'Gooby' gets made, hell frozen
So I was crusing the Apple Quicktime Trailers site like I’ve done for the past 10 years or so and I stumble upon the trailer for ‘Gooby’. Go ahead, watch it, I’ll wait right here.
Seriously, wtf? I’ve always thought about writing a movie about Teddy Ruxpin on crack, but, dagnabbit, someone already beat me to it. Let me impart on you this little gem from the...

The case of the racist Nikon camera..
So it seems like even though Nikon is an asian company, they quite haven’t nailed down the subtleties of their homeland’s eye patterns with the face recognition that is part of their newer point and shoot digital cameras.
We got our Mom a new Nikon S630 digital camera for Mother’s Day and I was playing with it during the Angels game we were at on Sunday. As I was taking...

Nightline goes behind Netflix.
ABC Nightline went behind the scenes of a California Netflix distribution center.
Wow, I’ve seen videos of people stuffing and unstuffing envelopes and it amazes me every time.
My favorite part of the video is where Netflix inventor and CEO Reed Hastings talks about the first days of Netflix where they were buying all their DVDs from Best Buy! [Click here for link to video]. ABC news...

'Stunt Copter' drops onto iPhone
INT. MIDDLE SCHOOL COMPUTER LAB -
A young boy in shark costume sits at a Mac Classic computer counting down the minutes till lunch time.
We see a close-up of the monitor, a stick figure dangles from an outline of a helicopter, we hear the click of a mouse. The stick figure falls safely onto a hay pile down below. We see this process repeat several times.
Ahh, can I get a hells yeah?!...

Wow, this site is great. I’ve always been a bit perplexed by food “expiration dates” on packages and wasn’t sure how useful they really were to the end consumer. Turns out they are really most useful to the retailers. I also had one of my most pressing questions answered.

U.S. bill seeks to rescue faltering newspapers

“Cardin’s Newspaper Revitalization Act would allow newspapers to operate as nonprofits for educational purposes under the U.S. tax code, giving them a similar status to public broadcasting companies.
Cardin’s office said his bill was aimed at preserving local and community newspapers, not conglomerates which may also...

The folks over at Icons of Fright have a really nice comparison of the subtitles from the Theatrical release and the Region 1 DVD release of the critically acclaimed ‘Let the Right One In’.
“The subtitles had been drastically changed since the last time I saw it, and dare I say… had been completely dumbed down? Sure, the basic gist of what the characters were saying was...

Ocala Magazine busted for plagiarism
Tsk Tsk Tsk, Ocala Magazine of Ocala, FL, I guess I’ve lost complete faith in any sort of glossy publication.
“For the past four years, the editor of an award-winning local lifestyle magazine has been allegedly committing what some ethicists are calling “black and white” plagiarism.
