« Previous EntriesThankful Oscars
Thursday, March 4th, 2010In anticipation for the Oscars this weekend, here’s a fun little mash-up of a few thankful winners remixed together. So what have I learned today? That you should always thank Harvey Weinstein. Oh, and Gwyneth Paltrow is still annoying.

Happy Birthday Photoshop!
Friday, February 19th, 2010All right, Photoshop. I know I was giving you hell yesterday. And I know I gave you a lot of hell at the end of that spring semester. And I know I give you hell basically all the time. But I’d like to take this moment and say, despite all my hissy fits and retaliations [...]

Toy Fair 2010: Banana Design Lab Snugglies
Thursday, February 18th, 2010Like any convention, Toy Fair was pretty exhausting and it didn’t help that we had lunch 5 hours after I was ready to start stuffing my face. But as I nearly fell asleep, wandering the aisles of crazy people with toys, I stumbled upon the Banana Design Lab booth where I finally got to give [...]
Toy Fair 2010: Hershey’s Earbuds And Flash Drives
Thursday, February 18th, 2010Earbuds and flash drives are pretty prevalent in today’s gift world, but these Hersey licensed goodies are almost good enough to eat. And by eat, I mean stick in your ears and computer. Because nobody in their right mind would eat ear candy. I mean, most ear candies. As far as these particular goodies go, [...]
Toy Fair 2010: The Coats Of Toy Fair!
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010It goes without saying that New York City is pretty chilly in the middle of February. It also goes without saying that the floor of the Javits Center can get pretty hot. So where do the coats go?
To hang out with all the other coats.
A party of coats. So many coats!
Side view of a different [...]
Toy Fair 2010: Violet Gumdrop!
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010Forest and Jenny went together like peas and carrots, but my bestie and I go together like milk and cookies. Mostly because I’d rather be a cookie than a carrot. Just saying. Anyway! You know how I am. Stamp a milk carton onto anything and I’ll come running. Lucky for me, the treasures over the [...]
Toy Fair 2010: Iwako Eye Candy!!!
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010There were plenty of yummy things to gaze upon over at the Iwako booth, but nothing beat the stacks upon stacks of boxes of erasers, my favorite school supply. I used to collect erasers as a kid and though my magical collection has mysteriously disappeared over the years, I’ve managed to salvage a few gems. [...]
Toy Fair 2010: Living Dead Dolls Are Drop Dead Gorgeous
Tuesday, February 16th, 2010While visiting the LBP figures over at Mezco, I got a chance to get up close to some upcoming Living Dead Dolls series. And by up close, I mean they were in a glass case. Good enough for me, their creepy gorgeousness shined through. Unfortunately, these photos do them absolutely no justice. Mind you, this [...]
Toy Fair 2010: Funko Plushies Sets
Tuesday, February 16th, 2010While waiting on one of the boys, I noticed these adorable Justice League plushies from far away over at Funko’s booth. I thought to myself, “Oh man, those better be Justice League plushies or else.” Luckily for Funko, they were. And lucky for all of us, they also come in The Wizard of Oz and [...]
Toy Fair 2010: Domo-Kun At Dark Horse!
Tuesday, February 16th, 2010Over at Dark Horse there was a glass case stocked with Domo-Kun and I may or may not have began drooling all over myself when I saw it. In retrospect, it was really Paige who tuned me into the lovable monster and now I just can’t get enough. So mama Paige, which one is your [...]
Toy Fair 2010: On The Floor
Tuesday, February 16th, 2010Yesterday, a team of Gamervisioneers (Luke, Coop, Paul and I) ventured up to the Big Apple for this year’s mega fabulous Toy Fair! Just try and wrap your head around the concept of a giant building filled with toys and adults, yet no children to get in your way. It’s kind of awesome. And it’s [...]
Pop Culture Overload! Oh Yeah, And There’s A Wedding Too
Sunday, November 29th, 2009I feel like I just got hit in the head with the internet. Then again, I bet it probably wouldn’t hurt so much if I knew there was cake at the end of this meme-y tunnel like there will be for all of their soon to be guests. Or maybe this ache is just in [...]
The Internet’s Last Supper
Tuesday, September 29th, 2009There’s a lot of trash on the internet and even more trolls rolling around in it. Still, it’s the subtle geniuses that make this giant, dark and dirty place worth coming to. Today’s reason to sign on? Natasha’s epic and spiritual ode to Keyboard Cat for AOTS’s Great American Keyboard Cat Competition Finalists. Best of [...]
Pi is now stupid long
Tuesday, August 18th, 2009Guest post by Zane!
Researchers at the University of Tsukuba, Japan have used a massive parallel computer called the T2K Tsukuba System to determine that there are 2.5 trillion decimal places in Pi.
Why? Because they can.
This new number breaks the previously established record of pi digits by almost double.
P.S. – if you were wondering, the [...]
Katamari Wedding
Thursday, July 30th, 2009Generally I think weddings are pretty overrated. On the other hand, I would accept any excuse to celebrate Katamari in traditional Katamari headdress and fashion. In other words, this may be the greatest wedding ever. Feel free to disagree as long as you accept that you’re totally wrong.
Check out more Katamari Wedding Day Pictures by [...]
Chop Sabers
Friday, July 10th, 2009You’re not a Jedi until you can handle a bowl of slippery noodles and Jello with a pair of Chop Sabers. But really, that shouldn’t be a problem for you. I’ve seen Jedis man a bowl of milk like it was a won ton. I don’t know how you guys do it, it’s amazing. Especially [...]
The Softer Side Of Star Wars – Felted Jabba and Sarlacc Pillow
Thursday, July 2nd, 2009The Sarlacc Pit is not really somewhere you’d ever consider resting any part of your body let alone your head. The Sarlacc Pillow on the other hand… well, I don’t think I really want to put my head on that either. I have enough problems with my ears as is.
Dare I say that Jabba is [...]
First Aid For Wedding Emergencies
Wednesday, July 1st, 2009I’d be the first to tell you that weddings are an absolute disaster and should be avoided (unless an open bar is guaranteed). But sometimes we don’t really have a choice and must attend or you know, get married. Don’t worry, I may be critical but I won’t judge you. I’ve dined in hell for [...]
Smurf Rave
Thursday, June 11th, 2009Much like Rutgers stuffing a room full of Waldos for the sake of a world record, 2,510 blue-envied individuals in Swansea, UK gathered to set their own record… dressed like Smurfs.
The city of Swansea was turned blue as a group of 2,510 people, the majority of whom were students from the local university, crammed into [...]
