Agh. What was that site with the Transformers webcomic? ("That's strange, I'm sure I don't own a red microscope...")
*sigh*, I'm just so proud of my staff right now, I could scream.
A guy mooning the window, not a damned thing we can do about it. Them not noticeing and letting him run by three times ... at this point I'm actually better off with a team of trained chimps. Have I mentioned that I hate my job lately?

People answering perhaps the most important question of this our modern age. Viz.: Who would win in a fight, a minotaur armed with a trident or a centaur armed with a crossbow?
I want to see some Noise.
An important video about self-defense.
So I am in the book store and I see a new William Gibson book called Spook Country, intrigued by his books as always I flip through it...at the back is his picture...I have always pictured William Gibson like this:
Instead I see this picture
When did he get so old? I don't know why but the image shocked the hell out of me...makes me realize how long I have been reading his books and the fact that I am actually 33....yeesh, mortality sucks...

I bought the Orange Box and I now have a free gift of Half Life 2 to give to one of you Geeks. First one to email me gets it.
Star Wars TV series -- haven't we heard this before?
I'm not saying a word, I'm just putting it out there.
Some stuff I found....
Remember Tiny Toons takes on 'Then Might Be Giants"?
Particle Man and
Istanbul not Constantanople
Plus, Samwise says Goonies sequal an "almost certainty". At least he admits it will be very hard to make it as good as the original.

Star Wars Trumpet Stacy Hedger. Someone got me with this just after I'd woken up.
Being part of blogcritics I get about 100+ e-mails a day listed new albums, books, dvds, movies, tech, etc... that anyone on the network can ask to review, we also have access to screeners and pre-release materials, etc...I think I am going to write a few articles before I ask to review anything...but if I lived in Hollywood I would TOTALLY have jumped on this one like an addict on a crack pipe:

Haha! Bladesy can't link!!!
In celebration of his wanging the blog, I believe this is what Blades wants for his next Bday party!! Bonus Matt-Points if you can identify where the music is from.

Neeeeeeat. Left Brain/Right Brain thing. I'm clockwise, but I can switch it with a bit of work.
I had the thunk that we did not have a Geek Night Thanksgiving this year. Anyone interested in doing it Americn Style?
Hey...I'm published, sort of.
I am now a contributer to a website called BlogCritics, they are a member of numerous news sites (including google news) and their site is viewed by 10's of thousands daily.
Kinda neat...
I decided to try becoming a contributer and sent them a link to my alt blog (Jericho@Seriougamer) where I write about gaming, tech, and other stuff that I want to rant about that would probably be too boring or long winded for this blog...=-) The owner of blogcritics checked out my posts and accepted my offer to help write...
Anywho, I think it's cool.

Sorry guys...
Sorry guys...

Blabbering idiot has scenes cut from Indy IV. Warning: some very minor spoilers in article.
For Vlad and Darth and maybe a reason for Blades to get a PSP? Final Fantasy Tactics is Bigger, and Better on the PSP! I am not sure if even this can get me to eject the freakin phenomenal Jeanne D'arc from my PSP as I only have about a month to play it before Disgaea comes out...sheesh, traffic lights need to be longer so's I can get more PSP playtime, or I need more of those long useless conference calls to play during....
Okay, I can't make it this week as I scored hockey tickets to the Home Opener vs the Leafs. I may not be much of a hockey fan, but even I can't pass those up. And in two weeks (18th) I will be out of town. So next week I am running Kobolds Ate My Baby. You have been warned.
btw, vlad ... GREEN.

More wonderful toilet training videos from our Japanese friends. (this is more for Jericho) hehe.
you'll love it.
you'll love it.

This may only be exciting to Kal and I but Sony is launching the worlds first OLED Display in December...OLED is:
An organic light-emitting diode (OLED) is any light-emitting diode (LED) whose emissive electroluminescent layer comprises a film of organic compounds. The layer usually contains a polymer substance that allows suitable organic compounds to be deposited. They are deposited in rows and columns onto a flat carrier by a simple "printing" process. The resulting matrix of pixels can emit light of different colors.
What is REALLY cool about OLED is the fact that it generates it's own luminescence so battery life is greatly increased as most of the power needed in LED displays is to light them. Think of a PSP that would last 20 days on a single charge, cell phones that last 30 days, TVs or monitors that use 70% less power....exciting stuff
