Wheres Matt?

Seriously, are you one of the, like, 2 people in the world who haven't seen this video yet?

The series of videos that have this guy named Matt doing a dance are the worlds most watched internet videos.  This one I am posting has over 21 million views on YouTube.   I think they are awesome!

 

So the story goes like this:  This guy quits his job and starts traveling.  As sort of a memento to the places he visits, he would do this lame little dance.  Well, he posted on YouTube and became an overnight Viral hit, when a gum company saw it and asked him to make one for them.  He said sure, but I don't have any more money to travel.  So the gum company hired him, paid for all of his travels, and the result is what you see up there.

Recently, at a technology convention, Matt talked about how there are many YouTube "geniuses" who thought it was all fake and photoshopped.  He went on to pretend it all was a hoax, saying it was all photoshopped and the dancers were an army of robots, the zero gravity was created in hollowed-out Boeing underwater, and the budget was in the tens of millions.  LOL!  Well, some people couldn't take the joke, and it even made it into the news that the internet sensation was a "hoax."

If you youtube Matt hoax was a hoax, you'll find the whole story, its really pretty funny.  Cliffs Notes Version:  It was all real!  He received emails from all over the world, people asking things like "why didn't you come to my town," and his simple reply would be, "We're coming now, do you want to dance to?"  That's why in the early ones (2005 etc) it was just Matt, but I like this latest one (2008) with all the people.

Anyways, the video made me feel good, so I thought I'd post to remember.  Enjoy!

Hilarious Bug Fix

Came across a bug fix from Microsoft that got me laughing:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/168702 

Problem:  Cant import Oracle data into Excel:

Solution:  AND I QUOTE:

"Move Your Mouse Pointer
If you move your mouse pointer continuously while the data is being returned to Microsoft Excel, the query may not fail. Do not stop moving the mouse until all the data has been returned to Microsoft Excel.  "

 

ROFL!

Health Care Schmealth Care

urgent care american forkSomebody has got to do something about the cost of health care!  I injured a toe in basketball last month, bad enough that I had to go to the after hours insta-care.  They had signs all over the place touting their "$60 flat rate for all services."  I asked the receptionist about it.  "Its only for those without insurance."

"Ok, well I don't want to be fraudulent, plus my insurance will cover this and I'll just have to pay a copay," I thought.  Boy was I wrong.  My insurance is trying everything to not cover it.  The bill is for $550!  I received a denial of claim letter pending further investigation.  I had to fill out a form explaining all the details, and they still wanted more.  For some reason, they thought the injury must have been a workplace injury or car accident.  "Retards"  I thought to myself. 

Anyways, I am sure that they will end up covering it so at least it will go towards my deductible this year, but all in all, I would much rather go the $60 route!  Maybe I should stop paying the hundreds of dollars a month and just pay $60 for each visit.  I guarantee we don't see the doctor enough to make insurance worth it!

no insuranceI'll have to look into the $60 fee a little more, because if we really can see the doctor and have all the services and stuff paid for $60, there is no reason to have insurance that I pay $600 a month for!  I suspect the insta care is being sleasy though and its just $60 for a doctors visit and you have to pay for extra services on top of that...

Scared

little livie lewsterPoor little Olivia got really scared on Halloween because of some decorations and costumes.  Ever since, she has talked about "Monsters" and sometimes gets really scared.  While I don\'t like that she gets scared alot, (I think she has a hard time with shadows at night) I actually love having her run to me for protection!
