Toy Story – The Wire Mashup

If you haven’t watched HBO’s The Wire, you’re really missing out. Ryan Hoffman and Dan Angelucci have created a nice little mash up of Toy Story footage and The Wire dialogue. The lips don’t match up, but it’s entertaining none the less. Watch as Woody becomes the Chief Asshole of the series and Buzz teaches the little green men to conglomerate.

Do You Recognize This Guy?

No? Well you should. His name is Ghyslain Raza and he’s a bad-ass Canadian. Raza is the president of the Patrimoine Trois-Rivieres and holds a law degree from McGill University in Montreal. That isn’t the reason you should know who he is though. Raza’s earliest claim to fame was a low-rez, less than two minute film of him posted to the internet by his so called friends.

Recognize him now?

That’s right kids, Ghyslain Raza was the ‘Star Wars Kid’. Don’t make fun of him though, after the release of that video, Raza, sued the parents of the kids who released the video. Why? Well Ghyslian understandably became depressed – dropped out of school – and entered a psychiatric hospital. It would have been a sad story if he hadn’t gotten his confidence back and returned to school. Good job kid, good job.

Who want’s a Lego Printer? I Do I Do

I played with Legos every day when i was a kid. I never got one of those pre-designed kits though. No sir, no directions for me, I used pure creativity, well, that and pictured of what i was attempting to make. Well it seems as though this guy over at B3ta never quite grew out of Legos, (Do any of us? My parent’s just threw them out when they thought I was too old for them), and built himself a printer. Its quite impressive. It’s bricks, a motor or two and a felt tip fraking pen. Ingenious! Not only is it an awesome display piece, it uses the cheapest ink you can get. He’s got it hooked up to a mac, but I won’t take points off for that …this time.

I’m making one for the Linux box.

A Pause for Dog Humor

It has nothing to do with Tech what-so-ever, but I found it humorous and have decided to share it with you. Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you the worlds foremost canine hip-hop artist, the beat boxing dog.

Knock-Off iPad – I’ll buy that for $150

At Steve Jobs’ last keynote speech, he introduced us to the Apple iPad. It was sleek, mobile, and considerably more than I wanted to pay for a giant iPhone. No longer do I have to worry about buying a big screen iPhone as China Grabber is now selling the iPed here. The iPed is a knock-off product made in Shenzhen, China at the Foxconn plant, which just so happens to be the same place that manufactures the iPhone.

Personally, I’d prefer this to the iPhone as it comes with Android OS installed which keeps Jobs and his cronies from locking out features I’m sure to like. Also, I’m cheap, and being a cheapskate, $150.00 is perfect for this hardware. Check out the video below so see how it works, it’s in Japanese, so good luck understanding the dialogue.

Colbert Ruptures Hamstring – Stewart Shot by Richter

I know, I know. I haven’t been updating, and thus we definitely weren’t the ones to inform you, but unless you’ve been living somewhere with no Cable, Internet or Broadcast T.V. (north Korea?), you know that Conan O’Brien lost his tonight show gig to the Big Giant Chin. Well since that gruesome affair ended, Conan has been traveling the country performing his Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour throughout the States. Last night, the Basic Cable Boys, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert stopped by Conan’s NYU show to condemn O’Brien for leaving N.Y. in the first place. A dance-off ensues which ends with Stewart being shot 9-10 times by Andy Richter.
