charlie and his adventures

April 17, 2008

A long time ago i was totally mesmerized by Charlie the kinda angry unicorn and his magical journey. Today I am happy to notice that he’s back with a new banana filled adventure. If i’m not mistaken, that’s a singing santa-hatted banana slug. You heard me… santa-hatted banana slug.
It’s stupid, and funny, and […]

philosphical about cute penguins

April 4, 2008

I’ve been listening to a new Pandora station that I’ve titled “Can you Feel It (Shame).”  The songs that input the station are all based on funky disco stuff that generally makes me happy and productive, and while i sit at my desk i get to bop back and forth while doing work.
Occasionally the tune […]

can YOU feel it?

April 3, 2008

Nothing says amazing like a groovy song that creates the world. What’s awesome about the full theatrical music video of The Jackson’s Can You Feel It is that there are numerous sci-fi movie sounds, including some from Star Wars. Serious. Michael Jackson shoots stars out of his head into the sky.
The video is […]

immigrant worker sci-fi

January 18, 2008

Sleep Dealer is going to be an interesting flick which i heard about thanks to the folks over at io9.  The plot synopsis sounds awesome, in my estimation.  Helps that the director is a Hampshire alum.

Chinese condom ad

January 15, 2007

This kinda cracks me up… just a little background… you can guess what the ad is going to be about ahead of time because the term for condom in polite company is “small umbrella.”
Really, you want to see a Chinese condom ad.

the red china threat

January 15, 2007

Youtube has a 1960s film on the red China threat.  I find the characterizations used so interesting because while some of the history facts are true, the way it’s put together is so sinister.

This video is pretty darned amazing and makes me think that hula hoops need to be part of a workout plan.

unleashed

July 16, 2006

I rented Unleashed, and managed to set aside some time to watch it this week. Someone recommended it to me a year ago, and I’ve been a little slow on the uptake in terms of watching.
The movie related to a lot of things I’ve been thinking about in terms of being smart and sensitive, […]

free food

July 6, 2006

any graduate student learns the skills of finding free food.  Heck, this is a skill most undergrads also manage to hone.
Of course, this is a skill we don’t think of much outside of the poor student sector, but one worth considering, because an awful lot of perfectly good food gets thrown away, either from fast […]

al gore, climate change, and recycling urban so-called waste

June 30, 2006

Two items today struck me as particularly noteworthy.  First off, treehugger has a great post on a couple of Al Gore videos, talking about making An Inconvenient Truth, and how to effectively get a message on climate change out and about in the public’s eye.
Oh, I hear Leonardo DiCaprio was on Oprah this week, and […]
