A Quick Post About Zombies

In anticipation of the remake of Dawn of the Dead, I give you a list of Anti-Zombie Survival Gear. I already have a preliminary zombie emergency plan brewing in my head in case the dead return to walk the earth and feed on brains.

Brendon Small, Boy Genius

For all of you Home Movies fans out there, I found this fun interview by CitizenRobot with the show's co-creator, Brendon Small.

Here's an excerpt:


Robot: Finish this sentence. "My most valuable possessions are _______, ________ and ________."

Small: Um, my most valuable possessions..hmmm -

Robot: You know, the house is on fire...

Small: Gee, what would I take. My puppy. Ernie, is his name. Probably one of my guitars. And um,

Robot: You could have cheated and said "allmyguitars" -

Small: Yeah, but you can't run out of the house with all those guitars. I got my puppy under one arm, my guitar under the other, um, and underpants. That's not that funny though, but, um, leave it in!

If you haven't seen Home Movies yet, you are missing out on what is arguably the best animated comedy out there. Sadly, its ratings on Adult Swim aren't so hot, so its future is hazy. A DVD might be in the works, but it will be a while before fans can get their hands on it. However, you can find many Divx files of episodes on Kazaa Lite and Soulseek.

They're Like Love Songs For Link

For all of you Nintendo nostaligists out there (yes, I'm looking at you Blog), there's a great website that you may not have heard of. If you have heard of OverClocked ReMix, then please disregard the rest of this post and return to looking at porn or the Drudge Report.

OCR hosts a collection of video game remix mp3s. Remixes include music from games ranging from Diablo on the PC to River City Ransom on the NES. If you're a fan of any Final Fantasy game, FF remixes seem to reproduce like rabbits at OCR.

In addition to music, the website also has a collection of emulators for long-dead systems like the Commodore 64 and Turbografx-16.

I also found a lot of mp3s by virt, a composer of original console music. He has a lot of music available for download including songs he made for different games on the Game Boy Advance and a lot of original NES-inspired stuff.

It's time to rock out to 8-bit beats, y'all.

Join the Knit Army



While perusing the wonderful time-vortex that is "the Internet," I happened upon a bunch of scans of 1960's era knitting pattern magazines. Some of the outfits look as though they could be part of the next wave of retro fashion; however, other garments should probably remain as relics of a bygone era. There's also a valuable lesson to be found in all of this: No matter how dashing a man looks, if you make him wear a knitted sweater he'll look like a young Mr. Rogers.

Here are some samples:

Mmm, hot dogs.

Is that Wesley Clark on the left?

Somehow this outfit seems inappropriate for this sort of climate.

I love this sweater honey! No really!

Ah, so this is what they mean by "open" relationships.

BONUS: The Web site also offers three of the knitting patterns if you e-mail a request.

UPDATE: Lauren sent me this link featuring knitted breakfast items (which somehow includes peas). Awesome.

Firefox, wasn't that a movie that had Angelina Jolie's boobs in it? Wait, or was that Clint Eastwood's boobs?

The new version of Mozilla's standalone browser Firebird is out, except it's now called Firefox. Despite the name change, the browser seems to have all the good things still built in it: tabbed browsing, integrated pop-up blocking (which recognizes the differences between a pop-up and a comment window), built-in Google searchbox, and nifty address bar Quicksearches.

The Quicksearches are one of the niftier features of Firefox. For example, in the address bar at the top of the browser I can type, "google puppy bomb" and my browser will immediately direct itself to Google, where I can find all the search results for "puppy bomb." Another good Quicksearch is for those moments when you don't know the definition of a word like, for instance, "onanism." Just type, "webster onanism" and you'll be taken to the Merriam-Webster online dictionary.

You can make your own Quicksearch also. I made one for the Internet Movie Database so I could quickly figure out if Firefox was a movie with Jolie or Eastwood breasts (it was Eastwood).

more cuponoodles

A new entry at cuponoodles that was written when I should have been finishing my Ethics paper. Be forewarned, it contains a lot of swearing.

cuponoodles

I'll be posting some writing on my university web space, so if you're interested in some light reading just go to http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~aikeda/cuponoodles/. Hopefully, I'll be posting on a regular basis on Sundays, and if I figure out if I can write more than one piece a week I may start updating on Wednesdays or Thursdays too. I'm seeking to improve my writing, so comments are welcomed. Or something.

Where the C.H.U.D.s Are



If I lived in New York City and had me a Maglite, extra batteries and some courage, I would venture to the underworld of abandoned subway stations. I'd probably go for some heat-vision goggles too.

Better take one of these too. You never know when one of those mutated evil genius molerats might pop up.
