Decpticon Engagement Ring.. aka are you trying to tell me something?

Still pretty awesome tho!

The setting of this ring was custom made for a customer using our 3Design CAD CAM software and cast in 14k white gold.

If you ask me, she should take a REAL good look at the fiance! You don't wanna get stuck changing oil diapers later on...

Liquid Television is BACK! And it's about FREAKIN TIME

Thank you MTV, for FINALLY bringing back the corrupter of my youth: Liquid Television!

Airing online only (no surprise there), a couple shorts from the series are now uploaded HERE.
Usually it aired at the crack of dawn in the 90's, it was always a WHOOPEE! moment when I stumbled on it. (they moved the times around a lot, so you never really knew when it aired...).

This cross-section of warped minds went on to create Beavis and Butthead and Aeon Flux!
Some beauties:

But who knows how long they'll be there, considering they never gave warning the first time!

Advanced Style - Dressing Age Appropriate? PHSHAW!

Who says you have to be young and waif-ish to be fashionable?  These "advanced" ladies show you are never too old to play with your clothes and look FABULOUS. I admire their chutzpah!


In our immediate family we're lucky to have amazing dressers to emulate. Jealously of outfits runs rampant. Unfortunately they're all smaller than a size 4 compared to my "behemoth" larger sizing - so hand me downs are out of the question.  

Hmm... maybe some of these ladies might want to adopt another grandchild????
More inspiration at Advanced Style Blog! (where I stole the photos from...)

Ollie Klublershturf vs. The Nazis!

Little brother Ollie is a super genius! But when his inept older brother brings home a thinly veiled NAZI SPY to steal his time machine, things get hairy for the Nazis!

Awesomeness.

HBO... Remember this opener?

You know you're humming the HBO tune right now...


P.S. Notice they said 3 MONTHS to build that model?
These babies only took me a day or so. TAKE THAT BOSSMAN! Almost 3 months less time and a fraction of the cost! Bitter? Me?...

Historically HARDCORE BABY! (Smithsonian just stepped it up)

Kinda makes me wanna learn something.  via / link

Ever wanted to know when the first emoticon was created?

Those creatives at Webbmedia have done it again! This time they're ringing in the new year with a look back at the last Three Decades of the Memes that Shaped Our Internets.

With highlights such as the Dancing Baby and categories like "ninjas" and "intertubes", this infographic may just be the next meme on the list!

MAWR Alex Prager!

A ways back (like 2008 waaaaaaays back), Super Blogger Girl posted this ... some Lovely White Trash Photography!
Wigs! Cigarettes! Whirlpools!
My head explodie!
Flash forward 2 years, and photographer Alex Prager is at it again! This time, her new set,  "Week-End", seems to theme on 70's-exploitation movies and troubled girls setting bonfires. Mm....fire.

View them in entirety on her site!  

In my head, Alex Pragar & I are having an ongoing affair.via

Augmented Reality Tattoo! (Animate boring flash art!)

The brainiacs over at ThinkAnApp have really created a digital doozy!

In a nutshell: When viewed through a camera, the barcode (tattooed above) is read as augmented reality! A.K.A. Super-Awesome-Fun Animation!

(The ThinkAnApp guys "developed the software to recognize the AR barcode on curved surfaces like the human body" making way for new tattoo art!)

People of Walmart aka Why I Don't Shop There.

Putting Out the VibeThe Good, The Bad, The Ugly
We Don't Want to Get To Formal:

You've seen 'em. The "Umm, you know you're in public, right?" patron. It's like Walmart is the mecca of all things crazy and the people can't resist! Hell, they don't even have a "No Shirt, No Service Sign". It MUST be heaven!

Thank goodness for the documentary internets:
People of Walmart in all their shiny glory.

Join the 23rd Century, Smelling like Pon Farr!

Okay, who's responsible?

If Pon Farr, the musk of a Vulcan in heat, is too much for you, try the distinguished Tiberius Cologne for Men. But stay away from the Red Shirt Cologne. Nothing says "I'm a target!" better than a stinky man in a red shirt! Smells like a slow and painful death!

Nope, I wish I were joking, but secretly I'm annoyed I didn't think of this first. Their made my Genki!

A Year in Review through News Photos

Before ya'll get started on the Party Hats and Noisemakers tonight, let's take a retrospective journey of the last year with The Most Amazing News Photos of 2008! (all from Boston.com!)

2008 has been an eventful year to say the least - it is difficult to sum up the thousands of stories in just a handful of photographs. That said, I will try to do what I've done with other photo narratives here, and tell a story of 2008 in photographs.

See all 120 pics here (in a 3 part series!) via/link
