OMD 16 Years Later

The first new OMD album in 16 years comes out Tuesday. The official website is streaming it for free, and I have to tell you it is fantastic. They have also just released their first new video in 20 plus years. Very Post Modern, but what do you expect from an 80's synth band? I'm just so happy to see Andy and Paul making music together again.

Repressed passive aggressive Chinese anger...

I think the second commercial in the series is my favorite.

Never say no to Panda:

MacNinja

Rumors are circulating that Steve Jobs is really a ninja. Caught with shurikens while trying to board a plane might have been his unwanted unveiling. Of course, Apple claims that none of it is true, but isn't that what all ninjas would claim? I think Apple is just a gigantic front for the world's largest group of ninjas. Prove me wrong!

And a collective sigh from sorority row is heard emanating from Oxford...

So after months of anticipation, the campaign to adopt Admiral Ackbar as the official mascot of the Ole Miss Rebels is officially dead. For politically correct reasons, Colonel Reb was dropped as their mascot back in 2003, and they've been without a mascot since then. Predictably, most of the traditional Ole Miss students were against installing the leader of the Rebel Alliance fleet to lead them into football games in the SEC. What surprised me, though, was what actually killed the dream of geeks throughout the South--George Lucas! The guy pimps out Star Wars merchandise to anything that can make a dime, so why stop at the college mascot level?
