That is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen!
hahaha pretty darn good!
porn excel thing – quite true
Thats a hoot! We need more of that.
I wonder if the judge in the bunny hat can say the days of the week backwards, then in alphabetical order.
I was hoping to see Joanne up there presenting those slides, but that man did really well with those slides.
That would have been awesome.
Must have been a riot though.
Uh huh.
Was there, like, a big tank of nitrous oxide hissing away in one corner of the room?
I feel really old suddenly.
Have some hiawaska, you’ll feel better, fast!
The Rick roll was total win
I had no idea Anil Dash was such a badass
Hey, the human wit can be astonishing. In my case astonishing slow. I sense something, then it takes a long time for a thought to form. Then an even longer time for that thought to finally be articulated.
Therefore it is unreservedly fascinating for me to watch quick-witted others, especially whom are under pressure from a live audience, with rolling cameras to boot. I’d cave. These people are keenly talented.

William Shatner just tried some; look what it did for him.
Hey Mike, don’t feel alone, you’re not the only one on nitrous gas… thought development for me also comes very slowly, like the postal service… well, lemme think about that one
4chan is everywhere these days
THIS CHART IS A LIE!!!!!
rickroll’d

I believe that would be “cohete” & if you come to Hawaii, change your name, it means “toilet” here!
I lolled.
Dear RB,

This is one way to bring our message to the Government.
Don’92t just sit there, stand up and be counted! We want a fair and transparent election.
WHY DO WE NEED TO REFORM THE ELECTION COMMISSION?
1) Gerrymandering. The discrepancy between number of voters in voting areas is too great. The smallest parliamentary seat (Federal Territory, Putrajaya) has only 6,608 voters while the parliamentary seat for Kapar in Selangor has 112,224 voters. What this means is that one vote in the Putrajaya parliamentary constituency is equivalent to 17 votes in the Kapar constituency.
2) Phantom voters. A common tactic is to ’91buy’92 the identity card of the voters. Party members from the ruling parties will then vote on the voters’92 behalf. Random checking of a person’92s identity must be conducted using those finger print checking device (like the bank use). Any voting done on another person’92s identity must be made a serious offence under the election law.
3) Postal votes. The rules on postal voting must be reviewed, tightened and amended. The current rule favours the ruling party as the armed forces personnel and policemen who vote by ’91postal voting’92 would obviously not jeopardize their career or promotion prospect by voting for the opposition. Voting under postal voting is not secret as it is under the watchful eyes of the senior officers. Christina Liew of DAP (Api-Api) lost due to postal votes. The ruling party has control of 250,000 postal votes!
4) Spoiled votes. How do we define spoiled votes. It is very easy to turn good votes into spoiled votes (by adding one more x to the ballot paper). Are spoiled votes being verified and watched over by the party representatives? In marginal areas in which the winning margin is razor thin, the so-called spoiled votes need to be scrutinized.
Wow, I get to cross a bucket item off the list.
Hey Paris, you never told us about this:
Sorry, guys. “Brian Credus” is close… no cigar, tho. The name is Freitas, and drop the “B” on my first name – Adaptive Path has enough Brians already. Thanks for the hilight reel!
SWSW soulless cfrap
SZSW represents a sickness of sorts. The town of Austin has been destroyed. The conference industry is
privately owned and for profit. That is the bad karma and bullshit, they milk the youth from “volunteers”
but nothing substantial is covered. The Music and Art is for the most part just as vacant as the volunteers.
SXSW is a self-appreciation society.
Anil Dash Rules!! ( I have been blessed with his first name!!)
