So Very Well Done

Star Wars as a silent movie.

What Would Largo Do?

Aside from be awesome that is. Apparently a heck of a lot. Including building a java fueled car. For those of you who are not webcomic addicts: *Mega Tokyo.

*Archive binge warning.

Wonderful!

L.A.B.W. has trailer goodness.

The End Of History, Indeed

The folks at Brew Dog are apparently to be watched out for. Plus? It's in a stoat.

Hot girl fights Germans, dragons, and samurai. I give you Sucker Punch. You watch trailer now!

Great News Everyone!

The U.S. Copyright Office has decided that it's no longer illegal for you to use your property like it's, you know, your property. I'm snarky, but only because it was fucking stupid in the first place.

If we were talking about an individual it'd be like "Well golly, is there something else you shouldn't be doing in the first fucking place that we can give you a medal for? Like not like not assaulting little old women?". But it's the government so we'd damn well better pat its idiot delinquent fucking head and give it a cookie so that it doesn't follow it up with taking a crap on the couch when company is over.

I've Got 4 Words For You

"Hello Kitty assault rifle". That is all.

Awesome And Cute

Falcon 9 Is Go!

At 2:45pm EST SpaceX's Falcon 9 successfully made its first launch. This came after several delays (weak signal from the Failure Termination System, a sailboat in the red zone, and an abort due to the rocket entering safe mode). A heartfelt congratulations to the folks over at SpaceX. We were pulling for you.



Oh, and for anyone who's never done a live feed for a launch? Highly recommended.

SpaceFlightNow and SpaceVidCast are streaming the post show press show.

Injury Update...And Other Update Type Things

Went back to work April 22nd- which, it was nice to get out of my apartment and have things to actually do. Discovery: I don't write well when half of my body is out of commission and in varying degrees of pain. (Though maybe given enough time I could acclimate and become an even better writer? No. Don't want to test that.)

Cast came off of the wrist today. Now I have one of those Velcro splint things. It's funny (and a little weird) seeing how much my arm has atrophied over the past few weeks.

So sure, my injuries have something to do with my being away, but honestly I just didn't know what to say.

I found a new webcomic.

I also recommend checking out Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei. It begins with out titular character trying to hang himself make himself taller. Beautifully animated to boot.

Kant Through Comics

Via Io9. Well, go and watch the video.

Living Down And Out In The Magic Kingdom, Bitches!

Well... sort of. Anyway, I just opened a Whuffie account.

And for those that don't know.

On Charities

Let's start with some local flavor:

This weekend (12/05/09) Midtown Yacht Club will be celebrating the repeal of Prohibition with a Toys for Tots toy collection/fundraiser. Period dress is encouraged. As an added bonus it will be held in the area (formerly?) known as the Spy Bar. Party starts at 9.

Also some idealistic young locals are trying to open a free "store". Good luck to them on that. (Their web site is having some issues at the moment so here's an alternate link.)

Now onto the international scene:

My new favorite charity ever? A Chilean prostitute is auctioning off 27 hours of adult fun times to help out her country's disabled children.

The Tranciest Thing Ever.

This guy has a lot of really neat stuff out.

Comic Adaptations I'd Love To See....

Jeffrey Thomas has some pretty awesome dark versions of classic Disney dames. My favorite is Cinderella.

Hat tip, Chris.

Furry Animal Inferno

Io9 has a gallery of Luke Chueh's latest work- Dante's Inferno depicted with teddy bears and the like. It is kind of awesome.

Teapot Blowing

It's twice as fun and half as dirty as you think.

Billions

Information is Beautiful has a neat visual to put some things into perspective.

In Case You're A Closet Steam Punker

Glasses with adjustable focal lengths (that don't look like driving goggles) are finally here. Personally, I think you should be out and proud with your dorkdome.

The Next Film On My List

I give you Vampire Girl VS Frankenstein Girl. (Campy gore warning.)
