Return of the King.
It would appear that my PS3 successfully transferred my deets to the new unit list night. Barring any last minute roadblocks, this week should see my sweet restoration to the Playstation World. I’m sure Duck and SpaHa and my fellow [iM] crew has moved on without me — killing n00bs on Modern Warfare with newfound skills I can only dream of — but I’ll work hard to make my...

Let's Go Black Knights.
I am not quite up on this Lip dub phenomenon, but, from what I gather, it’s a fairly big hit with the kids these days and their wacky internets. This afternoon, my old pal Tommy forwarded a little video to a bunch of us that some students from our High School alma mater put together. I was impressed by the fact that they: did it in one take, had a steadycam, and got to do something...

Play. Station.
So, this weekend, with the help of my bro and father-in-law, I attempted the daunting Playstation motherboard re-flow — the most successful of all “YLOD” fixes. Two hours, a lot of screws, some compressed air, a 750-degree heat gun and some thermal compound later, my Playstation magically turned back on. The disc, trapped within, ejected. There was hope.

"Con"-Ed. Ha!
We just had the semi-annual experience of an unannounced Con-Ed Worker showing up at our office for “work”. It always amazes me how they just appear and demand stuff (which sounds fairly serious) in a very nonchalant manner, like: “Hey, show me to your meters, I gotta swap ‘em all out.” Why? “Because they’re old.” Or “Yeah, you might lose...

Haps + Onion.
Meg just forwarded notice that Haps is featured in this story from the Onion News Network. Check it out to see Big Red, in all his glory. Literally. Will this video surpass the Web Success of “Happy’s Court?“ Only time will tell.
PS - Not Haps’ actual junk. PPS - Probably not safe for children or work. PPPS - (re: PS) Trust me, I know.

Watchleitch:
Thanks, Vulture.
I’m going to guess that Frants has seen 99% of the films shown (and can recognize all of them). Myself: probably more like 50-60% seen / 85% recognized.

Junior High Student Arrested for Doodling in... →
Yikes. And to think, when I was in 3rd Grade, I got a pink slip and proceeded to feign illness for a week, staying home just to avoid the dreaded school punishment (standing in the hall with your nose to the wall for an entire recess).
Something like this would have given me a nervous breakdown.
