With no further ado nor explanation, I give you: cream(ed) corn wrestling.
Should your tastes run more to the anatomical, perhaps you'd like to explore the theoretical skeletal systems of cartoon characters. Moving even further into the realm of the abstract, enjoy Moebius Syndrome, a surprisingly addictive puzzle game. For Karsten, coincidentally enough here in New York even now, here's one of those Quicktime panoramas of Strawberry Fields, which should give him all kinds of warm fuzzies and cold stickies. And then there's the trailer for the Tim Burton version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Looks Deppalicious, though I must say it looks like Johnny Depp is reprising a combination of his roles as Ed Wood and Edward Scissorhands with a little Anna Wintour thrown in. (via)
Take a gander at this virtual actress thing. One of the best attempts I've seen yet, though I'd be curious to see how good the eyes look when the image is larger. (via)
Here's an thoughtful and tactful way to remind loud cell-phone talkers that they shall reap the whirlwind of rebuke for sowing the fields of assholery. And please for to enjoy this excellent crank letter sent in to Gizmodo. I have nothing! I will be killed soon as Toshiba planned! (via)
This is the 200th post on Diztopia. 200 x an average post length of 300 words = 60,000 words, or halfway through the novel manuscript I haven't written. Time well spent!
Niblets: eww, eww, EWWW!
The skeletal drawings would be a cool Halloween deal. The Powder Puff Girl skeltons are particularly creepy... Mobius Syndrome, hmmm. Isn't that the "inability to suck?" Unlike my score on that game!
Quicktime movies: do I really want qttask back in my system tray again? Ehhh, ok. "Strawberry Fields" was a visionary song. Every fifth or so hit song of the 1970's used that chord progression. Wonka is freaky! Creating a virtual actress must be tedious as all hell. Not bad at all, though.
I'm not necessarily against folks talking on their cell phone in public. In a movie theater, kill 'em! But in public, if it irritates you, move away. Or, if you're not the type to walk away, move to where the phoner can see you, and stare at them. For particular emphasis, one can also cup one's hand to ear.
Time well spent? For me it certainly was! Your blog is at least as necessary to my day as the newspaper!

Heh. Mind if I steal that for a logo? "At Least As Necessary As the Newspaper."

this kind of topic lends itself to a good review, because when it comes to hot things can be interpreted in many ways, sometimes comic, sometimes seriously, in order to thank them for sharing the information!

Google gets into the messy business of telecommunications. I don’t mean to say Google’s day job is easy but the telecom market gets it involved with government agencies like the FCC on a more regular basis. Like many other large telcos the company will have to spend more and more money lobbying and technology differentiation may be less important than government regulations in ensuring future success.
