JibJab Blog Post on “Time for Some Capmaignin’”

WALL-E is probably one of the greatest animated movies of all time. It’s defiantly the best movie so far this year. Well worth the ticket price plus a $40 tub of popcorn.

Get smart was really funny. Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway make a really great (and hilarious) team.

It seems that all I do these days is mow the yard. The grass grows so quickly that by the time I’m done, I have to turn around and mow again! Of course, I’m over exaggerating, but some robotic help would be nice. Enter LawnBott. This little red bot reminds me of a Roomba, but you certainly shouldn’t but it in your house? Why? Because it can mow your grass for 4 hours before returning to it’s dock - automatically!

According to the DVICE post where I found it,

It’s said to be so quiet, you can run it in the middle of the night without annoying the neighbors. It will cut up to 33,000 square feet on a charge. LawnBott isn’t afraid of a little water, either — light rain is no problem, and if it senses too much water the Bott makes a beeline for the docking station.

Awesome! Wait… how much would this amazing piece of technology cost me?

Oh…

$1,749? Wonderful.

According to News.com’s Ina Fried:

“Microsoft is withdrawing its offer for Yahoo after talks between the two companies broke down on Saturday, a source told CNET News.com on Saturday.

Microsoft hiked its offer to $33 a share, but Yahoo was holding out for $37 a share, the source said. The two sides met face to face again Saturday, but remained far apart.

Although price was a key issue, Microsoft also had strategic concerns and saw it as unlikely to achieve a friendly integration process. According to a source close to Microsoft, Yahoo founder and CEO Jerry Yang had ‘unrealistic expectations.‘ “

What do you think this means for Microsoft? What about Yahoo?

It’s about time that this story get some rest, at least for the time being. We could all use a break from Microhoo.

I can almost certainly say this won’t be the last time we hear of Microsoft/Yahoo.

This is pretty amazing… plus, the guy’s face is funny in ulta slow motion.

Earlier today Flickr launched their new video service, so I decided to give it a try.

Overall, I thought it worked pretty well. You are, however, limited to 90-second videos. Trust me, that can be a good thing. Basically, it’s the exact same process as uploading a photo, a pretty seamless purpose. You can even embed the videos that you’ve uploaded, with a functional flash player. I’ll embed a video of my crazy dog attacking my hand. Sorry about the poor quality, I just took the video with my point-and-shoot camera, so I could get it off quickly.

As you may or may not know, Veronica Belmont recently left her job at Mahalo Daily. Today she posted that she left to go to Revision3’s Tekzilla and one other “secret” project. As you can see from the picture below, I totally guessed that she’d be going to Tekzilla. That silly Roger Chang tipped me off.

Well, to get to the point of this post…

Veronica, congratulations on your new job. I’m sure that you’ll excel, and you’ll be a great host! Everyone wishes you luck in your new endeavors.
