There's some bunch out there taking videos, deleting the audio, and replacing it with lip-readings. This video is so funny. The new audio really does seem to be what the candidates are saying.

There's some real skill involved here, to both "read" what seems to fit the mouth movements, AND make it make sense (sort of).

3269 Aaaaargh!
Sunday, May 29, 2011
This is today's Dilbert. It struck a chord with me, and not in a good way. That guy on the right, Asok, I think? That was me in The Company. I got so sick and tired of other people getting awards for things I did.

3268 Orb of Madness
Friday, May 27, 2011
This video was on CuteOverload.com a few days ago, under the title ""Reginald Locates the Orb of Madness".
I loved it.

3168 Life is what happens when you're not looking
Saturday, February 19, 2011
Got this one from my sister - Homemade Implants:
--------------------------------
I haven't been here in a few days. Haven't really been keeping up with others' blogs, either. I guess I've been busy.
Thursday evening I drove northwest to have dinner with the Southern Orange Mensa sub-group. It was supposed to be a 1.5 hour drive, but it took two because I followed the GPS, and he took me down tiny roads, through areas with traffic lights every quarter mile, during rush hour, finishing up with a narrow winding road through the mountains, in the dark. It took two harrowing hours, which, given the route and time of day, was pretty good time. I don't think I'll use the GPS for that trip any more. I'll go north on the highways, then ask his opinion just for the cut over to the west.
After leaving there, I drove northeast another 1.25 hours to the old house.
On Friday I filled more bags and boxes to throw out, recycle, sell, and bring back here. It's still pretty overwhelming. I visited Piper and his daughter at their office before heading back here. Piper was pretty low. His favorite sister had gone into the hospital for surgery in early January, and picked up a MRSA infection that rapidly shut down organs, starting with her kidneys. It's been touch and go since then.
He'd gotten the call Thursday afternoon that she had maybe 48 hours, so he and his niece were wait-listed on a flight to Florida early Saturday morning. Holiday weekend. Bad for travel. Piper's elderly mother is in poor health, and the family had not told her that her daughter was so ill, hoping for a miracle to make it unnecessary, so now Piper is worried about what this will do to his mother.
And, as if all that isn't enough, it looks like his housemate may be having a recurrence of breast cancer.
Not a good week for Piper.
We went to the diner for coffee, and ended up eating an early dinner.
--------------------------------
Just before meeting with Piper, as I was putting the last things into the car, The Hunk came barreling up the driveway. (It's funny, but whenever I see him driving up, he looks like a Mountie.) We talked for a while. It might have been longer, but I had to head down to Peter's office.
Anyway, the Suzy the Suzuki is still there, and he suggested that I start her. I haven't started her on the last few visits because she's been pretty much buried in snow. So, we stomped down the snow on the passenger side so we could get the door open, and I crawled across and started her. Good Girl! She started right up!
Then she started blowing smoke into the passenger cabin. Nothing coming out from under the hood, but definite smoke inside. Turned her off, checked under the hood, nothing burning. Gave it up for now. Next trip north we'll have to figure it out. Maybe a mouse nest in the heater? A belt rubbing? Whatever....
--------------------------------
Today I've been sorting and laundering and distributing what I brought back last night. Went out for lunch with Daughter. Trying to catch up with email, news, and blogs. The online Mensa groups have been buzzing all week with the Watson/Jeopardy thing. And having missed the first of this season's Survivor I had to watch it online.
Life goes on. I play catch up.
