Here's to a better 2011!




Well, better starting from when the hangover clears.




Cheers!

Scary Toy Story

Saw this ad the day after I bought a new vacuum cleaner. Makes me feel like kind of a hero now. Well, if I had toys that is.

Excellente?

Excellencico is a company looking for a logo design, so they've decided to have a competition inviting people to submit their ideas. Here are some of the "best" entries so far.


Blatant copyright violations? Check.

Obligatory penis-shaped logo? Check.

Poop-shaped logo? Check.

Bad-taste logo? Check.

Ominous logo? Check.

Nazi logo? Check.

And my personal favourite - the Excellent! trifecta.

That'll teach them to reach out to the interwebs. Go check out the other entries and maybe even take part yourself! Hurry, deadline is December 8th!

"If you wish to know what a man is, place him in authority." - Yugoslav proverb.

Dinosaurs

I want to talk about dinosaurs for a bit today.

No, not them.

More specifically, I want to talk about how paleontologists' have been busy crapping on everything we've ever known about our lizard friends.

Could he be any less of a doctor?

First they tell us the Brontosaurus never existed.

A figment of your imagination.

Fred was devastated when told.

Then they told us the Velociraptor had feathers.

http://scienceblogs.com/notrocketscience/2009/09/evidence_that_velociraptor_had_feathers.php

Bad-ass.

Pimp in a fur coat?

Now they're saying the Tyrannosaurus Rex, or as I like to call it, the T-Rex, may also have been a feathered beast.

This guy.

This freakin' guy!

Seriously? Feathers?! Good grief.

But I'll be okay just as long as no one messes with the Dinobots.





I'm looking at you, Michael Bay. You smug bastard.

Here Fishy, Fishy, Fishy

Here's a video I made of a hobby of mine - keeping bonsai koi fish. It's something that might be of special interest to all those who live in apartments or condominiums, where space is at a premium.



*UPDATE*

Here's Part 2 of the video, this one explaining the basic filtration system set-up.

Sublime ad that basically sums up Bollywood.

World Series Champions 2010! It's a damn sight better than when they blew it in 2002.

















I'm pretty sure it's all thanks to this guy.

Love & Marriage - Part One

This is Part One in a never-ending series of random observations (mostly by other people) on life, love and the pursuit of happiness.

I pretty much only have one thing to say on the subject - as adults, the sooner we all agree that living in terms of pure black or white is impossible, the better off we'll all be.

Real life. Deal with it.

"Break-ups: The Series" Vimeo Submission "Best Original Series" from Ted Tremper on Vimeo.

You gotta love Paul & Cecily.


Anyway, I always like to end things with a song (seeing as in my mind I live in a musical), so here's Ol' Blue Eyes with a tune.





**NOTE - Never take advice from a guy that's been married four times.

Can You Hear Me Now?

Bizarre behind-the-scenes footage of Charlie Chaplin's The Circus circa 1928, in which a woman is seen apparently talking on a cell-phone. Theories abound as to what she is actually doing, and some are speculating that she may be a time-traveller. Which begs the question, if she is, how exactly is she getting a signal for her phone? My theory is that there are two time-travellers, and that they're communicating via walkie-talkies. Check it out.

Man's Best Friend

A gut-wrentching film about a man and his dog. Winner of the 2010 Vimeo Awards and infinitely better than the steaming pile of mango-filled dog-crap that was the movie Marley & Me.

Last Minutes with ODEN from phos pictures on Vimeo.
