Reason #1425 why I’ll never get into Twitter
Even the slightest attempts of normal usage are thwarted consistantly. Sorry Chris, guess I’ll have to try to follow you when Twitter feels things are going “right”…
WTF
I’ve never been into doing online vanity searches, but tonight I thought I’d buck tradition. The blog I abandoned to move to tumblr is now the top search result for my name to my complete and utter surprise. I followed the rabbit hole to the end, and 85 pages later I reign supreme.
My name is fairly common, but apparently not enough people with the awesome luck of landing the Joe Hoffman moniker are serious about stuffing the tubes. So suck it, Joe Hoffman the: Boxer, President of Aviation Communication & Surveillance Systems, and Professor and Chair of Physics and Engineering!

You never know (I often don’t).
This has been added to the very, very short list of links populating my Bookmarks Toolbar in Firefox. Nice feature, indeed.
Penn Jillette Loves Me
I was going through my wedding photo album and found this picture. My wife and I got married in Vegas in ‘99, and I’d forgotten that we saw Penn & Teller at the MGM Grand. He looks incredibly thrilled to be taking this picture with me.

Just because…

Dead Man: Sally’s Campsite Scene

Happy Fathers Day.
This Hallmark commercial was first run last year and it cracked me up, so I put it up on YouTube and posted it on Tumblr a year ago I believe. I’d forgotten about it until people started commenting on it again while it’s being re-run this year. Still makes me smile…
Fishing With John - Matt Dillon
Along with this video, all 6 episodes of FWJ are up now, including Dennis Hopper, Parts 1 & 2. To view any of them, just click “Menu” on the player and all will be visible.
I don’t know how many people have watched/enjoyed all of these since I’ve started posting them, but it’s one of my most favorite video series ever. The Willem Dafoe video has almost 700 views and I never posted it anywhere else but here, so it must have been forwarded around because I only have but a handful of followers.
Ultimately, I just wanted to share them with those that have never heard of Fishing With John, and those who love it as well and haven’t had a chance to see it in a while.
Ah, fishing. Enjoy.
Fishing With John - Tom Waits
Life is so beautiful - for some more than others. Every breath, every day of our lives… ah, fishing.
Quick snapshot from my phone on my way home last night from the movies. This is the weather system that has been parked over my area for the last three days.
I was being a bit flip in previous posts regarding tornado warnings on Saturday, only to find out one actually touched down on that day about a 1/4 mile from my house. That’ll learn me… safety is more important than internet funny business!
Tornado Sirens Going Off A Block From My House (recorded on my cell phone for optimal fidelity!)
Posted for those that have never had the pleasure of living in the midwest during tornado season. The static / audio interference you hear is wind whipping around. I was just about to go huddle in the basement with my dogs when it all passed just now (very Half-Life 2, no?).
