Chicago Zombie

/ Shane / 1 Comment

Well the first item in zombie news today, Michael Jackson’s Thriller is going to be turned into a musical.  I think this is great news!  It has all the elements of a good musical; great music, neat costumes, elaborate dance sequences.  Plus, anything that allows me to hear Thriller more is a plus.

So, the other day I happened upon a website that seemed right up my alley: Chicago Zombie.  The have all sorts of zombie news, Chicago zombie get togethers, etc. such a pub crawls where everybody dresses up like a zombie.  Brilliant!

And then my zombie news went weirdly circular when MegDesk posteda zombie themed post which mentioned  Død Sno, a zombie / Nazi movie which is Norway’s entrant into the Sundance Film Festival.  Well, I saw a preview for said movie on Chicago Zombie, and I must say it looks even more awesome than I could have imagined:

Finally, Meg also sent me a link the other day on how to hack those flashing message street signs.  Of course, what more important message could you possibly send other than:

 

Well, it looks like someone took them up on their instructions, since I saw this today, out of Austin Texas.  Their messages were things like “Caution! Zombies Ahead!” which I like and “Zombies in Area! Run!” which I don’t like because to me it is funnier when it is phrased the way those street signs are usually phrased.  And “Nazi Zombies Ahead!” doesn’t even make sense, other than to make this post even more weirdly inter-related.

But hey, I’m not out committing crimes for zombie related jokes, so who am I to judge?


Take Bacon. Add Sausage. Blog.

That is the title of this article, and who am I to ignore such advice.

Be prepared to have your mind blown by the Bacon Explosion.

I don’t really have much to say about it that isn’t covered in that article.  Any recipe that involves the words “bacon weave” is alright by me.  Now excuse me while I drool on my computer screen.

Gnomes and their hats

Here is a riddle for you.  I will post the answer in the comments.  For the record, I didn’t get it but a co-worker of mine did.

Illusion of Color

/ Shane / 3 Comments

How about something fun?

Check out this freaky illusion.  Basically you stare at the dot in the center of the picture for a few seconds and then mouse over the picture. The picture will look like it has normal coloring.  Now look away from the dot. Surprise!  The picture is actually black and white, but your eyes superimpose the photonegative of the coloring from the first picture making it seem colored.

Maybe it is cooler than it sounds.

Send the TSA a message

/ Shane / 1 Comment

Updating my post on airport security, if you get frustrated enough, maybe you might decide to send the TSA a little message.  That’s what this guy decided to do and made some nice, thin metal plates that you can insert into your bag before putting it through the machine with messages like “Nothing to See Here” or “Mind Your Own Business”.  I’m sure those TSA guys enjoy a good chuckle during their day!
