Where Anti-Social Meets Comfort – the Body-Laptop Interface
May 16th
Do you have trouble concentrating while using your computer? Fell as though your just haven’t accomplished as much since leaving the womb? Do you just hate people and thrive on the new wave of anti-social behavior associated with technology? Or maybe you just hate sunlight? Well whatever your reason we now have the solution! New from Stern lab, the Body-Laptop Interface!
I thought at first someone had some issues removing their sweater…but no there is even a pattern on the website!
More photos are available on my favorite photo sharing site, flickr.
The pattern to make your own can be found here.
The number you need to have a friend dial after wearing this for more than 15 minutes is 911.
Creativity can be so humorous sometimes. I wonder if one of these could block the voices I hear in my head…hmm.
Greatest Article Title Ever
May 14th
I’m pretty sure that the water I was drinking came out my nose when I heard the tile of this article (sorry for the grotesque mental image)… Anyway, I also told my wife about it, and I am certain my marriage was in jeopardy for a moment, until she read the article.
“Great tits cope well with warming”… Now before you get all excited it is about birds (guys everywhere go “oh.”) To be precise the article is about how these particular birds the great tit of Britain…lol I said great tit of Britain, sorry) are coping with global warming, climate change..or whatever all the “cool” (or warm” kids are calling it these days. One has to wonder how long they thought about the title before publishing, although it is an ingenious marketing ploy, I wonder how many views it would get with a different title… Enjoy.
Scrubs to Pay Homage to the Princess Bride
May 5th
From time to time I will read Zach Braff’s blog…though he took a slight hiatus he posted again on May the second, and gave Scrubs fans two very cool bits of news.
From ZachBraff.com:
I’ve also been stalling to talk about some big Scrubs news, however I’ve just been informed that I’m not allowed to talk about anything related to Scrubs and it’s current fate. What I can tell you is that we are currently shooting 18 episodes for the 8th season. I am not allowed to discuss where one might watch them. (More news to come.)
But I can tell you that the coolest episode we’ve ever done is going to air on May 8th at 8:30(E/P). I directed it and it’s a GIANT homage to “The Princess Bride”. Dr. Cox has to make up a fairy tale for his son and he does so using everything that happened in the hospital that day. It’s by far the most epic (and expensive) episode we’ve ever done. (Monsters, potions, evil wizards, giants, hunchbacks, gnomes – like “World of Warcraft”, but Scrubs…)
I’ll be posting an exclusive clip on this site in a few days.
Did you hear that! It’s honestly difficult to tell which is more exciting! Don’t get me wrong, the chance that Scrubs will be around for a Season 8 (regardless or where) is truly awesome. However… the princess Bride is quite possibly the greatest movie ever made! I may even wear my fabulous Inigo Montoya shirt for the occasion.
In honor of such an amazing even I have reopened the Favorite Princess Bride Character poll temporarily. Vote while you can and don’t miss out on this episode of Scrubs called My Princess.
Update:
Here are some links about the episode that you might enjoy. It looks extremely interesting!
