Cable TV’s days are numbered. I say this in the way I say the phonebook’s days are numbered. Sure there are some people (of the *cough* older *cough* nature) that still frequent the physical yellow pages, but I can’t see the number of users doing anything but plummeting soon. No, I have no numbers. I’m using my super-keen 21-year-old intuition… which is as good as gold. Read more…

I’ve been using Google Voice for about a week now, and I thought I’d share a few things I’ve learned along the way, things related to using Google Voice with Verizon Wireless. I wanted and hadn’t seen any resources out there regarding the Verizon + Google Voice duo, so I figured I’d put one together. This is a compilation of various things I’ve found on the Google Voice forums and from other sites.

For those of you who haven’t heard, Google has released a (free) phone management system called Google Voice. This is currently open by invitation only. Sign up here if you’re interested. Google Voice allows you to have all of your phones ring, during the times you’ve set, when somebody calls your Google Voice number… and a lot more. Opposed to rattling off all the GV features, I’ll let you check out the video Google has posted (see below). It gives you a pretty good overview.

On to the important stuff.

I, along with a group of friends, got bored the other night, and we stumbled upon this YouTube video. Who knew this guy’s name was so hard to pronounce. I’ll keep it short and sweet. Here’s the video.

Note: This is a “redo” of a previous post I had. I posted this video on YouTube, got close to a thousand views in a few days, then received a copyright notification from Fox. I don’t think they’ll complain if I post it here. If so, down she’ll go, like Stewie and Brian in the raft.

So for the last year or so, I didn’t watch Family Guy at any level of regularity, mainly because of the lack of DVR. I watched pretty much every season about 2 years ago, and I was borderline obsessed with it. However, with time, I’d grown tired of the mediocre plots, similar humor, and the… obscure randomness. I’d moved on to much more distinguished shows like Arrested Development and the Office

Now that I’m in a house at school with guys willing to pay for DVR, I’ve started watching a bit more than I had been. I sat down to watch the “Road to Germany” episode with some of the guys the other night, and while most of it was nothing exceptional, Stewie had a quote that made me laugh for about several minutes straight. I hadn’t laughed that hard at a TV show/movie for I don’t know how long.

Check out the link to the video I uploaded below. The quote is right around the 15 second mark. I seriously think it’s the funniest part I’ve ever seen in Family Guy.

Family Guy – We’re Not Sinking!

For those of you who haven’t seen the Onion’s latest video about Apple’s “Revolutionary New Laptop,” you should check out the video below. Ha ha, it’s been awhile since I’d seen an Onion vid, and this didn’t disappoint. The guy at the end talking about the reasons he was going to buy it was hilarious. Let’s hope all of us Apple supporters don’t really sound like that…

I’m impressed by how real that thing looks… props to you Onion guys (… and girls).
