Fire alarm in the office

It’s pouring rain out and has been for the last 2 days. The fire alarm went off about an hour and a half ago. We all went out for 20 minutes, got soaked, and then they told us we could go back in, but the alarm “wouldn’t reset for 15 more minutes.” It went on for another 55 minutes. Jon made a video of office antics so you can get a taste of what it was like. I’m the one with tissue in my ears. It worked.

Solve a Rubik’s cube in 20 moves

I’m posting this link about all Rubik’s cubes positions being solvable in 20 moves as a bald excuse to repost this video of Will Smith solving the Rubik’s cube in 55 seconds. I’m just being honest because long-readers would have known that about me anyway.

“No, wait, there’s an invisible monkey.”

PETA asked Dodge to take the chimp out of their Tent Event commercial, so they took the chimp out of their Tent Event commercial. If this was a viral ploy to get me to share their ad, I appreciate it even more. This is how you win, folks.

Big Baby Davis Rap Video

If you thought I wouldn’t post a video Big Baby Davis made of himself dancing to a rap song, you don’t know me at all. AT ALL.

Thanks, Jake!

Flood on Lake St, Somerville

I live on Lake St and every couple years you find out why. We were away this weekend when our entire neighborhood flooded, stranding cars and trains. Here’s an awesome video by Paper Fortress Films showing the situation Saturday afternoon.

A couple years ago, I made this much less awesome video to show a flood.

Yoda Records GPS Instructions

TomTom is releasing a Star Wars themed voice pack for it’s GPS units. This is the viral ad they released to celebrate. It worked for me.

Here’s Darth Vader:

Thanks, Derek.

Kenny G on the Vuvuzela

Kenny G on the Vuvuzela. I wonder how Pat Matheny feels about this video.

“Lame-ass, jive, pseudo bluesy, out-of-tune, noodling, wimped out, fucked up playing.”

Adidas’ World Cup Commercial

Out of the World Cup commercials for the big 3 sneaker companies, this is the most original, and certainly the only one featuring Snoop Dog with a light saber. I like.

Puma’s World Cup Commercial

Puma made a 2010 World Cup commercial, too. Just as fun.

Humpty Dance is 20 Years Old

And you all just said, “Damn, I’m old.” There’s surprisingly little around the internet celebrating this anniversary, which is weird because Digital Underground released a new EP a couple weeks ago. Doesn’t anyone care?!
