While Cathy and I were going through our 48 hour marathon of West Wings (during my recuperation) she mentioned that there were only so many shows you could watch in this way. All day. Here are mine in no particular order.

• The West Wing
• LOST
• Red Dwarf
• Mr. Bean
• Young Ones
• Monty Python’s Flying Circus
• Blackadder
• Sports Night
• Doctor Who
• Mystery Science Theater 3000
• The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

Overheard during the Nathan’s Famous International July 4th Hot Dog Eating Contest.

“You Google ‘Hero’ tomorrow, ‘American hero,’ you’re gonna get Abe Lincoln, possibly Neil Armstrong, Taylor Hicks, and then this man, of course, Joey Chestnut*.

Yeah, those are MY American heroes. Oh, and William Katt

and then a little later this lovely “chestnut” as well (heh)…

“This would be the greatest moment in the history of American sports if Chestnut could bring the belt home to Coney Island, it’s been gone for nine years.”

and I think I’ll sleep a little better tonight knowing our country is a little better off …

“Unbelievable valor from that man Joey Chestnut. He may indeed have changed the course of this nation. Righted the course of our nation. Chestnut is a true American hero”

I still think William Katt could kick his ass. If he could ever figure out how to fly in a straight line.

Oh, and Happy Fourth of July!

* Joey Chestnut is a Civil Engineering major from San Jose State University. So let’s hear it for the local boy. Woo hoo!!

PS - Thanx WIFE for stealing my thunder. 

If you’ve ever watched CSI: Miami, you ought to enjoy this. Especially after my previous post.

1. The opening kickoff returned for a touchdown. GO BEARS!!!!
2. David Letterman and Oprah Winfrey in love
3. Back-to-back fumbles. I love an exciting game.
4. Thinking that your team was going to win but being happy for the opposing team’s quarterback who FINALLY won a Super Bowl.
5. The Garmin ad with GarminMan.
6. Hating Comcast because they suck. (signal quality my ass)

And are Cathy and I the only ones who thought this years commercials SUCKED ASS!!??!??!??? WTF!? If I were the CEO who approved a commercial in this year’s Super Bowl for what ever exorbitant amount of extortion money they charged, and realized they competed against that WEAK ASS collection of commercials, I’d resign.

They SUCKED this year. And NO I’m not lashing out because the team I was rooting for lost. Really!!! Can the best non-game moment be David Letterman and Oprah Winfrey lovin’ in front of the TV??? This is the Super Bowl!!!! People are supposed to step up with the commercials!!!

We’re supposed to not be able to work on monday because we can’t stop talking about the commercials. The game is supposed to play second fiddle to the commercials. This year, I think even PRINCE played better than the teams and the commercials.

At least Brett is coming back!!!!!

Tonight I was stuck at work trying to get my capistrano deployments working and I was listening to game 5 of the World Series. I couldn’t watch it and the Cards were quickly moving towards winning the game and The Series. However, with no TV nearby I couldn’t watch it. And everyone knows (you know. you really do) that you can’t just listen to the game when it finally ends and the winner is announced. What was I to do?

I realized that at some point in the past I’d downloaded this lovely piece of software called TVUplayer. It’s TV over the web but not like you’re used to hearing about it. They’re clever about how you receive the data. Kind of like how BitTorrent is a large mesh of users sharing data so that the speed can be very high, same here. Many users are watching the channel I want to watch so the datarate is better. Less users, the crappier the channel will look. Lifehacker may have described a little better than me.

Long story short. I got to WATCH the end of the game… sitting at my desk at work!!!

Isn’t technology wonderful? heh. Oh… and BTW - CONGRATULATIONS St. Louis!!!

Just found this awesome video site. Flash required. It’s fullscreen (press “f” to toggle) and has several different categories of videos. Hover your mouse at the bottom of the screen to see the tabbed list of videos. Some great ones. The picture below is a computer representation of Claire de Lune by Debussy. Cool stuff.

Other ones I liked

• Måns Swanberg: Ge-996
• Crash Ballet
• Laptop Drop
• Ernest Cline: Dance, Monkeys, Dance
• Readymade FC: Only One

HAH! You’ll need a recent version of Flash to view this. FYI.
