If you’re like me, you really can’t find a better image for your iPhone wallpaper than the default Earth. Really, it does rock. But alas! I have an alternative that will hopefully please you immensely. If you know how to add wallpaper, here’s the Earth on Fire iPhone wallpaper image. How to add it to [...]

FAIL: Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Sign photos
While in Las Vegas for the Rock n Roll Marathon and Half Marathon, Lindsey and I took three trips out to the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Sign to snap some “jumping” pictures. The sign is a 10-minute walk south of Mandalay Bay along the Las Vegas Strip. I had been to Las Vegas many [...]
The album cover game on Facebook
It’s bound to happen when Facebook’s template starts to be used for different things other than what it was designed for. The “Tag Photo” feature is a great addition to Facebook, even though it allows friends to see pictures of me that are not so flattering (like high school pics). Users can remove a tag [...]
Green beans and a tube sock
My personal trainer is friends with some bouncers at a few nightclubs here in St. Louis. In the middle of my workout this morning, he tells me that ladies purses are now being checked as they enter the bar–for a can of green beans and a tube sock. It’s a form of self-defense where they [...]
Revolving Tower = AWESOME
Nothing can explain just how awesome this idea is. I only wish it would be closer, like Vegas. There are plans for the world’s first revolving tower, which will be located in Dubai. According to Building.co.uk, the 80-story tower would offer residents an ever-shifting view of the Persian Gulf as the floors spin round a [...]
Folding a shirt in 2 seconds
I fail at this. Maybe I need a flat surface. Seems so simple. I may just leave the clothes in the hamper and pull them out as needed. Who knows. Best of luck to anyone who succeeds in quick folding.
HowManyFiveYearOldsCouldYouTakeInAFight?
How many five year olds could you take in a fight? Seriously, that’s the name of the website: http://www.howmanyfiveyearoldscouldyoutakeinafight.com While flying to Dallas a couple weeks ago, I was reading over the shoulder of the guy next to me, and this web site appeared in the Southwest Airlines magazine. You should be proud of me [...]
Sponsored hurricane names
Our web producer Jill sent me the list of Hurricane names for 2008, which are: Arthur Bertha Christobal Dolly Edouard Fay Gustav Hanna Ike Josephine Kyle Laura Marco Nana Omar Paloma Rene Sally Teddy Vicky Wilfred But what if they were sponsored…we laugh, but what if that’s a possibility to pay off national debt or [...]
Crazy inventions you wear
I can’t believe this exists, yet I know creative minds wander and come up with this kind of stuff. I guess there’s a market for this, especially with $8 stadium beers and the inability to bring your own cooler to concerts. It’s called THE WINE RACK. The website that sells it says “My cups runneth [...]
Wrong burger? Call 911
Some lady calls 911 and complains that Burger King messed up her burger order. She wants them to bring the police down to “protect” her. This is audio only. Hilarious!
Future outdated phrases
Remember when we used to say “make a cassette copy” or “fax me that paperwork”? What phrases do we say now that will end up dating ourselves? How about: Now on DVD! “Logon” to blahblahblah.com Check your voicemail
2007 Word of the Year
Any guesses? Merriam-Webster went towards technology this year with their selection. “W00t,” a hybrid of letters and numbers used by gamers as an exclamation of happiness or triumph, topped all other terms in the Springfield-based dictionary publisher’s online poll for the word that best sums up 2007, according to an AP article. The official definition [...]
Behold–The Ruler
I had just sold three items on eBay today and was printing out my shipping label when USPS asked me for the dimensions of one of the boxes. To my surprise, I could not find a ruler ANYWHERE! I tried folding a piece of paper in half, that way I can rough estimate 5″ or [...]
Poor Van Halen–out of tune! Whoa!
Van Halen performed “Jump” in concert in North Carolina in September 2007, and the keyboard track must have been pitched too high, resulting in this heck of a mess. No one seemed to have noticed in the crowd, but you may notice at times when he tries to cover for being so out of tune. [...]

Prepare to Laugh: Wii Baby
In the surreal world of YouTube fame, any video can become the next big thing, as the parents of Theo (aka “Baby laughing at the Wii”) discovered earlier this year. After a slow start, the only video they’ve ever uploaded to YouTube has accumulated nearly two million views!!

Get you love drunk off my hump…
Here are two versions of the song “My Humps”. Black Eyed Peas had a hit first, then Alanis Morissette followed. Take a look at the two versions below… Alanis Morissette‘s version of “My Humps” (which is psychotically WEIRD, yet funny) …and the original version by the Black Eyed Peas. Alanis had a hand in changing [...]
Mary Poppins Remix
Have you seen this ‘remix’ of the Mary Poppins Movie? It’s genious. Well edited, using clips from the actual movie. No wonder I was scared of this movie when I was a kid…and I thought it was just the creepy guys dancing on the rooftops!
Best/Worst alarm clock
I’m sure you’ve heard them all…alarm clocks with crazy features to help get you out of bed. I’ve read about ones that squelch a 120-decibel alarm (like a rock concert volume), and even ones that bounce around and roll all over your room when it goes off, hoping you’d get up and chase it…even ones [...]
My favorite lyrics…ever
Remember that dance song “Around the World” by Daft Punk? It came out in the late ’90s. Well, I thought I’d post the lyrics, because there’s SO MUCH thought in them… Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world [...]
Funny words
My girlfriend and I were laughing about words that just sound funny, and I remember doing this bit on the air when I worked as a producer for the Phillips & Company Morning Show on Y98FM. Some that made me laugh as I thought about it throughout the day… Cummerbund Thwart Gourd Salve Podunk Cankles [...]
