While we all have to wait a few more hours until the real Apple Keynote, you just have to love The Onion sometimes; I am SO the customer in this video lol.
Mac Geek note; in the video the spotlight icon in the top right and the blue hint in the top left show that the MacBook Wheel is running OSX 10.4 Tiger and Apple ships all new machines with OSX 10.5 Leopard which has black icons now.. *geek snort* lol. Note to self; get a life! :)
NB. For the easily confused; this is a joke video made by The Onion who make fake news articles for the funnies. To clarify; THIS IS NOT REAL! Glad we got that cleared up lol.
I found this marvellous video today via Caroline’s blog; it asks, with an interesting use of the English language, the question; “what would you wish to happen by the end of today?”
Its a really tough one; do you want world peace? Sure, but unless you’re the president of the USA then you can’t really achieve that in a day. This video got me thinking though, I thought to myself that maybe if I started every day with that same question and set myself the goal of achieving it what kind of difference would that make on my life? I think I might give it a go for a week at some point when I’m at uni, it’s always good to try and achieve more with your day isn’t it?
So here’s there question for you, dear reader; What do you wish to happen by the end of today?
And yet some how is in much better shape than I am? Go figure..!?
Flavour of the month, and now now 14 time Olympic gold medallist; 23 yearold Michael Phelps spends a lot of time training in the pool, that combined with the fact that he is mostly made of muscle means consuming a lot more calories than the average man. The recommended number for most men of his age is 2,550 calories but Phelps consumes between 8,000 and 10,000 a day;his means eating a LOT of food.
Phelps’ Breakfast Consists of:
- 3 fried egg sandwiches with cheese, lettuce, fried onions & mayonnaise.
- An omelet.
- A bowl of grits.
- 3 slices of french toast with powdered sugar.
- and finally.. 3 chocolate chip pancakes. [Source Serious Eats]
Sounds delicious doesn’t it? I just hope he waits 30 minutes before getting in the pool..
While researching this post I stumbled across The Guardian’s John Henley’s attempt at eating a Phelps’ sized breakfast though I have to admit that Collage Humour’s rendition is far more entertaining; seeing if one man can eat Michael Phelps’ breakfast faster than he can swim, click here for the video.
I had planned to embed the video above BUT I don’t seem to be able to embed Collage Humour videos in wordpress..Boo!
If you’ve ever worked in an office you’ll know that they all have their conflicts; be it the fun-loving youths v. the old fogies, the enthusiastic hard workers v. the lethargic, the managers v. the temps, IT v. sales, or whatever. There is ALWAYS some kind of conflict bubbling under the surface and if we can’t all just get along then why not just get it out of our systems?
I poached this video (below) from Ben Millett, I think it’s an example of how these things might be better handled without the passive aggressive- behaviour, (and is it just me or does it tend to be the management who are the most passive aggressive of all?)
