Funny or Die
Funny Or Die was created by Gary Sanchez Productions and a bunch of Silicon Valley guys who drive Hondas and watch old episodes of Babylon Five. Venture capitalist, Mark Kvamme and his son came up with a concept for a new kind of comedy site and approached Will Ferrell and Adam McKay’s company, Gary Sanchez Productions. They wanted to eliminate all the junk that people have to pick through to find funny stuff. So they came up with the funny or die idea.
The site is simple. Vote on the videos and decide whether they’re funny or die a fiery death. Videos that get enough die votes go to the crypt where they languish in comedy hell. But ones that reach immortal status shall make people laugh forever (even ten thousand years from now when mankind becomes floating orbs of energy. If they can laugh, those future orbs will be laughing at your video). If you don’t want to mess around with lame videos of twelve year olds rapping at a family barbecue then check the status of the video to see how it’s doing.

Final Word: Funny Stuff
Electronic Music Lesson
This is a great link. Some dude named Ishkur put together this tutorial on the different types of electronic music and instruments. Each bubble click plays at least one sample of that style of music. Some music types link back their associated radio stations.
Final Word: This is fun to play with and a good reference for the next time someone asks you what kind of music you like. Cheers Ishkur. I wonder how much DI paid to get their name on this?

Free software for free
Filehippo.com is a site that hosts free software. Its got a real simple setup and a real clean look. One of the most straightforward download sites I’ve seen. I like the fact that you can choose which version of which software you download as sometimes the newest version doesn’t mean the best version. Clicking a file name will take you to a page describing what the program does.By using the software on this site you can make a fully functional and secure computer for free.
I highly recommend the
CCleaner to clean the crap off your computer, fix registry issues and manage your system start up.
I also recommend the
K-lite codec pack to make sure your media player can play the newest video and audio formats.
Final Word: Great compilation of free software. For free!
