Crasymaker

It’s been nearly a year since I received a new video in my mailbox. I was beginning to think that those days were over. I guess not, though.

As usual, this one’s kinda strange. I can’t tell if “ballseye” is supposed to be “bullseye” or if it’s something entirely different. I suppose it’ll be up to you to decide.

Without further delay, I present to you “Ballseye”.

In case the title didn’t quite explain it very well, all of the Crasymaker videos are now available on YouTube. I’ve been meaning to upload them to YouTube for quite a while now but haven’t gotten around to it. Instead of the little popup that used to occur, now when you visit the movies page, clicking on a video will take you straight to YouTube. That way, everyone’s guaranteed to be able to watch, even if you’re still using your PC you got back in ‘96.

Or if you just want to watch all the videos directly from my YouTube page, you can do that by clicking here.

I don’t know how long it’s been since I uploaded a new video. To be honest, it’s not my fault. I haven’t received a single video in ages. Until this afternoon, that is.

After we got back from the game today, a brand new video was waiting on my doorstep. After watching it a few times, I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s either Danny Dexter or at least someone related to him. As usual, it’s difficult to explain so make of it what you will.

Without further delay, I present Hawaii Tent.

I got the urge to switch things up a bit around here and now you’re looking at a brand new Crasymaker.com design. This one’s based on N.Design Studios’ free (and very fancy) GlossyBlue theme. I switched a few things around to personalize it a bit, but those dudes did all the heavy lifting.

Anyway, pretty much everything is still here so don’t freak. The polls widget is gone, but will be back for sure. The icon links to my other homes on the web such as MySpace, Facebook, Flickr, etc. are gone but I’ll figure out a place to put them, too.

Hmm, what else? I think that’s it. If you like it, clap once. If you don’t clap twice. Cool?

OK, so I promised I would post a new video and here it is. This one somehow ended up being 3 times as long as the others so I hope you have an extra 60 seconds to spare.

Hop on over to the video zone and check it out.

Or don’t.

And therefore, so do you!

Arkansas is way too awesome for a moron like Asa Hutchinson to be in charge. Thankfully, we don’t have to worry about that anymore now that Democrat Mike Beebe has officially won the race. Phew.

As promised, I’ll have a new video posted sometime this evening. Celebrate, ya’ll.

Oh, and for those of you who selected “Why Should I?” in reference to whether or not you’d be voting, I have two answers for you: Montana and Virginia.

Have you voted yet today? If not, here’s what you gotta do: Vote.

Me and a bunch of folks from work went and voted early yesterday and we got the choice between a paper ballot and an electronic voting machine. I was a little nervous about my vote getting counted properly so I chose paper. I’m not sure if you get the choice on actual voting day or not.

In case you haven’t made up your mind yet on who to vote for as our new Governor, I’ll just say this: If Mike Beebe wins, I’ll be so happy that I’ll probably make a lot more videos for the video section…hint.

I’m not sure who the guys are that made these super-radically sweet videos but they definitely look familiar in an extra badass way.

Anywho, go watch them and let me know what you think so I can tell the guys who made them…if I can find out who these kick ass dudes are.

If you’re interested in taking polls for absolutely no reason at all, then head over to the top of my sidebar and cast your vote. It’ll only let you vote once and unfortunately, for now, only one person per household (or office) can vote because it logs your IP address. Be sure and check the Polls Archive (link is under the most current poll) to see past winners.

According to the results of the first poll, it looks like not too many of you have tried the Sonic Hot Fudge Brownie Blast yet which is a good thing because it’s gross. Trust me. Now move your mouse over to the sidebar and tell me whether you want to see Snakes On A Plane or not. I do.

I woke up this morning and clicked on the videos section after my Saturday morning coffe only to discover a brand new video sitting in there. I’m not too sure where it came from or how it got there. It’s got some freaky dude talking to a little Buddha statue about his head hurting or something. This one’s weird (unlike the others which are completely normal) so be warned.

I’ve been getting a lot of requests for new videos and podcasts lately so I figure it’s time to deliver. This newest edition to the Crasymaker video library is called “Lesson #1″ and it’s about as tough as videos get these days. There’s a sword, a jean jacket, a pre-fab “flamez” do-rag and about a dozen sweet martial arts-style maneuvers so get ready.

Check it out in the videos section and sorry for taking so long in getting this one uploaded.

In case you’re the nosy type, I found a nifty plug-in which shows what Netflix DVDs I currently have at home. You’ll find it in the sidebar to the left underneath the “Recent flickr Photos” section. Unfortunately, Netflix doesn’t have a small image for Deadwood Season 2 yet so for now, all you’re gonna see is that lame “Image Not Available” graphic until I get something else at home…which might be a while because I’m only on disc 2 and there are at least 5 or six. Whatever. Deal with it.

I have been wanting to switch Crasymaker.com over to WordPress ever since I set up the LunchTour site. Instead of relying on Blogger (which, by the way, I still believe is an excellent blogging solution), I’d rather have total control over my site. Plus, WordPress supports categories and searching which is something that Blogger doesn’t do yet.

I was mostly waiting because I hadn’t found a template that I really liked. Although I can tweak different types of code to my liking, I am no good at starting from scratch. A few days ago, I stumbled upon Tony Geer’s KKP Light theme and it was almost exactly what I had been looking for so here’s my brand new site. Expect a few things to change over the next few days but it’s good enough to go live.

So yeah, now you can browse the archives by date or by category. You can also search the site if you feel the need to look up your name. And finally, the Flickr+Hoverbox widget in the sidebar will show the four latest photos that I have added to my brand new Flickr account. Enjoy.

Head on over to the podcast section and get yourself some episode 2. This one’s pretty good. Danny reads some fanmail and then sings a couple of songs on his guitar. Don’t forget that you have a few choices. You can subscribe to the MP3/MP4 versions or you can just download them yourself. The MP4 versions are way cooler in that they’ve got images and chapter markers so if you’ve got a photo/video iPod, make sure you grab the enhanced version (MP4). Even if you don’t have a fancy iPod, the images and chapter markers will still show up in iTunes if you have the latest version.

I was checking my stats today and noticed another little gem similar to the one I found last year. It sure is nice to know you can Google “find midgets strippers” and end up here. Thank God is more like it.
