http://www.journeytothemiddle.com Seven Guys, advancing Mediorcrity, one post at a time.

It’s like dragnet, but the detectives carry calculators in their shoulder holsters. A bunch of the Episodes are on youtube. It’s still cheesy, but there are lots of jokes there’s no ... http://www.journeytothemiddle.com/index.php?p=1127 It’s been a hectic summer for me. Seattle, Denver, Chicago, Charleston, Philadelphia, and New York. And that’s not counting weekend trips for ultimate. I took pictures of all those places, but had the most fun taking them in Philladelphia (and a few in NYC). Partly because ... http://www.journeytothemiddle.com/index.php?p=1126 What did Fox News expect when it decided to report live on location in the middle of a “leftist protest” in Denver? How about a mob spontaneously chanting “F#$% Fox News” on air! H/t Crooks and Liars. Bonus link. http://www.journeytothemiddle.com/index.php?p=1125 Give ‘em haircuts! That’s Denver’s strategy. “Make them all spiffed up for the Democratic National Convention, because they are part of our community as well.” I give two months before this spreads to Seattle… H/T Drudge. http://www.journeytothemiddle.com/index.php?p=1124 Looks like some new technology will make the kind of doctoring we’re capable of in photoshop a realistic possibility for video. The software analyzes the shadows in a video to make a 3D model of the scene. Then it can take still photos of the same scene and ... http://www.journeytothemiddle.com/index.php?p=1123 It’s a little long, but it’s worth watching: It’s a video of an elephant painting a portrait of an elephant, and it’s good. I’m gonna try to do some research and hopefully find out more about this elephant, but in case I don’t get around too it I wanted to share the ... http://www.journeytothemiddle.com/index.php?p=1122 I just watched the trailer for Terminator Salvation. It’s barely more than a teaser, but I’m intrigued by the fact that Christian Bale is playing John Connor. I had assumed ‘Salvation’ would just be an attempt to squeeze some more cash out of the corpse that ... http://www.journeytothemiddle.com/index.php?p=1121 I stumbled upon this really cool post over at Google on Radiohead’s new video for their new CD. They show the video, how they made it using data and so on. This might be old but thought you guys might be interested, was a pretty cool mini page at google ... http://www.journeytothemiddle.com/index.php?p=1120 My boys at Fox ‘n’ Friends are back at it: this time they’re trafficking in rumors regarding a couple of NYT staffers as retribution for publishing a “hit piece” against Fox News. And as if the usual Fox ‘n’ Friends histrionics aren’t amusement enough, the show’s producers decided to ... http://www.journeytothemiddle.com/index.php?p=1119 While it’s not top-to-bottom superb, Sigur Rós’ new album, Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust, has plenty to offer. There are six songs that could have descended from the heavens: Fljótavík; Suð í eyrum; ; Ára bátur; Góðan daginn; Festival; Við spilum endalaust. Where they would have wailed on ... http://www.journeytothemiddle.com/index.php?p=1118
