That made me excited to hear what he has to say about the Iphone.Yes, I know I'm a nerd. [/topics/etc] permanent link Sat, 26 Jan 2008 Dr Klaw lives! For those of you who wonder what I do with the precious little spare time I have, one of those things I like to do to relax is make useless crap like this. Enjoy! [/topics/tech] permanent link Fri, 18 Jan 2008 RIP Bobby Fischer The only US citizen to ever be crowned the world champion of chess died. Checkmate. [/topics/etc] permanent link Wed, 16 Jan 2008 the disintegrator Witness the power of the Disintegrator the world's most awesome rubber band gatling gun. Tremble at it's raw power! [/topics/tech] permanent link Tue, 15 Jan 2008 what the smurf?! I blogged about this video a long time ago, but never had the complete commercial until now. In honor of the Smurf's 50th anniversary, please check out their anti-war PSA that's sure to horrify any human being outside of Gargamel. [/topics/etc] permanent link Mon, 14 Jan 2008 the devil's annulment Opinion Polls & Market Research Here's your chance to make your opinion heard on the new direction of Amazing Spider-Man. In case you didn't know already, it seems Peter Parker struck a deal with Mephisto to erase his marriage from history in exchange for the life of Aunt May. He also managed to gain his secret identity back in the bargain, despite having recently unmasked during the civil war. Personally, I haven't enjoyed many Spider-Man comics in the last few years, so I'm glad for anything that brings some fun back to what was once my favorite character. I don't think the way it was handled was very elegant, but I guess the upside of such arbitrary revisionism is that they can always just change it back again if they ever get a new Editor In Chief. But I want to know how you feel about it! [/topics/polls] permanent link Fri, 11 Jan 2008 another thing I need This is yet another invention that's so logical I can't believe it wasn't thought of before now. How many times have I frozen my arse off when having to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night while camping? Too many times, that's how many! Although now that I think about it, the one feature that seems conspicuously absent on this model is a velcro fly. [/topics/etc] permanent link Fri, 04 Jan 2008 human tetris The creator of this cool video also has versions of pong and space invaders with all human pixels. [/topics/etc] permanent link Thu, 03 Jan 2008 Dungeon Majesty I'm shocked that I never heard of this show before. It combines Dungeons & Dragons with the one thing it was never designed to be mixed with: chicks.
