Thundarr the Barbarian. Ookla is such a rip-off Chewbacca, but he’s still the best character. Thanks to Barry for digging this one up.
Adult Swim did an updated version called “Korgoth of Barbaria”. It never got greenlighted. Such as shame. Ultra-violent just like your Saturday morning cartoons should be.
I don’t read The Onion too much now, but I loved this article during the Gore vs. Bush election.
Also here’s my favorite headline:
Jenna Bush’s Federally Protected Wetlands Now Open For Public Drilling
This American Life did an interesting episode on how the staff picks the headlines each week called Tough Crowd.
“Going public, being acquired, or merging with another company is a skewed measure of success. It’s easy to measure for a study, but it’s barely what really defines success for most entrepreneurs. How about sustainable profits, loving your work, and making a dent in your universe?” – Jason Fried – 37signals
I’ve worked for a number of different agencies whose sole focus was going public or being acquired, otherwise known as the “exit strategy”. This is not a strategy for running a business. If the number one goal of the leadership is to “sell out”, you can pretty much bet they are not focused on the things you care about most. In the “exit strategy” environment, you will not work on the things you love. You will work on the things that help create the illusion of a successful company.
Or you will get a message like this…
Pissed off DBA (aka Charles D.)
I’ve posted this before, but I just can’t get over how incredibly crazy this guy looks. His eyes are way, way too far apart. Also is he an albino? Why does he have flowers? Did he do something bad, like eat his girlfriend’s cat? So many questions…
Check him out now. Kinda Roy Orbison with blonde hair
8-bit hip hop medley through Super Nintendo system. Nice job. (via Coudal Partners)
When does the threat level go to green, when all the terrorists are dead?
This is fascinating to watch. I would love to see what would happen if there were 2 or even 3 babies in the same room. UFC cage match anyone?
