  • Powerpuff Girls Anime!?

    I’m still a bit speechless on this one. The images are kind of funky looking. I still can’t decide if this will be a good thing or a bad thing.

    Powerpuff Girls Anime Announced
    Plans for a Powerpuff Girls anime were announced at the Tokyo Animation Fair. A joint venture between Toei Animation, Aniplex, and Cartoon Network, the new project will be tentatively titled “Demashitaa! Powerpuff Girls Z.” Posters from the booth can be seen on AV Watch here and here. [via Anime News Network]

  • Gotta Find One of Those Caps

     Googlegulp Images Logo
    Google has announced their latest project: Google gulp! (with auto-drink(tm)).

    Think fruity. Think refreshing.
    Think a DNA scanner embedded in the lip of your bottle reading all 3 gigabytes of your base pair genetic data in a fraction of a second, fine-tuning your individual hormonal cocktail in real time using our patented Auto-Drinkâ„¢ technology, and slamming a truckload of electrolytic neurotransmitter smart-drug stimulants past the blood-brain barrier to achieve maximum optimization of your soon-to-be-grateful cerebral cortex. Plus, it’s low in carbs! And with flavors ranging from Beta Carroty to Glutamate Grape, you’ll never run out of ways to quench your thirst for knowledge.

    I’m still unsure about the bottles reporting information about me to Google, but the Sero-Tonic Water sounds tasty. They are also rolling this out slowly, as they did with Gmail. You can only get some if a friend of yours gives you a bottle cap for it. Hopefully I’m cool enough that I can get one.

  • I’m an Existential Hedonist

    Decided to take one of those silly quiz things:

    You scored as Existentialism. Your life is guided by the concept of Existentialism: You choose the meaning and purpose of your life.

    “Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.”

    “It is up to you to give [life] a meaning.”

    –Jean-Paul Sartre

    “It is man’s natural sickness to believe that he possesses the Truth.”

    –Blaise Pascal

  • Turtles on Parade



    Hosted on Flickr

    I decided that I’ll try and post a World of Warcraft screenshot every few days as I get ones I like. This one was found while wandering around deep inside one of the instances.

  • Amazing Snow Sculptures

    Someone online mentioned a site with shots of the International Snow Sculpture Championships. The winning one is stunning. I’d love to see shots of it in the process of being sculpted.

  • Would You Let Your Kid Go?

    From CNN.com:

    Jackson hosts 200 kids at Neverland party

    LOS OLIVOS, California (AP) — Christmas came early for some 200 children who got to play at Michael Jackson’s amusement park and meet Santa Claus.

    “I hope you have a wonderful day. Merry Christmas. I love you,” the pop singer called out to the children Friday from the driveway of his estate.

    Jackson, who faces trial next year on child molestation charges, appeared happy during the few minutes he spoke to the arriving throng.

    One of the youngsters shouted, “We love you.”

    “I love you more,” Jackson replied before putting an umbrella over his head and walking back toward his house. [cnn.com]

    If I was a parent I’m not sure I’d want my kids going anywhere near him.

  • A Gingerbread Day

    Today we’re making gingerbread houses. It’s a tradition that my mom has some friends over and they make them every year. I’m most likely going to be working on one, but for the moment have been busy taking pictures of the houses as they are constructed and decorated. I’ll be posting to Flickr once they are done.

  • Oh. My. God.

    Okay, someone needs to stop coming up with ideas for reality shows. This is getting ridiculous.

    New Fox Show: Adoptee IDs dad for $100K

    NEW YORK (AP) — The Fox network said Tuesday it will air a special next month, “Who’s Your Daddy?”, where a daughter given up for adoption as an infant attempts to guess the identity of her birth father for a $100,000 prize.

    Activists in the adoption community immediately attacked the special, which will air for 90 minutes on January 3.[cnn.com]

    I don’t even want to think about what will be next.

  • Eye-Yo-Yo-Scream

    Seen over on Gizmodo. A yo-yo ice cream maker.

    Ice Cream Yoyo

    I personally think that after 10 minutes of using that to mix your ice cream your arm would be pretty tired. I guess it might be good to keep kids busy for a bit.
