Click on the water to feed them. Click and drag the turtles to move them around. Here is where I got it from.
The Sharp TV Commercial with Sulu is my favorite commercial right now. Sometimes when I am in the mood to smile, I just play this:

I went to see the Conan O’Brien Tour tonight and it rocked! We got Triumph, Andy, the self-pleasuring panda, and the Walker Texas Ranger Lever (now renamed the Chuck Norris Rural Policeman Handle). We also got a surprise one night only musical appearance from Eddie Vedder. I don’t know how Conan got him, because I know he doesn’t go out much. I really don’t think there will be a better show on the tour than what I just saw. And THEN on his encore performance, Conan decided to run out into the audience while playing guitar. He happened to pick the seat in front of me to stand on! Now I know no one would believe me, so lucky for me my phone takes video! Here you go, enjoy and be jealous:
I saw this at the grocery store yesterday. Apparently it is a common item in the U.K. But here it just seems wrong.
If you read my blog at all, you probably already know of the fun I have with an audio recorder and the Speech Analysis feature of Adobe Soundbooth. I record common everyday things and let Soundbooth try to figure out what it is saying if it were a human voice. Well this time I recorded my dishwasher. Here’s what it had to say:
A,
the likelihood of your,
your your,
your book,
Good book.
Toure you know,
a write a.
(Note, all I’ve edited in the direct speech translation was the removal of duplicate words, and I added the punctuation)
Interestingly, Toure is an American writer! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toure. So apparently my dishwasher is recommending novels. I just haven’t been listening.
Thanks to hackers, it has come to this. Windows 7 has to ask me if I trust my printer:
Well, I’m not sure if I trust my printer. It’s never stolen my money before, or verbally abused me. But it does run out of ink suspiciously fast, so maybe it’s cheating on me with some other user!? I’m just so conflicted.
I got a call over the weekend from an old man asking for someone, and I told him he had the wrong number. Hours later I saw the same number calling me so I ignored it and he left me a message. Keep in mind that my message greeting clearly says my name is Shawn and clearly spells out my phone number. I guess he ignored that part.
Listen here:
Whaaa? A couple questions:
- Why was he staring at locks? Or is he referring to river locks?
- Was he calling for Jean or Freddy? Did he forget halfway through the message?
I kind of hope I get another message from him, at least to clear things up.
Google has a feature where it will automatically guess the search you are trying to make as you type in words. Well I simply typed the word “why” in the Google search box, and look at the results. Is Google playing a little practical joke on us? Try it out for yourself!
Here’s round 4 of my Speech to Text fun. For those of you that didn’t read my previous posts #1, #2 and #3, the current version of Adobe Soundbooth comes with speech transcription, allowing you to take recorded spoken word and convert it into text. I wanted to know what it would do if I gave it a sound that wasn’t a voice. This time I recorded myself vacuuming. What did my vacuum have to say? This is exactly what came out (I added the line breaks):
Do we do it
you do Lulu
you look I the eye
I correct we do good
we I continued
do you
I do the youth
If I were to interpret poem, I’d say my vacuum is into a little dirty poetry!
