Randomness Redefined

Just letting everyone know that the site should be much faster now thanks to a great plugin for Wordpress. I am now using W3 Total Cache to speed things up as this plugin works with Amazon’s Content Delivery Network (CDN) Amazon Cloudfront. My site should now be cached worldwide for much faster viewing. Please let me know if something is broken so test the heck out of things. Also, please use my suggestions link on the right hand side of the page if you would like me to write about something.

I am helping out with the testing efforts for the Standard Theme. I cannot really talk about this theme yet but I like the new look and that is why the blog looks a little different. Stay tuned for more information.

Fellow blogger Paul Stamatiou announced today that he has launched his Blog suggestion service Skribit. You can see the suggestion widget that the service offers on the right hand side of the page. If you have any suggestions for posts that you would like me to make please feel free to use the widget. I wish Paul great success with his startup and hope it all goes well!

The vampire from the Twilight Series versus count Dracla and count Chocula

I thought this was really funny and thought that I would share it. I have not read the series or seen the movies so I have no clue if what they say is true or not. For those who cannot read the comic here is what the comic shows.

Panel 1:
The vampire from Twilight is standing in a forest with the Twilight logo series shown.

Panel 2:
The vampire is still standing and a bat is flying through the panel. The vampire says “This is . . . . The skin of a killer.”

Panel 3:
Count Dracula appears next to the vampire with a poof and slaps him. Dracula says “Oh for f*cks sake ! Put your damn shirt on. I spend hundreds of years convincing people that vampires are to be feared, and with a book and a movie you undo all of my work.”

Panel 4:
The Twilight vampire starts to cry and says “You . . . You hit me. Dracula says “Oh, quit your sniveling. Next time I’ll slap the glitter off of you too. You see this guy? Count f*cking Chocula is a better vampire than you are! COUNT CHOCULA.”

Panel 5:
the vampire from Twilight looks confused and Count Chocula says “Sup.” with a silly cartoon smile plastered on his face. Count Dracula says “That’s a face only a mother could love.” (referring to Count Chocula)

As I said I thought this was funny and I have no thought on the Twilight series other than the vampire appear to be rather, well pretty boy looking. I am more of a fan of the Dracula style vampires myself.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I had a great thanksgiving with my family and I hope yours was great to!

Thanks to John Saddington over at Human3rror for posting this hilarious image!
