Thanks to a friend of ours, we have now been exposed to an apparent internet phenomenon, a video of a lip-syncing Russian from 1978, singing a song without any words. Yes. You read that right. The reason we know it’s a phenomenon is the incredible number of alternate versions available on YouTube, including this very…

Bits vs Bites … Scam
I have already learned that there is a difference between a bit and a byte. That’s why when you buy a hard drive that says it’s 1 TB … you’re actually only getting 976.56 GB. Or something like that. Because one kilobyte is 1024 bits, and one megabyte is 1024 kilobits, etc. For some reason…
View From Space … Almost!
This is… CRAZY. Had to post :-)
12-21-12
For some reason the topic of the world ending in 2012 came up in a conversation with a friend yesterday. So, I decided to look it up online and found a History Channel documentary from a couple years ago called Doomsday 2012: The End of Days. It was pretty interesting stuff… There are several strange…
[Things That Are Weird] Phone Walkers
I tend to walk around and do stuff while I’m on the phone. Sometimes it’s even just aimless walking, but usually I am just multi-tasking. Do you? I was meeting with a new client yesterday, and he did the same thing. He just took off and started pacing his house as soon as he answered…

Continuing the “Things That Are Weird” theme… It can’t get much weirder than going through some sort of wake up routine, going about your daily business after turning off your alarm and getting out of bed… only to have the alarm go off again, and you find yourself STILL in bed! Perhaps it gets weirder…
[Things That Are Weird] Gambling Aversions
I know that I probably just can’t understand, since it really has no pull on me, but one more Thing That [Is] Weird to me is how much of an aversion some folks have to gambling on any level. Not just Christian, “God hates gamblers” folks. Regular folks who feel like any wagering is fruitless,…
Powerful Thoughts?
I don’t know if this is for real, but I got it from a friend on Facebook and thought it might be possible? :-) Does mind over matter include over other matter? :-) Also, can’t you affect how a plant grows by how you talk to it? The rest of the experiment (says the video)…
[Things That Are Weird] Wiper Fluid Containers
Does anyone else wonder why windshield wiper fluid is sold in a container/amount that is only slightly more than fits in your empty windshield wiper fluid dispenser in your vehicle? I have never understood this. And I don’t believe I ever will. I will often just hand a container like this to the nearest person…
