This is the best movie of the year.
This is arguably the best comic book movie ever made.
Heath Ledger will win, and most certainly deserves to win, an Oscar for his performance as the Joker.
This movie is intense, suspenseful, dramatic, gut-wrenching, brutal, funny, exciting, and an absolutely masterful work of art.
It’s run time is something like [...]
Premise: A Batman animated film, produced by the creator of the great Batman: The Animated Series, done entirely in the style of Japanese anime.
I know what you’re thinking, “Sweeeeeeeet,” right?
WRONG!
First of all, this isn’t actually a film, it’s a series of short story vignettes that are loosely held together. Something that comes up in the [...]
Day-after-Friday fun!
Here’s a video of the characters from the original Star Trek tripping out, set perfectly to the music of Jefferson Airplane.
I love The Shat.
This has been around for a while, but some of you may not have seen the gameplay footage of the game Gears of War 2. Ignore the dork in the x-small t-shirt yapping in the beginning, and note the use of a Locust warrior as a meat shield at about 2:20. Also, if you’re unfamiliar [...]
Hilary Talbot went ahead and made what appears to be a papier-mâché version of Twitter’s now legendary Fail Whale (the stupid picture you get every time Twitter is busted… which is, like, all the time).
I think that’s nifty.

A bunch of classic DC Comics TV shows, including the legendary Batman the Animated Series, have now made their way onto iTunes. It’s only a couple seasons, at most, from some of these shows, but it’s a great start. In particular, I recommend the BtAS episode “Beware the Gray Ghost”, which sets up Bruce Wayne’s [...]
I’m not sure if this is awesome or horrifying. Probably a little bit of both.

Harptallica is a Metallica tribute band that consists of two sorta-emo looking girls playing harps. No drums. No guitars. Harps.
Judging from what’s available on their site I’d say that the results are mixed. “One” and “Unforgiven” seem to lend themselves very well to harpification. “Battery” and “Master of Puppets”, not so much.
One should note that [...]
I can’t believe I wasn’t told about this earlier. You know, considering my all consuming obsession with liopleurodons!

Honestly, this is the funniest video I’ve ever seen that didn’t include animal theft or Soundwave raping a Mr. Coffee.
Here’s the rundown on Apple’s performance this quarter:
Macs sold: a boat load.
iPods sold: a shit load.
iPhones sold: a “holy shit!” load.
Source: Apple PR (sorta).
I realize iPhone hysteria has pretty much subsided in most places (except my pants!) but I just came across this video of a woman who paid $800 to a kid to get his #1 spot on launch night, thinking she was going to buy thousands of dollars worth of iPhones to sell on eBay.
This is [...]
By far the worst of the films so far. After it was done my friend commented that he really enjoyed “the part where something happened”. I think that sums the movie up pretty well.
It seems the War on Wildlife has gone international, as not even our allies in the United Kingdom are safe! No longer satisfied with brutal force, the animal kingdom is now launching attacks against our economies.

You may think you can scare us with petty theft, seagulls, but I have a pocket full of Alka-Seltzer and [...]
All along the watchtower, my ass.
Dylan Meconis took it upon himself to render the cast of “Battlestar Galactica” as “Simpsons” characters, to hilarious ends. The best part of it all is that in translation he summed up each of these characters extremely well.
Honestly, these pictures are more entertaining than all of Season 3 was.
The science crowd has spent the last hundred years ramming their stupid monkey-based theories down the throats of honest Americans. Thankfully, a great and wise movement has given rise in recent years with the goal of shedding light on the true origin of Man, and that movement is called Intelligent Design. Intelligent Design teaches us [...]
Having heard of attack on their undead avian brethren the animal kingdom has decided to retaliate.
When asked to comment on why the animal kingdom would attack us, White House press secretary Tony Snow gave the following statement:
They hate us for our freedoms.
Yahoo! News provides a link to a surveillance video of the incident in the [...]
John Gruber gives a great rundown of the limited number of fonts available on the iPhone. He even includes a nifty table showing what is and isn’t available. Well played, indeed.
The only point I would add is that not only are there a limited number of fonts available on the iPhone, but the fonts that [...]
PETER MOORE’S NECROPOLIS OF PAIN (AP) - Peter Moore, corporate vice president for the Interactive Entertainment Business of Microsoft, has stepped down from his post to spend more time with his family, and to pursue a career as an evil wizard.
Moore oversaw the global launch of Microsoft’s Xbox 360 game console, which was considered by [...]
Dear Image Hot-linkers,
I’ve noticed that there’s been a dramatic increase in traffic coming here from Google Image Search and I assume it’s because of my mad Photoshop skillz, however, I’ve noticed that with that increased traffic there has been a dramatic increase in image hot-linking. If you don’t know what that is, it’s when you [...]
Contrary to what the Catherine Zeta Jones sandwich news story might suggest, there are still very important things happening in the world that demand proper coverage.
Story Highlights

* The peacock was beaten so badly it had to be euthanized
* Witnesses said [...]

For manly men who would like to also enjoy the tales of a teenage boy and his wand, here are some fake covers you can wrap the new Harry Potter book in so no one will know you’re a giant pussy.

