The great Bob Ross

13 06 2007

I was browsing Youtube and noticed some great Bob Ross videos. For those of you who don’t know, Bob Ross hosted the pbs show “The Joy of Painting” for quite some time.

A great Bob Ross tribute video

A parody. The best part is when he’s talking about receiving viewer mail.

Family Guy, the audio is out of sync





Replica I SE

5 06 2007

I received my Replica I SE yesterday. It’s real sweet. For those of you who don’t know, the Replica I is a replica of the Apple I (Apple’s first computer). I have not assembled the kit yet so I might do a short video segment on it for VTTV. Maybe.

I also am trying to port an old text-based game to the Replica I. It’s called Adventure or Colossal Caves. It’s a great game. You can find out more about it here.

Also check out the coverage of the midterm elections by “Have I Got News for You”. I know it’s old but it’s still hilarious.





The Democratic Debates and what not

4 06 2007

I’m watching the democratic national debates. I hate democrats but the debates are fun to watch nonetheless. Hilary Clinton sounds a whole lot like a man. It’s even funnier to hear her talk about ‘don’t ask don’t tell’ and gay rights with a real butch voice. Wolf Blitzer is a real idiot. He keeps asking questions like “By a show of hands…” Where did he get his degree in journalism. You don’t hold debates by a show of hands. Wolf also seems to be allergic to applause. He keeps yelling at the audience for clapping. John Edwards and Barack Obama went toe to toe. It was ballsy. Mike Gravel is crazy. He is sooooo populist. He wants to legalize just about everything but murder (watch out though, I think it’s on his radar screen). Bill Richardson makes to many references to when he was Governor of New Mexico. Clinton is talking again. For a second I thought it was Obama, but then I looked up. I do like Obama’s stance on immigration. It’s very moderate. If I voted democrat, I would vote Obama. He seems sensible. Gravel just said we should stop driving cars. He could have his own sitcom. He also says that we should legalize all drugs (pot, meth, heroin, etc…). Richardson just made another reference to New Mexico. He could start a new game “six degrees of New Mexico with Bill Richardson”.
