This three minute break is brought to you by...

LORIS.. Oh My God. I am in love. LOVE. I want this sloth so bad. She and Sy would would be Best Friends! She moves slow enough that even if she was making her way across my living room Sy could investigate thoroughly and still have time to prepare for her arrival First video sold me on Loris. The Second video just made it clear this is NOT puppy love. it's Sloth infatuation!!

This is Loris being tickled... It's unbelievably adorable!



This is Loris being very active and playing with a table... the luckiest table ever!

This 10 minute Break it brought to you by...

For $17!!!
Within moments of Apple introducing the iPod Nano, two things happened. One, the entire population of Apple fanboys–pale, bespectacled young guys with a well-established Pavlovian erection response to Steve Jobs’ black turtleneck–let out a collective orgasmic sigh. And two, accessory manufacturers, pondering at the Nano-as-Wristwatch product possibilities, let out a collective orgasmic sigh. And behold, Country Comm’s standard 22mm watch band turns that little Nano into a pretty snappy watch. It fits perfectly through the back of the Nano, while allowing you to unclip at will. Comes in a variety of colors, much like the Nano, so you can coordinate.
The Apple Guy who runs the MidPoints Blog told me about this. I'd yet to check it out. I hate to admit how fucking cool it actually looks!


This Almost Happened: Nokia's Star Trek Communicator Call Phone Prototype:

Back in 1998, Nokia created fourteen prototypes of a modified N76 that featured custom sounds, graphics, and hardware to make it look, sound, and behave like a Star Trek communicator.

One of those prototypes recently showed up on Ebay - thus the RARE pic!!
The quote posted with the photo said, "Obviously, the project was quickly abandoned because–really–aren’t “regular” custom ringtones already punishment enough for civilized society?" my answer is Not Even Close!! Expedite this phones manufacturing please!!!

Oh My God..

I never cease to be amazed at the utterly unique and organic simulacrums LEGO mavens are able to create out of a cardboard box of rigid, polygonal plastic blocks. This bust of the Predator is replete with crab-like mouth fangs, sinuous dreadlocks, and day-glo alien blood. The decapitated LEGO Predator bust is made by bricmeister MisterZumbi. I have no idea how these guys do this: Even one of those stock Star Wars X-Wing construction sets utterly confounds me, and I end up making a Rebel Alliance themed castle instead.


Tattoo of the Day...

Do I really need to comment here?

30 Days of Night: Dark Days

Soul To Take



Wes Craven may have done it again! Very Stoked about this movie!! Creepy, Scary and Rated R ... All good signs!!

Tractor Beams!!!




Tractor beams, energy rays that can move objects, are a science fiction mainstay. But now they are becoming a reality -- at least for moving very tiny objects. Researchers from the Australian National University have announced that they have built a device that can move small particles a meter and a half using only the power of light. Physicists have been able to manipulate tiny particles over miniscule distances by using lasers for years. Optical tweezers that can move particles a few millimeters are common.

Rima Arideaus



This high forward oblique view of Rima Ariadaeus on the moon was photographed by the Apollo 10 crew in May 1969. Center point coordinates are located at 17 degrees, 5 minutes east longitude and 5 degrees, 0 minutes north latitude. The Apollo 10 crew aimed a hand-held 70mm camera at the surface from lunar orbit for a series of images of this area.
