Back in September 2006, Noah Kalina got his 15 minutes of fame by posting a video on YouTube showing his face photographed every day for six years (see my earlier post to watch that video). Somebody at The Simpsons must have seen that video, because in Sunday’s episode, we get to watch Homer Simpson’s life flash before his eyes in the same way over a 39-year period. It ranges from baby Homer, to his school years (improving from F’s to D’s), acne-ridden teenager, and beer drinking, balding Homer.

Watch the video after the jump.

I love it when art imitates art imitating life.

By Will Murray (Willscrlt)

K.W. "Will" Murray is what happens when an out-of-the-box teacher coexists with a tech guru and gets bitten by a radioactive artist while camping in the Great Outdoors. Assisted by 80s pop and an undying love of space exploration and electronics kits, Will spends his days translating complex tech-speak into simple human while living the Scout Law. When he's not mentoring others or sharing his knowledge, you'll find him exploring Disney parks with the enthusiasm of a first-timer but the strategic planning of a veteran campaigner. Although based in California's capital city, Will prefers to think of himself as a digital nomad who accidentally grew roots, spreading knowledge wherever he lands. He's been an IT consultant, coach, community leader, and occasional stagehand (though he claims that last one doesn't count since he was just helping out). Over the past two decades, he's helped everyone from religious institutions to government agencies navigate the ever-evolving tech landscape, while maintaining his reputation as the guy who can explain anything to anyone—sometimes with sound effects and hand gestures at no extra charge.
