Are you hip? Have you wanted certain movies on DVD and have had to wait? Well I’m happy to tell (in case you didn’t know) the Indiana Jones movies are on DVD now. It’s a 4 disc set that just came out. You can get it in pan and scan or widescreen and it’s about 50 bucks for the set. I looked like Indy in the screen capture of course when I picked up my copy at Walmart on the 21st at 12:30am. Yeah I’m a geek.

What you get is the three movies and one bonus disk with a bunch of stuff. What you don’t get is any commentaries or deleted scenes. I’m not complaining mind you.

Now all I need to be happy in life is the original Star Wars films on DVD. And I want both the original un digitized version and the super duper digitally enhanced versions. It’s just that I want to see Han shoot first. And I want commentaries damn it.

It’s Gawain’s fault. I want that to be known in advance. But I’m like totally mesmerized by this. But I’m getting ahead of myself. When at work I kind of depend on Gawain, he keeps me entertained while I’m at work. He sends me funky links, music, just all kinds of shit. But this latest one just is strange.

It has to be seen and heard to understand. Below are six screen captures of this video. To play it you need the latest Real Player. You can find a copy of it here (hopefully, work internet blocks Real.com). Once your good to go with the software follow this link to the video (local copy) or here (external link) if mine doesn’t work.

Of course it’s this video that just blows my mind. I did a little research on the dude who sings it with varying results. I really only want to know what the hell the dude is singing. Because the video is a trip. I’m not sure what the hell is going on in it.The guy is named Daler Mehndi. He has a website even, which can be found here. If you dig this guys music and need more head over top this fan page here which offers a few more Real files and a few mp3. And if you really fancy this guy and his music you can become an ordained minister in his religion. I even found a link to a page about the cars this dude owns, which has a funny quote:

“I went to America in 1986 when I was in my teens but kept coming back to India to pursue my singing career. In the US, where my brother had a cab company and 16 cars, I have driven Chevrolets, a Mustang, Lincolns and Cadillacs,” said Daler.

I only mention it just because of the stereotype one assumes about people from that part of the world. Strange stuff. But oddly entertaining. Remember you have been warned.

Some times the humor of a situation escapes me. This forum post made me want to just say whatever kind words I could muster. I figured I would try to contact the person that made the post. But I’m not sure of how to do that. So I tried iming the hotmail account that’s in the last post over at Chrome’s site. I wasn’t sure who the account belonged to so I tried to just get a conversation going. This is the response I got:

Now death hasn’t been something I’m good at dealing with. When given the chance to prepare for it, I do ok. But when it just happens I kind of have a hard time. I didn’t know Chrome for as long and as well as some other people. But the response I got wasn’t what I expected. It kind of pissed me off to be honest.

I didn’t act in my usual hostile manner. I just exited politely. And maybe this all shouldn’t bother me as much as it does. But it does. Chrome passing has been hard for me. I guess it goes back to the post Band Of Brothers. But I didn’t take into consideration the thought of losing these “virtual friends” I have made.

Maybe it’s more than that. Maybe it’s because I saw a lot of me in Chrome. Enough for this to bother me as much as it is. Maybe it makes me realize my mortality. I don’t know. I don’t have any answers. I’m not even sure of the questions. Maybe it’s just me. That’s to many maybes.

I can’t personally stress how much I like Ad-aware. Because I just hate spyware so much. My hate for spyware equals my hate for spam. Some people at work don’t understand these kinds of things though. Look at the below screenshot and ask yourself would I click yes or no on the Security Warning window?

Well someone here at the hotel clicked yes. They clicked yes lots of times. Take a look at this cut and paste of Ad-aware results after doing a scan. It makes me wonder sometimes. But thanks to good old Ad-aware the work computer is back to normal.

Lets face it folks this Webcam S.O.T.D. thing is getting boring. There is only so many ways a guy can take a picture of an ashtray.

And of course it’s no fun when they empty the ashtray out. Of course it was a half ass empty. Theres still ashes in the ashtray.

Well I was off seven days (yes seven) and came back to work happily to find the “rules applying to everyone” still. So to commemorate the start of me working seven days in a row I give you the start of seven days worth of Webcam S.O.T.D.

All I can say about the first picture is at least it’s not hidden under the desk any more. The second picture is to keep the playing field even. Here is my attempt making sure the rules don’t apply to everyone.

It’s a special Webcam S.O.T.D. this time around. Two pictures which are a tool for me to teach everyone a word that fits this situation. Hypocrisy is the word and here are the two pictures:

The first picture is a sign that says non-smoking room, which we all know it isn’t because we have the second picture of the used ashtray hidden under the desk still.

Hypocrisy ladies and gentlemen plain and simple.
