Chicken Lips

White Dwarf by Chicken Lips...make it your ringtone

Kryptonite found in coal mine, Lex Luther Furious

It doesn't glow green or come out in hot shiny crystals. But kryptonite, known more fondly by nerds as "sodium lithium boron silicate hydroxide" was discovered in a Serbian mine. First person to find Green Lantern's ring becomes ruler of the world, GO!

What's Hot Right Now...

Post "New Music Tuesday" (if anyone receives music emails from Apple you will know what I'm talking about) I was inspired to update my music collection and look up my favorite artists to see who had come out with some hot new shit. Both Bjork and Maroon 5 are dropping some hot titles next month, I saw Bjork on SNL this weekend and I am looking forward to some good ol' fashion Bjork, whatever that is. The Arctic Monkeys have a new one for you lovers of the British rock/pop scene. Bebel Gilberto is out with a new one called Momento, for those of you looking for something ground breaking you won't find it here. You will find some vintage Bebel so if you liked the other stuff then you'll like this too. Via my Emusic membership I also am forced to look for new music every month which is great for an audiophile like me. I ran into a band called Field Music which is really like an updated version of XTC (Making Plans for Nigel). Pretty good for some kitchy background music. Doing a little research I also found out that Diplo has another mix that he did called Fabriclive 24: Diplo, not many people can mix Aphex Twin and Ludacris. At least not like he can.

Tech in Nigeria...Not just 419 Emails

Finally my motherland will be known for other things than trying to scam naive people from other countries out of their money. Elections were held on Saturday and they were monitored by volunteers using SMS (Short message system) messages to monitor voting locations and make sure there was no untoward actions taking place. Kudos Nigeria, I like where this is going. Take a look at the article for more information. Also good luck to President Obasanjo in his upcoming school year. The president who never finished college will be going back to school at the tender age of 70. Looks like everything is coming up Nigeria.

Beautiful day for rugby!

Hoohas...

...too much time on their hands? These students at UCSC who created the first level of Donkey Kong with 3"x3" post-its in one of the campus buildings. As cool as this was, all these kids should have their rooms checked for rifles or interviewed to rule out some type of homicidal behavior. Anyone who puts this much energy into such a pointless task might be disturbed. It's like maintaining a blog that no one reads, very suspicious.

Black Actors

The Black Actors guild was put to the test recently, glad to say that this picture still is a fair representation of our relationship...on the really really really really really real real real tip, I think bitches straight worked against us this time.

If this picture doesn't scream ''saturday night live sketch'' i don't know what does.

Rainbow Traceurs!!!

Finally, at long last the wait is over. The trailer for the hot new video "Le Parkour" is available for public viewing. This video is the results of the collab between Matt Pinto and Paul Bomba. With this trailer we can only assume that the full length feature will be nothing short of amazing. Booosh!

New Years eve was a crazy time, but for Henrik & Sam it was status quo...

Don't Break The Bottle!

I just picked this up doing some thrift shopping. I looked at the box and thought "I must have this". The test run was my roommate and I am proud to say that it was a huge success. It took about 5 minutes before he had royally screwed it up and another 5 for us to fix it and get the lock off. A key quote from one of the websites that I was looking at:

"Not to be given to wine addicts if you value your life. This frustrating puzzle will leave the wine unopened unless they can work out the secret..."

Digital "Kick Me" Sign

In "The Darker Side Of Craig's List" today we look at a woman in Tacoma who had some property she was renting out recently fall victim to a nasty craig's list scam. This is actually a funny ass story. I guess people do look on Craig's List for everything including kitchen sinks and light fixtures that you rip out of the wall itself. Watch yourself kiddies, piss off the wrong person and you might get punked as well.

Also please check out this sweet op-ed from the New York times from a pair of record store owners. We all know that the RIAA is evil and a little retarded, but at least these guys are admitting it as well. "Video Killed the Radio Star", more like "The Industry Killed the Radio Star".

The aforementioned title is Copyrighted, patent pending and all that jazz. Creative commons, whatever.

Also this...

I just needed to post this, from Vice magazine:

Me as a Big O! Robot

I was messing with my buddies new Mac book and playing with his embedded camera and made this photo. I like it cause it makes me look like I can shoot laser beams out my arms or eyes. What would my robot name be?
