'Gooby' gets made, hell frozen

Tue, 19 May 2009 14:00:37 -0400

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 synopsis.

“Gooby fulfills Willy’s wish by bringing Willy and his dad (David James Elliott, “JAG”) together in a heart-warming and exciting climax.”

I wish there were more I could add to that, but, I’m spent. This trailer speaks for itself.

The case of the racist Nikon camera..

Sat, 16 May 2009 14:29:44 -0400

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 pictures of my family, it kept asking “Did someone
blink?” even though our eyes were always open.

Sheesh! RACIST! :P

Wow. You would think this would become a problem over in Japan, you know.. cause they probably take a BILLION photos a day. That’s a lot of blinking. ~~This might explain the driving thing.~~

PARENT FAIL.

Transcription:

Note: Just to let you know it is not that we don’t believe in ~~[scribble~~] in things like that it is just misleading when you speak about it being billions of year old. when we all know that the world is only about 6000 years old. So why would I pay so that you can misslead [sic] my children. your world is just a (revowing?), our’s [sic] has a start and an end. God created the world. He created animals and man ~~[scribble~~] all in the same week. It was also Adam who named all the animals, they will do the essay Rock and minerals, but it might not be 5 pages long, and not about billions of years ago it’ll be according to the Bible.

Nightline goes behind Netflix.

Thu, 02 Apr 2009 17:04:36 -0400

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 doesn’t allow embeds. :(

'Stunt Copter' drops onto iPhone

Sun, 29 Mar 2009 13:54:00 -0400

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?! One of my biggest time wasters [iTunes Link] in grade school, StuntCopter has come to the iPhone/iPod touch. The developers have even used the original artwork from the original game, seeing as it is in the public domain now. You also can’t argue with 99 cents. Here’s hoping that we get some Vette! up in here sooner or later.
