Dr. Horrible Act II. You. Must. Watch.
Well, Act II is out now. Watch Act I again as a refresher or for the first time if you missed it somehow (what were you not on the internets yesterday??). This one’s a lot more serious than the first episode but Nathan Fillion again shows his comic genius, almost whenever he’s in a scene. [...]
Breakfast Links: Kindle 2.0, NYC Groping & Doctor Horrible
Ok, it’s been a long while since I’ve talked about the Kindle, mostly because it’s just been plugging along, business as usual. The Kindle stores up to like 140k titles now, which is good, but definitely needs more. Now the big rumor is that the next version is going to be rolling out sometime around [...]

Watch Dr. Horrible Act I. Really. Now.
Just in case you somehow didn’t read it this morning, Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog Act I is out now and you should watch it. I mean, it’s less than 14 minutes. What do you have that’s better to do? As if you’re working, please. It’s pretty awesome. NPH is truly excellent. And of course I [...]

Art for a precarious Monday
This backpack bicycle concept is… well it’s a pretty good concept. I mean, it’s kinda ugly both as a backpack and as a bicycle, although it does have some kinda Tron-ny overtones. Also, I can’t tell, but it looks like from the diagrams this thing also turns into a wheely bag [...]

Boba Fett gets his flash dance on!
That title pretty much sums it up! Stop motion with fancy camera work make this thing happen. No water, though… they’d have need some Gondry magic to work that one out, but it’s pretty good times nevertheless. Although, due to that bastard Lucas ignominiously killing off the coolest guy in the trilogy…

Whedon does Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog
Somehow, and I’m still trying to grasp how this is possible - I strongly suspect some “laws of nature” will turn out to be not so much laws but guidelines, I did not know about Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. Thankfully, the ever informative See What’s in my Brain has rectified this situation most thoroughly.
Conceived in [...]

Monday Art is fun!
Ok, tell me if you don’t think this is a bad idea. Philadelphia is rolling out fake speed bumps, that is, they’re putting things down on a flat road that make it seem like there’s a real (3D) speed bump, but there isn’t. (via) Remember when they tried this with fake cop [...]

Clone Wars trailers? Hrmm….
I’ve been iffy on Clone Wars, I mean that interview with Lucas was achingly bad. Now there’s some footage of the thing. Watch first then we’ll discuss:
Well, that doesn’t look too bad. It isn’t hard to make a big budget trailer packed with fighting Jedi that looks good. But check out this trailer with some [...]
Breakfast Links: Bunch o’ Videos Edition
Ok, first up check out this security cam footage of a guy just losing it on his cubicle mates. I mean, he LOSES it, throwing monitors at people, throwing cubicle dividers at people, throwing… paper… at people… Not one person until someone, who I presume to be security, walks in the door and finally gets [...]

Holiday Schedule
Well, I’m off to a weekend of sun, beach and diving. So long suckas. But fear not, this blog will not lie fallow. Just mostly fallow. I’ve spent several long minutes, copy and pasting a review I did elsewhere and writing another post up so there’ll be at least two posts between now and when [...]
