Here is a very interesting Time article about surviving disasters and freezing up.

OMG! I never knew he was such a good guy.

I never knew that The Shrub was such a really good guy.

Do you believe that in a show of solidarity to families who lost soldiers in the war, he actually GAVE UP GOLF.

I finally realize what a fine human being The Shrub is.

As seen other-where but with a bad link.

-------------------------

Christianity
In the beginning there was an ultimate being. Which created everything.

Atheism
In the beginning there was nothing. Which exploded.
Sit and Spin
...no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, ad nauseum.

Most of you will not get this and that is ok, but those of you who actually like japanime will probably agree that "this can only end in tears."

Dreamworks Aquires Rights to Ghost in the Shell

Freaking Spielburg.

I agree with most of the comments attached to this reference on Slashdot.

My favorite was this one by MythoBeast:

"We've talked with the people at Dreamworks, and here's a quick list of the improvements that they hope to bring to the latest installation in the Ghost in the Shell franchise:

10. Cute kid to follow everyone around and ask a lot of questions.
9. Helpless female with nasal voice that screams a lot and has to be rescued over and over.
8. Less edgy animation so that American audience doesn't find it quite so jarring.
7. Speaking of jarring, do you think we could borrow Jar-jar from Lucas?
6. Deep philosophical conundrums replaced with pop psychology and Jedi aphorisms.
5. More clothing to avoid the R rating.
4. More senseless violence to fill in the parts we had to take out.
3. A properly evil villain so people know who to hate.
2. Good old-fashioned technobabble.
1. A talking Donkey."


This could only be worse if Uwe Boll of BloodRayne 1, 2 & 3 somehow became involved.

I'm now going to go sit in the corner and cry for awhile. >>sniff<<

It's good to see they have work...

When reading one of my tech sites where it was talking about high speed broadband being sent over fiber lines that extend all the way into the house, I came across this article with an unexpected notation.

This might work for Kaylee but I don't think the "fat hobbit" would fit.
Grrrr
I know I can't have either of these but dammit I still want them. I am sooo jonesing for a 4x4 and as Robin Leech would say "...and I don't know why!"

I have never been accused of being the greenest guy around but "I" would actually like to have one of these:

Introducing "The Gravia"

I like the idea that it will "yellow" in 10-15 years and that it will last about 200 years. This way it can become a heirloom that can be passed along from generation to generation.

Some day you will either see these on The Antiques Roadshow and the expert will be talking about the lovely yellowing and crazing of the plastic, or they will be filling our landfills with plastics that will not degrade for thousands of years.

Ok, real quick so I can go to bed.

Since we are having such miserable weather here and since I do so love the snow.
Here is what we should all see when we look out the window.

And here is a weird but geeky alphabet just for fun!

In looking for the best links for you I looked from the the very lowest part to the very end of the interwebs.

After all that I had to go with [info]weaselmom's choice (since it IS her birthday).

Wouldn’t it suck to be a bored turret waiting to “dispense product?”



To those of you who don’t know what Portal is, see the Wiki about it here.

And if you want to hear what the turrets really sound like in-game go here.

And on the eighth day he created Photoshop.

But that just makes me want to reference Sammy the Salmon.

That is all.

Grrrr
You would think that an entity dedicated to security would keep that in the forefront when doing anything.

I guess I'm WRONG

I do love the articles pic "Epic Fail". snerk

Are you any good at 3D spatial cogitation?

The Evil Empire strikes back... Or are they just clueless?
