The Best Webcomic Ever

I know, I’m a bit late on finding this one, but here it is.

I have a lot of apologies to make. Not that they’re required, of course, but I still feel obligated to get this out there.

I… have a new favorite webcomic. It’s not a new webcomic by any means, but it is amazing. When I say amazing, I mean that it is the single best compilation of images, plot, and dialog that I have ever witnessed in a comic. Ever.

PVP, Nedroid, XKCD, Gamer Cat, Sandra and Woo, Lackadaisy Cats, Loading Artist, Awkward Zombie, Heavenly Nostrils, and all the rest… you guys are great. I highly recommend each of you to my readers. None of you, however, offer a multiple doctorate-holding, practicing physician, dinosaur riding/punching, and lumberjack-fighting ninja protagonist. I have thoroughly enjoyed all of the read-throughs; I still hold that Lackadaisy has the best art, and I am still biased towards PVP’s storyline and character set, but Dr. McNinja, you are the best.

I salute you all in your comical endeavors, and I apologize greatly to all of you who have been displaced. Lackadaisy Cats, you now hold the number two spot, right above PVP.

Dr. McNinja, you are awesome.

That is all.

Awesome April Fools’ Jokes

The Post-Game Report

Ok, well, this has nothing to do with sports or anything like that. This, my friends, is a post-”April Fools’” report.

I really did enjoy April 1st. Google Nose, Youtube shutting down, toasters that tweet and make logos…. yeah, my kinda internet.

Here’s a run-down of my favorite jokes yesterday.

Google Nose:

I’m sure a lot of people saw this one, but I think it’s mention-worthy. Google introduced a technology that allows you to smell your search results! How awesome is that? Well, just be careful what you search for…

Rhett and Link

This was probably my favorite prank of the day, and it might even still get you if you’re not careful.

Super Toaster

This was shared with me by a friend of mine. I would be very tempted to buy this toaster if it were real.

Winning at Youtube

Youtube threatened to pick a winner and shut down Youtube.com. They proclaimed that the site would be re-opened in ten years with a single video: yesterday’s winner.

Others

Twitter announced a new service, Reddit made everyone on the site mad, and Steam drove a few gamers crazy.

Me…

And, I had a little fun of my own. I actually topped out my record number of visitors/views yesterday with an application for best friend! Unfortunately, due to budget constraints, the position had to be left unfilled. Also, nobody could answer the Monty Python reference. I am disappointed.

Have a great week! I’ll be at the NAB conference in Las Vegas next week, so I’ll try to get some posts up here with pictures and write-ups on the coolest stuff there.

The Best Dictionary Ever

I started off writing a post about how I loved and cherished and held to dear to my life all those things filled with words and pages and stuff (books). I realized, though, that a Milky Way bar was sitting on my desk, and I quickly succumbed to the lesser me. Then I realized that I had no motivation at all to write about books. Those are far too sacred of objects to be carelessly scribbled about in a Milky Way-induced euphoria. So instead, I decided to do what I do best. Ramble. The following is a dissertation on everything important.

Everything Important Explained

~~~

College: A very large  social experiment in which the test subjects voluntarily pay to undergo the strangest of rituals–probably a conspiracy, but what isn’t?

Grammar: The grammar system is the result of all the pent-up OCD of every overly-influential language scholar. It serves no function other than to facilitate the object of written communication, confuse young children, and torture innocent students.

Guns: Guns don’t kill people; bears kill people.

Lighters: Tools used for burning cigarettes, starting fires, and razing buildings. Read owner’s manual before using.

Photography: Photography is the means by which the phrase “taking a picture” describes a legitimate action.

Pop Tarts: Pop Tarts give meaning to any toaster’s life.

Root Beer: This is the best soda ever. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. If there’s a national carbonated soft drink of Heaven, this is it.

Rubber Duckies: These seemingly innocent little creatures are plotting to take over the world, aided by the ever-scheming and endlessly-devious goats.

Service Bells: Service bells are like doorbells, they rarely ever serve their intended functions. Instead, they become vessels of annoyance and impatience.

To Be Continued…

A note to my awesome readers: I’m sorry for the large lapse in time between posts. I recently started a new full-time job, so I’ve been a bit busier than normal. Getting up at 5:15 am every morning is a new and sometimes painful experience. I promise that I’ll post something beefier soon. Like a cow.

A note to all my other readers: see above.

Cheers!
