Greedo Never Fired

If you don’t think that these are hysterical then you either are not aware of the soon to come Snakes On A Plane with Samuel L. Jackson or... You are unfamiliar with Aqua Teen Hunger Force which is inexcusable since I told you to watch it over a year ago (June 27th, 2005.) Anyway, they're funny and I wasted way too much time making them... so laugh dammit. UPDATE: I neglected to mention there actually is an Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie on its way. Read about it here.

There is a free showing of The Warriors coming up at Coney Island. When: Wednesday, August 2nd at 8:30 PM Where: Asser Levy Park amphitheater between Sea Breeze and Ocean at 2nd street Coney Island, NY Why: Because event sponsors ‘NetFlix’ apparently never heard about the violence that erupted outside of dozens of theatres when the movie opened in 1979. What's going to happen when we get there with our blankets and there isn't enough room... and we start fighting for ten square feet of ground, our turf, our little piece of turf. That's crap, brothers! Oh and get this... There is a subway based scavenger hunt “traversing all five boroughs” before hand. Grand Prize: Nine leather "Warriors" vests , and an August 3rd brunch with the cast and crew of The Warriors! LINKY UPDATE: Yes, the grand prize really is Nine leather "Warriors" vests.

There is a fairly new site on the web called logopond . It is an “identity inspiration” site. Their slogan is “A place to fish for ideas” get it? It's a collection of logos which designers (and from the looks of it wannabe designers) have created. You go there to get/steal ideas. After Digg.com pointed it out to me (and of course crashed it... see Digg Effect ) I got right down to making a logo that would hopefully be well received there. And in fact they put the RAYSHIO logo I made (seen above) right on the front page... which was nice. It is just an imaginary company that might offer downloadable audio books. It would be pronounced 'Ray-shee-oh' (like ratio.) Anyway, since the purpose of this post is simply to toot my own horn I won't waste any more of your time... BEEP BEEP. Check out logopond if you like logos. The site is a work in progress but its quite nice so far.

Remember Go Ape Shirts? The site brave enough to take a chance on Boo Boo Walker (formerly known as At At Boo Boo.) We’ll it looks like folks are going ape for yet another winner. Elliot’s New Friend! Yes indeed, another gem orphaned by Threadless.com and rescued by Go Ape. Thank you Preshrunk for breaking the story on this one.

Genericide: The process by which trademark rights are diminished or lost as a result of common use in the marketplace is sometimes known as genericide. (e.g. Kleenex and Popsicle) You know your brand has truly met this definition when Merriam Webster bitch slaps your capital "G" down to lowercase and informs you that you are now a verb. In the interest of further watering down the Google brand (which I love dearly) get your own custom Google home page (like the one pictured above) at customgoogle.

Castle Rock - Jason Bunch was listening to Metallica on his iPod while mowing the lawn outside his Castle Rock home Sunday afternoon when lightning hit him. Says the Denver post. The story goes on to say “The wounds follow the line of his iPod, from his ears down his right side to his hip, where he was carrying the device. The iPod has a hole in the back.” So the back of the iPod was blown out, destroyed by a lightning strike. When reached for comment the RIAA made this quote available: “What you have seen is only a sample of our power. We demand the halt of all illegal downloading of music on the internet or we will be forced to show the world the full extent of our power.”

BumpTop really is the GUI (Graphic User Interface) of the not so distant future. Seriously. Story comes from Gizmodo.com

This Lyrebird is really something else. I almost thought the audio on this movie was fake. Let that bird roam around in your favorite arcade for a while and then bring him to parties. Yeah that’d be awesome. Oh and nobody narrates nature like David Attenborough. Nobody.

Here at YouTube you will see a video in which a enterprising, young lad has hacked the Sudden Motion Sensor in his Mac Book Pro to perform desktop commands. A light smack on the side of the screen switches apps like re-setting the carriage on an old typewriter. It is clever like Trevor for sure, but I always like to take things a step further too far. I say someone should make an interactive fetish video. Nothing too fancy. She presents it, you give it a little smack and she reacts. Fun for the whole family! They can call it Spank Me ... Tag line: “Lord knows you’ve spanked yourself enough”

Ooo look a radical, guerilla campaign is fighting against the corporate plot to get us all on the same MP3 player. Sometime late last night what must have been a roving group of young hooligans fed up with the Orwellian success of the iPod struck a major blow and spoke out with thousands of wheat pasted posters all over Manhattan warning against joining the iPod nation. Well, that should boost iPod sales nicely... Once the reality sets in that the “campaign” is simply an advertising campaign and the “roving group of hooligans” is advertising dandy Grey San Francisco, a big, fat, shiny ad agency. Their goal? Not to get you off the iPod, but to get you onto a SanDisk player. SanDisk? Seriously? If you are looking for a cheap and ugly USB thumbdrive then by all means, but if you want the whole package stick with the iPod. Sure, the advertising is pretty, but it’s the updates, innovations, ease of use, array of accessories, overwhelmingly satisfied customers and friggin’ iTunes that...

Not since Eurostyle (popularized by E Entertainment) have I seen a font take off so hugely as the new and exciting Rosewood. This versatile little fancy-old-west-circus-poster font seems to be popping up everywhere. It’s very likely that you don’t take note of which fonts are in heavy rotation, but I do and I’ll tell you its a wonder girls will even talk to me. Actually I don’t even think this font is new. It’s probably just seeing a resurgence. By the way the bitters label is my design and was completed weeks before the launch of the Old Navy campaign.

Do yourself a favor and let this be the only place you read about OJ’s “outrageous stunt” involving a white Bronco and a whole lot of nerve. I over heard someone reading a headline about OJ's "contraversial" new show. So I investigated and I am fairly sure this “news story” is mostly a press release from the makers of the show. The Fox News article includes a link to where you can buy the DVD and here are some excerpts from the E-Online coverage: “Simpson, who reportedly turns up disguised as an Elvis impersonator, a pizza delivery man and an elderly white man leading a seniors' bingo game.” “Juiced was produced by Xtreme Entertainment Group and is available as a one-hour pay-per-view special this month. A 90-minute, uncensored DVD version will be available online for $19.95.” Right, an article exposing the heinous act of a callous man has the courtesy to let you know where to see, when to see and how much you will pay to see this morally reprehensible show. Don’t...
