HBO Makes One Great, One Terrible Decision

HBO has decided to drop the Rome series after this current season. Apparently the cost was just to high. This is really unfortunate, as Rome was a spectacle to behold. Everything about it screamed authenticity, and the price tag was in my opinion, worth it. It's not like they had terrible numbers, and it was critically acclaimed. I am disappointed to say the least.



But I just heard that HBO has picked up George R.R. Martin's Song of Fire and Ice and is going to create a new series based on those excellent four (and counting) books. I am a bit worried that because the books are so long, and HBO's season runs are only 13 episodes, that too much will get cut from the books. But if anyone can pull this off, it is HBO. I highly recommend picking up at least the first book in the series A Game Of Thrones. The series seems to have lost its way as of late, but the first two books are amazing. I can't wait to see Ned with his brutal sword Ice or Jon Snow manning the Wall with his dire wolf. I am sure that once the series comes to TV the same words will be on everyone's lips.

Winter is coming...

I Want To Believe

One of the few funny bits on SNL this weekend (what a waste of Piven).

Also, a funny response to the D**k in a Box bit from a few weeks back on SNL.

Self Explanatory

That is all.

Kick Ass Toy, Terrible Music

This is a seriously cool toy to play with if you own a motorboat. The music the video is set to, however, will make your ears liquefy and dribble down your neck in a horrible gelatinous mass. Sorry, it can't be helped. I suggest turning the sound off as a precaution.

Damn, I wish I could get my hands on one of these.

Desktop Necromancer

Awesome desktop necromancer that you can download and print out. Finally, a demon summoning bad ass that can sit on my haunted monitors. Sweet.
Check it out.

Crowd Antics

Just saw this crazy vid of a show from Japan where a group of 50 people do crazy things to lone pedestrians. My favorite is the last one. Check it out.

It's Beautiful at the End of the World

Just a quick post today. Saw this over on digg and thought it was a gorgeous piece of photography. It's also a pretty much what the end of the world would look like. Those are 8 independent nuclear warheads striking the ocean at over 4000 miles per hour. Horrifying and beautiful gallery of similar pics here. Explanation below.

LGM-118A Peacekeeper missile system being tested at the Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands.

The lines shown are the re-entry vehicles -- one Peacekeeper can hold up to 10 nuclear warheads, each independently targeted. Were the warheads armed with a nuclear payload, each would carry with it the explosive power of twenty-five Hiroshima-sized weapons.

Been too long, Awesome iPhone

Ok, so I haven't posted since Christmas Eve. Let's just say, Christmas was great, it was good to see my family and now I am back home. Everyone caught up? Good. Not much to post today except the freaking AWESOME Apple iPhone that was announced today at MacWorld (just across the bay from where I sit).
