John Hodgman, funny and meaningful as always

Monday, June 22nd, 2009

John Hodgman was the headliner at the White House Correspondent’s dinner last night, and the intertubes have his speech up already.  It’s classic Hodgman, both humorous and meaningful.  Check it out on the ‘tube.

The Daily Show on the Large Hadron Collider

Friday, May 1st, 2009

The Daily Show did a great bit on the LHC last night with John Oliver.  And, yes, they interview the guy that is suing to shut it down.  It’s amazing that after all the media coverage he got it took the daily show to ask the question:

WW: “It’s a chance, it’s a 50/50 chance.”

JO: “You keep coming back to this 50/50 chance, it’s weird Walter.”

WW: “If you have something that can happen, and something that won’t necessarily happen, it’s either going to happen or not happen.  And… so… best guess it’s 1 in 2″

JO: “… I’m not sure that’s how probability works Walter.”

Me: “Um… if you scroll down to the end of the xm man page, you’ll see that I wrote it.”

I was amused. :)

The Bro Code … actually printed

Wednesday, January 7th, 2009

Leave it to Carter and Craig to not only invent the Bro Code for How I Met Your Mother, but to then go about an actually write a 200 page book with the whole thing in there and publish it.  I am so tempted to get this.
