What are the odds that we can get 4 different angles of this same event on youtube? Do you think it was a hoax, or setup? My guess is that a number of people saw the guys moving the cable roll upstairs and figured they had a good chance of catching a fail.

More after the jump.
Tags: failWhich source of information is more accurate? The Gallup polls, or the odds makers? Right now the odds are against McCain. If he wins there will be a lot of pissed off bettors and a few rich ones.
Since I started writing for GeekDad I have been getting a very odd assortment of spam, press releases, and product pitches. Significantly less than half of those actually pertain to being a Geek, or Dad.
These are the “unsubscribe” instructions from an email promoting the book Scratch Beginnings, which looks interesting, but again, doesn’t really pertain to being a Geek, or Dad, let alone both.
P.P.S. If you would like to unsubscribe from the one mass email that I send out whenever my work gets picked up by a publisher, simply reply to this email and type BreaKER BrEAker 1-9, the EaglE hAS leFt the nEst in the subject line. CAPS sensitive.
I’ll be heading down to Galveston in a week or so to help family clean up. If you are in the area and want to sweat your ass off in a mold and mud filled house, gimme a holler. I can hook you up.

It is looking better than feared. KHOU finally released video of the west end of the island, especially Jamaica Beach. At 2:49 on the right I can see the storage sheds, and a whitish blob where Dad’s house should be. The roofs appear to be intact on the sheds and I’m assuming the house survived.
We are still waiting on news of my sister’s house. They are near 53rd and Menard, if you have any reports of how high the water got in that area, please let me know.
Last summer I was introduced to Twitter at SXSW. At the time I really didn’t get it. I’ve now been using Twitter a lot to keep in touch with the GeekDads. Maybe, I have an analogy that will explain it some of the old school geeks like me.
“Twitter is like a huge IRC channel where everyone is /ignore by default.”
Feel free to quote me on that.
We just got a Wii Fit, and my Wii Fit age is 48. Ouch, time to do something about that. I’ve set a lofty goal of 5 pounds a week, we’ll see if I can keep that up.

If you wanted to change ONE thing to get more pirates to buy games, scrapping DRM is it. These gamers are the low hanging fruit of this whole debate.
Looks like at least one person in the game industry is listening. Hopefully he will inspire more to do the same.
