Instead of sending random links to my friends through out the week as I come across them, I've decided to post my 'best of' for the week. I'll try doing this for a while and see how it goes. Some of these may be things I've seen a long time ago but have been reprised during the week.

Bad Apple:

30 Captchas: http://www.bannedinhollywood.com/30-crazy-captchas/

Konami Code: Maybe NSFW. And for the guys checkin' it out, mental high five.

Ack-Attack: I've been reading these Lost reviews for a couple years now. And with the premiere of the final season I thought I'd share this. http://www.theackattack.net/?tag=lost-recap, and my favorite one cuz of Sayid's Macguyver moment http://www.theackattack.net/?p=44.

Canada Milk Bags: .. it's not what you think. .. if you're thinking boo-bees.

Ok, so a couple weeks back I saw a post with this project on it. I'm not really a cross-stitch person, but this was too cool to pass up. I ended making it at about half scale since I couldn't find the right gauge fabric, I made a few other changes as well. Here it is all finished, now I just have to figure out how to frame it.

And if any of you feel inspired, here's a link where you can find the plans to make your own.

Updated Feb. 02: I forgot to post the completed project so here it is. I ended up buying a handheld matte cutter and mounted this along with another piece I had (non-cross stitch).

So I finally got around to seeing Avatar. I was waiting for the crowds to die down a bit, but surprisingly, even on a Wednesday evening the theater was packed. At least the top half anyway, who really sits in the bottom rows unless they really have to right?

This was my first time watching a movie in 3-D, and I'm glad I waited until this movie to do so. It took a little while for my brain to adjust to the fact that when I looked at something in the foreground that no matter how hard my eyes tried they weren't going to focus. I'm glad that it wasn't filled with gimmicky effects either. You know, blatantly throwing things out towards the audience. There was none of that "it's in 3-D, so we'd better be using it constantly". Everything was fairly passive so as to let the audience really sink into this beautiful environment.

I remember there were a few instances where I was like "whoah, ha, [...Read More]

I've always loved pizza, who doesn't really? You got bread, sauce, cheese, and meat. It's basically a sandwich in triangular form. Sadly though, my diet has fallen under the 'open up the box, and throw it in the oven' routine. Hey, tis the way of the bachelor. But after visiting my mom over the holidays and eating a weeksworth of mostly homemade foods my body & mind were like "shit dude, this stuff's pretty good", and subsequently "shit dude, we could do this.. erm, me thinks so".

Pizza wasn't one of the things me mum cooked up, but I'm not gonna be cooking a turkey dinner with all the fixen's anytime soon. So I decided to go with something simple (at least I thought it would be when I started).

I wanted to do the whole thing from scratch, dough and all. The first recipe I tried was one that my mom used to make when I was a kid. It turned out like under-cooked crap (thanks to the dough [...Read More]
