LOLWUT! No wait, forget about the LOLZ, WTF: Golden Girls tattoo
Title really says it all. Being a fan of something is cool (can be), getting a tattoo of that can also be cool but in this particular case we go all WTF! Read more »
Nintendo History of Mario wall clock
Here’s a great wall clock decorated with twelve different images of Mario, charting his evolution from the extremely pixelated early years to his current higher definition state — after all, he’s been around for quite some time so he’s certainly seen some changes in hardware capabilities.

Mio Striped Bowl Spotted at Comiket 76
Avid fans of the moe-anime K-ON can probably recall the scene involving Mio’s blue and white striped bowl from episode 6. Those of you needing a little reminder, or who haven’t seen the scene before, it can be found on youtube. Of course, due to Mio’s popularity, it’s only natural that anything involving her would eventually be marketed to hardcore fans. Read more »
State of the Multiverse 10
Recruiting today! Excellent new cosmic corps with prospects. Wanted, candidates who can give their hearts to the job. Essential requirements: Dead. Blackest Night really picks up this week with the release of the second issue and Blackest Night – Batman #1. Both of which rock, and as I thought, all of my doubts have been vanquished. I refuse to give any spoilers here, suffice to say that all of my previous questions have been answered with one of the newest Black Ring bearers – Boston Brand, the Deadman. The horror aspect of the story is played nicely against the form of Tempest the former Aqua Lad, and Mera, and we Read more »

There’s an interesting set of diagrams and discussion over at the Mozilla Wiki about adding multitouch and gesturing to Firefox.

WTF! LOL Swastika tattoo: Dumbass of the Year contender already?
Although I had another contender today already for the DotW title, this guy seems to make the regular posts totally needless for the remainder of the year. I think we can certainly award him with the Dumbass of the Year title and if there were one error about his tattoo it is the location. He should have gotten this tattoo’ed on his face so we could all see what a stupid a$$ he is. And here’s me thinking that the tattoo boob job silly was. Via DeadDog. Read more »
Apple MacBook Touch details leaked?
It seems that detail for the future Apple MacBook Touch have been leaked or discovered. As usual, these are only rumours and have to be taken with a whole bag of salt. Make that a lorry. The MacBook Touch will be a fusion device, a mix of MacBook and iPod Touch/iPhone with a 9″7 touch screen. Read more »
