Machinegirl posted it first, then while I was typing this up I noticed /usr/bin/girl did also. This is the ultimate in fridge technology. I want one. But I don’t think it would fit in the space I have.

Updated: Here’s an article from techtv on it.

I’ve added a new site into my blogrolling list. There’s now a link to the den of otakudom. It was one of those places I found while following from link to link on people’s site. And then I recognized the name as being someone who posts on the Anime on Dvd forums a lot.

My friend over at sometimesblue.net has done a site redesign and converted over to MovableType. I really like the look of it currently. The other added bonus is that she now has an RSS feed that I can subscribe to.

Here’s two fun links from her site:

• In Passing… – This is is “a collection of the random things I see and overhear on a daily basis.”
• http://www.wemadeoutinatreeandthisoldguysatandwatchedus.com/ – A site with one of the best domain names ever. From the site: “The site dedicated to odd quotes, strange statements, bad writing and other oddities of the English language.”

Let’s hope she keeps posting regularly.

Looks like Adam is going to be on TV again:

The past couple of weeks have been really tough for me blogging-wise. Ever since the Osbournes’ mega-success in the states (now world-wide) we’d been receiving offers to do a similar show in Europe. After the family (Patricia, Christina and I) agreed we would entertain the thought seriously, we started looking at the offers. Friday evening it boiled down to a green light on the deal. Starting this Christmas, RTL4 will broadcast ‘Adam’s Family’ every week. [Adam Curry: Adam Curry’s Weblog]

So now one of the questions is, who’s gonna encode it, subtitle it, and put it online? If the folks doing anime subtitles can get a show online in four to five days someone should be able to do this pretty quickly. Or maybe Adam will dub a version of it for us. ^_^

I seem to remember reading about this in someone’s blog a while back and wanting to post about it. Toasty Bear Products are:

Adorable cuddly plush animals filled with buckwheat or flax seed and our soothing blend of 9 herbs so they will heat in your microwave and bring you years of huggable pleasure.

I think this is supposed to be like the aromatherpy beanbag thing I have. You put it in the microwave to heat it, it gets all nice and warmm and is good for muscle aches or stress. I should actually use mine more often. But the idea of a stuffed animal as one sounds cool. Plus I kind of love the idea of shoving a stuffed animal into the microwave.

A friend of mine just now told me the bears are great. But that whenever they warm one up the cats all want to just sit on it.

Also available is the Toasty Manatee (just what I’ve always wanted).

Once again proving that I should just make a link to this site in blogrolling, Boing Boing has one off the more interesting links today:

Fetish map. Check out this amazing map of fetishes, which attempts to relate all fetishes to one another. Link

I feel so enlightened. Though there’s lots of things in the map to just make me go ‘Um. Ew.’. This seems like something that would show up on Graham Norton.

Unknown. “Transported to a surreal landscape, a young girl kills the first woman she meets and then teams up with three complete strangers to kill again.” [Quotes of the Day]

This sounds a lot like the movie descriptions in the print version of TV Guide. I used to love going through and seeing how they described some movies. Godzilla was something like ‘Ornery Lizard stomps arond town’ or something similarly strange.

I’m almost done with the first season of Galaxy Angel. What a wacky show. It’s another one of those shows in the 15 minute format. This one is about a group of women/girls who are looking for lost technology. But it rarely seems to focus on that. It’s much more cartoonish then a lot of things I’ve watched. And I think for the most part it works, though there are some episodes that I definitely didn’t quite get the joke. The best episode is one that has to do with them helping out a pizza delivery service (Mint Rules!).

I think I heard that this show was picked up on DVD over here. While I find it funny, I continually get the feeling that there are a lot of jokes that I might get more if I were from Japan. It’s always interesting seeing how they translate things like that. Anyways, I give the series a thumbs up overall and it’s placed on my ‘pick up on DVD if/when it’s released over here’ list.

I just watched the first episode of Joss Whedon’s latest show, Firefly. I thought it was okay, but nothing to really write home about. I’ll probably keep TiVoing it for the moment. I think they need to work on pacing a little bit, but that may have been because it was the first episode.
