Lego Zombies

Thursday, September 27th, 2007

I love the idea of corrupting the vanilla Danish world of Lego. DYZPlastic offers a stellar line of Lego zombies.

Monthly Mashup Vol. 4 – Beautiful Soulja Girlz

Thursday, September 27th, 2007

This month, I combined the South’s hottest new dance track “Crank That Soulja Boy” by the aptly named ‘Soulja Boy’ with Sean Kingston’s “Beautiful Girls” & The Shop Boyz’ “Party Like a Rockstar.” Enjoy!

Mini-Britney vs. New Mini-Britney

Thursday, September 27th, 2007

“What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.”
Thank God.
The L.A. Times reports that there is a “new Mini-Britney” Vegas stage act, replacing a previous inferior (”mini-but-less-Britney“) stage act. Oh good . . . I was worried about that previous one.
Oops, you did it again Vegas.

The Public Has Spoken…

Wednesday, September 26th, 2007

…and an asterisk it is!

After over 10,000,000 votes, 47% of the voting public felt that Barry Bonds’ record breaking home run ball should be sent to the Baseball Hall of Fame, but not before it is permanently branded with an asterisk, marking the controversy that has surrounded Bonds’ pursuit of Hank Aaron and baseball’s all-time home run record.

Video of Marc Ecko, the man who bought the ball at auction and let the public decide what would be done with it, revealing the results on the Today Show can be seen here (scroll to the bottom).  Interesting to note from the video, the Hall of Fame is extremely happy to get the ball, regardless of whether or not it has a brand, and Barry Bonds, when told about Ecko’s plan, called Ecko a “stupid idiot.”  Classic!

Halo 3 Prelaunch Party

Wednesday, September 26th, 2007

When?: September 24th, 2007
Where?: The Microsoft Hall of Doom, Silicon Valley
What?: The HALO 3 Prelaunch Party
Who?: Blogadilla “reporter in the field” – James
Why?: ’cause it’s cool.

Here’s James’ report:
“This last Monday evening, I was lucky enough to be invited by Microsoft to the longest commercial I’ve ever been privileged to partake in. The interesting thing about it being that everyone there was already going to buy the damn product they were hocking. I speak of course of Halo 3, that dastardly game that has taken over the airwaves (as well as the inter-tubes) for a few weeks now, and is at this very moment hogging precious time on beautiful HD TVs the world over.

I attended a pre-launch party for this game-of-games, and it was an… interesting experience. First let me say that after having looked at some coverage of other pre-launches around the world, this one kinda sucked. There was some delicious food, and even more delicious beer (thank you Tide house, even though your bartender did try to sell me on it. Why the hell would I ask for an Ironwood if I don’t already like it?), but none of the huge excitement of the others. Sorry for the bad quality photos, my phone was having a bad day; please bear with me. Here (A) is what it looked like when I walked up. (click to enlarge)

This line carried a few dozen back, and took about 5 minutes or so to get through. Obviously we’re not talking the standard late-teen to college crowd, but rather the Silicon Valley tech geeks we all know and love.

Gummy Anatomy

Tuesday, September 25th, 2007

It’s the end of September and stores are already flooded with Halloween candy. Of course.

I bought the “Gummy Body Parts” assortment.

The pressing question is: What gummy body part is this?

It looks naughty. Let’s pretend it’s an ear.

Twins

Monday, September 24th, 2007

My older sister is gigantically pregnant with twins and is currently in the hospital (they are on their way in the next couple of days). Last week, Garry (a.k.a. “Dirty Taco”) and I did a bodypainting photoshoot with her and her unborn. Here are some of the results – painted by yours truly and photographed by Garry.



All our best to the parents to be, Heather and Adam.
