Here’s the latest product announcement from Apple: Apple Introduces Revolutionary New Laptop With No Keyboard Did I mention that this was from The Onion? I suspect this is an older video, but I hadn’t seen it before. ..bruce w..
I ran across this some months back and just found a link to it again. Some how appropriate for New Year’s Day (though it might have been more appropriate for New Year’s Eve): The time it took to put this together is a bit staggering. But impressive. ..bruce w..
Courtesy of Ace of Spades comes the most reviled, most wretched “holiday special” ever produced. First, here’s the Vanity Fair article to give you the entire ugly background: In the summer of 1978, Bruce Vilanch had a bad feeling about the Star Wars television special he’d been hired to write. A veteran of the comedy […]

Orin Kerr, over at the Volokh Conspiracy, is attempting to find (and I quote) “the single cheesiest Lawrence Welk clip on YouTube.” Here’s his current nominee: Let’s see: ridiculous outfits — check. Ridiculous dance moves — check. A bland orchestra rendition of a Captain & Tennille song that manages to remove whatever […]
In case you don’t know, there is a trend on the internet known as Rickrolling: Rickrolling is an Internet meme typically involving the music video for the 1987 Rick Astley song “Never Gonna Give You Up”. The meme is a bait and switch: a person provides a Web link they claim is relevant to the […]
