Microsoft - Stop Making Fun of Us
[from Flickr user mikeabundo]

…working from home and watching The Price is Right in the background.

Hey, check it out:

My friend Scott, whom some of you know, has started a-blogging over at Scott’s Daily Routine. Woo hoo! Welcome to the blogosphere, Scott!

(Scott: You may want to check your blog/comment settings: I tried to enter a comment, but WP said I had to be logged in, and the “users can register themselves” option apprears to be disabled. Oh, and get a WP key for the Akismet anti-spam plugin. Trust me on this..!)

This just in from the always-entertaining Mark Evanier:

D&D on DVD

I guess I should mention that it’s official: The Dungeons and Dragons cartoon show, which I worked on back in my misspent youth, is coming to DVD shortly. On or about November 7, it’s coming out from the Ink and Paint company — a “complete” set which will include all 27 episodes plus a “making of” documentary and a number of special features. I’ll put up an Amazon link as soon as that’s possible.

W00t!

Ah… good times…

• Hey, look - a Dungeons and Dragons ride!
• Wow, neat!
• Give me a break.
• I don’t like this!
• What’s happening?
• Where are we?
• Look out!
• Fear not, ranger; barbarian; magician; thief; cavalier; and acrobat!
• Who was that?
• That was Venger, the force of evil. I am Dungeon Master, your guide in the realm of Dungeons & Dragons!

Intersting science bit noted over at Slashdot:

Fear of Snakes May Have Driven Pre-Human Evolution
Krishna Dagli writes “An evolutionary arms race between early snakes and mammals triggered the development of improved vision and large brains in primates, a radical new theory suggests. The idea, proposed by Lynne Isbell, an anthropologist at the University of California, Davis, suggests that snakes and primates share a long and intimate history, one that forced both groups to evolve new strategies as each attempted to gain the upper hand. Early primates developed a better eye for color, detail and movement and the ability to see in three dimensions — traits that are important for detecting threats at close range. Humans are descended from those same primates. “

Oh, and

there are motherfucking snakes on the motherfucking plane!

Yeah, I posted this pretty much just to have the “Snakes on a Plane” reference.

Take

• some plastic bowling pins
• a can of pledge
• hardwood floors
• a laser pointer, and
• your girlfriend’s dog.

Put them together, and you get this video:

But wait! That’s not all! Act now and we’ll throw in a Spanish version of “Hotel California” at no extra cost!
