Mitch Hedberg Passed Away from Overdose
It has been released that Mitch Hedberg's Death was due to a Drug Overdose.
It was originally thought he may have suffered from heart failure. Sadly this great comedian's career ended in a hotel room in New Jersey this March.
I've decided to collect a few clips of Mitch's performances and upload them to vidstogo.
Enjoy.

Don't leach Bandwidth or Pictures from me please
So this guy in France who's apparently a part of ZDNET decided that ZDNet's servers wouldn't be able to handle their own image hosting. So he decided to use an image of an xbox from my server.
This kind of opened the door for me to do whatever I damn well pleased on his little french ass.
Fortunately he left a picture of himself at the top of his webpage.

Deal or No Deal calculator
So tonight on the way home from work I heard a radio ad for the new international hit coming for a 5 day event on NBC. Suckered by marketing as I usually am, I decided to watch this new show : Deal or No Deal.
First of all the show is hosted by Howie Mandell.
What the heck happend to howie?
Anyways back to the show. Basically the premise of the show is this. There are 26 suitcases. They all have a value from 1 penny to a million dollars. At the beginning of a turn, a player picks one suitcase. Then he or she must pick 5 suitcases to reveal from the ones remaining. After that, the person is allowed to accept a "deal" from a "banker" instead of keeping the unknown amount in the suitcase he picked.
This game seems like a great game for people who are bad at math. My guess is that NBC will calculate an expected value based on the suitcases remaining. Most likely the value that they give to the contestant will be less than this value.
Being the nerd I was, I decided to make a play along webpage that will allow you to "play along" and see if this holds true.
If this holds true, it will seem to always make sense to play to the very end.

Milwaukee Brewers are Back....
after serveal seasons with the worst jerseys in the league the milwaukee brewers and going old school....
this brewers throwback will be worn by the players for every home sunday game all season long.... the only question is how can we get them to switch to this permenantly....
Fun Fact about the logo from the article: Tom Meindel, an art student at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, who submitted the winning design in 1977. He won $2,000 for his effort, and the Brewers wore his brainchild from 1978-1993,

Bird's eye view from Microsoft
Looks like we have another round of fight from Microsoft vs. Google.
I came across local.live.com today. At first glance it seemed like just another map site with aerial photography. In many instances the aerial photography is much newer on their site.
However the "cool factor" comes with their "bird's eye view". This allows you to not only see a house from top down, but also from the side.
While their address lookup system seems a bit hokey at the moment, you can zip to your favorite city and then peruse from there.
And for once, Beloit is in the mix!

Random Facts about Chuck Norris
Thanks to Brent for this one:
Remember those lame hot or not sites? Well somebody finally took that basic idea and made it into something useful / funny. It's the Chuck Norris Random Fact Generator.
Admittedly, if you decide to flip through all of them at random, a lot of them do suck, I do believe that the top 30 is a good read.

Funny Beer Commercial
Well I've never tried Troegs Beer before, but here's one of their commercials.
If their commercials are any indication of their beer ... Well I'd like to try it sometime anyways. It's natural.
