‘That Way’ at the Office

Could this be the new Rickroll’d?

Louisville Author’s New Work Coming Soon

A friend of mine is a local author who’s new book—The Requiem Rose: A Waverly Hills Story—is coming out in November. Here’s part of the synopsis:

In 1929, at the height of the tuberculosis epidemic, a patient dies every hour at the Waverly Hills Tuberculosis Sanatorium, set high upon a wooded hillside in Louisville, Kentucky. Wolfgang Pike is both priest and doctor at the sanatorium, but his medicine can’t cure the sick and his religion can’t bring peace to them—nor to himself. He was a doctor before he was a priest, and in between he met and married the love of his life, Rose, who died tragically on a downtown street. With his childhood dreams of being the next Mozart unfulfilled, his new life revolves around writing the perfect requiem for his late wife. But nothing is perfect enough for Rose’s memory.

Sounds intriguing! If you’re so inclined, head over to his site to find out more.

The Don’t Song

Great stuff. Creating these is harder than you might think.

Microsoft Introduces ‘Natal’

Make sure you check out this crazy gadget Microsoft is calling “Natal” that’s taking sensor input to a whole new level. In the words of Tracy Morgan, “That’s preposterous!”

Left4Dead w/ Bots on Expert, Mercy Hospital Lvl. 4

Playing with bots isn’t impossible on Expert, but it’s quite hard. Made it through Mercy Hospital level 4 with a rag-tag bunch of crazy computer scripts. Zoey is twice the bot Francis will ever be.

Caruso So Over the Top, The Top Left Town

So easy even a Caveman could do it. Wait… I did? Oh yeah, back in 1995: Caruso on Caruso.

Beer Pong Savants

Some of this HAS to be special effects, right? RIGHT?!?!

If not, big time props to the fellas: Matt Compton, Steve Olson, David Anderson and Michael Schimp.

Update 5/9: And there’s more! Maybe we should have a Pong Bracket Contest?

Gotta love the angry Robert Montgomery Knight!

Richard Simmons, King of the Uncomfortable Situations

Warning: This video is not for the easily squeamish but it’s hilarious. I love how Wayne Brady was curling up in the fetal position afterward. Richard Simmons is one strange guy.

Joaquin Phoenix Has Done Lost His Freakin’ Mind

It’s an arrogance of sorts. Who knows the history between these two but most assuredly, this is one of the most bizarre interviews this television viewer has ever seen. Some are saying it’s part of a mockumentory that Casey Affleck is putting together.
