Last Thursday was Ground Hog Day. This year the hog saw his shadow, 6 more weeks of winter. I caught the last 20 mins of the movie Ground Hogs Day with Bill Murray the other night. It is easily one of the many all time favorites of mine. I quote the hell out of this movie. I have seen it more times than I care to admit. The above video is 19 minutes of the best lines from the movie. Although I think a couple are missing.
Yesterday was the great “black out” of many of your favorite internet sites. Sites like Reddit and Wikipedia both blacked out their site for most of the day. When I first heard the idea for an internet black out I was sure it would fail. Not enough people (every day internet users) would be effected by a handful of sites not working. I really thought the only way to make a big impact would be if sites like google and amazon didnt loading and just threw a 404 error for a day. This would wake people up as to how much they rely and count on the internets. In the end what I didn’t foresee was the mass media coverage. It was everywhere yesterday, with many of the news/blogs following up today. Glad to see this issue getting some main stream media play. Hopefully this will bury this shit for good. Though I am sure in some dark room somewhere in a bunker the powers that be are working on the next rediculous idea to stop the internet from being the internet. Best of luck assholes.
Love him or hate him you just have to laugh. I realize I am talking to my more liberal minded friends. If you are a Republican it is a given you hate this guy.
Ever time I turn around Morgan Spurlock is taking some idea I had 10 years ago and making a movie and or TV show about it. Let me tell you right now it kinda pisses me off. It also makes me think that maybe I need to meet and spend time with this fella. Maybe we could make gold together?
However I am thinking it would likely go something like:
Jim: I have this great idea for a movie for about Space Hotdogs, the people that make them and the storied lives they live.
First off let me say this is one of the scarier things I have seen a robot do to a human. Other than killing them of course. As scared as I am watching this, I think I want one.
