Here's the other video I mentioned below. I've been trying out Google Accelerator, but it seems to mess up YouTube. I keep getting messages about videos no longer being available and my files fail to upload. When I disable the Accelerator YouTube works fine again.

Anyway, enjoy the video.

Video of the Day: Kittens Make It All Okay

Sometimes when life gets rough, you just need to watch some kittens play with an empty Coke box.

Because Someone Asked...

I haven't played World of Warcraft since sometime in November. Yeah. I spent countless hours getting my epic flying mount and then I started the insane Netherwing quest chain. Somewhere into my gazillionth daily quest I guess I just got burnt out and I stopped playing. It became a sort of job that I would do while watching TV or movies, not something that was really a ton of fun for me, which is what playing video games should be.

I'm sure when the expansion rolls out I'll get the burning desire to play again, but for now I'm more than occupied with my increasingly massive DVD collection, my 360, and my DVR. Not to mention those little things called social life, work, and school. Please note that I am not making any kind of attack on people who currently play WoW. I can personally testify to the fact that it is possible to have a life and also play the game quite a bit. It's just gone to the wayside for me, for now.

Daniel had a lot of fun playing with the helium balloons left over from the baby shower. I tied them to small weights to keep them from floating to the ceiling.

I spent a good twenty minutes removing tiny amounts of weight from one to try to achieve equilibrium, so it would just hover in midair. I ended up with a balloon that falls back to earth very, very slowly. As Daniel would try to catch it he would accidentally bump it back up into the air, and then wait for it to come back down again.

I tried uploading that video too, but YouTube won't take it for some reason. I'll have to try again later.
