With summer firmly here in the Northern Hemisphere, we thought we would share a link we found at Dark Roasted Blend to a post at Luxury Property blog here. Personally I like the German converted barge… that would work on the Tennessee.

Lemuel Calhoon from Hillbilly White Trash has a post up commenting on and linking to a video of Mary Lynn Rajskub (Chloe) from 24 shooting a handgun, while EXTREMELY pregnant. It seems that Ms. Rajskub is practicing with a handgun because she has a family to protect. Post here.

I watched The King of Kong - a 2007 documentary about people setting / breaking the Donkey Kong world record (who knew right…) - last night and well … it was AMAZING!!! Even non gamers(like myself) / non geeks (unlike myself) will like it. Watch this.

A co-worker told me about this, said he saw her (Amy Walker) on the Today show. Very impressive.

What is the deal?

Chevy is currently running a ad with what I can only call a Musak version of Word Up by Cameo as the background music. What is the world coming too…..1) why would you pick Word Up as the background music to sell cars / trucks, and 2) why would you get some version OTHER then Cameo if you choose to use Word up. I do know the answer to both - #1 it is a catchy tune / phrase, and #2 they don’t want to use such a “hype” version of a song to sell trucks. Regardless I think it is CRAZY. For their next ad I suggest the following version of Insane in the Membrane.

Google News & the iphone Hack image

Filed under: Current / General, News, Photos / Images / Video, Technology permalinktrackback — Team Swap @ 4:09 pm

Once again Google News has created a funny in my opinion by randoming linking a semi related picture with a story. Apparently Bill Gates of Microsoft fame is the guy that hacked the iPhone 2.0 software. If that is true it would be the first REAL innovation that Microsoft has brought to the market in a decade.
