Dogs Barking Star Wars VW Commercial

This is awesome. If you are a Star Wars nut, then it's EPIC AWESOME! Something like that. 😉

I love the AT-AT at the end.

Thanks +Jamie Simmerman for the share!

This mundane post is about my lunch

Ate lunch at a Subway Sandwich Shop inside a Wal-Mart. Ordered a meatball pizza. When they asked if I wanted Parmesan, I said shake the container until they could feel the carpal tunnel, and then go one minute more. I need to be more clear. I threw on the green peppers because I told the guy it needed color because it wasn't aesthetically pleasing enough. I am fairly certain he did not know what I was talking about, but he did throw a couple on top. Rounded it out with a Cherry Icee which took the color palette over the top; that stuff is unnaturally red. And, as +Keith Cramer pointed out on the cup, it's "The Coldest Drink in Town". Corrupt government aside, I love America.

Late post for MLK Day — Ofay And Oxford Grey by Louis Jordan

Learned something new this MLK Day. "Ofay" and "Oxford Grey" were terms I did not know. I listened to a radio program on the local NPR station and got to hear this oldie but goody. Hope you enjoy! Sorry so late… had a little trouble remembering the title which made it hard to locate. 😉

Muffin Man by Frank Zappa

The latest +Top 10.5 list got me thinking of Frank Zappa. When I think of Frank Zappa, I think of Muffin Man. Now I'm hungry.

If you've never heard Muffin Man before, you have to keep listening until about 1:25 because that's where the real muffin meat is. 😉

+Jake Marquart Seems like this would be on your iPod.

Paintings that expand upon the scenes from postage stamps

Super creative idea! I would love to see the same kind of thing done with people's snapshots; i.e., filling in the imagined world outside of the original picture. Fun fun!

Thanks +Chris Cho for the post!

Create any size wall posters from any size images

I used this site a couple times today to create some promo material for a trade show. There are other sites and software, I'm sure, but this is darn quick and easy. Follow it up with a good color printer and some heavy stock paper, plus some time to trim and tape everything together (x2 if you're anal like me) and voila. Cheap and good artwork.

Great for cheap dorm art too… especially if you have access to the print labs 😉 Even if you don't, Kinko's or some other print store still won't cost you too much to cover your entire wall (or ceiling if you're industrious) in coolness.

[EDIT] Also take a look at http://fasterposter.com/ — Blockposters limits your uploaded image to 1mb and Fasterposter says it will take a 7.5meg image. I have not tried it as of this writing.

Answer Key for the New Year's Mosaic Challenge

If you have not seen the original and want to take a look and search for the image challenges, go here before reading the answers:
https://plus.google.com/u/0/105986763264590753118/posts/V13cbpE5LzA

Okay, it's half way through January, so here are the locations of the hidden Doctor Who and Star Wars challenge images, and the extras that I added to round out (square out?) the mosaic. The mosaic consists of 3025 tiles representing all the people in my circles and all the people that had me circled as of 12/30/2011.

If you like a visual more than "Row, Column" format, I included an image key overlaid on the original mosaic. All the Doctor Who images are highlighted in blue, all the Star Wars images are highlighted in red, and my extra images are highlighted in yellow.

Scooby Scooby Do Bad Things

Scooby Doo and True Blood together would be EPIC.

On a tangent, if Scooby Doo characters WERE True Blood characters, who would they be? Scooby as Sam, Shaggy as Jason, Fred as Hoyt, Daphne as Jessica, and Velma… as… Lafayette! hehe

I need to do Walking Dead next. 😉

Please share this if you enjoy it 🙂

15) The only current events you're aware of are those posted in your stream.
14) You monitor your circle numbers closer than your bank account.
13) You get thrown out of supermarkets for taking pictures of their bulk bacon bin.
12) You try to click on the non-existent black bar at the top of other websites in the hope that the screen scrolls to the top.
11) You have more circles with different combinations of friends than you have actual friends.
10) You only shower and get dressed on hangout days
9) You lose your Farmville Farm to foreclosure.
8) You put the '+' sign before people's names in emails and texts.
7) You email yourself ideas for posts when you are out and about so that you don't forget to post about it on G+.
6) You get excited just thinking about getting 'plusfucked'.
5) People outside of G+ think you have died, gone to jail or have been placed in the Witness Protection Program.
4) When something really funny happens, you rush to post it on G+ but you forget to tell your spouse until much later.
3) You have circled 100 people and 20 musicians who are wildly famous here and completely unknown elsewhere..
2) +Robert Scoble asks you to stop 'clogging his stream'…

Pandas. I give up. I give in

[Edit: this gets weird… so it's okay if you move along to something more serious. Like dancing cat videos. Or witty sayings printed in cool fonts. I understand. Really, I do. The Panda forgives.]

Seriously, you ever have a recurring theme keep turning up everywhere you go? Pandas. I don't get it. Recently hijacked (sorry about that if you are reading) someone's comment thread on Pandas along with +Emilio Boronali. Emilio told me, "Let's face it: Pandas rule the world!" and he suggested the creation of the "First Church of the Sacred Almighty Panda" for which I could be the Great Priest. He humbly applied to be the treasurer (I think there was also some mention of 30% for his personal religious expenses).

So, what the heck… and it's Friday the 13th… I hereby call into existence the First Church of the Sacred Almighty Panda. (#AlmightyPanda) To inaugurate this most auspicious occasion, I present to you the coin of the realm… err church… err, realm I guess, but "First Realm" didn't sound as cool as "First Church". See how these decisions are made?

All followers welcome. Hey, we'll even take dissenters; sometimes they're more fun. Virtual torches and pick-axes only, please. Apply for your position now. Great Priest is a little too L.Ron for me, so, umm… I hereby dub myself, with the powers I grant myself, First Panda. ;) +Emilio Boronali Treasurer? Hm. How about Bishop Treasurer. What's a title without a little flare? To steal a line from Cerebus, "He doesn't love you, he just wants all your money." With his picture. ;)

What do we call our new coin? Need suggestions! Good ones get a cabinet appointment.

Suggestions for cabinet positions get… a cabinet appointment. Or a cookie.

If you've read this far you're one of us. Or really really bored. Or one of us.

O! O! we need a song of the realm. Truly. And a code of arms… and… and…….
