This is a great and scary short film from Blue Tongue Films. It’s loosely based off of the saying “It’s all fun and games until someone loses an eye”. A great lesson can be learned from the end. I won’t spoil the ending, so just watch it.

RealRyder ABF8: ride and lean like a real cyclist

April 9, 2009 @ 9:09 pm

Crave links to this neat stationary bike from RealRyder that allows for the cyclist to lean in and out as if he/she were riding an actual bike on the road. Most stationary bikes I’ve seen don’t have this feature and thus don’t quite imitate the feel of actually riding the bike outside.

The RealRyder ABF8 costs $2000 which personally is a lot more than I’d like for a bike that goes absolutely nowhere.

My cats would never do this, but I wish they would because this is such a funny video to watch.

Thanks Tim!

Stock Market rollercoaster T-shirt from Neatorama

October 7, 2008 @ 2:26 am

Neatorama is selling this amusing stock market rollercoaster ride T-shirt for $9.95 USD. The image is representative of the perpetual plunge and rise of the stock market, most recently today when United States, European, and Asian markets all took a steep dive.

The worsening economic sitation in the US is causing some distress in families with children in high school going onto college because some banks have stopped giving out Stafford loans.

Anyway, I really like this T-shirt. I kinda want one, but you know, I’m all out of money to spend on frivolous tees like this.
