Free Hugs - A love story

Made in Sydney!! Go Aussies!!!

Harry Potter gets cooler... I hope

So far the only Harry Potter film I've liked was the 4th one. Hated the first two (passionately), the 3rd was pretty good, the 4th fucking rocked, the 5th was cool but very sloppy and now we have the 6th coming out. Here's the teaser. Looking good so far. Fingers Crossed.

US Voting Truth... Simpson Style

Don't ask me how I got my hands on a clip from this years upcoming Simpsons Treehouse of Horrors but rest assured, that young insider I bribed will be remembered dearly.

Anyway, check out what happens when Homer tries to vote for Obama in the upcoming US election. It could be more true than I care to speculate.



The special will air on November 2.

Invasion of the Cute Bubbly Aliens

Olivier Bucheron (aka Zamak)'s 3D creations are goddam awesome! Check out the rest of his collection at his site. But if you don't speak French you can see it all here too.

Weta Rayguns

We all know Weta (the FX house in Wellington New Zealand who created the Lord of the Rings and King Kong) fucking rock!! Well it seems that between projects they make themselves busy creating awesome limited edition goodies such as these steampunk ray guns made specifically for the mantles of lucky rich bastards everywhere. Check out the full collection at their website.

Glowy the Glowball Glowbeast

Recently the Nobel Prize committee awarded the Nobel in chemistry to a group of US and Japanese researchers who successfully gave cats, rats and monkeys the same glow genes found in certain jelly fish. The thinking behind it is that these scientists tag the genes of specific diseases with the glowy gene, attatch it to the DNA of certain animals and breed a new batch. The ones born with a healthy glow have successfully been born into the doom of the chosen disease. The purpose being that it makes it a lot simpler to see if they have cured the disease when the buggers stop glowing. Simple.

Now if only they can inject my eye juices with the glow goo so I can have a set of wicked cartoon night eyes. Though it may be hard to sleep after. Hmmm.

Bad-Ass Smart Cars

As I mentioned in the last post; I love driving, BUT SmartCars freak me out. What the hell are you gonna do with a car you can barely fit a briefcase into? GET A FUCKING MOTORCYCLE YUPPY!

It seems I'm not alone in this. Some as-yet unknown Photoshop whizz has envisioned the Smart Cars of the future. Now THESE I would drive!!

Carcade

I love video games and I love driving. Now finally someone has come up with a way to combine these two loves into 1 uber-loveable creation called the carcade. A small camera mounted on a window analyzes the environment and creates a real-time video game where the passing surroundings become obstacles to an amazingly futuristic looking space fighter. My only concern is that the long drive through the Canadian prairies or the Australian outback could be a tad simple without any obstacles in their painfully flat landscapes. Oh well.
