That's beautiful. Eagleman laying an egg despite being a man. The awful acting that sounds totally out of place and perfect at the same time. The horrible costume.

Wait, why do they assume it's Eagleman who just crashes onto cars that don't have insurance? Why does this happen so often people just assume a loud crashing sound in an uninsured car is just Eagleman? This advert is weird.
Heresy! This is the best thing ever.

I couldn't see where anybody had posted about this before, which strikes me as amazing.  Maybe I'm just that much of a TV wonk.

Because of the TV channels I watch, I see commercials for General Electric a lot.  I've always wondered why, because they're not really advertising anything but the fact that they exist - nobody watching daytime TV is in the market for an MRI machine or a jet engine.  So seeing GE commercials at all is a little WTF.

And then there's this new ad campaign.  Yes, that is Agent Smith himself trying to sell me on... going to the hospital I guess.  With as many Matrix references as possible.  Does not exactly inspire confidence in my well-being upon visit.

They're the 6th largest company in the USA by revenue, they don't have time to advertise individual products, so the "GE makes awesome stuff" approach is actually effective. When they go to buy a fridge, some idiot is going to think "gee, these are the MRI guys, their fridges must be awesome!"

It's not really any different to how companies like Google or IBM advertise: they want to sell you a PC, or just get you on gmail / google+, so they highlight some advanced project they have, and hope the glamor rubs off.

While downloading something, something odd happened. It was going slow, so I began thinking really hard about it going faster, and it did, going up to about 200-300KB/s when a minute before it was stuck around 5KB/s. Curiously enough, I began focus on it downloading slower, and it did, until I began focusing on faster again(it went faster). This is a connection that usually barely only downloads at about 20KB/s normally(to be fair, it was a torrent, but even then, that's normal speed), and has a rating of 56Mb/s.

Did I just discover a psychic power for improving my internet speed? I should be able to market this somehow...

The human mind is a ridiculously powerful tool if you give yourself root access to it, but then, you're messing with your mind. Might want to rethink the "rampant abuse of psychic power for profit" part, even if it was meant jokingly. :3

Also, your ISP might simply be silly today.

Third jetfighter to pass over my house this afternoon. Rather low altitude too.

Wonder what they're up too.

Heh, the jetfighters that release the colorsof the Belgian flag always come release whatever they have left over quite near my house. It's pretty neat.

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

Back at my old house, when an air force base about a hundred miles away was still open, they used to fly two A-10s by every Wednesday morning.
