new feature in testing

I am not sure how I found the link to this new cool script originally, but I found this great GBox script on this guy Lloyd Dalton’s site that let’s you Google search any text you highlight. It’s really pretty cool. I have only implemented it on the homepage so far, but you can test […]

defend this

This “Defend your castle” game is the most fun Flash game I have ever played on the web. It is insane. Seriously, play this. You will laugh and cry and play pver and over again. I never thought stick figures could be so great.

say anything

” A career? I’ve thought about this quite a bit sir and I would have to say considering what’s waiting out there for me, I don’t want to sell anything, buy anything or process anything as a career. I dont want to sell anything bought or processed or buy anything sold or processed or repair […]

the king’s chopper

Hmmm. Here’s an interesting bit of eBay pleasure. Elvis Presley’s extracted tooth is up for auction on eBay with a current bid of over $700,000, along with a lock of hair and a gold record. People are sick.
Unless there’s a serious possiblity of extracting DNA and recreating the King, I don’t want any part […]

ashton kutcher

I don’t like to comment on hollywood bullshit at all. I can’t stand that Page Six crap. I don’t read the Post. But I have to say that I love MTV’s Punk’d and this Ashton Kutcher quote about his new relationship with Demi Moore is classic…
“[Demi Moore]…was the hottest actress in Hollywood when I was […]

Only in baseball folks…

Just when you though you heard it all in baseball, they give us SAUSAGEGATE. Although this article was making fun of the incident, it really did happen last night. Randall Simon of the Pirates took a two handed love tap to the top of head of the Italian sausage. I found it histerical, nobody was […]

rodent navigation

Some of you may love this little site… play more has a clever little mouse-navigation that you have to see to believe. I have the feeling the mice were not all that cooperative, but the results are adorable. Enjoy.

1001 HP Bugati

Yeah, that’s right, Bugati has a new production vehicle on the market. The 2003, $650,000 Bugatti Veyron produces 1001 HP from it’s 16 cylinder engine. “The new 16-cylinder Veyron should reach a top speed of more than 400 km/h (248 mph) and accelerate from 0 to 300 km/h (0-186 mph) in under 14 seconds.” Eeee-gaad!

Chappelle snot

Holy shit. I feel very sick tonight, but it feels like allergies. I took 2 Benadryls like 2 hours ago, and just ate some soup. Nothing seems to stop the clear liquid from pouring from my nose. I feel OK physically, I just can’t fucking breathe. I didn’t go out yesterday or today. I feel […]

photos

I am totally fucking sick. I don;t know what it is. I have spent all day all weekend in the goddamn house missing out on the best weather of the year. Tomorrow is the PNC Arts Center Pearl Jam concert, and I am going to sit there in misery.
In any case, I dug through some […]

spider-man

Like I said, I have been sitting in the house all day. One good thing I discovered was this new Spider-Man animated series on MTV. It’s really, really good. It is totally computer animated, but they used one of those cool cell shaders for the final render. The result is really slick. I told TiVo […]

Funniest Show on TV…

Does anyone agree that Curb Your Enthusiasm has got to be one of the funniest shows ever??? I cant wait for the DVD set to come out. Larry David is hilarious. I can watch the repeats over and over again. My favorite 2 episodes are Krayzee Eyes Killa and the Grand Opening of the restaurant. […]

Gollum

I hate MTV (ever since Beavis and Butthead went off the air) so I avoided the Movie Awards hosted by Seann William Scott (who’s constantly trying to look like a cross between Jim Carrey and a gremlin) and Justin Timberlake (who in this day and age thinks Michael Jackson is a cool thing to be). […]

american splendor

They made a movie about us all. Everyday heroes with shitty jobs and smelly armpits. I can’t tell whether this guy reminds me more of Jon Clarke or Mike Scotti. Not in a physically repulsive way, but in an attitude way. In any case, I’ll be seeing American Splendor the day it comes out. It […]

Netflix

Chris is always raving about Tivo so I thought I’d pitch in on its ’sister’ system; Netflix. I resisted this one for awhile. ‘20 bucks a month! I don’t spend that much in rentals!’ But that’s only because Blockbuster never has anything. I get about fifteen movies a month, meaning I pay about $1.25 […]

AT&T how may I help you?

There is a great tradition in Chris’ world for interactions with large corporations. The following is not really an upsetting or victorious story… it is just a little interaction I had with the folks of AT&T yesterday.
And you know, how it seems to be this American thing to “ask for the supervisor”, or “talk to […]

Doc Ock

Cinescape has the first picture of Alfred Mollina as Doctor Octopus in Spider-man 2. I am much happier with this than I was with the Green Goblin. Alfred Mollina’s been cool ever since he stole the idol from Indy and threw his whip away. I miss the short, pudgy Doc (Bob Hoskins would have […]

he is sam

I am no little emotional crybaby pussy. I don’t claim to be this big hard ass, “I don’t cry” type, but I have to say that it takes a lot to get a little moistness in my eye. I generally laugh at other people’s misfortune. I get angry with my own. Not sad. Not depressed. […]

hubble

I don’t know how many of you nerds love space and stars and planets and junk, but I stumbled across these beautiful images from the Hubble Space telescope. They are really insane.

Thanks to kadyellebee for the link.

Your Own Personal Zoolander

penguins and fiction

How funny is this? I can’t stop laughing.

I had seen this in video format, but never like this brilliant animated gif. Oh, it is fantastic. I found it on humormeonline.com and reprinted it here without permission. Mariann Simms runs this website and recently won the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest for writing a brilliantly terrible intro to […]

worst possible illusion

About year ago (last August), Witold and I went to see an incredible documentary film. We saw “Worst Possible Illusion: The Curiosity Cabinet of Vik Muniz,” directed by Anne-Marie Russell, produced by Mixed Greens. Vik Muniz is by far my favorite contemporary artist. The movie revealed far more to me than I could have possibly […]

Dark Knight

Here’s a new Batman fan film that’s actually pretty good. Batman’s costume is better than any live action I’ve seen and the cinematography kicks ass. This can’t just be some fanboys. It has to be someone’s reel.

art of the saber

After downloading the Batman movie from Jon’s last post, I explored the site it’s posted on a little bit. I found out that every other fan movie listed is based on Star Wars. I guess that tells us nerds like to make movies or something. Anyway, most are garbage, but I did find one masterpiece.

tragedy in nerd-ville

I just read this troubling story on theforce.net (where the previous fan films are posted) about the Star Wars Kid, that fat, climsy kid from those videos we all laughed about. If this is true, this is NOT GOOD…
The four students who allegedly put the video on the Internet are facing a $250,000 lawsuit. It […]

technology great : analog better

Technological advancement changes the way we look at movies. We could go back and mark some of the fundamental shifts in moviemaking caused by amazing special effects and animation. I don’t feel like talking about them now. Eventually they trickle down out of the sci-fi genre and invade most everything else. One of the latest […]

testing

Hmmm. I appears that sometime earlier this year I disabled the weblogs pinging for new entries because it was slowing down the rebuilds. blogchangebot doesn’t work without it, so I am putting it back and testing. Should be fixed soon.

more subway poetry

I wrote about this once before… Occasionally I am impressed by one of the poems on the subway “Poetry in Motion” boards. Sometimes, I’ll see one once or twice and never again. I hate that. For weeks now, I have been trying to find the text of one of these poems online. I googled and […]
