Killer Mechanic Shop in Eugene

November 14, 2011

Ok, so I’m a bit biased. But, I’m pretty proud of my old man, and he’s one of two mechanics at a really great auto repair shop in Eugene. They didn’t really have much of a website, so I put one together for them over the weekend. It’s small, but it does the job. Their [...]

Some of My Best Work

October 4, 2011

So, if you know me much, you know I fancy myself decent at parallel parking. Today, I feel I accomplished some of my best work to date. If you don’t like bragging, turn away now. ;)
I got this with only the slightest of bumping. Honest. The other cars didn’t even shimmy. And at most 4 [...]

How I use Dropbox

November 22, 2010

So, I for the past few years, I’ve been giving more and more of my digital life over to Dropbox, and it’s changed the way I use computers, and how I think about information, and share content with my wife.
Someone asked me recently how I use it, so I thought I’d write up a short [...]

Slap Chop Rap

May 15, 2009

So, I’ve been watching this for several days now. Maybe over 200 times total. I just start it, let it play in the background, and then go and start it again. I just love this song. You should too.

“Hi, It’s Vince from Slap Chop. You’re going to be in a great mood all day.”
“Watch this, [...]

Drunken History: One of the best video sets of the year

April 30, 2009

When I first stumbled into the Drunken History series, I immediately knew I had found something special and beautiful. Take a bunch of very smart, yet youngish folk, and have them recount specific tales of yore, while under the influence. It’s brilliant.
And I also immediately thought of trying to get my good friend, we’ll call [...]

Crowbar Movie Trailer

April 7, 2009

Speaking of side projects, I’ve always loved movies, and can’t imagine how hard it would be to make one. However, some extended family members are trying to get funding for a new feature-length movie, Crowbar. It actually looks like a pretty decent horror/thriller. And I have to say, my sister’s father-in-law plays a pretty sinister [...]

Star Wars, as told by someone who hasn’t seen it

January 15, 2009

Absolutely one of the coolest/funniest videos I’ve seen in a long time. I love the internet.
Star Wars: Retold (by someone who hasn’t seen it) from Joe Nicolosi on Vimeo.
Backstory: A guy asks a girl to describe Star Wars even though she’s only seen ‘bits and pieces’ of the movies, but still thinks she knows the [...]

I’m a simple man and this cracks me up.

October 29, 2008

So, I have admitted before and I’ll admit again that simple things can just crack me up. The following photo is one of those things. Not high-tech, and not really THAT funny, but the look on Biden’s face is just so awesome in the third pane, that I had to post it.
Enjoy!

Now, the best part of this is that this is a truly hand-crafted, custom piece. No Chinese factory busting these out. And this little guy is not alone either, there are 5 [...]
