Transcript Matt Refghi: Hello, sir. I was attracted by your sign over here – you hope that there are no assassins around – Dave: Oh yes. Matt: Pardon? Dave: Oh, yes, I’m scared of the assassins… very scared. Matt: So yesterday I saw some Splinter Cell guys hanging around, you know, with the night vision and all that, I was a little concerned – (emphasizing) I was a little concerned when I saw this, ’cause I was like “yea… there’s some people around that might hurt you.” Dave: There’s many people around that might hurt me, but when you’re British you get quite used to that happening. Matt: (laughs) Okay, and this costume: where’s it from, specifically? Dave: Okay, specifically, … Read more

Transcription Matt Refghi: Hi everyone, I’m here with the Brady Bunch… or part of the Brady Bunch, it would appear. Carol: The parents… and our main support Alice. Matt Refghi: They have a very nice sign, I really want to point out. They’re gonna trade their kids for beer, essentially. Mike: Yes. Matt Refghi: And it seems they’ve already traded one. Mike: We have. We traded one, yes. Was that Jan? Carol: No no no, it was Greg, because he’s 18, he’s ready to move on. Matt Refghi: Okay, so when it comes to trading… so he was 18 – okay, I see – he was the most appropriate one to trade, because he’s already almost out. Mike: Correct, correct. … Read more

Description Though I knew very little of the famous Doctor, actor/writer John Reid Adams happily helped me get up to speed. Though John did most of the talking in this, I really felt that the video could have gone on for much longer, and I would have continued to be just as interested. Since this was filmed, I started watching the 2005 version of Doctor Who, and I absolutely love the concept. So, just like I did, if you want an introduction to the Doctor, try starting here. Transcription Matt Refghi: So, hello, sir. John Reid Adams: Hello, how’s it going? Matt: I saw you here, and I wanted to mention – you look like you’re from the Doctor Who … Read more

I recently began going through my old belongings in an effort to clear out the excess that I’d accumulated over the years, and in doing so, I encountered a particular item that proved problematic. You see, the item in question was a 3 1/2 floppy drive, you know, the old technology that no one uses these days. I specifically remembered that I had never actually tested it – so it was highly possible that the thing wasn’t even functional to begin with. Not only that, but the drive had other flaws: it was beige (a color that most people aren’t interested in), and plus, it was wrapped in plastic wrap – a material that may conduct low amounts of static … Read more

A long time ago, I felt that perhaps I could expand into another medium. The idea was to create a web series called “All Too Convenient,” one where I reviewed TV shows and movies, me being the picky creature that I am. So I tried to make that happen, and despite some interesting lessons, it didn’t really work out. As a second attempt, I tried to simply create another blog out of it, but again, it just didn’t take. A few months after that, I tried to launch the blog again – but this time with a different approach. Rather than write in a serious fashion, I decided I’d let my humor run wild, and see how that worked. The … Read more

This is one of two reviews from All Too Convenient, a project I recently cancelled. It was originally published on October 13th, 2012, and features a humor-based writing style. Hope you enjoy! Spoiler Level: Mild I finally got around to watching Continuum in the last few days, and felt like sharing a little bit of the ridiculousness with you all. Ever since the creation of Corner Gas, I’ve been desperately awaiting the arrival of a TV-show that would allow us Canadians to regain some of our dignity. Yes, I realize that it’s a comedy, and Continuum isn’t, and I also realize some of you actually like Brent Butt‘s monstrosity of a TV-series, but can’t quite understand why that is. But, you know, to each his own. Anyway, I … Read more

This is one of two reviews from All Too Convenient, a project I recently cancelled. It was originally published on October 18th, 2012, and features a humor-based writing style. Hope you enjoy! Spoiler Level: Mild Yep, a zombie TV show – a slightly different take on a genre that’s been done to death, so to speak. When I heard about it, I liked the fact that it was a TV show, not a movie, and that it was based in Atlanta (a city I frequent yearly), so I bought the first season and got to watching. Here’s a brief description I got off Wikipedia in case you never heard of it: The series stars Andrew Lincoln as sheriff’s deputy Rick Grimes, who awakens from … Read more

I attended college at a very turbulent time in my life, and though it resulted in many negative experiences, it also provided me with great stories to laugh about and share with others. Today, I’d like to tell you about this one class that I had… I don’t remember the name, exactly, but it can be best described as a physical education class that focused on nutrition. In case you haven’t read my previous posts, I’ll set the stage by explaining that it took me somewhere between 1.5 to 2.5 hours to get to the campus in the morning, and the same at night. Because of this, most of my efforts were focused on my core Computer Science classes – the … Read more

Like many creatures of the web, I’ve been known to watch YouTube videos every now and then. For the last year or so, I’ve noticed something strange going on with Google’s advertising approach within YouTube. Initially, I just thought I was witnessing a mistake that their developers made, and I waited to see when they’d fix the issue. To my surprise, that day never came – so today, I’m going to describe the problem, as I perceive it. Let’s start with a screenshot: Notice the message to the bottom right? It says “you can skip to video in,” and then has a countdown, in seconds. There’s nothing wrong with such an approach – in fact, it allows me to move … Read more
