Here’s one of my favorite YouTube videos. A lot of people had a really bad day on this icy road. Accident after accident on black ice. Bonus:  The transportation safety truck with arrow pointing the wrong direction.

Star Wars Fans or Sports Fans: Who’s More Annoying?

Who is more annoying, Star Wars fans or sports fans? This two minute documentary asks the question. The answer seems clear to me.

"You’ve both wasted your lives memorizing irrelevant trivia that can’t possibly help you in life"

"That’s a really good joke, man." lol

Thanks Eric!

CSI Miami David Caruso One Liners

I’ve never watched CSI Miami but these clips of David Caruso One Liners are hilarious. Some of my favorites:

-You don’t spend a thousand dollars on clothes …that you’re never going to wear.
-They brought the war to us.  Now we …are gonna take it to them.
-So we have a victim that started the weekend big man on campus, and ended it …dead on arrival.
-Thats what happens …when worlds collide.
-The verdict is in, Frank …but the jury is out.

Porsche Carerra GT sounds like an F1 car

One of my favorite cars is the Porsche Carerra GT. Here is a 15-second video clip of two of them.  The video itself isn’t much special, but listen closely to the sounds those motors produce. I cannot think of another car with a better sounding motor.

Helicopter Bottle Opener Competition

From the "absurd" files… This video shows a competition between helicopter pilots.  Their task: open as many beer bottles as possible with the time allotted. The bottle opener is attached to the helicopter skid. Completely pointless perhaps, but it looks like a lot of fun.

Top Gear did a review of the fastest stupid car ever.  Check out the race between a shed, boat, couch, and dumpster.  Why isn’t there a racing bed?

Super Mario Brothers Race, should be an Olympic sport.

Super Mario Brothers is only a 6 minute game. Check out this race to kill Bowser in front of a live crowd. With Kenny Loggins playing even. These guys have amazing skill. It doesn’t get any closer than this! I wonder how many hours it took to become this proficient at SMB.

Smart Car + Suzuki GSXR Motor = Fun!

People ask why I would want to put a powerful motor into the Mini Cooper. This illustrates my reasoning. Take a lightweight car like this Smart and add a rocking powerplant like a high-revving Suzuki GSXR motorcycle 4 cylinder. The results speak for themselves.

Multi Touch Screens are the Future

Whoa. After seeing this my first thought was "keyboards are going the way of the dinosaur." We will probably eventually be typing directly on monitors, but I  also think (sooner) keyboards won’t have traditional plastic keys as we know them know.  Imagine a touchscreen keyboard with changing layout.  Each program you open will optimize keyboard space with shortcut keys.  If you open MS Word, you’ll get keys for bold, italic, etc. If you open Internet Expolorer, you’ll get keys for favorites, back, forward, etc. And if you open Adobe photoshop, you’ll be able to draw right on the keyboard. Of course all of the hand gestures from this video will become common as well. If you are a graphic designer, architect, gamer, or elementry school student, you will probably be seeing larger touch screens like this sooner.
