Fox reporter attacked while investigating crook

It’s nearly 8 minutes long, and the volume is screwed up in the second half, but this video is still worth watching.  A Fox news reporter was meeting with someone who had been defrauded.  During the meeting, the wife of the crook badgers the two men.  Then, the crook shows up and attacks like Sean Penn on a young camera-man.  The reporter takes a pretty significant beating.  But the cops show up and all ends right.

Foxtrot FTW

I’m a week late on this, but as I’m still catching up on a lot of the news of the world from recent traveling and auto-repair (done by me, glorious handy-man that I am not), I feel self-forgiving. That out of the way, how accurate is this Foxtrot from last week? Sounds a lot like my wish for how to live.  Anyone else act/think this way?

Cool retro Nintendo clock

(via Destructoid)

nintendo_clock.jpgWhen I first saw this on Destructoid, I thought about picking it up. Then I noticed the same problem the Destructoid poster noticed – no power plug. This clock only runs off batteries. While I suppose that would make it good for travellers who want a cool clock to wake them in the morning, I’d like to have something like this that I could just leave on my nightstand and have it wake me every morning. But I’m just cool like that, you know. 🙂

If you are interested, you can pick one up at ThinkGeek for ~$25.  It even includes what is being called a mini-game, but I find it hard to give it full credit as a game, even mini:

Playing the Mini-Game:
Push “select” until you see a series of zeros (this is your previous high-score in the game). Push the “start” button and the game will begin with a sound from Super Mario Bros. The object is to push the “A” and “B” buttons as rapidly as possible within 10 seconds. The two small numbers on the right represent the number of seconds remaining, while the large numbers on the left indicate the number of button pushes (your score). If you score above 160 then a secret alarm sound will be unlocked. After you play the game once, the clock will remember your previous high-score.

I don’t think the quarter comes with the clock, either (nor do batteries, for that matter).

Evil twins

What can you do to make a beautiful woman even better?  Make her evil.  This recent Worth1000 photochop contest has entrants do just that.  There are some non-female evil entries, but most of them are females made to appear more evil.  Here are a couple of my favorite, plus links to a few more I want to highlight.

Time to travel

I’ll be heading out of town for a few days.  I doubt I’ll be able to get online while I’m travelling.  I was not able to get any posts set up to publish while I’m gone.  That means that unless I find a way to get online while on the road, I’ll not make any posts until Monday night when I return.  I apologize for not getting things set up ahead of time, but I’ve recently been blocked from my own site from one of the places I used to work on it, and have had limited time to work on it while at home.  Expect this to be cleared up next week, as I’ve come up with a way to work on the site elsewhere and publish when I’m at home.

Chuck Norris vs. Zombie Bruce Lee

I wish I had done this.  But I lack skill and imagination necessary to pull it off.  It’s a “The Movies” generated machinima of Chuck Norris fighting a zombified Bruce Lee.  As we all know, such a meeting must never come to pass, lest the very world on which we live be destroyed from that much awesomeness being in such close quarters.  But in machinima, anything can happen.
