Okay, just one more quiz

Okay, one more quiz for the day and I’ll stop. But I liked that I was Very Silly.

Very Silly

Arbitrary Silly Coordinates: (105,5)

Now, score each answer as follows:

A) 256 points

B) Ï€ points

C) -(i²) points

Multiply the score of each answer by the square root of its ordinal number.

Now, take all the answers whose ordinal number is even but not evenly divisible by three and add them together to get an X-axis value. Take all the answers whose ordinal number is evenly divisible by three but not by two and add them together to yield a Y-axis value. For all other answers, discard the results; they were red-herrings.

Finally, print the above chart out on a piece of paper. Using the X- and Y-axis values you computed earlier, find the corresponding location on the chart and mark it. Then throw it away and try not to think about it. You’ll be glad you did.

Good. Bad. I’m the one with the gun.

Because I was psyched to get this result:

Gimme some sugar baby.

Lala Rules

After listening to TWiT the other day I felt compelled to check out Tiki Bar TV, Forbidden cocktails in a swank pad. I can’t decide if it is genius or incredibly stupid, but I do know I can’t stop watching it. You should definitely give the Tiki Bar a visit.

Bouncy Bouncy, Part Deux

A few months ago I posted about Sony filming a commercial where they released 10,000 super-balls on a hill in San Francisco. Well it turns out it was actually 250,000 superballs, and they’ve posted the commercial online. Pretty cool looking.

Turner Classic Movies and Miyazaki

ICv2 has posted information about a marathon of Miyazaki films on TCM in January 2006.

ICv2 has learned that in January 2006, Turner Classic Movies, a prominent cable and satellite network, will run nine animated features by the great Japanese anime director Hayao Miyazaki. Miyazaki’s movies have received scant exposure on American TV so the showings on Turner Classic Movies should expose a wide audience to these masterworks.

A complete list of the films (and airdates) will be released next week, but ICv2 has learned that TCM will show such Miyazaki-directed classics as: Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, My Neighbor Totoro, Nausicaa: Valley of the Wind, Castle in the Sky, and Porco Rosso, as well as Whisper of the Heart, which was directed by Yoshifumi Kondou, though Miyazaki wrote the screenplay, drew the storyboards and produced the film. [ICv2]

I’m pretty psyched. I’ve wanted to see Whisper of the Heart for a while. I’m also hoping for Kiki’s and The Castle of Cagliostro.

Parents and Videogames

I always enjoy Halley’s blog and today she posts about parents and video games.

I rarely find parents who take THE TIME TO SIT DOWN AND PLAY the games with their kids. That’s what I’ve been doing for three years now. I stink at playing, but I know about a lot of games. Parents who don’t play think Tetris, Splinter Cell, Jak and Daxter and Halo are the same — and they are not.

…

As I mentioned below, even if you are a parent who has ZERO interest in actually playing videogames, please read the book “Everything Bad is Good For You” by Steven Johnson, to get a perspective on what a complex, artistic, challenging, educational excursion our kids are taking when they play. [Halley’s Comment]

My sister is one of those parents who has no interest in video games. She watches the ratings of the games, but really has no idea about the content most of the time. To me it seems like issue of paying attention to what your child watches on TV. Just because a show isn’t violent or whatever doesn’t mean that you would want your child watching it.

Then again, I don’t have a kid so I may not be qualified to say much about this. I do know that as a kid I would have loved it if my parents were more interested in the games I liked and wanted to play.
