I’ve seen this before with Southpark characters, and here it is in Lego.
Click on different body part areas, and change them accordingly. You’ll get the picture when you get there. You can see what I look like (more or less… ok, less) with my lego version.
Airbag - Talons.: “I’ve always liked Idaho and now I like it even more.”
The suits in Boise — for you American school children that’s state capital of Idaho — took the time to commend Jared and Jerusha Hess and the city of Preston for their movie Napoleon Dynamite. I dare say you will have a hard time finding another resolution anywhere that includes words like “chickens with talons”, “Tina the Llama”, and “Kip’s relationship with LaFawnduh.”
As a product of Idaho, and Boise in particular, I’m not so sure what I think of this. On the one hand, I thought Napoleon Dynamite was a horrible movie. Obviously I am in the minority with that opinion, but basically I was bored stiff until the dance routine at the end. Now that was comedy.
On the other hand, it’s always nice to have podunk Idaho get theirs. Because it doesn’t happen all that often. And if you have never been to Preston, all you are missing you can see in the movie. It isn’t like it is a magical and mystical place. It’s boring. And this is coming from a guy who grew up in Boise, not the most exciting of spots.
Special thanks to airbag for bringing this to my attention.
I just started a Wishlist on Amazon.com, mainly so that I could keep track of all the new CD’s that I want to buy. But as I was adding different CD’s to my list, I started thinking about how many different sites have Wishlists, and what exactly are they for?
For example, I have a Wishlist on my account over at Milk and Cookies, which has less than absolutely nothing to do with why I joined the site. I don’t even remember what I have on my Wishlist, but I do know that it has absolutely nothing to do with watching the latest viral video, or playing different online games, which is why I go to the site to begin with.
Are there people in this world that go around searching through other’s Wishlists, and then these people will (gasp*) buy total strangers what they want? If so, how do I get in touch with these people, and show them my wishlist?
I don’t think that it is possible to get in touch with them for the simple reason that they don’t exist!
Or am I wrong? Have you ever had a complete stranger fill an order from your Wishlist and give it to you? Let me know, so that my continued faith in the human race is not completely misplaced.
CBC Arts: Voices behind Tigger, Piglet die:
Now that is a damn shame for the cartoon industry. Not only Tigger, and Piglet, but also Gargamel, Sexton Mouse, Deacon Owl, and Porcupine are now gone forever. What is going to happen when The Smurf’s movie comes out? Because you know that they are thinking about it. Hollywood hasn’t had an original idea since the original idea was to remake old movies and tv shows.
I wonder if these two were friends? I mean, it is interesting enough that they shared the commonality of Winnie the Pooh, but I have to wonder if it goes any deeper than that? I guess we’ll never know…
Seattle Bus Monster: “In the Bus Stops section, type in an address, intersection, or landmark to find bus stops near that location. In the Routes section, type in route numbers to view routes, stops along those routes, and current bus locations. Traffic Conditions gives you access to hundreds of traffic cams in the area.”
Wow, the most amazing use of Google maps that I have seen to date. And Google maps are pretty sweet to start out with.
Basically, this guy has fused Google maps with the King County Bus Schedule to create bus route maps. You can search an address of where a bus will st0p, you can search through route numbers, and it also links to a bunch of traffic cams so you can see what the traffic is like for your commute, right on the Google map.
I wonder if there is a possibility of adding in the satellite images into this interface? It is probably way the hell too much work for what it’s worth, but that would be pretty sweet too.
Seattle Outdoor Cinema | Home: “The Fremont Outdoor Cinema is back for our 14th Season with more than just movies”
I think this is an awesome idea. What is the best way to create a community? Have community events where everyone can walk down, sit around and laugh, talk to their neighbor, and just have a good old time. I’ve personally never been a fan of the “suggested donation”, but for this I might even dole out and watch a movie. Maybe I’ll see you there.
Fremont Solstice Fair - a photoset on Flickr
Here is another set of Fremont Solstice pictures for all you voyeurs out there. I’m sure that mine just weren’t interesting enough for you, so here are some more (including the nekid bikers).
Make sure and check out the cars, some of them are pretty amazing.
Watch Muppet cranks Statler & Waldorf as they review current movies on Movies.com.: “Will War of the Worlds’ aliens scare off our cranky coots? Will Bewitched be the end of Will? Plus, Pepe the Prawn begs Miss Congeniality to cuff him.”
You know, I was really looking forward to this. Statler and Waldorf were the best thing ever to come out of the Muppets, and you could say that they were the original critics. What did they criticize? Everything, which is what made them great.
But after watching the clip, I was bored to tears. How could you take something so good and make it so bad? Honestly, the best part of the clip was when Pepe the Prawn referred to the movie as “Miss Congenitalia 2″. Now that’s funny.
“How to make a solar power generator”: “Using parts easily available from your local stores, you can make a small solar power generator for $250 to $300. Great for power failures and life outside the power grid. Power your computer, modem, vcr, tv, cameras, lights, or DC appliances anywhere you go. Use in cabins, boats, tents, archaeological digs, or while travelling throughout the third world. Have one in the office store room in case of power failures in your highrise. I keep mine in my bedroom where it powers my cd player, turntable, lights, modem, laptop, and (ahem) a back massager. I run a line out the window to an 8′ x 24′ panel on the roof. “
I thought that this was pretty awesome, and as soon as I run across an extra $300, I’m on it. I’ll let you know how it works out, and then we can start having parties anywhere. We won’t be limited to party only where there is electricity, or only when we have batteries. It’ll be great!
What does this mean? Well, it means that posts should start coming more frequently now, because it is now a whole heck of a lot easier to post. All I have to do is open up a desktop application, type in my post, and it is online. None of this searching through my bookmarks for the blogger page, logging in, editing settings and posts, etc.
If you are curious, check out wBloggar yourself, and see what it is and if it can help you out. And check back here to see if I will actually start posting more and more often. Later.
My girlfriend’s neice positioned her Barbie this way last week, saying that she turned her Barbie into a Superhero, and all her mom could think of was “Should I be worried?”
I thought to myself “Well Hell yes! You’ve got a closet case SM/bondage fetishist on your hands!” And it is a good thing that I thought that to myself, because that is not even close to what came out of my girlfriend’s mouth next.
She started going on and on about how 9/11 has affected the children, and how this is obviously a re-creation of some hostage situation that her neice had seen on TV, and blah blah blah.
Is it just me? I mean, I look at these pictures, and I see Bondage in action. And I’m not talking about the James variety, but the real deal. Where did I go wrong?
I’m now testing 
for photo sharing. I have a couple of pictures up so far on the flickr site.
Please let me know if this is easier, harder, or indifferent when compared to the Ofoto pictures, thanks.
Update: I am more than likely changing back to the Ofoto pictures, since I have almost used my entire allotted Flickr space already, and have only loaded up three sets of pictures. If you haven’t seen them yet, check them out.
