I’ve been listening to this song for months now. The band is 3OH!3 with Katy Perry doing some vocals. These guys are hilarious and Katy Perry is pretty much the hottest woman on the planet so enjoy!

Art in sand

Posted by 2toad

This video is of Kseniya Simonova depicting the invasion of the Ukraine by the Germans in World War 2. She does this to music in real-time with only sand and light. Its amazing.

I love this song and one day I would really like to see TSO live. Until then I’ll just watch this guys great home lighting set up. Merry Christmahanakwanzika everyone!

Last Minutes with ODEN

Posted by 2toad

I don’t have the words to describe how powerful this little six minute youtube video is. The best I can do is tell you that this is a documentary about the last minutes Jason Wood spent with his best friend Oden. Its shot incredibly well, but more than that, they are able to capture this mans life and the pain he experiences in doing what he feels has to be done. I normally try not to get too serious here, but this clip touched me. I have to tell you as someone who has had to say goodbye to his friend in this manner, it was probably the most difficult thing I ever had to do. There is a span of time during this act where you literally watch the life drain from their eyes. It is horrible to be a part of and something you can never forget. Our best friends deserve to be remembered and Jason has made sure that I as a complete stranger will remember his pal Oden.

The video is below. (YOU WILL CRY!)

Geek is a way of life

Posted by 2toad

A few months ago I came across the video promoting the “Society for Geek Advancement”. I didn’t link to it right away because to be honest I don’t think all of the people in the video can be called true geeks. Don’t get me wrong I really do respect some of them like Leo Laport, Wil Wheaton, Levar Burton, Justine Ezarik, Kevin Rose, and of course the Woz. I’m sure I’m forgetting many more. The problem is they seem to be confusing geek with hipster blogger. I’m not saying you can’t be both by any means, but with the exception of the ones I have mentioned there didn’t seem to be very many “true geeks” on that list. I’m not going to go into a long explanation about what a “true geek” is but most people know if they are, or at least know it when they see it. Any way, here is the video followed by another explaining “geek speak”. Enjoy.

Flame on!

Posted by 2toad

Just came across one of the coolest videos ever. This is Everett showing off the third version of his Prometheus device flame thrower. This guy is a true inventor and deserves to win some kind of award or something. Then again, this kind of seems like how most super villains get their start.

Welcome to my site, my name is 2toad. I'm a slacker of the highest order and computer geek with an opinion about everything. Take a look around and leave a comment or two. Enjoy!
