Bam! Who knew that the Geico Caveman theme song was done by 3 Doors Down?

I didn’t until it started playing and I looked at the screen on my iPod… hehe… check out the actual TV commercial:

“Let Me Be Myself” by 3 Doors Down. I like this song, but never put two and two together. Side note, Liberian Girl by Michael Jackson is now playing. So random I tell you

The three minutes of footage is comprised of over 7,000 individual photos, and if you’re wondering, the games in order are Kirby’s Adventure, Contra, The Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Mega Man 2, and Super Mario Bros.

On this day, fans around the universe proudly carry a towel in his honor. Do you have your towel with you today? I surely do. Remember, Don’t Panic!

For more information, visit the official towel day website.

To play the game, go to google.com during the next 48 hours (because it’s too cool to keep for just one day) and either press the “Insert Coin” button or just wait for a few seconds.

Google doodler Ryan Germick and Marcin Wichary made sure to include PAC-MAN’s original game logic, graphics and sounds, bring back ghosts’ individual personalities, and even recreate original bugs from this 1980′s masterpiece.

They also added a little easter egg: if you throw in another coin, Ms. PAC-MAN joins the party and you can play together with someone else (PAC-MAN is controlled with arrow keys or by clicking on the maze, Ms. PAC-MAN using the WASD keys).

Update: Google Pac-Man lives on forever.

With my line of work, I have ongoing vendor and client relationships which brings me to the video below:

IMHO this video pretty much describes how the typical vendor client relationship can go – worse case scenario.

I’m sure as you watched this video, you were wondering:

Has Sean had client and/or vendor relationships like this video?

In my 12+ years of consulting, I can honestly say that the answer is yes, however they are not all this way because if they were, I would have stopped consulting a long time ago

Without any further delay, Happy Birthday to the creation of RAM… and there was much rejoicing… yay!

So how should we celebrate this technological achievement by the team at MIT? Upgrading our computer’s RAM of course

In other news, apparently President Barack Obama doesn’t know how to use an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3:

With iPods and iPads and Xboxes and PlayStations, — none of which I know how to work — information becomes a distraction, a diversion, a form of entertainment, rather than a tool of empowerment, rather than the means of emancipation…

In closing, to wrap up my May 9th, 2010 post, I want to say “happy Mother’s day” to moms all around the world.

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky was a Russian composer of the Romantic era.
