Shortly after his run as Wesley Crusher on Star Trek: The Next Generation, Wil Wheaton joined the nerdiest company of all time, NewTek. At a recent convention, Will was asked “why it’s awesome to be a nerd” and gave this fantastic answer. Enjoy.. Proud to have him as a NewTek alum!
When you start thinking you are getting old just watch this video of the dancing grandpa.. get off your butt and don’t take “I’m too old” for an answer! 🙂
Comedian Russell Brand makes an appearance on MSNBC’s Morning Joe.. Things don’t start off well when the host makes a few condescending remarks which is just the beginning of the downward spiral this interview takes.
Kudo’s to Russell Brand for staying interesting and funny in spite of the poor interview.. 5:30 it starts getting interesting when Russell takes over.
Having a Dad and daughter morning. We have been singing.. When Scarlet sang the song “Clouds”, I couldn’t help but record and post it! 🙂 Sweet song and a sweet girl.
Programmer Michael Birken’s new way of drawing video game characters is probably more complicated than it needs to be, but all the more incredible for it.
Birken designed an algorithm that can place single blocks of color in Tetris by strategically building and destroying lines at lightning speed. Precisely place enough blocks, and you’ve got a made-to-order line. Stack enough lines, and the result is a pixellated picture of anything you want. Birken trained the program to build images of classic 8-bit characters like Mario, Link and Samus.
Here is a little something for all of my fitness minded friends..Prancercise! Alright.. I’ll admit is pretty dorky.. There is one thing about this video that once you notice it, it’s ALL that you will see! HA!!
Just read the story of Zach Sobiech, a teen who was suffering from a rare form of cancer. He knew that he was reaching the end of his life and turned to music as a way to leave a message behind for his friends and family.
I got chills when I heard his song, “Clouds”.
Zach has now passed away.. RIP Zach Sobiech…
Rainn Wilson, Dwight Schrute of the office posted this FANTASTIC celebrity filled version of “clouds” to help raise awareness to the song and Zach’s Ostersarcoma Fund.
