Tomorrow is Going to be a "David Caruso Day"

The ever male-skewing AMC has been running CSI: Miami reruns every day during the week.  One thing stands out: David Caruso is pretty cool. David Caruso stops at nothing to get his man.   David Caruso always has a biting, sarcastic remark for every strange situation or confrontation he's in. David Caruso is sort of mean.  David Caruso also has a heart of gold.

I've got to start acting like this more around the Joke Grenade Office.  I'm tired of everyone pushing me around. I'm gonna tell Jeff to go screw himself if he starts pushing and slave-driving again.  I'm gonna do it cool though.  I'm gonna do it like David Caruso. I'm gonna get tough with all of them... Tito, Fred, Dante, all of them.  It's what I want.  It's what David Caruso would want for me.

Arguments AGAINST .mp4 video

by Jeff Waters
The debate at Joke Grenade continues... between Fred Castleton, a so-called video specialist, and another guy who supposedly has no idea what he's talking about.  I'd like to make the argument that MP4 will be good down the road, but as of now you're better off using a "video family" such as .wmv or .swf or .mpg. Here are the main reasons why:
1. Older browsers are unable to play mp4.  Therefore, my family back home can't watch any of the stuff we make.
2. The metadata is placed at the end of the video file so you have to take the extra step of downloading a metadata mover to send it to the front of the file.
3. No metadata mover is used and you have to wait more than 30 seconds or so for your video to play (the video must completely download to know to start playing--madness!)
4. Most importantly, MP4 killed my Dad!

  You will rue the day, MP4! You will rue the day!
