, this blog would look better if I was to put a few of these in every day rather than unload in one post.

Find Hitler

Think of Where’s Waldo, but with more marching and vigorous speeches. The site displays a group of ten random black and white pictures, each of which includes Adolf Hitler in some way. Fun game for the first three rounds, then you realize you are doing and change pages.

Not Doctor Pepper

You know how every chain of grocery stores has its own version of Dr. Pepper? Here, all those variations are catalogued for your viewing entertainment.

Yagoohoo!gle

Just like it sounds.

Experiment 1940

An odd little film about a Soviet project to resurrect dead tissue. Maybe a small piece of propaganda, but it’s interesting still.

Shirt I Want
Jacket I Want

For those of you that watch Red vs Blue, you probably remember the “You lied to me.” line. Think of Caboose and the transporter. Now you get it. See, the shirt is black… I’m not going to explain.

Midichlorian Count

Proof I am a nerd. Again, I’m not going to explain.

Driving Hat

This is a picture of my ‘driving hat’. It now resides at the top of my closet.

So, we’re at the Preview MU thing. The guy onstage is talking about the New Student Regestration and Orientation booklet that we should have gotten in the mail. He mentions that there are forms within that we need to fill out (done and done). He tells those that have not yet recieved their booklet that they can go to the website and download the forms in .pdf format. I lean over to my dad, who is sitting next to me and I say: “I love .pdf’s.”

He sits back and looks at me, wrinkling his brow. “You’ve got to be kidding.”

I tell him, “No, its a good format, loads quickly.”

He shakes his head and looks down. “Yeah, you’d probably like Apple too.”

I laughed. Amazing that something as simle as format preffrence or Operating System can tell you something about the person you are talking to.

Nintendo Themes Done A Cappella.

All of you favorite old-school NES theme songs done a cappella. Hear for youself.

Amazing video. Unfortunately, the video didn’t play automatically for me, so i had to download it and watch it. For those of you that dont know how to download embedded video, switch to firefox, install greasemonkey, get appropriate user script, restart firefox and go back to the video. It should have a button beside it that says: [download]. If all of that is too complicated and you still can’t see the video and you remember the 8 bit processor days when the Nintendo Entertainment System was and awesome thing to own, leave a comment here and put up your email address. I’ll send you the file (5 Megabytes) and remove your email from the comment, for yout own protection. But really, its worth it.

Preview MU

Wow, I am quickly getting out of the habit of posting on this thing. Thanks to Kyle for breaking in the comment abilities of the new blog.

Wednesday, April 13. Tonight at 7pm, I will be in downtown St. Louis with my parents at an event the University of Missouri has named “Preview MU”. I’ll meet and get to know other freshmen and tearn about what my life is going to be like for the next few years. Unfortunately, I wont be picking up my iBook until mid-June.

I heard a radio ad lastnight for Taco Bell. The end of the commercial went like this:

“Is that taco wearing a police hat?”

“Yes, and he’s got a few questions for you, ma’am.”

I laughed for a little while. The last line was delivered by a dancing burrito.

Speaking of burritos (burritoes?), I’m hungry. I’ll post more later.

WOOOOHOOOOO!

Seven Months till the November ship date.

Solar Death Ray

Finally, the one thing I need to round out my evil underground lair. Did I spell ‘lair’ correctly? I really don’t know. What I do know, though, is that concentrating the suns rays to burn a path of glory to my ultimate conquest of the planet is all good.

Warning:

The sun is bright. Don’t look at the sun or you will damage your
eyes. Anything that focuses the sun will only make it more
dangerous. The Solar Death Ray is dangerous. Don’t build one.
I’m surprised I haven’t burnt or blinded myself yet. The fumes
from molten plastic can’t be good either. Don’t play with fire.

Robotic garage gets OK

Robotic parking — like valet parking, but without the valet is coming to Fort Lauderdale.A totally automated parking system that racks and stacks cars in less space than a conventional parking garage.

Its like the car closet in I-Robot, for those of you that saw the movie. Too bad the condo its attached too costs more money than I will ever see.

World Wind, a software that lets you zoom from satellite altitude into any place on Earth is being offered for download using Bittorrent technology. This is possibly the first time the US Government is using the technology.

Sin City Comic-To-Film Comparison

Sin City Trailer

It really gives you a sense for just how painstakingly Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller went about creating this film. Some shots are very similar while others are damn near exact.

I want to see this movie very badly. Moreso, I want to get my hands on a couple of Miller’s graphic novels…my kinda comic books.
