Today's Mighty Oak


Alright, let’s see what I have today.

First up, a strange, and what looks like a very uncomfortable bike:

Also, what happens when someone else locks up their bike but you want to leave?

Apartment Therapy has a post up about surface computing.  I like the idea of being able to “create” a coaster, an area that is movable, that won’t interact with what is placed on it.

Aside from the fact that guys are reading Playboy while getting their hair cut (that seems odd to me), it’s a good ad, I didn’t see the ending coming at all, either:

In case you didn’t hear, CNN reported the ruling on the ACA incorrectly on Thursday:

Some of the Lebanese people are sick of protests.  So they protested.  But at least they didn’t get fined.

I saw this floating around Facebook, and The Good Men Project picked it up as well:



I’m waiting for Dropbox on my work computer to download about 1,000 more pictures, so while that goes, I figured I’d pop over here and do a quick entry, hope you enjoy!

First up, some music:

Here’s a cool article in The Stranger about a Lebanese artist, defying the government to create his art.

Sadly, it looks like SOPA will rear it’s ugly head again in February, politicians and the MPAA hoping enough people will have forgotten by then.

A creative entry into the Shit [blank] Says meme:

Awesome art project that is being installed down route 75 here’s a favorite:

 

That’s it for now, but I’ll be back with more soon!



Quick update for everyone, which will be a whole lot of pictures, actually.  Another update with video will be coming later, probably tomorrow.

First off, WWNPHD?  Get your t-shirt here:

There is a Star Wars convention coming up in Orlando.  Even though I’m a huge nerd, I didn’t know about this.  But most importantly, they are giving away custom cereal!  I really want the Admiral Ackbar cereal, but I’m afraid it’s a trap.  Check out Greedo’s and Raisin Han, too!

Quantum Mechanix has some new merchandise, including this awesome figure of Wash from Serenity (I actually just washed that episode yesterday):

Not a picture, but it was an awesome video.  More reasons why I love Rep. Grayson!

An Anglican church in New Zealand has some awesome billboards, including this one which I absolutely love:

Here is the other one I’ve found from them:

Did you follow along with the Old Spice one day social media blitz?  It was pretty awesome, but I loved reading about how they pulled it off.  Sounds tiring, but worth it!

And finally, copyranter takes a look at an ad from  Beirut.  And their nightlife.  Which is apparantly reminiscent of bombs.  Sigh.

That’s it for now, but I’ll be back soon after I get some more work done, catch everyone in a bit!



Quick update for everyone:

Are you on Facebook?  Of course you are, so why don’t you go and become a friend of Episcopal Priest Barbie!  I know, it’s pretty awesome.

This video is pretty cool, would be a neat application for cubicle dwellers, if the feeds could be set to be live from and outside location:

In religion news, I like Wheat Thins, I think they are far superior than Triscuits, but I will stand in solidarity with Triscuit, being as that is one of the names of my car.  Have no idea what I’m talking about?  Neither do I, here’s the quote that started it all:

Darwinist faggots who are as despicable as the rest, walking around eating your Triscuits.”

But Gawker caught up with the spokesperson for Triscuit:

Basil Maglaris, a spokesperson for Kraft Foods, the company that makes Triscuits, was nevertheless also stumped when asked why Islamic extremists might target his innocuous and nutritious charges. “I don’t think we have any comment on that,” he said. “Triscuits are a very popular cracker. We have a broad variety of people who love them these days.”

Except Islamic extremists?

“(Pause.) Everyone loves Triscuits, and we hope that everyone enjoys them.” We consider this to be a coded call for unity and peace. The religious and the secular alike must enjoy the crackers of their choice, free from the tyranny of snack censorship.

And in other religion news, a giant protest was held in Lebanon to demand the separation of Church and State.  Pretty interesting read.

This is a pretty awesome trailer for Super Mario Galaxy 2 (the second half is just color bars, don’t bother watching for any new tidbits).  The entire campaign is really fun, with awesome little sound bites here and there including “Good gravy!”:

Two more videos, then I’ll let you go, first off, Betty White is getting ready to host SNL, here’s the promo:

And finally, I’m an Independent.  But I think I might change my affiliation to Bear Party (I seem to remember this from some time ago, but it’s good to be reminded of it)
