Green Lantern's LIGHT!

It's happening. News right HERE

Okay, but another "origin" story? Really DC? Is that the way to go?

Anyone else tired of the origin stories? Let's just start with the superhero, in existence and doing his/her thing. Let's have a comic-book story, with everyone in costume from the beginning to the end, no "human interest" rubbish. That's the way it's done.

Hollywood, are you listening? How about you, DC?

Didn't think so.

However, this Fan Trailer ROCKS!

Crazy about Linux

I don't have a computer that doesn't have Linux installed on it. That's how I am. That's how lots of people are. It's fun, it's free, and it's legal. We indulge.

However, there are limits. This is a jokey way of telling us that. You could install Linux on an iPhone. On TiVo (actually, it's already there). Or an Xbox.

Or you could install it on a Dead Badger. Like the animal. Detailed instructions

By the way, if you want to "do" Linux, I highly recommend PCLinuxOS.

Disney Recycle?

Okay, this is really eye-opening! I had NO IDEA that disney re-used their scenes, frame by frame. I knew that Kaa was in Jungle Book and Robin Hood, as was Baloo, but I mean, well, gee...

Just watch this, okay? You will FREAK OUT! Promise.

The creepy music doesn't help with the whole 'not-freaking-out' thing.

Wolfpigeons and Sharkfalcons and Crocodeagles, "Oh MY!"

This was a great April 1st (hint-wink) release by Qualcomm. It almost sounds serious as they talk of genetically manipulated wolfpigeons, sharkfalcons, and a fleet of crocodeagles, “large enough to blot out the sun”

Awesome job, guys. Almost had me fooled.

Blending Norris

Those of you familiar with the Blendtec Blender (http://www.willitblend.com/) probably know about their great online videos. You know, when they blend glow sticks, or plungers, ipods and iphones, video cameras, even a crowbar!

But will Chuck Norris blend?

Com'on, what do YOU think?

Extreme Sheep

It's a light display! It's a sheepherding display! It's a combination extravaganza!

Look, if you haven't seen it, there isn't any way to describe this. Just watch it. It's amazing what a few bored shepherds can do with sheep. Um, and LED lights.

Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens

If you are ever in South Florida you could do worse than to go to the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens. From their webpage:

Since its opening in 1977, The Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens has been a center for Japanese arts and culture in South Florida, with rotating exhibitions in its galleries, tea ceremonies performed monthly in its Seishin-an tea house, an educational outreach program with local schools and organizations, and Japanese traditional festivals celebrated for the public several times a year.

Oh hai! Try to make it to the anime festival. They do a good job.
