Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee

I am fascinated by comedy and comedians. Not the unfunny ones like that guy with the puppets. I don't understand the appeal and I don't think I've laughed out loud even once at one of his jokes. I suppose there are different types of comedy that appeal to different types of people. Anyway, I am constantly trying to find the humor in things and I find little more fulfilling than making others laugh. I don't know why. It's just a part of me. I'm sure there are psychologists who have studied the phenomenon and have all kinds of theories. But I'm kind of lazy (like a lot of comedians) and don't particularly enjoy or have the patience for scientific research. Comedians are by nature kind of a depressed bunch, and I'm not surprised by it, but I do find it touching just how broken down a man Michael Richards is. You might know him as TV's Kramer. I was curious to know if he and Jerry Seinfeld would discuss "what happened" on Jerry's new online show "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee." It's the most introspective and dark episode so far and I'm going to call it the "Louie" of interview shows. The episode with Michael Richards is well worth a watch and it's only about 15 minutes long.

Learn to Tie

Think you know how to tie your shoes properly? Wrong. Seriously. Please watch this video. It has changed my life. As in, my shoe laces don't come untied even when singly knotting them. Got a huge head start on the presenter, considering I'm a young, robust 33.


The subject line is, of course, inspired by one of my all-time favorite bands and songs -


I've never thought about it before, but those lyrics are mildly Satanic. Oh Rock Music, you and your Satanism!

IkeaTV

I despise the Ikea shopping experience, but that's not because the store doesn't provide a good product at a great price. It's because 95% of the people who shop there are complete morons. But this is a "game changer" as they say on TV about absolutely everything that ever comes out, but it actually applies in this case. Ikea has built a piece of furniture called Uppleva, which is no worse than any other name they come up with and is actually memorable unlike Malm or whatever, with a built-in TV and Blu-Ray player, as well as organized spaces and features for other electronics to be well hidden and orderly. This will be huge. But all of the dorky Apple lovers will poo-poo it while they hope and pray that Apple will finally bring AppleTV to market.
