Baby Hugs Made Easy

Found this here. :3

Step One: Find a Baby. Here’s a fine specimen:

Second, ensure the object you found is indeed a baby by employing classic sniffing techniques.

Prepare the baby for hugging by first flattening it:

Fourth: The “paw slide.” This one’s tricksy. You may have to practice this before attempting.

Finally, execute the difficult and patented “hug, smile, and lean” so as to achieve the best photo quality.

WALL-E? More like WOOD-E.

Some people have waaaaay too much time on their hands, but that doesn’t mean I can appreciate their output. Take this for example:

Over at CoolStuff, they have the full description:

Created by Hertfordshire, United Kingdom-based sculptors and CNC/rapid-prototyping masters Morpheus, this wooden WALL-E sculpture is a limited edition of one. Commissioned by Disney as a gift for Pixar/Disney chief creative officer John Lasseter. Look at the extreme detailing in the photo below.

Very awesome:

He-Man Movie Canned

It seems that Warner Brothers doesn’t want to make a He-Man Movie.

And with all honesty, can anyone blame them, what with the cartoon being so fucking cheesy (though, that may just be the usual 1980’s action cartoon cheese that’s blinding my judgment)? If any He-Man fan can explain to me why a He-Man movie is a good idea, then I’m all ears. Until then, I’m going to have to agree with the project’s canning.

Music and Travel and Updates, Oh My!

Y halo thar, Internet. It’s been a while, huh? I know I’m a horrible boyfriend, and that if this negligence doesn’t stop, then you’re going to dump me and go out with the crazy rocker guy down the street and be a rebel and…

Wait, what? Sorry, I got a little carried away there. But yeah… it’s been a while since I’ve reported in with my life or some random thing from digg or StumbleUpon. Much like a spy satellite over Canada, I have very little to report.

Pretty much the only thing exciting that’s happened since I last put the proverbial quill to paper on this blog are two concert I was in attendance for.

The first was Mae at the University of Arkansas (YAY! Free shows for the win) and the second was Anberlin, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, Straylight Run, and There for Tomorrow in Oklahoma City.

Re: The First. Mae had to have the weirdest fucking opening act ever: The Memphis Pencils. Mullets, trombones, and heavy psychedelics are all the words I think I need to describe this band. I’m not sure if this video does the band justice, but it gives you a taste of what I saw that fateful night:

Other than that, Mae were fucking awesome. They had some sort of strange dancing contest, which provided for many lulz.

The second set of concerts, however, may quite possibly be the most epic string of four hours in my life. I was extremely scared for my life during SKSK. Anberlin fucking pwnd faces. I’m pretty sure I almost threw up a few times, I was screaming so hard during Anberlin. Which makes it all the more epic.

That’s all I got for now. I know that’s pretty much the anti-climax for a blog post, but I’ve got nothing, and it’s late which means I need to go to sleep. I’ll try not to be so slacking in my updating duties for you, Internet. Just don’t leave me! :3

AIM is a Pretty Cool Guy.

Eh lets you send text messages for free and doesn’t afraid of anything.

I’m sure many of you out there have used AIM before. It’s AOL’s ubiquitous instant messenger client that’s used by every 13-year-old girl under the sun.

But did you also know that you can send SMS text messages for free via this wonderful service? Well, ladies and gentlemen, you can, and it’s quite easy to do.

I use Trillian for AIM, so I don’t know the exact procedure from sending a message to someone on the official client, but all you have to do is send a new IM to “+1(phonenumber)”. For example: +15556667777″ would send the text to 1-(555)-666-7777. Easy huh?

I’m not sure if this works outside of the US (I’m guessing probably not), but it’s worth a shot!

A Happy Day for Gamers Everywhere!

Hey Internet. It’s been a while since you’ve heard from me, huh? I don’t really have a good reason other than laziness, so I’m not going to bore you with the details. School’s been going pretty well. Classes are boring. Doing lots of things with friends is not. In fact, it’s quite awesome. I’m going to two amazing concerts in the coming few days, and if I’m not extremely lazy, then expect some posts about those.

But that is not the subject of this post.

Jack Thompson <- This man is. If you don't recognize the face, it is that of Jack Thompson, Attorney at Law; activist against violent video games.

Until today, that is. As of today, he is Jack Thompson, crazy person. In thirty days, he will no longer a member of the Florida Bar Association, as the Florida Supreme Court has ruled him to be disbarred. He has the thirty days to deal with any current clients, and there is a chance for a re-trial, but in order for that to happen, a member in good standing with the Florida Bar Association has to submit the case. And let’s be honest: there’s not many people who want to risk their careers on Jack Thompson.

Oh, did I mention he’s crazy:

The timing of this disbarment transparently reveals its motivation: This past Friday Thompson filed a federal civil rights action against The Bar, the Supreme Court, and all seven of its Justices. This rush to disbarment is in retribution for the filing of that federal suit. With enemies this foolish, Thompson needs only the loyal friends he has.

Guest Entry: America Has This One Right

Hi guys! galador again. From the far reaches of the Intarnat, I bring you the guy that brought you this. Come, children, and hear about his next “great” adventure…. er, post.

So, this isn’t some biased opinion, it actually makes sense. Here’s the thought. We, America, are right in measuring the weight of objects and people in pounds (lbs). Right now you’re thinking 1 of 3 things:

1) Stupid American who is waaaay to biased to have a valid opinion, and being American, wouldn’t have an intellegent opinion anyway.
2) Hell yeah! America RAWKS. I mean, pounds… pounds rock!
3) I really shouldn’t have eaten that third soft taco.

To people in category one, here’s my answer: Pounds make more sense than (kilo)grams because pounds are a measure of actual weight whereas the kilo(gram) is a measure of mass. Weight is gravity’s pull on that mass. It’s different, yo’.

Dudes in group two: *high five* Ewww, you could at least clean the burger grease from your hands… without licking them. *shudders*

And number tres: No, no you shouldn’t have.

Oh Hay There

Holy crap! I just realized I have not updated this thing since long before Shakespeare wast a boy… You would not believe that I actually have a life. Apologies to my regular readers! Even the little blue ones!.

I am totally exhausted with responding to fan mail, being distracted by the shiny, and just generally being a delightful mistress to anyone unfortunate enough to cross my path. My day is full to overflowing from when the light through yonder window breaks to well after sun-down. I am totally exhausted. I need a nap.

I swear on the bones of my ancestors if one more person emails me to ask why I haven’t posted today I will start posting pictures of toe fungus, or fecal murals. Truly! This is for my ever faithful, devoted public… What do you mean you don’t believe me?

Woo, Job

I finally got a job. It’s only temporary (tomorrow’s actually my last day after only working with them for ten days), though, but it’s still decent.

The downside is that I’ve worked soooo much the past nine days. I’m almost at 50 hours in 5 days alone.

More on this development when I’m less tired and can type more than five words without messing something up.

In a completely unrelated note, WordPress 2.6 is out, so I’ll have to upgrade my software in the very near future. Expect some downtime when that happens.
