Unintentionally sexual Star Wars coloring book

Mark Frauenfelder: (Click thumbnail for enlargement) Andrew Tonkin says: “Coloring page found in ‘Star Wars: Droids’ and ‘Star Wars: Balance of the Force’ coloring books by Dalmatian Press.

“I hope this unfortunately suggestive angle was unintentional, especially considering the father-daughter aspect of the scene. Yecch.

“Vincent Gallo’s The Brown Bunny billboard on the Sunset Strip created public outcry, and yet impressionable youth everywhere are dulling their Crayolas on this very scene. Strange.”

As her two twelve year old daughters fight over which one gets to wear the tube top and micro mini-skirt to school the next day, this woman is on the phone with a 911 operator who says what we were all thinking.

911 Operator Makes Bad Joke

April 14 - A 911 dispatcher has been disciplined after making a ‘bad joke’ when a caller asked for help controlling her child.

Turtle Light

This is superb little light fits on your keychain, runs 100 - 150 hours on a commonly available watch type battery. It has the perfect indent to sit on your finger because it was designed to be a bicycle headlight sitting on the handlebar, where the elastic band reaches around and hooks on the little turtle legs. The kicker is that this light is only $3.50 CDN, and a red version is available for $3.00 CDN.

I have tinkered with every blog posting tool you can think of; from w.bloggar to ecto and not a single one of them has held my attention for any great length of time.

 

Until I met Sauce Reader. Sauce Reader, by Synop, is a bloggers best friend. It met all of my requirements.

 

1. Free or low cost. (Sauce Reader is free for personal use, and at $24.95 even the pros might cast an eye toward Sauce Reader.
2. WYSIWYG. This is one place where I just would not budge. Being an HTML guru is cool and all but I’d much rather spend time shoving my ill-concieved notions down your gullet than fibberting with HTML.
3. Spell checker. What the hell is fibberting anyway? You don’t know; neither did Sauce Reader’s spell check function. This little do-dad has a spell checker that would make Tom Wolfe take the straight-and-narrow.
4. Support for multiple blog APIs. Who knows when Google will piss off their users again by suffering a week long outage? I need to know that I can post to any of the blogs I frequent.
5. Category support. Very important for Wordpress blogs.

 

And that ain’t all. Not long ago I posted an article on Zempt, saying:

“Zempt might be the best tool for Wordpress blogs.”

boy was I wrong. Zempt is a good client for posting to blogs, but Sauce Reader is so much more. With an integrated rss feed reader and all the nifty text formatting buttons; I might just start posting more.

 

 

Sky News : Ay-Aye: What’s this Strange Creature?

Kintana is fed by hand

RARE CREATURE IN BRISTOL

One of the world’s strangest and most endangered animals has been born in captivity in an inner-city zoo.

Kintana,
an eight-week-old Madagascan aye-aye, is the first captive bred aye-aye
in the UK, and is now being hand-reared at Bristol Zoo Gardens.

The aye-aye, a species of lemur, is
the largest nocturnal primate in the world and is found in dense
tropical forest on the island of Madagascar.

This is a killer prototype! Ruby, presented at the IDF Japan 2005, is a PC the size of a PDA, but it still packs a Pentium M ULV 600 and Wacom just like on a TabletPC. The screen is not touch-sensitive though. Icing on the cake is that it runs the TabletPC OS! And all this in 450g!!! I want one!!!
