Teach parents tech?

Dec 13, 2010 | 5 Comments

Have you had to teach your parents how to use a computer? How many hours (or weeks!?) did you spend just getting the basics down with them? I feel for you – honestly. I’ve been there, done that and hope to never repeat the experience again. Go ahead – tell us your best horror story [...]

How to Tick Off a Blonde

Sep 25, 2010 | 2 Comments

I admit it: I’ve been known to tell a blonde joke or two in my day. I’m fairly certain you’d be lying if you said you have never told a joke that bashed on someone’s hair color, religion or sexual preference. We all do it at times. However, as is being pointed out over on [...]

Live Recording Outtakes are the Best

May 28, 2010 | No Comments

Strange things sometimes happen while I am recording videos. Thankfully, people like Kevin are there to record each one of them. This one has a simple explanation behind it: some idiot troll came into our live chat room with the handle fartfacebuttlick. How was I supposed to resist? Seriously?

Are You a Hello Kitty Fan?

Mar 26, 2010 | 5 Comments

Cats and kittens are cute, don’t get me wrong. I just don’t “get” the whole Hello Kitty phenomenon, though. Is it because I’m a man? I understand that Hello Kitty is a wildly popular little cartoon creature. I get that little girls everywhere demand merchandise of every shape and size with the cuddly little darling [...]

bLaugh is a Reader’s Choice

Sep 28, 2006 | One Comment

For some reason or another, choosy users choose bLaugh. At least, that’s what the readers and staff of BusinessWeek Online report. We just received a “Best of the Web” award in the Humor category. I’d still like to see bLaugh pushed out and shared on more Web sites, portals, and print media. Who else won? [...]

Don’t Download This Album

Sep 26, 2006 | 12 Comments

I’m not a professional music critic – and don’t pretend to be. However, I’ve gotta tell you that “Straight Outta Lynwood” [SOL] is one of the best albums that “Weird Al” Yankovic has produced to date. Yes, I’m biased – having been a fan of the band ever since the seventh grade. His originals finally, [...]

White and Nerdy

Sep 20, 2006 | 18 Comments

Yes, the music video has officially been placed on YouTube. I’d say that it’s Yankovic’s geekiest one yet (far better than “It’s All About The Pentiums”). Are you white and nerdy? Watch this:

Dude. I don’t know how this bit of news slipped past my radar: The first single from “Straight Outta Lynwood” will World Premiere on Al’s MySpace page on Monday, August 21 at 6 PM Pacific time (9 PM Eastern)! And because Al’s feeling so darn generous, he’s going to make THIS song a free download [...]
