I'm a Facebook friend of Will Ferrel, are you?
Actually I'm not. Even though I do tend to live on Facebook over the weekends, he ain't no friend of mine! But the new video he has put up regarding his latest movie “Casa de mi Padre” is very funny.
And I have produced it here for your delectation:
And as long as we're on the subject, here is some more Will Ferrel amazingness:

The iPad 3 - Not So Noticeably Different
So you remember in my last post I wrote about the iPad (3) aka The iPad?
Its just down here ↓Anyway, I wasn't the only one to be underwhelmed by the new iPad. This chap went out and did some serious testing of his own.
Scary stuff eh? I think we'll be sticking with the iPad 2 for the time being.
And anyway, I'm still waiting for my hover-board and meal in a pill that we were all promised in the last decade!

we decided to set up a little test and see what happens when the iPad 2 and the new iPad are placed side-by-side. Could anyone actually tell the difference? Find out in the video below:

Game of Thrones + Simpsons
My favorite TV show of 2011 was Game of Thrones. It had great acting, some very interesting plot lines, and for someone as bitter and twistde as myself, some great 'wow' moments.
Being a Brit I tend to recognise the actors in any UK show due to the limted pool of talent, and here was no exception. However, instead of going with the normal plot of 'he's a well known actor, he'll survive anything', heads come flopping off as if there's no tomorrow!
Definitely worth watching, and if you don't believe me, ask Homer (well Matt G. anyway)
Now, let's be careful put there...

Old Spicy Man
My dad used Old Spice, you know in that ceramic dispenser that would never break, or let you know how much product was left in it!
So that was nice. And then I guess he got a deal on some Tabac, so he moved to that.
All well and good. And then Old Spice decided that they actually wanted to make money, and so they started advertising all over the place. IndyCar, posters, banner ads and then they revolutionised TV advertising by created some amazing ads. And some not so amazing ones.

I found me a new hero!
I've been a Formula 1 racing fan for many years now, going back to my childhood in the 80's.
Fast women and loose cars; its what I do.
Anyway, I've been living in a country that doesn't have an F1 presence, for the last 15 years and even though I'm originally a Brit, none of the UK based drivers really excite me.
And then I found him when our eyes met over a YouTube video.
A driver who is hungry for a win, has proven himself in the past, is willing to push the boundaries slightly, and best of all, works for a British F1 team.
Lady and gentlemen, I present to you - Vitaly Petrov. My new Formula 1 driver.
And why the hero part in the blog title? Because as well as having to deal with the British media on a daily basis, garner sponsorship for himself and, it appears, fight for his drive every season, he still has to drive exceptionally fast around a track with other, like-minded nutters.
We haven't had a death in Formula 1 since Roland Ratzenberger and Ayrton de Silva Senna in 1994, but five drivers have died while driving a Formula One car at the NĂĽrburgring; only the Indianapolis Motor Speedway has had more casualties!
Sadly Dan Wheldon died in October in Las vegas whilst racing in IndyCar, so these guys are not just fancy hair and interesting accents. This is serious stuff.
So, well done Vitaly - and good luck!

I've mentioned the Axis of Awesome before here. So I was, and I don't use this phrase lightly, 'well chuffed' to see them on Damn Cool Pic's blog performing a very interesting little '90s megamix on the melodica.
As the great man says himself 'What's better than a '90s megamix? A '90s megamix played on melodica, that's what! Take a look at this compilation of '90s hits played on a curious instrument'

Another Day Off
"Bueller? Bueller?" made Ben Stein an icon. Jennifer Grey also became more popular after the film was launched in 1986 but Matthew Broderick will always be intrinsically linked with 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
So I was surprised to see that he had possibly cheapened his role by making an ad for Honda based around the film.
And then I realised - its been 25 years since the film came out!
Scary stuff indeed.
And now I'm going off to make some hot chocolate, put on my slippers and sit down in front of the TV for a few days.

Google - really? I'm that thick?
Oy! Google!!
Cut it out. Okay, I get it, you have access to my email, my photos and videos and even some of my purchases around the interwebs but now you are just taking the mickey.
As you may know I work in a Google environment. I love Google and all that they stand for. Google circles? Still getting my head around that one but otherwise, Google me blue, red, yellow and green.
But stop!
What is this?

I'm in the back end of a website doing statistical analysis of their traffic and you feel I need to know what an iPad looks like? And even if I didn't know, how will the look of a device help my analysis?
Yes Google, I love you dearly, but you caught me on a bad day.

Song A Day: 1000 Days and Counting
I found a great album by Jonny Cash - American V: A Hundred Highways
I spent nearly 20 minutes creating my new Facebook timeline picture. With pictures from Facebook.
I started listening to Grooveshark all over the place.
I started using Tweetlogix for all of my Twitter needs (@jumblerant)
I started using Flipboard on my iPhone - and my son keeps deleting it. So I keep adding it.
And then I found this nugget of greatness. This amazing introduction to a chap who I will be keeping my eye on in 2012;
I'm looking forward to hearing some great, adequate and crappy songs.
