okay, don’t laugh at me.

I don’t know if any of you guys have heard this girl’s stuff, but I have become kind of obsessed. Her name is Lady Gaga and she is 22! (A baby!) Anyways, I saw this video on stylsightings a few days ago and clicked on if for a whim, and now I’m hooked. This song is kind of dance-y and fun (so joel will like it), but she’s a great solo, powerful girl singer (which Katie will like) and plus she’s ADORABLE (so Emma will definitely like her). So I thought I would post her here and see what you all think.

This is what democracy looks like…

I’ve got two things…

The first is this series of photos I found on reddit that is so goddamn cool that I want you all to see it. click on this.

The second thing is an iReport from our Los Angeles Bureau Chief, Bill! Rude.

Stack ‘em, Stacker!

Moving to New York (and other crap)

Woah hey, SO! I just bought a one-way plane ticket to New York, leaving October 8th. I’ve got a sublet all setup out there and enough money saved up to not have a job for awhile, should push come to shove. I’m getting more and more contacts out there so I think that things will even out. Also, it will be much easier to find a job if I’m actually in the city and when people “could you come in to talk?” I won’t have to say “Oh, actually I’m in Minneapolis right now.” Soo… that’s happening. Finally.

Also, I just False 3D in Flash: Displacement Maps">posted this over at my lab.blog mostly because it was more work-related than anything. Plus, does anyone here really care about displacement maps in ActionScript 3? I won’t be offended if you say no!

BUT, something you should care about (and have probably noticed) is that Shambot’s got some new polish! Centered, cool-gray background, flash header. Yes, my friends, this is e-paradise with a touch of class. I will be posting something more in depth about the header and how it came about.

Also, I played Call of Duty 4 with Tim on Xbox Live last night! Fun city! It’s always more fun to play with people you know. There was lots of “Go on without me!” and “Damn it I won’t leave you!” Good times all around.

Here’s a video of the last year of my life compressed into three minutes and ten seconds.

If you don’t understand Twitter

then you should watch this video. Actually, even if you think you do understand Twitter this is very informative.

A great roadtrip companion.

Vidoes!!!1

AKA, videos. I bought a digital camera (finally)! It’s an Olympus and Ben helped me pick it out. It’s a pretty nice camera. I needed video capabilities, obviously, so I can document fun things…

Lettuce Eats Burger

I was on Serious Eats today (an awesome food blog that always makes me hungry), and they posted this video:

 

 

It makes me want a Baconator…

 

Also, right now, I’m digitizing Lucha Libré fights. Mexican pro wrestling is weird, but not all that different than american pro wrestling.
