The Revenge of The Bleep Bleep

Posted on by

I have great news. Some of the cast of The Screen Savers (prior to G4 take over) are getting together to make a weekly audio broadcast called The Revenge of The Screen Savers. Now the name of the show is a working title due to the fact that G4 still has the rights to name “The Screen Savers”. For now it’s just “The Revenge Of The *COMING SOON*” :-) . So far Leo Laporte, Kevin Rose, Patrick Norton, Yoshi and Robert Heron are doing the audio broadcast. Apparently they are using Skype to record the broadcast with each other. Pretty cool if you ask me. I’ve yet to use Skype but I’m setup to try with someone that has an account there. So far I’m not convinced to use it since to me why not use the audio features built into your favorite instant messenger which most people have. Anyways “The Revenge of The *COMING SOON*” already has two episodes released. I highly recommend checking this content out. I’m a big fan of all these guys and always keep up to date on what they are up to. It would be great to meet some of them or even do some tech segments with them.

AOTS – Gigantic NES Controller

Posted on by

This has got to be the coolest gadget I’ve seen yet. On Attack of The Show (Monday, March 28th, 2005) Kevin Rose and Kevin Pereira showcased the world’s largest NES controller, so they claim :-) . I would love to have the time to just say I made something like this. Yes this makes me a big geek but so what it’s sooooo cool! Check it out for yourself by viewing the online video plus extra behind the scene footage not shown on Attack of The Show.

Millionaire

Posted on by

Before going to Europe on business, a man drove his Rolls-Royce to a downtown New York City bank and went in to ask for an immediate loan of $5000. The loan officer, taken aback, requested collateral. “Well, then, here are the keys to my Rolls-Royce“, the man said. The loan officer promptly had the car driven into the bank’s underground parking for safe keeping, and gave him $5000.

Two weeks later, the man walked through the bank’s doors, and asked to settle up his loan and get his car back. “The will be $5000 in principal, and $15.40 in interest”, the loan officer said. The man wrote out a check and started to walk away.

“Wait sir”, the loan officer said, “while you were gone, I found out you are a millionaire. Why in the world would you need to borrow $5000?”

The man smiled. “Where else could I park my Rolls-Royce in Manhattan for two weeks and pay $15.40?”
