‘Daily Show’ mocks Cheney’s ‘secret secrets’

'Daily Show' mocks Cheney's 'secret secrets'

"Dick Cheney exists neither in the executive branch nor the legislative, yet simultaneously in both," 'Daily Show' correspondent John Oliver adds. "He is neither man nor beast, yet has elements of the twain. He is at once everything and nothing, substance without form, shape without motion, time without reason... he is the Highlander."

This is really funny. Unfortunately, I can't quite track down the info to embed the video. So check the link for the video.

  • Yeah, not so productive today. Oh well #
  • Why the hell am I cursed? WMP11 just stopped working for no reason last night, and now IE7 refuses to work with Flash? What the hell? #
  • 1. Flash broke itself in IE7, 2. I noticed my water cooling leaked, 3. WMP11 still does not work. -- Who the fuck did I piss off today? #

Automate computer settings by network with Net Profiles

Automate computer settings by network with Net Profiles

Windows only: Freeware application Net Profiles lets you automate tasks—like mapping network drives or switching the default printer—based on the network your computer is currently connected to.

Every once in a while you come across an application that fits so perfectly into a need that you have. For anyone with a laptop, this one is for you. Using this handy little application (that is free by the way), you setup each of your "profiles" one time, and after that it is as simple as double clicking the profile in the future. What does this profile include? It includes your network settings, your default printer settings, any mapped network drives you have, and it can even change your display settings (wallpaper, icons, resolution).

Think about it: you're at home with your wallpaper, your icons, your lower resolution (so you can actually see things), your printer, and your custom home network settings including your home network shares. Now you have to take your laptop to work. Click one button and your work wallpaper, icons, resolution (higher resolution = productivity right?), printer, and custom network settings including work network shares are instantly swapped.

It just works that wonderfully.

UGK featuring Outkast – International Player’s Anthem

A very funny music video, and it has a great beat. Definitely worth a watch.

In order based on the song:
Andre 300's verse - 9/10 (I always like his stuff)
Pimp C's verse - 8/10
Bun B's verse - 9/10 (he killed it)
Big Boi's verse - 7/10 (he's way better than this)
