I saw this on George’s site and had to post it here. It’s hilarious… and it’s a good reason not to do drugs… at least not whatever he was on at Woodstock (perhaps the brown acid?).

So I decided to jump on the Twitter bandwagon. I’m RunawayJimPVD (because RunawayJim was already taken).
George posted this on his site, but I felt it deserved another mention. It’s too funny to pass up. This is how I feel at work about 78% of the time…

I saw this today on Boing Boing. I thought it was one of the most amazing things I have seen on the internet. It’s the Super Mario Bros. theme song played with liquid filled wine bottles and a remote control car.

A friend of mine (and former student employee) has started a blog called Spin Cookie. He’ll be mostly writing about video games, both old and new. I am specifically interested in his Wii game reviews. It looks to be a good site. He spun the game reviews off his former blog, Boxed Lunch Comics.
I just had to share this. I think I saw it on Boing Boing. It’s a trial of a guy who stole 40,000 hotel coat hangers. During his testimony, he gives the prosecutor the complete run around, making him (the prosecutor) seem like a total idiot. Here’s a brief snippet of the testimony.
Counsel: Are you serious when you say that clients of yours drink from their own minibars in their own bedrooms in their own homes?
Chrysler: Certainly. And just as in a hotel, they grumble about the price and size of the bottles, and the absence of ice.
Counsel: So why don’t they get a proper fridge in their bedroom?
Chrysler : Because then it wouldn’t be like a hotel.
Judge: Tell me, Mr Chrysler, do these businessmen of yours also have Gideon Bibles by their bedside at home?
Chrysler: Many of them, sir.
Judge: And where do you get the Gideon Bibles from?
Chrysler: Alas, they, too, have to be taken from hotels.
Judge: Then why are you not also up on a charge of Bible-stealing?
Chrysler: Because the Bibles do not belong to the hotels. They belong to the Gideon Society. And the Gideon Society has decided not to prosecute me, but to forgive me and tell me to go and sin no more.
Judge: And have you sinned no more?
Chrysler: Alas, no.
Last week, I learned of PC Idol, Providence College’s own rendition of American Idol. One of my student employees, Jenny Mackintosh is performing, and doing quite well if I may say so myself. She’s got an amazing voice and totally kicks ass. So vote for Jenny to continue on. One vote per MAC address is allowed.
Here are Jenny’s videos from Round 1 and Round 2. Vote for Jenny to continue to Round 3.
I just thought that I’d post this for anyone who is in the Providence area and reads my blog. Nikki’s Liquors in North Providence (right on the Providence line in the Shaw’s plaza on Admiral St) is holding a Valentine’s Day tasting tonight featuring Lindeman’s Belgian Lambic beers (Framboise, Cassis, Peche, Pomme, Kriek, and their Gueuze) and fine chocolates.
I’ve had their Framboise, Cassis, and Peche and I love the Framboise and Cassis. The Peche is a little too sweet for my tastes. These aren’t your normal Lambics, which tend to be on the sour or tart side. Lindeman’s beers are a bit sweeter and more wine- or Champagne-like in flavor.
