Screech doing Porn

Posted by Gary on September 27th, 2006

Lowering the pop culture bar another notch is actor/comedian Dustin Diamond, aka ‘Screech’ from the cult TV classic “Saved by the Bell.” Yea, he’s done a porno with the working title “Saved by the Smell.”
Don’t mind me… I’ll be over here jabbing a fork in my eyeballs.

A Stand Up Guy

Posted by Matt on September 27th, 2006

Local Green Bay D.J. Otis Day (WIXX 101.1 FM) spent his Thursday night playing a practical joke on his station’s sales staff.  After everyone had left for the night, he snuck into their office and removed all but one of their chairs.  Not only did he take about a dozen staff members’ chairs, he cleaned […]

Oh, Air Canada!

Posted by Gary on September 22nd, 2006

Another interesting link from Tani… Seems a guy is being fined $1,350 (roughly $1200 American) by Air Canada for being verbally abusive to staff, and thus delaying a flight nearly a half hour.
Dramatic reenactment:
Drunky McDrinksalot - “Get me another drink, bitch.
Flight Attendant - “I’m sorry sir, we’re about to take off. We be by […]

How did Spiderman’s girlfriend die?

Posted by Gary on September 22nd, 2006

From BoingBoing, a story about a professor who teaches the physics of superheroes and comic books. The clip linked to from this story details how Spiderman’s girlfriend (Gwen Stacy) died in Amazing Spiderman #121. Really good (geeky) stuff.

Posted by Matt on September 21st, 2006

Thought this was interesting… it’s a Muppet Matrix mashup sorta thing, done by some guys in an ITT Tech 3D modeling class. Pretty clever.

Sony Bravia - Holy Balls!

Posted by Gary on September 18th, 2006

This is just cool. It’s a commercial for the Sony Bravia LCD television that involves a couple bazillion bouncy balls dumped down a hilly street in San Fran.
The most impressive part is that no digital effects were used. Watch the commercial, then click on the “Behind the Scenes” for info on how they accomplished this […]

Google and Apple talking video?

Posted by Brian on September 18th, 2006

Filed under: HDTV, Home EntertainmentIt’s the stuff fanboy dreams are made of: Google and Apple, sittin’ in a tree. In fact, if you nearly passed out when Stevie J. walked onto the stage the other day sans mock turtleneck, or started into hysterics when Larry Page rode into CES on the back of that SUV, […]

TDK’s 32GB Solid State Disk joins the party

Posted by Brian on September 18th, 2006

Samsung’s been hogging the Solid State Disk limelight for months with their 32GB SSD first peeped at CeBIT. So it does our invisible hand some good to hear TDK launch their version of the 32GB SSD, albeit in sample quantities only for the time being.
