Tidbits

  • Sleepover at Ikea - Maybe this is the only way to get to the $1 early enough…

  • A ramen bath - Japanese spa with special baths resembling instant noodles.  I wanna play!

  • Old age homes for dogs - 1) Old dogs don’t like to be abandoned at strange places.  2) Playing with young puppies will probably cause the older dogs to die faster due to exhaustion.

  • A remote-controlled pigeon - Oh the poor thing…

  • An article on a brilliant method of teaching grade schoolers about bats and rabies.  I smell a lawsuit.

  • Will trade beer for Crumpler bags.  Tempted by the beanbag and messenger bags…

March 12, 2006 | Entertainment, Fun & Games |

So I was watching an episode of CSI:NY today, and their opening sequence showed a small LCD screen embedded in a gravestone showing a video of the deceased talking to you. A quick google, and omg, video tribute gravestones actually exists! And people thought taking photos at a…

Narnia? Bible? Huh?

December 15, 2005 | Entertainment |

So watched Narnia last weekend for Matt’s bday/holiday get-together. I read the first two book of the series, “Magician’s Nephew” and “Lion, Witch..” right before, and am in the middle of “Horse and his Boy” right now. And when I was reading “Lion, Witch”, all the Christian subtext was…
