Do NOT Mess With Little Old Ladies in Texas!

October 10, 2007

This little gem comes from the morning radio show of Roger, Rick and Marilyn over at CHUM FM, and was once again found by my buddy Jimbeau! By the time I was done listening to it, I was laughing so hard it hurt. Let me set the scene for you before you listen to it. [...]

Stevie Wonder Crazy Drum Solo

September 29, 2007

I don’t know about you, but when I think of Stevie Wonder, I imagine him with a huge smile on his face, bobbing his head from side to side while singing and playing the piano. But that’s not all he can do! He also plays the harmonica, congas, drums, bongos, bass guitar, organ, melodica, and [...]

The Humpty Dance

August 17, 2007

Dammit, this just needed to be shared! It’s a little known fact, but I can sing every single word of The Humpty Dance by Digital Underground and sound just like Shock G. Hmmm… come to think of it, how do you know I’m not him? After all, he was always in disguise…

Thumbnail image for How to Negotiate with Sprint PCS During a Contract

The attached recording demonstrates one method of negotiating lower rates with Sprint PCS – even while you are under a contract. I’ve heard anecdotal stories from others that similar tactics work with the other major US cellular carriers as well as cable providers, but I’m not aware of anyone else having actually recorded and supplied [...]

Get Your Virtual Haircut and Other Auditory Illusions

May 13, 2007

My buddy Hrafn over at Think Artificial found this fantastic audio recording that sounds exactly like you’re getting a haircut. I thought it was so cool that I had to do some research. These are called Holophonic sounds and are made to be listened to with headphones. They are recorded with a dummy head that [...]

Free Online Public Radio Programs

April 15, 2007

When I’m driving around I’d say I listen to National Public Radio (NPR) about 50% of the time. So, I decided to figure out how I could listen to it and other public news programs from home. As a result, I found a fantastic Web site called PublicRadioFan.com. PublicRadioFan.com allows you to find a program [...]
