It's a gooooooood thing...

Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart in the kitchen making brownies. Now I know what she was doing to pass the time during all those days on house arrest.

Hehehehe. It's says...

I pass this building on my way home from work each night. The light in the sign has been out for at least a month now, and I'm surprised no one's bothered to fix it yet. I chuckle every time I see it:

Closer and closer to a Star Trek universe...

Even with the convenience of laptops, iPhones, Kindles, and other gadgets, the experience of flipping through books and magazines still has not been replicated to a point that I actually enjoy using these devices for my reading. I still subscribe to a magazine or two, flip through the morning paper at work, and prefer buying a book at the bookstore over trying to read one on my iPhone. Apple is rumoured to be coming out with a tablet device in the coming months, though, and many magazine publishers are readying themselves for the eventual evolution of their medium to electronic displays. If they incorporate the design strategies outlined in this video, it might actually be another game-changer in how we consume information. I especially like how this guy has thought about the experience of a print magazine, and how it differs from what we get currently online through blogs and RSS feeds, apart from the obvious satisfaction of flipping through pages, and considering the magazine issue as a complete project with a beginning and an end rather than the endless stories we get through the Web.

That would have been one trippy Ewok battle...

Truth be told, I've never read Dune, but I enjoyed the movie adaptation directed by David Lynch. But could you imagine what Return of the Jedi would have been like with him at the helm?

A dirty mind is a horrible thing to waste...

OKC on the New Years




If we already didn't have plans... Flaming Lips will be covering Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon on New Years Eve.

"The Lips will be collaborating with the band Stardeath and White Dwarfs (who boast Wayne Coyne's nephew Dennis Coyne as a member), to perform their own version of Dark Side. Special appearances from Henry Rollins and Peaches are said to also be included."
