Weird Al Yankovic’s latest parody

Weird Al Yankovic’s latest parody music video “White & Nerdy” has become an instant online classic.

The lyrics include a surprising number of very relevant computer-geek references, including MySpace, Minesweeper, “killer apps,” JavaScript, Segways, ergonomic keyboards, Wikipedia, “ROTFLOL,” and HTML.

As an added bonus, Donny Osmond is a back up dancer for Weird Al.

This video is a lot better then David Hasselhoff’s Jump In My Car for sure :)

Deal or No Deal

Since the past few days have been filled with high tensions and tons of emotions about the 5th anniversary of 9/11, I wanted to find something fun and low key to share with my readers for some peace and relaxation.

Tonight I found an online version of the popular television game show Deal or No Deal:

Deal or No Deal

It’s very addicting, just like the real game show. I’ve been playing it for close to an hour now.

For those of my readers who are not familiar with the game show:

Hosted by Howie Mandel, “Deal or No Deal” is an exhilarating hit game show where contestants play and deal for a top prize of $1 million in a high-energy contest of nerves, instincts and raw intuition.

Each night, the game of odds and chance unfolds when a contestant is confronted with 26 sealed briefcases full of varying amounts of cash – ranging from a measly penny to $1 million. Without knowing the amount in each briefcase, the contestant picks one — his to keep, if he chooses – until its unsealing at game’s end.

So if you’re looking for a little online fun, check out the online version of Deal or No Deal. Let me know if you win the million dollars. The most I’ve won so far is $75,000.00 and I have yet to take the deal offered from the banker.
