Same Team FAIL - FAIL Blog
I think with all the kids soccer games I've seen in the last few years, I'd remember something like this... Ouch.
Programmer’s life (cartoon)
It seems as a software engineer/programmer/developer/computer geek, I'm perpetually bouncing between #9 and #10 these days...
Infographic of the Day: Inception Contest Winner!
How did he ever manage to compress all the mind bending dream logic of Inception into a single infographic? Read the article to find out. :)

Lego Spinal Tap - Nigel's Guitar Room
Love "This is Spinal Tap" - but this shows someone truly obsessed with duplicating it in the Legoverse... This clip definitely goes to eleven. :)
Red Eye - Awesome illustrated international flight
I've only been on one of these long flights across the Atlantic and this pretty much summed up my trip as well...

Interactive zombie movie adventure - DELIVER ME TO HELL - REAL ZOMBIES ATTACK
This is the most entertaining online commercial for a pizza place I've ever seen... Hilarious and well worth the watch on a FRIDAY!! :) Too bad NZ is a bit out of reach as far as delivery to Colorado goes!
Brrrraaaaaiiiiinnnnssss….Sauteed Please - So Much Pun - Funny Jokes in Photos
Yum. Brain stem stew and pituitary pie for desert... :)
Cutting To The Heart Of It
Hmmm... Is it too spoon for a sporking joke?
xkcd: Period Speech
Sad but true... Language changes quickly and slowly depending on how you look at it - but you can't beat the perspective of a few hundred years. Even Shakespeare would laugh today at how we've abused his mighty words! :)
Only One? How Low Is My Constitution?
This made me laugh this morning... Brings up fond memories of gaming into the wee hours many times in the last 28 years I've been gaming. :)
The Joy of Tech comic proves Apple *IS* Evil
iPhone bumpers... Ever wonder how they're made? [insert evil Steve Jobs laughter here]
No more vacation: How technology is stealing our lives - Internet Culture - Salon.com
Great article on why disconnecting might just be the best thing to reduce our stress levels...
Darth Vader Actor David Prowse Gets Cut Off By ‘Star Wars’ Creator George Lucas
Why George? Why? This just seems ludicrous. How can you cut Prowse out of the Star Wars fan love after 30+ years of supporting that community?
Custard Productions | Lego Street Shootout | Geekosystem
I knew Legos were violent... but come on! This guy kicks some serious Lego butt!
Twitter Fail Whale Cthulhu Style
This explains far too well why Twitter goes down from time to time... Cthulhu is in charge of the whole dang thing!!
The Last Airbender May Be The Last Shyamalan
This review by the writer of Schlock Mercenary, the web comic, comes as close to how I view this movie as anything. Was The Last Airbender bad? In parts. Was it really bad? In parts. But overall it was just "meh" as a friend of mine would say. If you like the story, watch the cartoon again from the beginning - that's all I'm sayin'...

John Cleese rants - Soccer vs Football
Does Cleese have a point? Sure does! Will it matter to those of us who were brought up by football meaning something other than soccer in the US? Eh. Probably not...

iPhone 4 vs .50 Cal Sniper Rifle
Um. You can assume that the .50 Cal bullet tore more than a tiny hole in this phone. As someone else commented... I wonder if it will improve the antenna problem? :)

Doctor Who: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Daleks (The Peter Jones-y Edit)
Wow. I'm not a big Dr. Who fan, but am a huge fan of the original British TV series based on Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. This is one of the funniest mash-ups I've seen in ages.
Rimrock Auto Arena - Tornado Video - Billings, MetraPark | Geekosystem
Wow. This is simply insane. We've gone from "Get in the Storm Cellar" to - "wow - it's tearing the roof off a building, are you getting it on video tape?"
Joe Barton Would Like To Apologize
Evidently Senator Joe Barton apologized to BP for the "$20 billion shakedown" - so someone created an awesome website where he apologizes for things through history... I especially like "Joe Barton would like to apologize to AT&T for unrealistically expecting to make phone calls with a phone"
I've had weeks like this...
You know those days where you feel like a chicken running around after its head is cut off? Well, now we know what the chicken feels like watching US. :)
D&D Encounters gives players an excuse to jump back in
Though I can't say I'm a fan of D&D 4, I'd definitely encourage gamers to get back into it again. It's a good social event and an excuse to play someone other than yourself!
Penny Arcade! - The Universal Analogy
Saw this today and didn't know whether to laugh or cry because it's simply an amazing way to envision the horrific oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Now they're saying the leak may not even be plugged by December... talk about environmental devastation... Ugh.
The New Bacon Food Pyramid
I have to admit that I love bacon... but this may be taking it a bit too far...!
County dipping into employees' pockets for 16-year-old debt | ajc.com
Wow. Budget woes are bad when you're going after overpaid bonuses from 16 years ago...
