Time-Lapse of Hot Air Balloons...

I've been busy today, but I feel bad that I haven't posted... So here is a video of hot air balloons getting ready, and ascending for the 2006 Reno Balloon Race...

Add Your Own Songs to Rock Band - Coming Soon...

Since the beginning of time, man has wanted the ability to add their own songs to Guitar Hero... Harmonix (the guys who split from Activision and created Rock Band) has now stepped up to the plate and giving us that ability... and by "us" I mean "the musicians who own a 360"...

Entitled "The Rock Band Network", you will need:

• a "XNA Creators Club Premium Membership"
• a XBox 360
• Rock Band 2 + the Instruments
• Master track of your song... MUST own recoding and copyright
• a MIDI sequencer/Digital Audio Workstation

So all you indie bands rejoice... Soon the marketplace will be flooded w/ your music, and then you'll become famous, and lose your indie status, and your old fans will hate you, and your new fans will want to change you, and life will never be the same...

Full details HERE...
Thanks to Boing Boing for the heads up, check out their interview HERE...

Get Ready For It...

I consider myself to be rather resourceful and skilled in many different areas... It is my opinion that everyone should have some experience in every area of life... From cutting down trees to socially engineering free pizza, and even fixing simple machines...

I do this b/c I don't like to rely on anything, and this keeps me prepared for the coming apocalypse... An apocalypse that is coming sooner then we thought...

A thick, dark and gooey mass is floating down from the Arctic... This mass is up to 15miles long, and organic... Now I've seen my fair share of disaster movies, and I can tell you EXACTLY what happened...

You see, some sort of government experiment was going down in the Arctic... I imagine it had to do w/ cutting huge sections of ice out of the ice caps... Using said sections as a giant magnifier to reflect the power of the sun, and destroy other nations (for oil or brides or whatever)...

No doubt they cut to much, and unleashed the very thing that killed the dinosaurs... That's right, and Organic Blob of Death (OBD for short).... And now the OBD is free, and hungry, and will stop at nothing to feed on other organic life... meaning us...

I for one can't wait to start an underground army to battle this beast (b/c we all know the army will screw something up and we'll have to save them)... All who are interested send me an email... We'll start figuring out cool names for the first dozen recruits. All the rest just get a number, as you'll be used as fodder to save the human race...

The following is a picture of our enemy... memorize this image, as we'll want no mistakes when we are in the fray...

Thanks to Boing Boing for the heads up on this... You'll be commended after the war...

Thanks to the Anchorage Daily News for doing the first recon on our enemy... We'll name our children after you, in honor of your sacrifice (as it's obvious that they are now all consumed by this horrendous beast)

Things to Say During Sex

Ahhh, I love Venn diagrams... They make life so simple...

The above image is just piece of the whole thing... Get it all here at Boing Boing...

"The Dead Weathers" Interview Themselves

This is hilarious to me... I love when bands don't take themselves to seriously, and can release something like this... I guess the fact that all the members have been in the music game for some time now helps...

I highly recommend you check out Boing Boing for all the info... AND an extra video...

Destinio - Film from S.Dali and W.Disney

In 1945 Salvador Dali and Walt Disney collaborated on this short film called Destino.... The score is classic Disney, while combined w/ Dali's art makes this a hauntingly lonely piece...

Close Up of a Tooth

Way to go BoingBoing, after watching this all I want to do is brush my teeth... Guess I'm off to the store to buy more toothpaste...

Giant Salamander... it's a salamander, but giant...
