KIX-OnlineLinks to amateur (ham) radio goodies on the web

What a riot.  If you read the blog, you know I’m a huge Shep fan.  Here is a short online gem in two YouTube parts.

OK, I am a geek (not that the crowd that would read this blog would be inclined to disagree…..).

Here are a couple of bonus geek humor videos.  I’ll add these often over time.

Round one:  MC Frontalot – It is pitch dark

I’ve been a fan of this guy for years and the whole “nerdcore” hip hop scene.  Which is nice for us New England geeks, as most of them ride the corridor from NY to Boston – great bunch of people!

If you’ve ever played the old Infocom games in the 80′s like Zork and Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy (there were a lot) then you can appreciate this one.

Round two: Weird Al Yankovic – White and Nerdy

This track is still rather hilarious!  The parts with Donny Osmond dancing are a riot.  If you bounce around YouTube and look for the green screen version of the video, Donny is non-stop hilarity.

For some reason, as much as Weird Al “gets” us geeks, his label won’t allow me to embed the video, so you’ll have to click on the link below to watch the video.

Funny stuff indeed.

Round three:  Optimus Rhyme – Obey the moderator

Continuing with the Nerdcore genre, we round out the videos this weekend with Optimus Rhyme.  This track actually got me in trouble (thread deleted by unappreciative moderator) with the folks on a certain ham radio form when I felt there was an over zealous moderator.

I used to work on a very popular music site with several thousand regulars on a daily basis, I can feel their pain and to that end…. a little humor.

Bonus round:  Brian Malow – Science Comedian

This guys material isn’t musical, but hey, it’s a bonus.  If you’ve caught his stand up material, it’s rather hilarious.  I know it’s good because the girls I date don’t “get it”.  He does these special geek comedy bits in the usual nerd circuits.  Really funny.
