Google’s annual April Fool’s day joke was pretty creative: AutoPilot to automatically respond to your e-mail messages. There was also PC World’s article about the new TiVo that can record shows before they air (the TiVo SuperAdvance) that I thought was cute. Other than that, I really didn’t see a lot of other tom-foolery. However, …
Since I have TiVo, a commercial has to really catch my attention at 3x fast-forward in order for me to stop, rewind, and watch it. That’s exactly what Gatorade’s latest ad campaign, “The Quest for G,” did. The film is a hilarious cinematic re-creation of “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” starring sports stars such …
Not safe for work, but pretty frickin’ hilarious. Really sums up the current state of the consumer electronics industry, doesn’t it? 🙂

Palm is finally starting to do some advertising, and the latest round of Santa’s Gone Centro videos are pretty funny. I’m looking forward to CES next week as Palm …
Every Sunday night my daughter and I hop online and play Mario Kart Wii against my siblings (and other friends) for about an hour. It’s great fun. Check out this live version of Mario Kart created by Rémi Gaillard. Do not attempt at home! 🙂
Just in time for the holidays! What timing … just last week I posted about the 20th anniversary of “Mystery Science Theater 3000” and the (former) Best Brains’ current endeavor, “Cinematic Titanic.” What should I find in my inbox this morning?
