New additions. You get points if you know their names!
I’ve read two of these books (I can’t find the third one), and they are great, although it’s been a while, so I don’t remember much. But anyway, I’m very excited for this:
More soon!
We just made it through national visitation, so my summer will slow down a bit for now. I’ll be back to posting more regularly in a few days. Until then, I’d like to present you with the following video:
Two Star Wars related videos for your enjoyment this evening:
Another quick update for everyone:
First up, for all of those who pre-ordered Duke Nukem 10 years ago…if you have your receipt, GameStop will honor that pre-order. Which is awesome!
I want to fly Air New Zealand just to watch this:
Let’s take a moment to look at the changing logos of pop:
Well, this is dumb. Borders, is trying to convince the judge in their bankruptcy trial to let them hand out over 8 million in bonuses to their executives.
Getting your heart broken actually hurts your heart (the organ). How sad.
This reminds me so much of Riven, but I want one:
If you haven’t seen Jack Draws Anything, check it out, he is raising money for sick kids in England.
For those that follow soccer, this is a really cool use of ad space:
So, one of the things that annoys me the most is religious intolerance. I railed against it at college, and I like to think I made a difference. A coworker posted this, and I jumped in with the link, because of course, there can’t be any wrong information on the Internet. Of course, the conversation quickly turned to making plans to go out (a strength of the Internet). And to her credit, although the comment was gone by the time I took the screenshot, the original coworker posted an awesome comment about how it’s great that people can have a conversation like this online and we wouldn’t be able to do that in some other countries.
Then however, bigotry reveals its ugly head:
I could easily debate circles around my former coworker (who I am not mentioning, I may be upset and mad, but I’m not going to additionally link to her name, since it’s in an image, it won’t be picked up while I talk about her hatred and bigotry), but I choose not to, as I was positively seething.
Guess she can ignore the sixth point of the Scout Law (A Scout is Kind, for those not in the know).
And in other dumb facebook updates that I really hope are sarcastic, but knowing my friends it probably wasn’t:
Short entry, but I thought it warranted it’s own post. Slog has a great post up about the safety of gun-ownership. Check it out and check out all the studies that are linked. If you take nothing else, please, please take a gun safety course and keep your guns and ammo locked up. Too many people don’t.
And I’m back, with more fun stuff for you! First up, watch this trailer, I’m freaking excited for this:
VH1 is bringing back Pop-up Video, and has ordered 60 episodes. I might be even more excited about that.
This PSA ran during the season finale of Glee, and I really, really like it. I hope it’s effective (and I should work on that myself, I’ve gotten better, but it certainly pops out every now and then):
Speaking of Harry Potter (from my last post), what if he had an MBA, check out the gallery here:
One of my favorite blogs has a post up about the fake necessity of repeating something seven times before it is remembered. Go check it out. Enjoy the rage.
And here’s an awesome video involving ball pit balls and magnets:
F5 2011 RE:PLAY Film Festival. Inductance from Physalia Studio on Vimeo.
I’m a little behind, but here is a gallery of awesome signs from Borders:
Stephen Colbert takes on habitual liar (not intended to be a factual statement) Jon Kyl. Here’s a favorite, and here are the rest:
In case the embed code does not work below, go and watch John Lithgow perform an actual press release from Newt Gingrich. I will repeat, these are the words, verbatim, from an actual press release. How amazing!
And finally
Sometimes Commodore is really a greenhouse. The dirt and new pots were in the front seat…
Also, sometimes I forget to rotate the image and it’s stuck. Just go with it…
Quick update here, although I’m hoping to do some more updates that will show up later this week and next.
Lots of fun movies, lets start with this one, shared by my friend Kyle:
The Hobbit films finally have release dates and titles. I think it’s weird they’re using “There and Back Again” even though the story of the Hobbit (plus a bunch of extra stuff) is going to take two movies. But then again, I don’t really believe that these will stay as the release dates.
Here’s a fun movie to help you learn the 50 states:
This is all over the blogs this week, but prisoners overseas, instead of doing manual labor, are getting carpal tunnel farming gold which is then sold for real money. Weird.
Rachel Maddow has a great list of parody movies about the Republican presidential field.
If you’re not, you should be very excited about the upcoming Harry Potter movie. This will make the wait even longer:
And here is an amazing, amazing, cover, please listen:
And lastly, in really dorky news, here is the long-awaited update about the Myst movie, including what may be a new direction for the script.
That’s it, but there will be more soon!
