  • Kiteboarder gets srs air!
    That would be the scariest situation to be in ever. Seriously, if I was the boarder I would have just ditched the kite as soon as I realized that I didn't seem to be coming back down. Assuming that point of realization came soon enough that I was sure I could fall without killing myself.

    From the comments on the BoingBoing article I got it from, apparently modern kiteboarding kites have a quick-release mechanism in case this happens, but also apparently, by the time you realize it's happening and are able to activate the mechanism, you'd probably kill yourself.
  • The sound track for Brutal Legend. Seriously, 108 songs of bad ass.

    Sell the Vatican, save the world.
    Reminds me of the time I suggested to my senior-year religion teacher that the Vatican return the priceless treasures the Church looted from other countries or received as a result of genocidal conquests and inquisitions carried out by other nations to their rightful owners. She just about flipped out and said there was "absolutely no reason" to do so.

    Got out one of my old RC cars to mess around with the Tyco Scorcher 6x6. With a good charge on the battery it's ready to go. Going to upload a video tomorrow.

  • This indie game called Runman: Race Around the World, which has a cute MS Paint aesthetic and reminds me a lot of classic Sonic the Hedgehog and Dino Run. Also it has an awesome url: http://whatareyouwait.info/
  • One of the best short stories ever: Murakami's The Second Bakery Attack.
  • Good story, but My favorite part was the Corolla.

    Agreed. This Murakami story is superior, I feel. Regardless, you should all just be reading Murakami. As much of his work, as often as possible. Go!

    If that exploded your mind, you really need to check out Sick Animation.

    I'll bet Sick Animation doesn't sound vaguely like early Depeche Mode.

    Or so they'd have you believe.

  • I made Viga's head explode while telling her about a conversation I had in which I decided that the Spirit of St. Louis was actually a moe girl and that Charles Lindbergh was, in fact, Pedo-Bear.
  • Spirit of St. Louis was actually a moe girl
    What was that show called again? Also, if the Spirit of St. Louis is a moe girl, then I think that the the Blackbird is a completely GAR guy.

    No show. Just Li and I discussing our model kit collections. He was ranting about his Gundam and I mentioned my Spirit of St. Louis model. He tried to tell me that the Spirit of St. Louis "didn't count" because it wasn't the category he was referring to. The conversation basically devolved from there, and I really don't remember the specifics but... it was epic.

    Actually though, my Thing of the Day is that David Tennant and Simon Pegg are slated to be in a movie together called Burke and Hare, and it's going to be directed by John Landis.

    Sort of show.

    Oh mans, I will definitely be seeing that.

  • This is pure computer + physics porn!
  • "Shaddup woman, get on my horse." Thanks for the note, next Weebl song I have to recite from the top of my head on a Geekchat.

    If you would like to rage against a homophobic Daily Mail journalist, click here. Not for those prone to raging at unfounded stupid accusations.

    If you would like to see said journalist put back in her place by Charlie Brooker, click here.

    Both links will give you enough to work out the background.