A 75-year old Swedish woman has, it seems, the fastest Internet connection known to man.
How fast are we talking about? The articles explains:
Sigbritt will now be able to enjoy 1,500 high definition HDTV channels simultaneously. Or, if there is nothing worth watching there, she will be able to download a full high definition DVD in [...]
The Japanese make awesome video games. The goal of Rose & Camellia is simple, slap the hell out of the other chick, and avoid getting slapped back. This is quality entertainment, folks.
Nima’s wish: that someone would make a version of this game based on Dynasty.
When Steve Jobs made his pre-iPhone launch company wide sermon speech he mentioned that they (Apple) were hard at work on putting OS X on other devices, including the iPod. In writing you call a line like that a throwaway — it’s something that means absolutely nothing to the matter at hand (iPhone) but that [...]
Cyclonus and Shockwave were two of my favorites.
Matt Moylan’s web comic is the best web comic ever!!! The newest ones deal specifically with the Transformers movie.
Stupendously, he incorporates other characters into the comic as well. You can check out the entire cast of Lil Formers here.
N’Gai Croal’s Level Up reports that Sony’s marketing is retarded.
She might bore you shitless, but damn, your girlfriend has dumps like a truck!
Really, I’m not surprised. These are the same geniuses that decided a creepy babbling baby would sell some Playstation 3s. Yeah, well, I’ll see about going to GameStop after I stop cowering in [...]
An absolutely hilarious webcomic!
Cthulhu, for those that don’t know, is a frickin’ awesome badass squid-guy-thing that H.P. Lovecraft came up with following a very nasty encounter with some unfresh calamari. Or something to that effect.

A wedding cake in the shape of a bunch of video game consoles is a wedding cake I can get behind.
If I were to ever get married I’d insist on having a cake like this, except with a Nintendo Wii instead of the Gamecube, and maybe an Atari Jaguar [...]
A nice view of the structures of atoms. Would have been useful many moons ago when I still cared about the structures of atoms. Now, I sort of just take electrons with downspin for granted.
A little old, but The MQ (formerly Muir Quarterly) published the spectacular article, Born Again MacGyver Disproves Evolution Using Peanut Butter, a Baseball, a Rubber Band, and a Pocket Knife.
MacGyver said he had hoped someone would find and release him, but in three months no one ever came. “As a secret agent,” he said, “I [...]
This is probably one of the better Apple i-Product parodies I’ve seen.
Every revolution begins with an idea. Daydreams, aspirations, a vision for the future. Movements are formed, culture is born and people’s lives are changed. Meet the ultimate device for capturing those seeds of change - your thoughts.
I’d buy one.
Dear Michael Bay,
As you most likely have heard, I previously asked you to “please stop shitting on my childhood” and struck you down with three hadoukens. Well, having now seen your film, Transformers, allow me to apologize for accusing you of shitting on my childhood. I also not only redact the three hadoukens I gave [...]
Mark my words, one day I will be a character on the Simpsons! A pantless character on the Simpsons…
Gamers will have a chance to kill the creator of the Simpsons, Matt Groening, in the new Simpsons video game.
They did a send-up of videogames. It’s a videogame about videogames; and I’m in the videogame.
Personally I’d be [...]
For your enjoyment, David Pogue’s music video about the iPhone, to the tune of the Sinatra classic “My Way”.
Sent to me — no kidding — by my boss. Awesome.

I’ll be honest, I have a hard time peeing at a urinal when there are lots of people around, so naturally I’m a bit leery about peeing into the mouth of a crocodile while the Virgin Mary looks on.
Oddly enough, this is how I always imagined a Go-Bots movie would look.

In case you didn’t already hear, Japanese competitive eating champion Kobayashi was out-eaten by some guy named Chestnut at this year’s Nathan’s Hot Dog contest.
Kobayashi ate 63 hot dogs, and Chestnut bested him by eating 66. Bernie, of AlienLovesPredator fame, does a nice job of putting this into perspective:
I mean, I eat a lot (a [...]
Paul Thurrott brings up the notion of an iPod-less iPhone.
Indeed, once you get rid of most of the storage space–I’m thinking 1 GB would do it for whatever random photos you might take–you can also dispense with a lot of the battery, since that’s pretty much only needed for media playback anyway. You could therefore [...]
Matt Cutts of Google posted a photo he took yesterday.
I think the picture is drop dead gorgeous. He recommends getting this $12 book to help improve your photography. I just bought a digital SLR, and don’t know shit about photography, so this is of personal interest to me.
So far the iPhone has been kicking ass and taking names. I’d write my initial impressions, but people like John Gruber and Jason Kottke have already done that. Instead, I want to bitch and moan.
My biggest gripe with the iPhone is that the dedicated YouTube software that comes with it doesn’t seem to have access [...]
It would seem that when you open up a new account with AT&T they go ahead and sign you up to receive spam marketing material via email, text message, your phone, and by paper mail.

Short review
This movie is freakin’ awesome!
Long review
Big props go to Bruce Willis for kicking ass and taking names, and especially to director Len Wiseman, the guy who’s married to smoking hot Kate Beckinsale (and who directed those Underworld movies), for creating a non-stop action movie that’s a thrill to watch. I literally kept blurting our [...]
Robert Scoble has a joygasm over the iPhone, but points out that the photo quality of the Nokia N95 is dramatically, and demonstrably, better than the quality of photos taken with the iPhone.
I have to admit that I’ve never had a camera phone before (yeah, I suck), but to me it looks like it’s not [...]
Paul Thurrott gives his thoughts on the iPhone.
It ends with:
Yes, the iPhone is the nicest looking and sleekest portable device I’ve ever used. But it’s not perfect. It’s not even close. And that’s not going to be good enough for a lot of smart phone users.
Because all the other smart phones out there are perfect? [...]
I got this because I deleted that stupid John Hodgman audiobook, “The Areas of my Expertise”, from my library and then resynced my iPhone. With an iPod, it would just remove the files from the iPod and not worry about it.
We all know over the air iTunes downloads are pending, but it seems even the [...]
