It's Facebook IPO Day - I won't be buying
Oh sure, I'm willing to make this bet. I think the "Pro" people are a bit too confident on the price and success. Maybe there might be some short term money to be made. I just don't think about buying it, yet, as a longer term investment, and as I'm ...
Rocka 4.0 - Most Popular Robot Ever
My boys lately have been seriously fighting about the Rocka 4.0 Hero Factory. My oldest (5) who originally got it will basically carry it around the house with him, and keep it at his side as he plays with other Hero Factories. It's a pretty cool one, he's got a ...
2012 Annual Solar Eclipse This Sunday
This Sunday, those in a fairly convenient part of the western US get the treat of a fairly rare annual solar eclipse. The eclipse will begin over the Pacific Ocean (so often these things are over water... It reminds me how we should call our planet "ocean" rather than "earth" (I ...
Lost in Space
Um. Ok what can we tease out of this. Was looking at Google Trends (which shows the trends of people doing searches...I find it interesting to find out what's going on with the world, almost more than a news site. It shows the big things people are searching on organically) ...
First Online Clip of Prometheus
Looks great, though I have to admit this clip seems edited. They get through that atmosphere awfully fast. I'm wondering if it's edited down to shorten the landing sequence for this clip or something. I dunno. They're in space, then they're down. Boom. Just feels edited, or is it me? Not ...
Fantastic Avengers Trailer Mashup
Check it out. This is a fantastic mashup of the audio from the new Avengers movie trailer, but using footage from the old Marvel Superheroes cartoons from the 60's! He allows the only cheat is Nick Fury from the 90's Iron Man cartoon, but otherwise it's all from the old Marvel ...
Why I Won't Encourage My Children To Play Contact Sports
The news today that Junior Seau killed himself has rocked his fans. He was a really great football player. But some are taking it as an opportunity to talk about the overall damage that football does to people. Now, there isn't any evidence this was the case with Junior Seau. ...
Avengers Membership Roster Infographic
So I had fun with my previous Marvel Comics Infographic, so I decided to do a new one. This time a London Underground Map inspired infographic showing official Avengers membership over the years, for the silver and bronze ages. Avengers issues 1 through 256 (nice round binary number). I show the ...
Kate Upton Censored From Youtube!?!
No this is not just an excuse to post a raunchy video. It's just kind of ridiculous. So Kate Upton had a video pulled from YouTube. Well SHE didn't, it was someone else, but she was in the video, wearing a swimsuit, and doing an example of a dance. Is it ...
Cinco de Mayo is coming Up!
My wife is running in the Pittsburgh Marathon the day after, so unfortunately I doubt I can talk her into a last minute party, particularly with her parents in town. Plus we're not mexican at all, but is that ever really an excuse not to eat good food, or drink ...
