...Bat-Man! Why this concept car from Toyota comes in any color other than black escapes me.
Dave Blood, the bassist for The Dead Milkmen, has committed suicide. I loved that band back in the day, and haven't listened to them in far too long.
I don't like to go anywhere without both my Swiss army knife and my USB flash drive. Now Victorinox is about to put both into one package. I admit I'm a little disappointed wqith the tool selection (what, no screwdriver?), but maybe they'll add the USB drive to their CyberTool line in time. I'd love to have the tools to work inside a PC and the diagnostic software to check it out in one device.
Is it just me, or was there an Alias episode during tonight's Ford commercial?
I actually left my apartment last night and when down to The Pageant to see a Henry Rollins do a spoken word show. Rollins is a great storyteller, and I think my favorite part of last night's show was when he talked about his recording session with
William Shatner and Andrian Belew. Frickin' hilarious, and I may have to buy The Shat's album just to hear how it came out.
The coast of Norway is being invaded by crabs. Giant crabs. Giant Stalinist crabs. Ph34r! If the Command & Conquer guys do another Red Alert sequel without a Soviet Giant Crab unit, they are missing an incredible opportunity. [via Neil Gaiman]
Serenity has been cleared for launch. The big-screen sequel to Joss Whedon's unjustly-cancelled series Firefly has been given a green light by Universal Pictures. Hot damn. [via Xkot]
I was more than half convinced that Peter Jackson was going to get boned at the Oscars this year, on the principle that the Academy was not yet ready to reward a film from the "genre ghetto". Glad to see just how wrong I was.
