Roborooter FU

I have so much to say, but I won't be saying it today! I'm late for my own birthday!

Here's why.

Roborooter's own FU image generator!

That link can have any filename and any message (even blank!) and it will return a random FU image! I'm going to work on a way to encode the messages into the url so people visiting the link don't know what they're in for. Anyway, I'm off!

PSP

The Sony PSP is an incredibly well designed beautiful useless machine. It's got a powerful processor, A beautiful screen, a wireless card, good battery life (if you don't use the UMD drive) and does squat with it.

And Greg from Real Life Comics has made my day.

I still think it's about ten thousand miles from being useful, I mean someone got windows 3.1 to run on it, we could at least have audio or video chat with a USB (it's got that too) webcam. … ooo I'd kill for a touch screen on that baby, heck even just a stylus so they could keep that screen behind the protective plastic…

One day it will be useful, one day.

Google goes "Holiday"

Merry Christmas everyone! No matter what religion you are.

Google has a nice glowing logo today with out any mention of Christmas or Hanukkah, but when I did google searches for Christmas and Hanukkah and found these little easter eggs. =)

Goonies Are Still Around

They were all kids, what happened?

I miss stomp

Cookie Dough Records

The thing reminds me of stomp, I've seen that play like 5 times.

Bubbles

I sorta lost the link I wanted to share, I searched my history relentlessly but to no avail. So I'm going to describe it to you and use some things I did save from the site.

This guy put speech bubbles on advertising around new york. Blank ones, about 15,000 of them. And then people wrote things on them and this guy took pictures.

You can download a pdf of some speech bubbles and print them out, post them around maybe.

WOOOHOO! I found the link. you can tour around his site and see all the photos, some of them are really funny, New Yorkers rock.

The Bubble Project

I'm surprised I haven't seen any of these around, I mean he printed 15 thousand of them. Judging from some of the ads I'd say he started in early 2002 maybe. I'd put this whole project right up next to dressing the crosswalk guys in my book of cool urban vandalism.

Folding Airplanes

Lowe-Tech — portfolio

Ever see anyone fold a paper airplane really fast infront of you? Well now you can have a flash app do it. I haven't tried any of the folds yet but they look really cool.

I should probably tell you all about a neat little firefox extention I found called Stumble!. (It's where all these links are comming from.) But I won't. Now now anyway.

Clock as thin as a wooden block.

I thought this was rather interesting about 3 months ago, I just forgot to tell anybody.

Paper thin Clock

Imagine if you could take a knife to the block…

My good friend Mario! Is at it again! This time he's bringing his own Pizza Pie!

And by Pizza Pie I mean DVD set of his Super Mario Bros. Super Show! That young lad Link get's his friday Zelda special on DVD too!

You can find out more about the shows from X-Entertainment

I also tracked the source of this story back through about 5 or 6 blogs and small time news sites. This all started because DVD planet started pre-selling them.
Super Mario Brothers Super Show
Legend Of Zelda: Complete Series
They're about $20 each, coming out in october it looks like. But the Mario one is listed as "Discontinued" while the Zelda is marked as "Coming soon"

Amazon had the Best of Super Mario Bros. DVD but no mention of the of the other two. All that being said, I'm sure come october you'll be able to find them at any DVD store. Netflix too.

I'm hungry, I think I'm going to go have some pasta and tomato sause. Maybe some garlic. Oh, and did I tell anyone about my new faveriote linux distobution Whoppix? Forget about it, I'll do it another time.
