Super Bowl Sunday is here again folks. Personally I’m rooting for the Colts because Ervin Baldwin went to Michigan State around the same time that I did. And I also think highly of Mike Hart even though he went to U of M. And of course I also think that Peyton is one of the best QBs I’ve seen. And usually when I pick my favorite team, it is based on proximity to where I live. Lucas Oil Stadium is a couple hundred miles south of me. But one of my most favorite parts of the Super Bowl is the ads.
Every year advertising companies spend millions of dollars to advertise for the Super Bowl. A large portion of the money spent on Super Bowl ads go behind the creativity too. Although Pepsi won’t be participating in Super Bowl advertisements this year, CBS was able to sell about $200 million worth of ad space. About 100 million people are expected to tune into the game.
I have compiled a list of 40 of the greatest Super Bowl commercials of all time. Check it out and let us know what you think about this year’s commercials in the comments:
Every day millions of people are tweeting, digging, voting up on reddit, IMing, texting, and uploading video content. Keeping track of everything on the Internet can be overwhelming. Visualizing some of this data can make things easier on our eyes. There are lots of tools out there that can help visualize and make sense of all of the user generated data. The purpose of this blog post is to raise the awareness of the tools available as of today. I have broken down the tools by the associated websites in alphabetical order here.

One thing I like about flash mob videos is that every single one is fun to watch. Some of them are to get a reaction from the crowd and others are made for political messages. Regardless of the purpose, each of the flash mob videos I’ve seen look fun to participate in and the Internet gets a viral video in the process.
I remember the first flash mob video I saw was made by a bunch of people wearing blue shirts and khakis walking into a Best Buy. The “real” Best Buy employees were stumped and didn’t know what to do.
The Internet has a plethora of other flash mob videos such as the ones made using themes from an MC Hammer song and the movie 300. Here is a list of some of the best flash mob videos that I have seen on the Internet thus far. If you have other ones that you would like our readers to see, please leave a comment:

This one of a kind “WhaleMobile” is for sale. It needs new tires, but otherwise starts right up and runs fine. Not street legal, but still fun to drive, good for birthday parties and events. A lever inside the cockpit controls the whale tail, and allows some up and down motion. Water pump inside cockpit still works, and will build up pressure to be released through blowhole up top. It has working headlights.
This was a project my grandfather worked on when I was a kid, and it used to terrify me, as I have an inexplicable fear of these evil creatures. I am hoping to sell it by the end of the month, as I owe child support and don’t have the cash to cover it at the moment. This was built off of the frame of an otherwise perfect 1986 Yugo Cabrio. The vehicle itself has 38,000 miles on it, but it was badly damaged in a hailstorm and the bodywork was completely demolished. My grandfather got the idea of turning it into a WhaleMobile off of some cartoon, and he took his crazy idea and ran with it.
Serious inquiries only, but all are welcome to come and see the WhaleMobile in action. Please leave the harpoons at home.
Call me directly at 502.448.1137 for more details, leave a message if I don’t answer.

The vikings from the Capitol One commercials may be running out of work, but that doesn’t mean you can’t pillage the next city over. (We suggest Redmond.)
Today only, we’re giving away one very special viking hat. Ideal for the modern pillager, it is constructed from lightweight silver and gold plastic. Complete with faux gold horns and faux gold rope detailing, it makes the statement, “I have come for your grog and your goats.”
As it was never worn into battle, the hat is in mint condition, free of blood and dents.
It is “one size fits most,” and has ritual phrases impressed on the inside of the hat. They read, “CAUTION This is a toy not to be used as a safety helmet. Made in China. WARNING! This is a toy. Does not provide protection.” Lo, be ye warned.
Available for pick up until 6 PM today. No holds.
May your pillage be plentiful and your beer in Ballard be tasty.

I bought this stupid clock on E-Bay for my 86-year old aunt, because she is getting confused. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize until it arrived that you have to manually change everything, every day, except the time.
Every day. Push three buttons. If you forget for a day, or only push two buttons, the large, black and white read-out that is so easy to read, is wrong. I found it made her even more confused. If the stupid clock said something, she believed it. I would call her up and tell her what day it is and she would argue with me, because her stupid clock said something different.
Stupid clock. I bought her a new one that automatically changes every day.
This stupid, battery operated clock is free to whomever wants it. You will find it easier to work in harmony with it if you are a fairly cognizant person. On the other hand, if you are not always cognizant and want to drive your family crazy, this is the PERFECT clock for you.
