One of the latest in online video sites Current.com has offered up a new gem with a Bill Gates vs Steve Jobs (Microsoft vs Apple) battle to the death, well sort of.
Video after the break or click here and watch it at Current.com:
With all the hype that’s now buzzing about the new “Sex and the City” movie I felt it would be a good time to pull up an oldie but a goody. These flash animations were made by a website that no longer exists called Romp.com. The files thankfully are still alive online and available for us to enjoy.
There were only 5 episodes and each one takes it’s own spin and gives a smack on the butt to the whole “Sex and the City” cast. I still laugh each time I watch these.
Each of these are very much like “Sex and the City” in that they are not very safe for work. You’ve been warned.
Direct links to each episode after the break.
I recently received an email from some friends with a little animated movie from JibJab. I was impressed at first that they had taken the time to make one and send it out but then decided to follow it to the source. We have all seen these before in fact I have a few on this site which I will link below, basically you upload your images and crop the face and they do the rest by animated it for you. This is a little different because it’s not exactly free, they are charging money for credits and each time you send one of these to your friends it’s going to cost you. Now some are very clever and funny to watch but I think they could have found another way to make money and keep it free for us all. I for one don’t mind seeing an ad before the video.
Well I know this is a bit late but It’s been bouncing around in my head and I just thought i’d share.
Being away from America means missing the Super Bowl and all the Super Bowl parties. I know pockets of people who live here and did watch the superbowl but with the time difference it didn’t start until 10:30 pm. We also don’t get one of my favorite parts, the ads. The Super Bowl was on the BBC here but all the ads were replaced with ads the BBC decided to air and not the ones people in the states were watching.
Thanks to the world wide web I am able to see them online and in fact this year thanks to a youtube channel I didn’t have to go searching for them.

I have placed a few of my favorites here after the jump.
Tutorials are great. Even the most useful tutorial can be a bit bland and even boring at times. I am not knocking anyone who takes the time to teach. I admire them and appreciate the effort and patience they display each time they make a tutorial. I have even made quite a few myself and I know how hard it is to keep things interesting.
Donnie Hoyle is the new king of tutorials and he has made a few educational yet hilarious Photoshop tutorials called “You Suck at Photoshop”. His comedy style is pure genius and I enjoyed each second. Watch as Donnie explains how to do some of the more popular techniques while subtly shedding insight into his not-so-happy marriage.

What do you get when you cross Google Images, Money and way too much spare time? You might get the following photos of half celebrity and half money. These are very interesting and almost scary. I did laugh when I seen the “Dr. Evil Money”.
I think these have ruined some money for me as well. I know I will never be able to look at George Washington in the same way again.

I learned a new word today, sort of. A Sleeveface is someone who uses an album cover and their body together to create the illusion of something else.
I have added some of my favorites so far below which you can click on to enlarge. If I actually owned some albums I might try this, it looks fun. Somehow I don’t think it will work so well with a cd case. I looked to see if perhaps this was a phenomenon I had somehow missed out on but I can’t find very many. In fact I can only find one image at Flickr when searching for “sleeveface”.
UPDATE: I was looking for the wrong thing at Flickr. It turns out they are also called LP Portraits. You can see loads more at the photo pool below:

If you have not seen this video released last night at CES 2008 as part of Bill Gates keynote speech you should really check it out. I am an Apple user but love the way Bill Gates can laugh at himself. You have to admire the richest man in the world on some level and props go out to the G man himself. I really laughed at Bono’s appearance, Guitar Hero? Very funny stuff.

The video is a Flash video and may require the latest version of flash.
What do you get the geek in your life this holiday season that will totally make them smile? The list is probably endless but of course this t-shirt will also do the trick. It might also work for anyone you know that is mad into texting. Here are a few of my favorites:
The list could go on forever and since you can put whatever you want on this shirt it could be around for quite a while. Please add your ideas for what to write in the comments.

We never did Christmas Crackers as a kid. Most Americans would not know what they are. I first pulled a cracker in Ireland at the age of 21 when I was invited home with my girlfriend at the time (she is my wife now). I was blown away and really surprised that more Americans didn’t use Christmas Crackers.
To put a new twist on the whole cracker experience, a company based here in Ireland called Angry has created some crackers of their own. These look very fun and instead of paper hats they come with felt hats that will last longer and can be customised to both fit your head and look different by customizing your crown.
They also come with some clever buttons that will help you communicate while eating with phrases like “more turkey” and “one more sprout please”. If that was not enough they also come with a joke written by the clever folks at Angry.
