Good morning, good afternoon and good Friday to you! May the beers flow, the music resound and the men and women fall at your feet! It's 9:40 am and I'm just getting into my first cup of coffee. Work has been especially brutal this week. One of the only hard drives with critical data in my entire organization that was not being backed up failed terminally last friday and was sent to a data recovery center. They orignally quoted 31 hours. It's been a week now. As of this writing one of our production DB servers has decided to take a crap. And we're buiding out a clustered Drupal CMS system for our coporate website in the EC2 cloud, that my boss won't let me touch. YAY! Other than that I'm good. I recently finished writing a screenplay. Sort of. It's a first draft. I'm going over it with my family now, to see how they recieve it. If they give me the green light I might try shopping it around. We'll see. Either way I've got a few goodies for you today. Being back on the interwebz lately has gotten me back into digging up some pretty great stuff. So let's get to it!

The Phillip Defranco Show - A daily show updated on his own youtube channel : He's actually pretty good. With his constant cutting and pasting the scene's together it's almost like he's catering to the OCD crowd, but it's still quite entertaining as far as I'm concerned. Either way he gets close to a 1/4 million hits a day, so that's gotta be worth something.

Guy with coffee meets glass door - At least my day didn't start off like this : Poor guy. He looks like he's very confused.....

30 Websites to download free e-books - Pretty cool collection : I actually used my friends kindle a while back and liked it. It was almost like reading an actual book. Sometimes looking at bright LCD/LED screens gets tiring on the eyes. Especially since I do that all day.

This too shall pass - From the OK go team : This one's a gigantic Rube Goldberg machine. I've always wanted to put one of these things together. It's awesome they have such space. Reminds me of my brothers place on 11th street in SF.

How to read scratched CD/DVD's - Just what it says : Ever had a CD or DVD that was indispensible but you couldn't get it to work anymore? This should help out!

Helicopter pilot shot between the eyes - Manages to regain control of the helicopter: And fly back to base, landing and saving all 20 people on board. What are the chances. He friggin lives to tell about it. This guy is now officially a bad ass. When his kids get out of line he can yell, "Look you little bastards! I landed a chopper after getting shot in between the eyes! You didn't hear me complaining. Now do the goddamn dishes!"

Sarah Palin shopping around - Her reality show? : AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! Kill it with FIRE!!!!! You've gotta be kidding me. This woman needs to go dig a hole and crawl into it. Why on earth hasn't she just gracefully stepped out of the limelight? Oh yeah.... SHE'S NUTS.

Zip List - Easy online management of your shopping list : You can manage it from your phone, your computer or pretty much anywhere. It automatically otrganizes it by category, and makes your shopping experience much more streamlined. I don't knowe about you, but this is pretty handy for me.

Use my pisser for St Patty's Day Parade - Only $25! : I guess in this day and age you've gotta make it where you can eh? Pretty clever pricing scheme there too. Me thinks if I were 20 years old I might do this too......

It's the year of the earthquake - A 6.5 hit Sumatra Coast this morning : This is the fourth recorded quake over 6.4 this year. what was the first you ask? Right before the quake hit Haiti, there was a 6.5 off the coast of Humboldt in January. Anyone who feeds into this 2012 frenzy don't go see the movie. This is very reminicient of what happens in the movie. You might never sleep again! Muhahahahahaha!

The Daily Show does chat roulette - It's being satirized now : It's officially jumped the shark. Although he does have an interesting point. I wonder how many dicks people have been exposed to on that thing?
