Well, it has only been a week (which by internet standards is about four years), but this image and the whole Aqua Teen Hunger Force terror ad campaign debacle is too hilarious. It is really a shame that ATHF and other Adult Swim shows don’t have greater viewership, otherwise this whole unfortunate scene could have been avoided. On the other hand, I am glad that our nation’s defenses are strong and alert enough to have put down this “terror cell in our midst” and make sure that it’s perpetrators do hard time. Let this be a warning to improv comics everywhere.
Vanderlin tagged some flickr items of the one LED/IED that was captured and not destroyed.

This is me last year wishing you a Merry Christmas this year! I was totally able to see into the future!!
I didn’t get nearly as many photo projects done this year as I had intended, so I decided to do an end-of-the-year roundup of the random images I captured with my Motorola RAZR cell phone. The camera isn’t that fantastic, but for those times when you don’t have a real camera on you, it can be fun to take some quick snaps. Enjoy!
Have a great holiday! Happy New Year!! Hope to see you all in 2007!!!

Seven of us made it up to Danbury, NC this Sunday for a tubing adventure on the Dan River. It was a definitely lot of fun and extremely relaxing. So nice to sit in some 60 degree water on a warm, sunny day… floating aimlessly downstream, drinking beer, eating fried chicken and cracking jokes. Thanks to everyone who made it out! I can’t wait to see the photos from the two waterproof disposable cameras that made it down the river with us. See ya next time!!
On a completely unrelated note, check out one of the best flickr sets I’ve ever seen. Thanks for sharing your awesome work, IrenaS!

I wish I could call Bill Murray on the phone. I wish I could meet Bill Murray at the local pub and share a few laughs and a few beers. I wish Bill Murray and I were tight like that.
Out of all the people I could dream up to meet and spend some time with, Bill Murray has got to be the one I would select out of that bunch. It is not just because he got to make out with the hottest woman on the planet last year. It is also not just because he has one of the best and most interesting careers in all of Hollywood. And it is not just because he happens to be in most of my favorite films.
No, instead it is simply because I believe he would be a really wonderful person to have for a friend. Mr. Murray seems like a really smart, down-to-Earth and genuinely funny person. He seems like the person I would want to go to for advice or to help me drown my sorrows. He also seems like the kind of guy who could really put things into perspective for you. And that is what I could use a lot more of these days — Bill Murray’s perspective.
After Ghostbuster’s, it looked like his career was taking a downturn while all the other actors of his era were hitting astronomical heights. Dan Akroyd and others chose the route of glitzy, crowd-pleasing Big Hollywood garbage while Bill seemed to be stalled on the on-ramp to greater success. Bill Murray took some time off from “the scene” to make one of my favorite films, the confusing and heart-breaking The Razor’s Edge. No one thought he could smoothly pivot from being the Guffaws Guy to doing “serious acting.”
This was definitely a big risk for his career and the film was not exactly a blockbuster. However, it was one of the first defining moments in the stellar rise of his star status in Glamour Town. He probably had no idea that it would work out so well, but now all those superstar contemporaries can barely get a cameo in the Summer Shlockfest and Bill Murray is now perhaps the most sought after actor of his vintage.
I would really appreciate having access to the wisdom of Bill Murray right now. I have more than a few things I’d like to run by him.

Yay Hooray! I can bask in my (very temporary) moment of fame, for having one of my photographs make an appearance on an ultra-liberal website!!
My new friend Beckie showed up to the April InterNetWorkers event wearing a snazzy suit and an ITMFA American Flag lapel pin. No one had any idea what “ITMFA” stood for, but soon enough we all knew what it meant. (The words are too foul to be repeated on this pious and pristine weblog.)
The other copies available online have been cropped and offer slightly less perspective than this one. Also, I was able to tweak the color and sharpness to look more like the actual moment (instead of a poor digital copy of it). Click the above image for an 800 by 600 copy.
I fully expect to see you wearing one of these pins (or thongs) next time I see you.

Don’t worry everybody! Alva has fully recovered after a few allergic days. All is well in Dog Town.

“Dude, You’re Everywhere!!” This is what Tom Meggs told me a few years ago and to a degree I realized it, but my understanding of the phenomenon dealt with the rather limited scope of the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area. And even then it was pretty much limited to the Open Source and Triangle InterNetWorkers realms.
Now that I have been around long enough to break pretty much every accepted norm on the Internet, it seems that the spider’s web grows vastly more intricate and far-reaching. By far, the most popular things I’ve ever put on the Internet are the stunning Fiona Apple image I put on my weblog (which I stole from somewhere else) and the Puppy Dog Eyes photo of Alva as a beautiful baby dog. From my weblog stats, I can tell that these have been linked an infinite number of times on various fan weblogs, myspace profiles and chatty bulletin boards. What I find most interesting is when images other than these two are passed around.
Probably the coolest thing I’ve seen recently is to have my special moment from a few years ago (dubbed “redneck chic“) chronicled along with other powerful images of Southern heritage. It is a myspace profile called earnhardt4life and it makes me proud to be an American. Well, that and the fact that I made the exclusive WRAL.com Triangle Area Web Logs list. Woot! Take that boing boing!!
There are other stories, but its late and I’m tired. Peace out, little yos!
