Greedo Never Fired

Looks like my famous (vaguely popular google search result for best/worst tattoo) Tattoogle post wound up on reddit.com today. That got GNF about 5,000 hits tonight. As usual most of the discussion is REAL? or PHOTOSHOPPED? And I can tell you all it is indeed 'shopped.' The proof li es above.

photo courtesy of trekcore.com I am going to see the movie tonight or tomorrow. Just wanted to give props to some heroes before I did. I do so with the above picture of Bill and Leonard (obviously NOT Kirk and Spock.) As well as the two Roddenberry quotes I most agree with: "No, ancient astronauts did not build the pyramids— human beings built them, because they're clever and they work hard." "Why should a man give up the joy of ham and eggs if the technology will allow it?" THUMBS UP. More action than I prefer in a sci-fi movie, but then most people like that.

If you have an iPhone you need this game. 15 weapons, great cartoon graphics, deceptively simple game play and all for $1.99. The ten dollar games should be this good. Set it on EASY and just go nuts. That's what I do. (above: I took the liberty of recreating the main character in higher res. Oh and naming him Zack.) Video of game play and link to iTunes located HERE. THE UPDATE HAS ARRIVED: HERE (iTunes Link.)

DiggNation and Battlestar Galactica collide. (click image for larger.) Yeah when Tigh and the old man sat down i raised one eyebrow. When I realized they both had a drink in their hands I raised the other. And when they both lifted the drinks... I leapt out of bed and got to work. DIGG IT!.

Leaving now for opening day matinee.

UPDATE: Flickr supports nothing now. Thats right. This video is hosted on Flickr. Click off of a play button to see. Pretty sweet huh? The wire and the videos on Flickr. (Also, Pro users can upload HD.)

Since We are on a bit of a Star Wars streak here, let's just keep it going... From the flawlessly flawed mind of Bill McMullen comes another stroke of evil genius. See his work HERE.

Cause he is just too damned adorable! Joe Wight is the artist. I simply stumbled upon him in Google. His Gallery lives HERE. And he has an adorable little Star Wars buddy for nearly every letter of the alphabet.

The GREEDO NEVER FIRED shirt is now available at dave.threadless.com . So wether you are a fan of the blog or just another Lucas hater, head over there and have a look. (by the way its been available since long before HAN SHOT FIRST. Which is a lame slogan when you think about it... How could Han have shot FIRST if GREEDO NEVER FIRED!) There's a few other gems there as well so poke around a bit.

I don't know if there is a name for it, but people (people like me) have been using Google's predictive qualities to turn a mirror on society. Why do this? I don't know. "Why is google so..." Try "is it a sin to", "why is britney" etc. Let me know if you've got a good one.

Looks like Kindle 2 will be announced on Monday. Mine was ordered in November so I could not be more excited. BoyGeniusReport.com sums it up nicely with great pics (Man is it slim!), Price (Unchanged) and availability (24th of February.) I know I just told you everything but go to BoyGenius for the pretty pics.

Easily the greatest item on Etsy.com to date. He is for sale, but does come with a warning... "Do not lock him in a warehouse with a torch, tires and scrap metal. He'll build a fully functioning tank and come get you ass." Buy him here. Also available at Etsy... 9x12 wee boba print.
