Today's Mighty Oak

“The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person doing it.”



Quick update and a couple videos to share with everyone today:

I just saw the trailer a few days ago, and I’m very excited for The Darjeeling Limited, Wes Anderson’s new movie.  I loved The Royal Tennenbaums and The Life Aquatic, hopefully this will be just as good!  I’m also really excited for Across the Universe, so hopefully I’ll get to see that as well.

As I was searching for the trailer for The Darjeeling Limited, I found this video, I really liked how it was done.  I don’t have a camera or anything, but it could make for a cool blog post nonetheless on the fifth of November.

Google apparently is working on a new Virtual World, and is going to be testing it with the students at Arizona Statue University.  "My World" is expected to rely on google applications such as Earth, maps, and most likely in some way, ads.  Their stated goal is not to recreate Second Life, but to make a digital version of our first life.  Interesting, I’ll be curious to see how it turns out.

GameVideos has a video which used the Halo 3 Forge (level editor and movie creation feature) to make Mario 1-1.  While it doesn’t always match up right, the sound effects and use of the level elements make it funny.

On a humorous note, there seems to be a trend concerning moose: they like to think they are cows.  As awkward as they are (have you ever seen one run?) maybe they just want some company?  Check out the Yahoo! news story about it here.

Yesterday, I ordered pizza online from Papa John’s for the first time.  They had some really good deals which were online only, and I’d definitely do it again, although it was a bit later than the e-mail said it was going to be, but otherwise, it was a good experience.

I think that’s it for now, look for my Homecoming recap in the next few days and I’ll catch everyone later, have a great one!
