An Open Letter to God

Writing by Chris on Monday, 23 of January , 2006 at 9:26 am

Robert Kirman, writer of Battle Pope, has a conversation with God in which he begs for a Transporter 3.  Kickass.

As I get older, I’m starting to notice more and more that I enjoy a movie that doesn’t make me think. It’s the equivalent of rattling keys in front of a baby. It’s just a symphony of motion and noise that brings the viewer enjoyment for no discernable reason.

Bob Woodruff at the Google Campus

Writing by Chris on Saturday, 21 of January , 2006 at 7:24 pm

A few things struck me.
1) Bob Woodruff is a bit of a moron. 
2) Bob Woodruff missed out on the dotcom boom entirely.
3) Google has a badass office.
4) If I worked at Google I would take advantage of their offer to use work time for outside projects to wander the hall wedgieing employee after employee.  I would call my project the Underoos Apocalypse.  I am also naming my new band, my personalized license plate, and my first child (if its a girl) that. 

Each time they showed an employee they set back Geek rights 20 years.  Google employees are the Amos and Andy of the Geek world.  They are parody of themselves.  And they won’t hire me.  Bastards.

Where can you find good images?

Writing by Chris on Friday, 20 of January , 2006 at 7:42 pm

I’ve been using Stock Exchange for a while, but they don’t have the biggest selection.

A lot of people ask me where they can get good-quality images, so I thought it would be good to have one post that I could bookmark and send out to people.

Clarkson on the Bugatti Veyron

Writing by Chris on Friday, 20 of January , 2006 at 12:35 pm

I am not a car guy, but I love Top Gear, and Jeremy Clarkson is one of the main reasons why.  Google Video has the Bugatti episode out there, and you really should go check it out. 


At a stroke then, the Veyron has rendered everything I’ve ever said about any other car obsolete. It’s rewritten the rule book, moved the goalposts and in the process, given Mother Nature a bloody nose.

FUH2 - The Poster

Writing by Chris on Wednesday, 18 of January , 2006 at 12:21 pm

You hate Hummers?  Fine.  You build a website to vent your hate?  Bully for you.  You encourage others to take pictures of them express their hate of the Hummer with a single, expressive digit?  Why not.  But making merchandising out of all that?  That’s gold!

Gumball Rally

Writing by Chris on Wednesday, 18 of January , 2006 at 12:00 pm

The 2003 video is available online for free.  And the best part?


It’s narrated by Burt Reynolds (who else?) and features all the characters you don’t know, but probably will when this thing breaks big in a round-the-world event later this year.

G.I. JOE: SPECIAL MISSIONS: MANHATTAN

Writing by Chris on Wednesday, 18 of January , 2006 at 8:38 am

Subtitle: "Second Stringers in NY"

Cover Girl I like to see as a really sharp gal who uses her beauty as a tool to disguise just how sharp she really is. I mean…she’s a model who decided to fight injustice with big noisy guns and whacked out dudes with crazy code names. That’s got to be a fun girl to hang with.

About Me

This is it. I'm not looking to become an Internet star, or buy a house off by adsense moneyz. Though I am willing to go with the flow on either.

You may have noticed that I am not a graphic designer. Or a real programmer. Or race car driver, though that may not be as obvious from the site itself. I apologize for any mistakes, ommisions, or eye gouging graphics choices I may have perpetrated on anyone through ths page
