Lately on my way to work I’ve noticed a new coaster rising above lowly Buena Park. Westcoaster’s got photos of the Silver Bullet, now being assembled at Knott’s.

I had to stop at the Home Depot near my house this morning, and as luck would have it they were filming an employee training video there today! There were lights and cameras and people with walkie talkies all over the place. There was even an satellite hookup trailer in the parking lot marked “Internet Everywhere” – although I’m not sure why that was there.

You’ll find me in that video as “Background Customer With Shopping Cart #1″ as I slyly walked behind the actors during a take – on purpose! I’m pretty sure I made it into the shot, but I’ll never really know for sure. Nobody told me not to walk there, so I did!

My acting career begins now.

With the help of the Red Meat Construction Set, I have assembled my first web comic!

I call it Ceiling Dancing.

Dish Network subscribers, get ready for the 2004 Olympics!

Once the Olympics start, tune in to channel 9910. It will contain six TV screens showing six different channels each carrying Olympics coverage simultaneously – and it also includes six corresponding alternate audio tracks so that you can pick which station you’d like to listen to.

That cool or what?

Monday Morning Flash: Megaman vs Ghosts ‘n Goblins

Disneyland has its 49th birthday tomorrow. Expect some kind of PR event in the morning when more 50th anniversary plans are unveiled. Annual Passports are rumored to get a lot more expensive starting tomorrow, too.

I dunno man…Knott’s is practically a hop skip and a jump away from Disneyland, and their passes are only $150. Tempting!

Two clinical studies (1, 2) have shown that using Listerine twice a day is as effective as flossing your teeth once a day. Of course both were sponsored by Pfizer, makers of Listerine, but they wouldn’t make a claim like this if it weren’t true.

Of course, Pfizer says you shouldn’t stop flossing, but that’s just to cover their asses. I say we all stop flossing and start swishing!

Nobody has time to floss – but everybody can swish some liquid around in their mouth for 30 seconds. It’s easy!

Molvania may be a ficticious country, but they’re home to a talented bunch of musicians.

Huh? Corporation has the best corporate website ever.
