This dumb dog gets loose downtown on 5th Ave. and stops morning traffic for well over 15 minutes. Caught it on my iPhone from my apartment. LOL! Instantly after recording this the Benny Hill theme song popped in to my head for obvious reasons. God, I love my iPhone 3GS and iMovie software! Hours of fun…

Thanks to Ryann I’ve been introduced to one of the coolest and creepiest songs/music videos I’ve ever seen. “It Rubs The Lotion On It’s Skin” is a super creative song and remix video of the famous scene from the movie “Silence of the Lambs”. Check it out below…

Not sure what I like more: The silly little song that’s playing in the background of this video or the freaky cat who’s obviously evolved to stand/walk on its hind legs. Creepy all around!!!

Cheap Online File Backup for Mac/PC
Date: March 28th, 2010 Category: Things Tags: mac, online file backup, pc [ View Comments ]
I finally decided to signup for an online file backup service today. After an hour or so of research I signed up for Backblaze. I did of course check out Mozy and Carbonite but found Backblaze had better Mac OSX integration than the others (see info below) and some other nice bells and whistles. They’re all bout $5.00 a month for unlimited storage of your personal files and all fairly easy to setup.
Bottom line: Backblaze had the tightest Mac OSX integration (works great for PC/Windows too). It operates as a daemon and continuously backs up files while others were just “backgrounded applications” which backed up files on a schedule. It also seemed much lighter on system resources as well. Finally, I liked how Backblaze tucks everything neatly away in my Macs System Preferences.
For more info on how it all works, check out their “how it works” page.
2010 U.S. Census Form Includes “Negro” Race?!?
Date: March 26th, 2010 Category: People, Things Tags: 2010 census [ View Comments ]
It’s 2010 and we have a black president in office for the first time in our nations history. How far we’ve come, right? Well, that’s what I thought until I opened my census form (click thumbnail image for larger view) a couple days ago. As I filled it out I finally got down to the “race section” where I chose “white”. But, as I scanned further down the form I saw “Black, African Am., or Negro”. WTF?!?
I mean, come on people. This is ridiculous. Who created/approved this? Oh, and why wasn’t “white” expanded to include things like “honky” or “cracker” etc.? Only fair…
I guess today the census people apologized for it. Check out the video interview with the U.S. Census Director for more info (haven’t watched it yet).
