Might as just sell me a brick with a calculator attached to it with a rubber band…

aki hoshino’s all the buzz
Back to Japanese girls… Bee movie has just released in Japan, and to kick off the marketing they have brought in the lovely Aki Hoshino. Could you believe this gorgeous girl is actually 30 years old? It’s hard to believe. Aparently she is one of the oldest ‘pop-idols’ in Japan.
When she is not buzzing around, she looks something like this… mmmmm…
I wasn’t intending to rush out and see the movie, but purely based on this marketing event I think I might have to change my mind.
big blue bear
Could you imagine looking out of your office window and seeing a big blue bear? The people at Denver Colorado Convention Center can. This 12 metre bear, made of composite materials made with a coating of polymer and concrete, stands against their glass building. It took five trucks to bring the bear to the location, so I am assuming that it’s not going anywhere soon.

net disaster
Some websites are just plain annoying. Rather than venting your frustration through sending hostile emails to the developers, why not smash the website up with this cute little website… It’s a complete waste of time but a bit of fun.
interesting lighting for a room
I stumbled on this very interesting light picture. Would be execllent in the lounge room of my house, if it fit.

the protector from the magpies
Charlie had her first day out in a park yesterday with some friends. Being off the leash for almost eight hours wore her out considerably. There were many dogs being walked that she made friends with or chased around (now I realise how much easier it is to pick up girls when walking a dog), and even more magpies and other birds to try to catch.
As a laugh, a blue tounge lizard tried to give Claire a kiss, but she freaked out and ran away. I don’t think that the blue tounge was impressed.
Considering Charlie has slept for the last twenty hours, I would say that the day toook it out of her quite a lot. However if she could talk, I think she would say it was the ”bestest dayz evr!” (yeah, she is a LOLdog).
defender video game advertising
Just found this fantastic advertisement for the Defender arcade game. How sexy is it?
Like many of the classic games of the time, Defender had multiple flyers created for it and the ones done for other countries varied in style… The best of all though is the one pictured above with the sultry space babe. You can tell she is a space babe because of her white wrap-around dress, accompanying silver quilted collar and belt. Also note the absence of foot wear. Because in space, no one wears shoes.
These exceptional pieces of underwear were found recently on the GameGirl website. They are bound to get any real 80’s nerd excited. And while not much good came from the 80’s, we must all be able to admit that delving into our retro past and emblazing a pair of cute underwear with Space Invaders logos is the most awesome thing to do in the world.
So forget about your Playstations, Wiis and XBox 360s. Its time to get nerdy, get retro and get naked!
presidential milkshakes
With the US Presidential Elections not far away, I figure anyone interested in the upcoming political candidates will get a kick out of this…
Update: Fred Thompson is now not in the race, so you can ignore his entry… (He can go on the “milkshakes for washed up actors” list).

game publishers are evil
That’s right. They are evil. No scrap that… They are retarded. Think frontal labotomy territory. To become a game publisher you have to take your enthusiasm for destroying talent and creativity and put it to work as often as possible. Steal ideas, force innovative designs to be canned and ensure that every product that fills the shelves is a clone of the first computer game ever written. If you come from the music publishing, then you’ll fit right in.
When a game developer comes to you with something inspiring, knock them back and stamp on their idea. If it finally takes off, make sure you have a team of mistreated developers to rip off the idea and make a sub par variant of it. Once you are done, throw your millions of dollars at marketing it with advertising that makes it look so much better than it really is… I’m sure you’ll sell millions of copies to the people reading the honest reviews in game magazines that you paid for too.
Yes, you are the evil that the world talks about.
Ok, I’m ranting. But I just saw this advert for EA’s Battlefield Heros. When I saw the graphics in the advertisement and on several blogs small chunks of vomit filled my mouth. If you haven’t noticed EA has tried to ripoff Team Fortress 2; a visual exploration that showed not all FPS games had to look the same. So much so, I actually confused the two at first. TF2 launched to much acclaim for being different, and so it must have been obvious. Clone the game! Clone the game! Now we left with something akin to a Britney Spears breakdown.
This game might be good, it has so much going for it. It’s free, supported by Adverts and MicroTransactions (although not available for anyone outside the USA), and it has a great looking renderer. However its just a lie, and they should be shameful. Ironically, its from the people who’s CEO complained that there was no innovation in computer games.
pac man birthday cake
If anyone was thinking of buying me a birthday cake, say for my 30th birthday or something like that… need I say more? Hint hint. 
a life in pictures
I stumbled upon an interesting blog entry about a photographer who took black and white photos of his daughter in pivotal points of her life. After looking at the photos I began to admire the thought process. It’s interesting to see people grow up, and I can only hope that I remember to do this sort of thing often with the people I care about the most.
Check out the beautiful photos at this link:

conversations about sex
An actual conversation between a 6-year old boy and his friend
Zach: “Yeah! And I got this journal for Christmas! You can write in it, and then you can lock it up!”
Ethan: “I have one of those too. I wrote about my girlfriend in it.”
Zach: “You have a girlfriend?”
Ethan: “Yeah, her name is Tara. She’s in my kindergarten class.”
Zach (unassumingly): “Have you had sex with her?”
Ethan: “What?”
Zach: “Have you had sex with her?”
Ethan: “What is sex?”
Zach: “It’s when two people get naked, and they roll around on top of each other.”
Ethan (in deep thought): “Oh yeah?”
Zach: “Yeah. So… did you?”
Ethan (in a very frank yet lighthearted manner): “No. We never even wrestled yet.”
Zach: “Oh.”

torrent aggregator
I pull a lot of torrents from the web, especially during Oscar time. I recently found a new torrent aggregator that works pretty well. Hopefully it will stay around for a couple of weeks . Although I’m sure the MPAA will make short work of it.
