The Alp D’Huizze!

Know what I mean? Fo’ Sho’. Know what I mean D’Huizze!

Just a quick note on what I have been really excited about this week.

I recently figured out that my suit pants that I haven’t worn for the past 9 months, just don’t fit like they used to. Yes, I’m getting older and my activity level just isn’t matching my lifestyle anymore. So after buying a pair of new running shoes and remembering that I’m not a big fan of running I have figured out what I will be doing to stay active.

I bought a road bike! Yea, the LeMond Alpe D’Huiz you see there on the right is my new baby. I have my eyes set on the STP ’09 (Seattle to Portland in two days). I bought the bike last night and was already able to get myself out of bed early this morning to go for a four mile ride. It was a great way to start the morning and the bike was alotof fun. I can’t wait to ride it more and get to the point that I can start riding with some friends who are much more experiences, wear much more spandex, and are in much better shape.

Weezer’s new video will go viral

Leave it to Weezer to put together the king of all viral music videos. They took the internets biggest viral videos, added their song and now they have their own viral video. I love that they how they have K-Fed, Miss Teen South Carolina, the Numa Numa guy, changing the words and actions to fit this video. Makes it even better.

[Update] Just found a montage of all of the videos referenced in the video, for those of you not up on your viral videos. Couldn’t embed it, so head over to Valleywag if you want to see it.

Working NES Controler table!

Posted by Otis Kimzey on May 11, 2008 in Random | Comments Off

Basically the coolest coffee table ever.

I saw some pictures of this table earlier in the night, but figured it was just a table that let you push the buttons.  I was wrong, this table is an actual working NES controller!  Pretty amazing.

To bad it won’t work with my newest videogame obsession, Mario Kart Wii!

OSU’s “Doin’ Work”

Do Work

If you’re a fan of OSU Football, you have probably heard that the defensive moto for next year is “Do Work” taken from MTV’s Rob & Big.  I love the show, so seeing two things I really enjoy come together made me think that I had to do something about it.  I made a shirt.

If you don’t know where I got the inspiration for this shirt at, check out Big Black’s clothing line.  I took into account, Al Afalava’s initials AA, his number #9, and the fact that he will be one of the key contributors to OSU’s stelar secondary next year.  All of these, mixed with the nod to the “Double B’s” makes it a must own for those Rob & Big or Afalava fans in Corvallis (or anywhere).

Here’s my store where you can buy the Afalava Do Work shirt.  Let me know if you get one, and if so, take a picture and send it in.

Michael Arrington on Twitter

Michael Arrington gave me this plug earlier today.  Not bad to have a rave review like that for the internet resume.  Everyone listen to Arrington, he knows what is going on in the tech and startup world.  His comment gave me 20 new followers within about 5 minutes, kinda fun.  Now I need to make sure I’m updating my blog and twittering the most amazing 140 character messages there are.

You know where you can find me on twitter if you’re on there already.
