Apparently you aren’t the only one frustrated by Microsoft’s recently declining product quality.  A blogger was going through emails turned over during MS’s antitrust suit from 5 years ago and found one in particular where Bill himself was frazzled from his recent Windows experience.

Someone decided to trash the one part of Windows that was usable? The file system is no longer usable. The registry is not usable. This program listing was one sane place but now it is all crapped up.

Although slightly biased by my recent switch to a Mac, I, for one, have felt this exact level of frustration with Windows on more than one occasion.

Aaron Fechter is a co-inventor of Rock-afire Explosion perhaps better known for their gigs at Chuck E Cheese restaurants.  Now he takes bids for requests and has the band perform the winning songs.   Here’s the YouTube channel.

Here’s a game to waste some time.  Hold “Up” to “fly”.  Don’t forget to load up on cabbage and pickles.

You can vote on the worst reproductions of Bo and Luke’s pride and joy.

To recreate the General Lee from the TV series the Dukes of Hazard, you need: 12 cans orange spray paint; one 01 sticker; one 1969 Dodge Charger. This is what you get if you just have the sticker and the paint.

These are 7 wine glasses each representing one of the seven deadly sins.  It’s a novelty and probably costs out the wazoo, but pretty neat nonetheless.  It’s fun trying to figure out which is which.

Mashup artist Girl Talk ( Wiki | MySpace ) released his new album “Feed the Animals” as a pay-whatever-you-want download.  Which is an awesome concept more and more artist are coming around to.  On it there’s a mix containing “New Soul” by Yael Naim, the song from the Mac Book Air ads.  Putting it back into the original ad created something Apple should begin beaming to TV’s immediately.

That’s a dead on Bruce Springsteen.  Not bad on Cindy Rauper, either.  Sorry, couldn’t help myself.

We’re back up and running!  New host and new theme.  Hopefully lots of new stuff to post.

• I’m still iffy on the Live Chat thingy, if you guys wanna keep it I can.
• The drop down comments were a pain in the ass to manage and kind of a load on the scripting, so they’re gone.  Barring a formal coupe.
• There’s a neat new drop down thing at the top “Open/Close”.  I’m not sure what to put in there.  Maybe my hopes and dreams… or nudey pics.  I can’t decide.  Any suggestions?
• Comments are open to everyone, with moderation for anyone who’s not a member.  Might spark some interesting conversation, but this is the internet, so outlook is bleak.
• Added the “Stumble It!” link (thanks Wolfe!).  Click on the things you like, maybe drive some more traffic this way.  Anyone else use any of those social bookmarking things?  They seem to be all the rage.  StumbleUpon is pretty cool and the easiest to use.
• “Submit A Post” is down for a little bit.
• If anything else is wonky or just doesn’t work, lemme know.

Tell me what you think in the comments.

Watch out behind you…

There will be malls and airports full of injured idiots trying to do this by day’s end.

Darth Vader’s entrance will bring a grin to your face.  Also, this brings Chewbacca and Kevin Bacon one degree closer through his Footloose rendition.  That sentence also bumps me up the ladder of results for Google resuts on “Keven Bacon AND Chewbacca”.  Sweet.

Reverse grafitti is the removal of dirt or grime to create an artwork.  This is a video of Paul “Moose” Curtis doing a piece on San Francisco’s Broadway Tunnel.  He was featured on NPR recently for his work.  It’s a neat concept.  Is it a crime to clean only parts of something public?

This one is by Alexandre Orion.

He must be going to D.J.’s Country Junction!
