- Something else I've read recently: a four chapter webcomic called Delilah Dirk and the Turkish Lieutenant. Neat little story, very well done. Delilah is kick-butt awesome, but rash, impulsive and an unrepentant thief. Not a character I would normally care about yet I still root for her. The stories are told from the perspective of the more ( Read more... )

- Giraffe family. I have died of cute. :)

- From plasmonicgrid: Music note socks that I really want. I definitely want to add more music-themed socks to my drawer but most of those I've found are white, and I just don't like wearing white socks. Not that I've done an exhaustive search, mind you.

- I've had nights (weekends?) full of "carousing with friends" ( Read more... )

For laughs:

- Ice machine dispenser engineering manual. It's funny because it's true. Also, I've never really liked refrigerators that have water and ice cube dispensers.

- Missing the point of headphones. I don't run into this a lot but when I do it's no less annoying. Also annoying, people who watch portable DVD players WITHOUT headphones ( Read more... )

Happy almost Friday! :)

- R2-D2 bike helmet. :)

- I missed Tuesday's earthquake, didn't feel a thing. I was disappointed to miss it...and then I promptly felt odd expressing disappoinment at missing an earthquake. But anyway, here's a very cool video of animated seismometer data showing the waves of the quake as they move across the country ( Read more... )

- Mark Hamill still has it. I could watch that video all day! I'm SO glad I got to see him at C5. (Via Club Jade)

- Fabulous art from Steve Thomas: Using various Imperial hardware to illustrate the Darth Vader mask. I love this kind of stuff, for the originality and creativity. And I don't think I've seen one make use of the Imperial Guards ( Read more... )

- This is very old in Internet years but I enjoyed it immensely and it still makes me smile: From @DeathStarPR: "The Beckhams have named their daughter Harper Seven, presumably because Caprica Six was taken. #TheBeckhamsAreKillerRobots" I literally laughed out loud ( Read more... )

- From atdt1991: Does anyone else remember the Scholastic book club?? OMG, I ABSOLUTELY LOVED those flyers! I rabidly poured over each new edition. I read every book description three times, coveted the free gifts and posters, and fantasized about owning all the books evar. well, most of them anyway. Never was interested in Nancy Drew. Mom's limit ( Read more... )

- From vacheestfachee: Star Wars ANH told entirely in iconography. "Impressive. Most impressive." :) #25 cracks me up every time.

- From atdt1991: I can't stop watching this PSA video for wearing a seat belt. Such an incredible use of powerful imagery...and not a car or a road in sight. Amazing.

I really, really want these hand painted Star Wars ornaments! But...not willing to pay that price for them. Aren't they pretty, though? The Rebellion symbol is my favorite. Too bad he's not selling that one separately. I'd jump on that.

Also on Etsy: Ackbar totebag is made of cute. :)
