Today's Mighty Oak


Quick update for everyone, let’s see what I have today.  First up, from Better Book Titles, “The Colour of Magic” which is the first book of an amazing series:

If you haven’t watched it before, a short TED talk by Frank Warren of PostSecret.  Fun fact, whenever the conversation comes to who I could have dinner with if I could with anyone in the world, Warren is always on my list.  I saw him speak at Pitt and it was amazing, so check out the talk.

Good Old Games is finally able to offer the Quest for Glory series.  All five games!  I’m totally excited and going to be losing a lot of time to these (one and five are the best, in my opinion).  Such amazing games!

I’m trying to find a link, but the rumor I heard on a podcast is that in the upcoming Spiderman tie in game, if you preorder (I think from Amazon), you unlock the ability to play as Stan Lee in one of the levels.  Epic!

Awesome new blog from a jaded copywriter: Depressed Copywriter:

In case you care, which you shouldn’t, check out Bristol Palin’s response to Obama’s interview yesterday.  The irony will make you laugh out loud.  Or weep, probably both, actually.

And if you too need to ‘evolve’ on the issue, may I suggest this link.  I especially love images 4, 6 and 14

The staff of the Stranger got a plastic dinosaur and took lots of pictures with him!

That’s it for now, but I’ll be back again soon, have a great one!

Smaller update today, but here’s what we got, hope you enjoy.

Huge news, URU is finally being released as open source!  I don’t quite understand how it all works, but I’m very excited that the community will finally get to sink it’s teeth into Age Writing (and everything that comes with it).

I”m really afraid of public protests, but I think I could hold this sign up, it’s smart, witty and makes an good argument:

Have you been following all the trouble surrounding Spiderman: Turn off the Dark?  George Takei is going to fix it all:

This is just amazing.  I now kind of want to go bread shopping!

BuzzFeed has the link to a survey of GOP voters from Mississippi.  I don’t think I can sigh enough:

A guy, for Lent, is doing a Monk-diet: only beer and water.  Follow his adventure here.

The new “Kingdom Tower” will be one mile high, twice the height of the Burj Khalifa.  A normal elevator would take 12 minutes to reach the top from the bottom.  And it was just given the go ahead to begin construction.  Crazy!  Take a look:

That’s it for now, catch everyone later!

 



Okay, I’m back, some more fun things from around the Interwebs for you:

First up, major nerd spoiler alert.  You’ve been warned.

The Human Torch was killed off last month, so to fill out the ranks of the previous Fantastic Four (now dubbed The Future Foundation) they’ve added Spiderman to their ranks, and new costumes for everyone:

I think Little Big Planet would be the only reason I’d buy a PS3, and this makes me want to play the game again:

Copyranter shows a really cool bag that can be reused in lots of different ways.  Really cool.

The trailer for X-Men: First Class is out, and even though I’m having a hard time identifying a lot of people, looks pretty awesome:

If you didn’t already think the American Family Foundation were all assholes, now you will.  Apparently, we were justified forcing the Native American’s off their land.  Because you know, they aren’t really families, or something.

Here’s a fantastic ad for the state-level ENDA in Kentucky:

And in case you had any doubt, Republicans have twice as many sex scandals as Democrats (at least in the last decade, and those that were caught/reported of course).  However, big points for the Onion:


Breaking: Anti-Gay Congressman Caught In Affair With Horse



Quick update for everyone.  First off, Randy Rainbow tries to save the Spiderman Musical:

Good news, Sir Ian McKellen will reprise his role as Gandalf in the upcoming Hobbit movies!

This might be the coolest idea for a soap dispenser ever:

I like that it not only saves you money and is better for the earth (no plastic containers for liquid soap that is mostly water anyway), the soap will throw off it’s scent into the air, doing double duty!

I think I’ve always known it, but music, does in fact, make you happy.  And now it’s been proven!

One more quick video (less than 20 seconds):

And lastly today, from NaNoWriMo’s blog, this may be the most awesome book store in the world.  Now I just need a passport and a lot of money to go to Buenos Aires:

That’s it for now, short update, but I’ll be back soon, have a great one!
