Twouble with Twitter and Whore

April 17th, 2009 No comments

Many people have seen Twouble with Twitter, as it was somewhat “viral” for a while. But have you seen “Twitter Whore“? It’s kinda cheesy and silly, but for some reason I find it hilarious. Over the top.

PS:
Here’s Part 2. Not as good as the first one, though.

Addendum:
You can now purchase a Twitter Whore t-shirt!

Old TV Ads for Computers

November 1st, 2006 1 comment

“A Brief History of Computers, As Seen in Old TV Ads” is a really cool article by PC World, so I just had to share. It’s about past television ads for computers and contains many of them embedded on the page to view (via YouTube). The commercials include Atari 400, Commodore 64, Apple Macintosh, Tandy 1000, IBM, and many more. Brings back the old days when I was a kid and my brother and I would write funny BASIC programs and save them on a special cassette tape recorder (seriously). And didn’t we all just love the dot matrix printers, monocrome monitors, and powerful 133Mhz processors?
