In other news, I’ve finally seen a video online that not even I could finish watching. Titled simply “1 Guy, 1 Jar”, it starts out very innocently. Well as innocent as a nude man squatting over what appears to be a glass pickle jar, could be. About 30 seconds in, though, it takes a dramatic turn for the worse. The likes of which would definitely make standing At 45 seconds in, I had to tap out. It was either keep watching and lose a good night’s meal onto my keyboard, or stop the video and keep what little was left of my hope for the future of humanity. There’s a part of me that wanted to put it up as my featured video, but I just couldn’t bring myself to do that to you good folks out there. That being said, I can link to it though…haha.

Before I do, I should warn you that it’s DEFINITELY not safe for the following:
viewing at work, viewing in front of or near children & people with heart conditions, certain endangered species, or anyone with a sense of decency.

So click here if you dare. Don’t say I didn’t warn you, though. Honestly, before you do, think long and hard about whether you want this image seared into your brain for the rest of your life. Believe me when I say I’ve seen enough strange things on the internet to become desensitized to most of it, but this was the first time I actually had to close a page prior to the ending.

So there you have it. Back from a long absence of posting, and providing you with a few gifts that will last far beyond this holiday season. If I don’t make an appearance prior to the New Year, have a happy holiday.

*Shameless Plug* If you haven’t taken a peek at the business site lately, I’d urge you to do so. We just got an amazing response to an article of Katherine’s that she reposted on the designer’s blog over there leading to over 2000 visitors in just 3 days. Not bad exposure for little local design company like us. We’ve completed a few more clients whose sites you can see in in the portfolio. Business is much better than we’d expected only 6 months into it. Good things are on the horizon, too. Once we get done with the wedding and get a chance to breathe, we’ll be looking at the possibility of taking on our biggest project to date. More on that as it evolves, but it’s definitely a great prospect, and a great opportunity for some major exposure. Of course, free plugs on a site with web influence as large as boroski.com has is huge in and of itself. Almost akin to being on the top page of Digg. However, this project would definitely be a great boost and a chance at some equally great contacts. *End of Shameless Plug*

Now that we have that out of the way, I’d also like to give a very happy birthday out to my niece. She’s a happy 1 year-old today. If you remember correctly, boroski.com was one of the first official newsbreakers of her birth. When she’s famous, she’ll be able to trace her success back to the staff here (me). Building on that hugely successful appearance (and to steal a bit from Stephen Colbert), thanks to the phenomena I’d like to coin as the “Boroski Boost”, she’s currently what I consider a front runner in a cute baby contest. Feel free to check it out, and just like any election worth a damn, make sure to vote early and vote often. You don’t have to sign up, just click to vote and you’ll see an option on the right hand side to ‘vote as a guest’, or something to that effect.

At this point you’re probably saying to yourself “ok, ok, what’s with that photo of you and the other guy”. Well that other guy is the one, the only, the legend: Jim Norton. We caught his show at Cobb’s Comedy Club in San Francisco and it was amazing as usual. Really, nothing I can say could do it justice, other than it was Jimmy at his best. So shameless plug for his site here. When you couple that with seeing Louis CK at Punchline a couple weeks back, seeing Rich Vos there the weekend after my birthday, Bill Burr at Punchline the end of this month, and Robert Kelly there next month, it’s safe to say we’ll be laughing all the way to the wedding. Which is definitely a good way to kick it all off.

Ok, enough of the palaver…this ought to keep you occupied for a bit. In case it doesn’t, here:
