Video from the UCB: “BP Spills Coffee”
This very funny video from UCB.com wrings laughs out of the Gulf oil spill by portraying BP as a bunch of gibbering subnormals. Is it funny? Unquestionably. But they should've taken that next step.
Continue reading...You Never Give Me Your Money
Thursday, June 17, 2010
In honor of the fascinating book that I received for my birthday Monday (still don’t know from whom, but thanks!), I am posting this unedited version of the Beatles’ Abbey Road song, “You Never Give Me Your Money.” Enjoy.

Tuesday, May 25, 2010
My brother at Caltech turned me on to this site, which offers high-resolution, large format reproductions of images from space. This one, for example, is a 11-day-long exposure from the Hubble telescope in 2003. Over 10,000 galaxies are in this photo; each galaxy contains millions of stars. And this is a section of the sky [...]
Continue reading...YouTube, Downfall parodies, and me
Thursday, May 6, 2010
If you’re reading this, you doubtless know about the “Downfall meme”—a running joke on the internet where a segment of the 2004 movie “Downfall” is used to express real or feigned outrage at something important or not so. Bruno Ganz, playing an embunkered Adolf Hitler, freaks out at his generals not over the conduct of [...]

Tuesday, April 27, 2010
Ten days and $822 to go for The Devastator, a proposed humor quarterly based here in LA under the stewardship of Geoffrey Golden and Amanda Meadows. I met with Geoffrey and Amanda yesterday, and they seem like just the people for the job, so anybody out there in favor of print humor should go donate [...]

Wednesday, April 14, 2010
In my trawling for the previous post, I came across a YouTube video that was just too good not to share. For those of you who missed the memo (or only knew of him as a marcelled, wife-beating, PCP-crazed latenight joke), James Brown was a musical genius.

Tuesday, April 13, 2010
So baseball season is in full swing (har) here at Casa del Mike. Got the Gameday Audio package—only $19.95 for hometown radio broadcasts over the iMac, and Mike Shannon’s ridiculous St. Louis accent is worth twice that. Got a good team this year, got a definite underemployment situation, things are lining up perfectly. Baseball fans [...]
Continue reading...Five Dollar Fridays: Sky Mall Kitties
Friday, April 9, 2010
Pal Jon Schwarz over at A Tiny Revolution (not “A Trini Revolution,” the Orwell-influenced Trini Lopez fan site) has come up with a wonderful idea that uses the internet to support artists, writers and other people without jobs underpaid-but-essential members of society. It’s called “Five Dollar Fridays,” and it works like this: every Friday, Jon [...]

Thursday, April 8, 2010
John Lennon’s first son Julian Lennon turns 47 today, wherever he is. I hope it’s someplace nice. Julian deserves a lot of credit for how he’s handled the world’s continuing interest in—and adoration of—his famous father. As the physical John Lennon has dissolved into soft-focus, the chief Beatle’s first family has too often faded out, [...]

Thursday, April 1, 2010
I have run into the weirdness of the “double slit” experiment before, but the video below does a particularly good job of explaining it. “Gee, that is strange. But what,” you might ask, “does this mean for me, the reader of mikegerber.com?” Well if you’d just stop gluing your fingertip to your eyelid, I’ll tell [...]

For 30 years, Ravin fans wondered: What if Tom Larkin had survived? Now, the story can be told.
Mixing alternative history, hardboiled noir, parody and satire, Life After Death for Beginners is a must-read for every Beatles fan. "A cross between The Rutles and Three Days of the Condor. I loved it."—Jonathan Schwarz
