geekdom

I think we’ve all been tempted to go Office Space on our work equipment and this is possibly the funniest take on that idea that I’ve ever seen.

Not even I am enough of a geek to want this bed.

To any of you who doubt that the world will be coming to a terrible end soon, let me show you one of the signs of the coming Apocalypse.

It’s a an electric toothbrush with a remote monitor.

In the words of Lewis Black:
” … the left hand side of the brain looks at the right hand side and goes, ‘It’s dark in here, and we may die.’”

I’ve just been watching a series of four or five minute clips of a show called Miniscule on YouTube, and I am utterly transfixed. The first one that I caught was a very rude ladybug who torments both a spider and then flies — and there’s the most outstanding animated aerial chase I’ve seen in ages. And then there’s the love story.  This is really, really good stuff, especially for such short films. I love the combination of animation and real video footage, and the sound effects are classic.

Pixar’s classic For The Birds is this good, but for everything else, I’m with Miniscule.

I would never use this, but the idea of making someone’s windows shake and their monitor turn off and on cracks me up.
