Veird Vednesdays

Evening kids, new edition of Weird Wednesdays coming your way. After the jump is a video of an intro for "The Simpsons" as directed by British graffiti artist and director Banksy, which has to be the darkest and saddest intro ever to be shown ever.

Movie-a-Minute - VERY brief summaries of the movies often in a comedic fashion but are pretty dead on. Especially with "Speed", "The Sixth Sense" and "The Matrix."

Reinventing The Most Popular Ballpoint Pen - Ever wonder what a bunch a guys, five dollars and a lot of boredom bring? This crap.

Homemade Spacecraft - Although already seen by probably millions, still awesome, weird and note worthy. A guy made an apparatus to put a camera in, attach a weather balloon and launch it up into the blackness of space in HD.

Photoshop Phriday - First Layer

Here's the first installment to Photoshop Phriday where I post up something I've drummed up in Photoshop. Sadly I received no challenges for this one but here's a couple to test the waters and try it out. These are also either new or unreleased work of mine.

Desperate Putz For Hire!

Good evening folks, Sketch reporting here and this post is pretty simple, in fact I can sum it up in one sentence.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WILL SOMEONE FUCKING HIRE ME?!?!

I'd end it there but that's pretty vague. Basically the job I have has went from suck to being on the borderland of desperation where knocking over a bank doesn't sound like a half bad idea. (I'm probably already on a watch list for Googling it several times for movie research. Sorry, "movie research.") I've been looking and looking and trying to offer my services out there for those interested so I'm using this as an option to because in New Hampshire, where I live, the things I'm offering don't really have such a high demand as I live in what could readily be described as the backwoods of Bumblefuck. Which is not to be confused with the next J.K. Rowling book, "Harry Potter and the Backwoods of Bumblefuck."
So in an effort to help expand I'm putting this up so hopefully I may get some scratch and not resort to chronic alcoholism. By the way, where is the mentality come from that all poor people drink? I don't drink because I'm poor, they're just alcoholics and happen to go broke after the fact 'cause drinking is an expensive habit. All I'm saying.

Weird Wednesdays - The Quickening

Greetings again for our third installment on our WW segment, sorry for missing out on last week had a lot of crap to do very quick before seeing Mushroomhead in Portland. Quick capsule review on that: fucking awesome. ON WITH THE LINKS!

Bioshock Fishtank Case Mod - A guy submerged his motherboard in a fish tank with a big daddy and it works... WHAT?

Michelle Rodriguez' "Citizen Jane" - A trailer for an upcoming movie to be released on the 70th anniversary of "Citizen Kane" with a version of that movie that apparently is going to be like that but full of violence and really shitty CG. It's a minute and a half of, "WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST WATCH?"

Additionally if anyone has any suggestions or challenges for my first Photoshop Phriday let me know.

Must Have Add-Ons For Firefox

As this is the browsers I use as a lot of folk do (because Internet Explorer is more infectious than a Vietnamese prostitute, and apologies if any Microsoft people or Vietnamese prostitutes were offended by that remark) I wanted to list off some of the add-ons I use that are either helpful to a degree for the average Interweb user.

Web Of Trust - Protects the user by letting them know if the site they're visiting is kosher or has a bad rap for screwing you or your computer as rated by other users. Quite helpful, not so much looking at porn galleries but better safe than sorry.

No Script - Like WOT prevents unwanted scripts from being used, mostly saves time on loading unnecessary bullshit like ads on the side. Somewhat if there's someone on MySpace who has a bunch of third party crap all over it. On a side note, isn't Facebook now the fancy new space station-like mall and MySpace is the really downtrodden ghetto mall where there are cats standing out in front desperate for "friends?"

StumbleUpon - This one is iffy for others to say its needed however it's a great time killer. Simply the add-on is this: you press the "Stumble!" button and it takes you anywhere on the web tailored to your liking. And more often than not after hitting the button you think, "That was cool." It also has a StumbleThrough feature so you can find random pages through YouTube, Wikipedia, The Onion, Ghetto Ma -- I mean, MySpace; Blogspot (Thanks fellow stumblers!) and many other sites.

Cool Previews - Good if you don't wanna commit to fully opening a link either because your lazy or suspicious about it. Hover a link, click the button that appears next to it and it will preview that link in a small window inside your current tab without ever leaving the page you're on. It's neat.

Torrent Finder - Quick search bar that goes through every torrent site imaginable looking for the torrent you want to find. Although it is recommended that you should probably get something like WOT or No Script to be safe prior to getting this as there are a plentiful of torrent sites that are a wading pool of bad.

Additionally, it's not quite so much an add on as it is a feature already on the normal Firefox however can be extended. The Google search bar in the corner can also search through various sites like YouTube and Wiki and beyond the ones already listed in the drop down you can add more sites to search through such as IMDb and Dictionary.com.

W31RD W3DN35DAY5 - Nerd Edition

Today we come baring gifts of quite a few things to keep you busy with. While you do that I'll be getting a blood transfusion as a little of my own trickled down my ear typing the title. Have fun, y'all.

Spray On Shirts - A company in the UK is developing a product where you can spray a silly string like substance onto your shirt, let it dry and it magically can become a shirt. Outside of morons at the beach and festivals, who does this really apply to?

Hackers Crash MPAA Webstie For 18 Hours - This I'm posting because it's just plain awesome. I never thought I'd thank 4Chan ever, but thanks guys!
