Elena Verdugo
One of the many benefits of hooking up with my most awesome bride is her family. I’m fortunate to actually love my mother in law and Jessie’s grandparents, Elena & Rosie are wicked cool.
Elena is Elena Verdugo. If you are old enough to remember Marcus Welby MD., you know who she is. If you’re old enough to remember Abbot & Costello meet Frankenstein, you know who she is. Yeah. Totally awesome.
Our friend, RRG, just sent us an episode of Celebrity Bowling Elena Verdugo and Ed Asner “competing” against Lorreta Swit and Gavin McLeod (guess when it was shot). Here are some screen caps.
The cool “tricycle” thing is one of the prizes. The announcer says that you can “help ecology” by using one.
I guess it worked, because the impending ice age never came.

Enron – We’re All Aware
A long, long time ago… before you were born. I did a commercial for the then viable and exciting Enron. It was directed by Tony Kaye (American History X… not the occasional keyboard player for Yes, though he told some people he was). I thought it might be a funny thing to have on my internet powered web site, but it is the only Enron commercial that is NOT available on the internet powered web.
There is one place where it is available: http://www.advertolog.com/enron/adverts/were-all-aware-1818655/
I went on the internet way-back machine and tracked down the web site: askwhy.com and all the horrible 2001 cutting edge FLASH glory that the site was. No dice.
We’re all aware that I don’t want to spend 40 bucks to see an idealistic me 11 years ago, right? Right?
what a week!
Wow. It’s been quite a week.
- The bride and boy are ill. In the bad way.
- Security Edition cards were linked on an extremely popular blog called Daring Fireball.
- Lawrence O’Donnell had Penn and the hero, John Tyner, on his show and they talked A LOT about the Security Edition cards.
- Penn went on the Wolf Blitzer show and basically did a commercial for the Bill of Rights – Security Edition cards.
Nuttiness. In the good way. Except for the bride and boy being sick. That is no damned good. I think we’ll just end up going to Marie Callendars for bird slaughter day. I’m taking the lad by the grandparents.
In other news, I did an interview with a very nice young person at the Horror Hound convention. He put it up here:
http://moviemeltdown.libsyn.com/.
There’s good stuff about the convention and, most importantly: ME!
cough.
Happy turkey slaughtering. I, along with most everyone else who has a non-retail job, have the next four days off and that is good schtuffs.
I win:
I came across your page (looks good). I wanted to let you know you have a misspelling in the first paragraph:
That’s all I aks of you.
Acting Good!
My old, old, old and I do mean OLD friend, Patrick Laybyorteaux, has created a really funny web site: http://www.actinggood.com.
If you’ve seen me in stuff, then you have seen Patrick in stuff. Before I was fired from show business, we used to be in movies and t.v. shoes together. Patrick, however, was allowed back in to the movie and television business and did a series you never saw, but everyone else in the country watched: JAG.
We also co-wrote “Hollywood Palms” together. The “quick, down and dirty” project that took almost 10 years to get made.
Regardless, check out actinggood.com
You’ll act good. Real good.
Security
Wow. Four of my neighbor’s passwords (thanks http://apostrophe.me) are “administrator”.
Well. Two of them were because the address to their routers are http://192.168.1.100
Now their passwords are “ChangeYourPassword”.
Great Pleasures
One of the great pleasures I encounter each week is my Saturday download. It’s the day I hook up my iPhone and download my nutty podcasts. My current favorite is Skeptoid, which is described by Brian Dunning, the host as “…a weekly science podcast dedicated to furthering knowledge by blasting away the widespread pseudosciences that infect popular culture.” He’s done a couple of really great episodes about “organic” food and locally grown produce, but the most incendiary has got to be Sarah Palin is not stupid.
The Palin episode of Skeptoid points out how those of us who pride ourselves for being critical thinkers have to remember to refrain from ad hominem attacks, especially against those who have different beliefs than ours. It’s great stuff.
My other favorite, which I may have mentioned here, is the Skeptics Guide to the Universe. Steven Novella and his brothers, Jay, Bob along with Even Bernstein and one of several “skepchicks”, Rebecca, are the skeptic superfriends. Each week, they sit around and wax poetic about things skeptical. I was interviewed by them last week at TAM7, which is a true honor. Steven Novella has got to be the busiest man in the world. He blogs daily at Science Based Medicine as well as his own, Neurologica blog. Plus, he’s a neurosurgeon and does legwork for the Skeptics Guide podcast. The man is smart. Crazy smart.
I also listen to three tech podcasts: the Zend php framework, Ruby on Rails & JQuery. It sounds a lot like English. I’m pretty sure it’s English.
There’s also a guy who decided to read all of the Robert Ingersoll writings. Great. Nutty.
I put the new ones in the “Sleep” playlist and listen to that as I fall asleep. By the end of the week, from waking up in the middle of the night, etc., I’m pretty sure I’ve heard everything.
Fascinating, isn’t it?
I’m going to write about TAM7 real soon. No, really.
old fat gay
Apparently, more 3 more people have visited this site looking for “old fat gay” rather than “dean cameron actor”.
- keywords — number of visits — percentage of visitors
- old fat gay — 12 — 2.39%
- dean cameron actor — 9 — 1.79%
That’s the bad news.
The good news is that there are hundreds of visitors looking for “dean cameron”.
Whew.
I’m not even that fat anymore… What gives, people?
tonight’s rhetorical question
What if there were a vaccine for autism? What would the anti-vax people do?
Dean A Day
When I remembered, which was 253 times, I snapped a shot of myself with my McBook’s built-in camera.
Initially, I was going for a still headshot type thing to create a sort of time-lapse. I tired of that rather quickly and began mugging like a freak, instead. Why couldn’t I have done both, I do not know.
I can see the 3 month rock bottom depression. It’s pretty cool. I can also see when I got out of that. Pretty weird.
The weight fluctuations are cool, too. Crazy!
