Everything about this is right… and wrong. It’s also another step in the commercialization and cross-promotion of everything. Who would have thought, years ago, that we’d be presented with a swimsuit issue, featuring a comedian pitching his most recent movie, and we’d eat it up? If it wasn’t Will, I’d hate it, but I love it.
So, not only am I dumb, and a geek (dumb geeks are the worse), I’m a bragging, ‘look-how-funny-i-am’ dumb geek.
So, when our favorite intern ever IM’d me this morning to ask for help on something he was working on, I gave him a little hell, and thought I was pretty funny. So, I’m posting that conversation here for your viewing pleasure… Please forgive the desire for you all to think I’m funny.
Intern: you got any ideas slick?
Jason: for what?
Intern: how for why not my g-maps work
Jason: ?
Intern: (links to development site)
Intern: how for why not JS work rite?
Jason: you ever see Pulp Fiction?
Intern: yes
Jason: if so, i assume you'll recognize my paraphrase
Intern: amirite?
Jason: "when you came in here this morning, did you see Javascript Programmer written above my desk?"
Jason: "DID YOU?"
Intern: hahhahahhaha
Intern: ha
Jason: "NO. NO YOU DIDN'T. BECAUSE WRITING F*CKING JAVASCRIPT AIN'T MY F*CKING BUSINESS"
Intern: haha
This is without a doubt my new, all-time favorite video I’ve ever seen on the internet. I was embarassed to be laughing so hard in my office.
Dear Loving God that was amazing. Please. Stop. Watch this with the volume up.
I always knew there was something wrong with Cowboys fans…
HOLY CRAP THAT WAS AWESOME.
207 people just stopped and, well. see for yourself.
This is wild. I’m almost surprised people didn’t freak out. I love it though and wish I’d been there.
The Unofficial Apple Weblog has a piece about the lack of copying and pasting today, and as such, linked to this brilliant little demo of how it might work to copy and paste on the iPhone (which I really wish was in there). It’s pretty funny, and the end makes watching so worth it. However, it’s also a pretty cool idea on how to pull it off, and I already wish my iPhone had this feature.

Again, the end was worth the minute of watching.
So, I recently got turned on to this video two different ways. One, I heard some people talking about CSS because of the iPod Touch ad (which was originally made by a kid on youtube and then was flown to California to help make an official version). The song is Music is my Hot Hot Sex.
Then, I heard about this awesome videographer/film/puppet designer named Jared Eberhardt who is working alongside us on a project for Burton. (You got to watch some of his shit, it’s amazing). And he had done this CSS video for them. So, since I love the song, and love the video, I give it to you here.
And to take it up another notch, how they got their name is pretty much the coolest ever:
CSS known also by Cansei de Ser Sexy, is a band from São Paulo, Brazil, formed by the end of 2003. The name is Portuguese for “Tired of Being Sexy” (taken from something Beyoncé once commented to the press; “I am tired of being sexy”).
So, some of you may or may not know that I’m working out at a CrossFit gym (CrossFit H.E.L.). There we do pull-ups (kipping pull-ups* more often than dead-hang pull-ups) pretty often. Yesterday I did 45 along with a plethora of other activities as part of our morning workout. Crazy. (keep in mind that I didn’t do them all at once, but that’s still a ton of pull-ups).
Today our gym posted this video on their website. It’s frickin’ crazy. A couple of urban workouts performed on kids playground equipment, doing things I’ve never seen. Well, I’ve never seen it because I’ve never gotten to see video of myself pulling these moves off that is…
* A kipping pull-up is a gymnastic move, description taken from here.
“Short version: Kipping allows more work to be done in less time, thus increasing power output. It is also a full-body coordination movement when performed correctly, which applies more functionally to real-life application of pulling skills. Last, but not least, the hip motion of an effective kip mirrors the motion of the olympic lifts/kettlebell swings, adding to it’s function as a posterior-chain developer.”
My man Courtney sent me this little nugget, and I have to say. “Hells Yeah.”
Obviously, here’s a guy that recognizes ninjas are hot right now. And also that everyone loves a good revenge story. Writing, marketing, knowing your audience… All techniques of the master marketer.
Take Risky Business, Brett from Flight of the Conchords, and a dash of Van Wilder and what do you have? This guy:

I love the last line. And everything he has to say about his sunglasses.
Wow… Wow.
I got turned on to some Japanese Bug Fights this afternoon and I’m both repulsed and amazed. I know, I know. It’s wrong. If these were puppies we’d all be freaking out and the authorities would be called in, but for some reason, bugs are different, and who am I to judge.
There’s a whole site dedicated to this at, you guessed it, japanesebugfights.com. Who turned me on to this masterpiece of horror? I know him only as Pagecrusher, who put it so poetically I had to mention it here:
My discovery of japanesebugfights.com is akin to the prepubescent epiphanic revelation of masturbation. Only with more clawing and poison.
Here’s a link to pagecrusher’s twitter stream, which is the best one I follow. http://twitter.com/pagecrusher
What do you think, is it wrong?
