Machinima

— Update — This one is even funnier. From Wow. Lethal Weapon spoof. Thanks to my friend Dan for this gem. This is actually the third “machinima” I have watched after reading about the phenomenon in Wired.I watched this one made to explain the French riots from the point of Read more…

Surreal Bed Conversations

I just need to share some of the surreal conversations Brian and I have had in bed: Conversation 1 (many years ago, early morning): Ann: “Brian, are you awake?” Brian: “It’s okay, I’ve transferred the data from the database.” Ann: “???” (apparently I didn’t get the joke) Conversation 2 (in Read more…

Pub Quiz -S02E02

Since I download a lot of TV episodes, I figured I would start naming our pub quiz visits the same way. S02E02 means “season two, episode two.” Try to keep up, I won’t repeat the instructions. In a nutshell: we had a great time. Ian didn’t get too drunk and Read more…

Christmas Photos

GreaseMonkey

Oh man, greasemonkey is so damn COOL! Credit to Ian and Wired for informing me about this cool little utility. It took me months to actually install it, but I added user scripts to do things like compare prices on Amazon with Froogle, remove ads from ESPN, and (my favorite) Read more…

Fantasy Football – Week 12

Disappointing. I picked two receivers who, together, only gave me seven points. Even a heroic effort by Ladanian Tomlinson, who accounted for just under half of my whole team’s points, wasn’t enough. Congrats to Guze for picking another team that racked up over 100 points, and as I write this Read more…

Schwarzenegger Street

This is political flash animation at its best. The only thing that could every top it is the Jib Jab movie with McGreevey popping out all over the place going “I’m GAY! I’m GAY!”

Ann on Amazon

This page has been up a while, and I have been remiss in not blogging about it. Congratulations to Ann on becoming the second member of the Bishop family to publish a book. Way to go baby. I’m proud of you.
