John does it again. I’ve been waffling on this issue, but am leaning toward phone encryption. John Oliver’s report on the subject isn’t only hilarious, it’s balanced and informative. And there’s a great mock iPhone ad at the end that sums everything up quite well too.
And I still don’t like that terrorism is used as the justification for unlocking encryption. I think that religious white males with access to firearms would be a better tactic.
James Randi: informative and entertaining. In this video he discusses the archeological evidence, or lack thereof, for Nazareth. Does the fictional status of Nazareth equate to the fictional status of Jesus (and therefore God and salvation)? Yes. I believe it’s just another nail in the coffin.
I especially enjoy the jet coming in from the top left.
Turn it again by the Red Hot Chili Peppers from Stadium Arcadium. All around a great album, and this song is nearly perfect.
“We’ve got to move it just a little to hit the spot.”
If you’re a fan of The Walking Dead, I’m sure you’ll find this Bad Lip Reading beyond mildly entertaining.
This is the kind of commentary I can get behind. I could easily make my wife a football widow if this were the real deal.
This is from the 2003 Greatest Hits CD. You can download it from iTunes here.
All in all, I think the ad is overly dramatic. Maybe Samsung should’ve taken the bug off of the guy’s face (at the end of the video). The ninja chicks are cool though. And what’s with the goat?
What a great excerpt! I had shoulder surgery a couple of years ago. I became addicted to Percocet. I didn’t know it until I started to get off it and I became sick.
I didn’t get to his point, but I relate to that “ahhh” feeling. When I got off of it, it was like stepping out of a cloud that I didn’t even know that I was in.
Opiates are incredibly powerful drugs. They feel great but will turn you into something you didn’t know you could be.
If you’re on prescription pain pills, talk to your doctor about any past histories of addiction (personal or familial). It’s silly easy to get refills. Watch yourself and have people watch you. It’s serious.

This is an excerpt of a commencement speech given by David Foster Wallace to the graduating class of Kenyon College in 2005. And it’s absolutely wonderful.
