Knitted Illusion [video]

As an occasional knitter myself (be jealous of my skills), this is the coolest thing. The image is only visible as you walk by the work, or if someone moves it for you. There's a link for the pattern if anyone feels like they are that talented. I don't think I am.

Here it comes: The last binary day of the Century

11.11.11.

I have been waiting for this day for the past thousand years. Sure, it may actually be 11.11.2011, but if you're really bothered by that 2, I say you're annoying that's splitting unnecessary hairs. I mean, come on, I doubt anyone was pointing out when the last ENTIRELY binary day was. You can bet your sweet muffins I would have though. 11.11.1111 would have been the coolest day ever for me in my small feudal village, hanging out with my ancestors.

So make sure you party it up tomorrow. We won't be celebrating another binary year in our lifetimes, and our geeky progeny will envy us when we tell them about all of the stupid stuff we did to celebrate.

Imperial March Dubstep?

Alright, alright, I don't know what you think about dubstep. Whether you embrace the wub or don't even know what the hell I'm talking about, I don't really care. Still, this version is pretty sweet. Start it at 0:40 if you want to skip the intro and get straight to the nitty gritty.

William Shatner Covers Bohemian Rhapsody

Holy shhhhh-- (watch the video and you'll know what I'm talking about). Yes, Shatner's done it again! No, it's not Rocketman, this time he's tackling an iconic Queen song, Bohemian Rhapsody.

I have to say, this video left me in tears after about the third verse with the sing-along lyrics. So, enjoy yourself. This video is crazy!

We Only Saw the Last-Minute Ending of Rise of Planet of the Apes

...where's my cataclysmic man-ape war?!

Well, that explains a lot. According to Badass Digest, the ending to the new Planet of the Apes movie originally was nothing like what any of us naive theatre-goers saw. Now, as much as I really, really enjoyed that movie (the CG was so fine I could have run up to the screen and rubbed myself all over it just to feel it's plushy awesomeness on my skin. I would have too if my feet hadn't gotten stuck to the floor with coca-cola marinated Mike 'n' Ikes), the ending threw me. I mean, where was the cataclysmic moment when they blew up the statue of liberty? They could have at least, I don't know...blown up SOMETHING. I mean, what's with these pacifist monkeys anyway? They were so justified. I was ready to watch sweet little Caesar eat someone in the end.

GameFly is in Trouble with Qwikster in the Mix!

Many different sites are talking about how Netflix is "splitting up" so they have 1 company that deals with internet streaming and 1 that deals with DVD rental. Who cares? Lets talk about what is on the bottom right corner of that table! A freakin' Xbox controller!

A Message from 1967: Live Long and Prosper

Today in 1967, Spock uttered the first "Live long and prosper" in the episode Amok Time. Thank you, ThinkGeek, for recognizing this iconic day in geek history.

I think I'll need to watch this episode tonight to celebrate and pet my stuffed tribble. Of course I have one! Don't you? Those things are hilarious.

New Footage Surfaces! WWZ

For those of you who don't know, I am one of the worlds greatest zombie experts and yes, I have a plan for the apocalypse. And no, it doesn't involve Costco like 99% of your plans. This video above is an incognito video shot of the up and coming movie World War Z (zombie). 

TODAY: DC Relaunch

Well, if Lumberjack Films say it's going to be okay, then it must be! Then again, that's what people have been saying about Anne Hathaway playing Selina Kyle in The Dark Knight Rises, but I still have my doubts. She may look smokin' hot in that one picture, but it's going to take more than a mouthful of drool to win me over. As for this video, they lost my faith when they said Aquaman was going to be cool. Seriously?

Ipod Magic: Marco Tempest (Video)

Marco Tempest, Technoillusionist

Everybody loves a good magic trick. Personally, I'm not sure if I would categorize what this guy does under "magic", but it is still entertaining. He seems more like a master of sleight of hand, perhaps even a master of twirling video screens in a pleasing manner. Video after the jump.

Is Apple Up to Something?

Well, come on, Apple is ALWAYS up to something. So are all the other computer/electronics companies. I mean, what geek doesn't dream of world domination, and what better way to do that than through technology?

Hydrogen Bomb Lost Somewhere in the Atlantic: Expect Mutants in Georgia

Today I Learned Something New shared today that we should all be glad we don't live in Georgia, USA. And for everyone who does live there, you can be excited that maybe, just maybe, you'll be the kind of mutant who will fly and set things on fire mentally.

Best. Engagement. Pictures. EVER

These people are the kind that you WANT to go to their wedding. No doubt there will be cookies and Stormtroopers there, intermingled with the typical crap you find at weddings. All I know is, I see people like this getting married, and I have hope that mankind may yet survive the coming apocalypse.
See what I'm talking about after the jump.
