Too many bookmarked links

So, I need to delete them.  Here’s some of what I’ve bookmarked lately:

This guy is an awesome accordion player.  Here he is rocking out to Vivaldi:

From the same user I found this awesome performance piece by a four year old.  I guess it’s really only awesome because of his age, but the movie it comes from, Miracle, is awesome too.  At any rate, it cracks me up.

Speaking of movies, here is a one minute version of 28 Days Later.  This is probably only amusing if you’ve actually seen the movie, which I recommend.  While not truly a zombie movie, it is still quite entertaining.  The sequel… not so much.

Seinfeld alternate ending

I’ve been a Seinfeld fan for… well, pretty much since the show was originally on air. I then became a Curb Your Enthusiasm fan after about 4 or 5 seasons of that show (I didn’t have HBO, otherwise I’m sure it would have been sooner).

I first read that Curb would feature a reunited Seinfeld cast several weeks ago. As in, Larry David (on Curb) decides to bring the show back (or something along those lines). I didn’t expect to see Wayne Knight, aka, NEWMAN!, but that’s an awesome bonus. I wonder how many other characters will make an appearance. Anyway, here is a video about the episodes in question, and the most satisfying statement might come near the end when Jerry says the show will essentially have a new ending. How cool is that given the infamous finale of the show?

I’ll say this too, when I first heard about the idea of bringing the cast back within Curb, I thought it would be funny if they brought the show (Seinfeld) back, and that it received horrible reactions; like it fails to garner any ratings, everyone hates it, etc.  In other words, it flops.  Then people talk about how awesome the finale was in comparison.  I figured it would be something along those lines.  We’ll see.

Server stuff

Mostly, I am posting this for future reference.

This first is for an awesome server rig setup.  I want one.

This one focuses on how to run the server with Ubuntu.

Loverboy owns?

Who knew?

A few days back I watched a pretty crappy movie called Crank.  One of the few things worth note was the use of an awesome bass line.  I didn’t know what the song was, but eventually found out it was the opening bass sequence for Loverboy’s “Turn Me Loose.”  I’ve subsequently listened to the song about 12 times.  I like it more with each listen, and have incorporated a couple of other Loverboy songs into my main playlist.  Anyway, here is the video:

This guy is amazing

It’s kind of a shame that the Olympics requires the gymnastic teams to compete on each apparatus, because it would be cool to see people who specialize in different events.  I don’t know how this guy would stand up against Olympians, but he’s still amazing.

Some of the language may be NSFW (I’m not sure as I was listening  to music while I watched the video).  The music is kind of lame anyway, so you could just watch it without sound.

Poor kid can’t make up his mind

I can’t say that I blame the boy. Lobsters are pretty scary looking, especially when they are much closer to being your size.

Dr. Michio Kaku on multiverses

2009 August 23
by Lister

First of all, I love Dr. Kaku.  I could listen to him for hours.  Secondly, it’s amazing how readily his statement about multiverses, multi-genesis, and even the notion of a priesthood adherent to natural law fits so well with LDS doctrine.

Various vids

I think I found this strange video on Digg:

This video was found on the St. Louis Post Dispatch site:”

As was this classic:

Buckethead knows the score

The score from Star Wars.  Get it?  Yuck yuck.

Since that was short, here he is playing his track, “Big Sur Moon”:

Finally, here is a full track (no video really) of possibly my favorite Buckethead song, “I Love My Parents.”

Lots of links

Don’t like doing this, but I have a bunch of links that piled up.

It’sHidden – A FREE proxy service that actually works with decent speeds.

DaveProxy – Speaking of proxies, here is one designed to allow non-UKers to access UK-restricted content.  Unfortunately, the bandwidth for BBC video was massive, and that would have been my primary reason for using the site.  Still, cool idea.

DIY DTV Antenna – I have kind of started this project.  I need some hardware, but apparently the results are quite good.

Disable NCQ – This might come in handy for that pesky Samsung drive/nVidia chipset problem.

12 Common Photoshop Mistakes – I particularly appreciate the true black settings.

Finally, a video.  I wish I had a good copy of the whole show.  It’s the 2008 Edinburgh Military Tattoo which assembles some impressive drum corps, bands, etc., many of which are sporting some kilts.  If you don’t respect the awesomeness of kilts, your judgments can’t be trusted.
