Just wanted to share with you the awesomeness of this video. The duo is called Rodrigo Y Gabriela and they are from Mexico.

Keven Sahr is a computer science teacher at Southern Oregon University.
Here are some facts about Kevin:
Kevin Sahr doesn’t need to type “su root”, he is root.
Kevin Sahr never gets “403 - permission denied”
Kevin Sahr can kill a man by whispering “System dot exit zero” in his ear.
When Kevin Sahr’s code generates a compile error, its the compiler’s fault, not Kevin’s.
Keven Sahr never touches his keyboard. Instead the keys back away from his fingers in fear.
When a computer crashes somewhere, its because Kevin Sahr is angry.
Kevin Sahr doesn’t run programs. He can walk them at a leisurely pace.
Kevin Sahr’s password works for everything.
Kevin Sahr programmed Windows in 2 days. He traded it to Bill Gates for some beer in College.
This is the closest representation of what the world looks like to Kevin Sahr:
As if we didn’t have enough reasons to make fun of the French, they have to come out with this:
To prepare for the Olympic Torch protesters, the French government has outfitted their cops with Rollerblades in order to… make them look tough.
Bad boys bad boys.
Oooh, aren’t they intimidating?
Wouldn’t want to mess with those… they even have brakes.
Sick moves.
The head of the division says that the Rollerblades “Aid in chasing down criminals on foot.”
I’m so glad I don’t live in France. But I wouldn’t mind protesting there.
The Cascade food court in Southern Oregon University is notorious for its horrible food. So far I’ve found that it lives up to expectations. Today I made a healthy choice and chose grapes as part of my complete breakfast. This is what I found:
Now let me describe. Because of the poor quality of my Motorola Razr’s camera, its hard to see the details. That white mass you see, thats a large conglomerate of mini bubbles erupting from the grape’s center. I could see a few of them rise and pop as I poked the grape with my finger. The flesh around the eruption is curled back and black. Very sickly looking.
Now, many of you must be thinking that its just a rotting grape and I’m being a puss. Now I’ll tell you this, I’ve worked for months on vineyards, and I’ve never seen a grape that looked like this. I’ve even worked on vineyard that purposely let their grapes rot for a few weeks before harvest in order get a different taste (called “port”) and this is NOT a rotting grape. This is something sinister and foreign. Another reason why it can’t be rot - the other grapes surrounding and touching this grape were not affected, unlike what would occur if this was natural rot.
So if its not rot, what is it? Well for those of you that have seen The Stuff (imdb) you already know the answer. For those of you that haven’t, the movie starts off with an industrial night guard patrolling an oil refinery in Alaksa, who comes across some white bubbling substance coming form the ground. He gets the urge to eat it and, lo and behold, it tastes good. Soon enough “The Stuff” is in every American’s refrigerator. But… are they eating the stuff or is the stuff eating them? Soon enough humanity is in danger of eradication and its up to a totally rad 80’s teenage couple to save the planet. Did their dayglo clothes and mullets save the day? Rent the move and find out.
Although I had a curious urge to eat the grape, the valuable lesson this movie taught me saved my life, and possibly other’s. Maybe even yours. So if you come across this strange substance anywhere, don’t eat it. The stuff will consume you.
G4, the television network for gamers, really sucks. Unlike other networks such as Oxygen and Fox that suck because they always have and always will be horrible TV networks, G4 is an even worse kind of suck. G4 is the worst because of what is was, what is is, and what it could be.
In a not so distant past, G4 was known as Tech TV and it had good programming and personalities. I used to watch shows like The Screen Savers and Call For Help every day. People like Leo Laporte and Martin Sargent made these shows interesting and entertaining to watch. But then, for some reason, something changed. The good shows were replaced by horribly amateurish, graphically overloaded, juvenile talk shows that focused more on the hostess’s breasts than actual content. Everything became about video games and stupid internet videos. Most of the old talent moved to other internet networks like Revision3 and Twit.tv where they still create good shows to this day.
By far, the worst part about G4 is the countless hours of shitty syndicated Japanese game shows the network uses to fill airtime because they have nothing else to play. Now, asking G4 to replace shows like Ninja Warrior and Unbeatable Banzuke with good programming is out of the question, because we know they can’t. However, we could ask them if they are going to be playing these shows, to at least get a little creative with them. Make them hold attention for more than 3 minutes. The perfect solution:
Imagine a show that builds on both Japanese game shows and Celebrity Death Match’s success. Celebrities take place of the regular people in these ridiculous challenges and you have yourself a winning formula. Leo Laporte would rock on the bucking bull, and Paris Hilton would be a blast to watch trying to make it up the impossible wall. And there would never be enough time for Matt Damon.
I guarantee that G4’s ratings would skyrocket, and it would replenish some hope in the network that so many of us have lost. Now the only obstacle is to get celebrities to want to participate, but that shouldn’t be too hard. Who wouldn’t want to compete in a challenge where you run away from boulders and get fire extinguishers sprayed in your face? I know I would.
