actres in bikini

Because I get excited about shit like this:

R2D2 DVD/CD Player and Wireless Webcam (two separate things)

and this

Geek Scooter (yes you can ride it, how else could you get a mobile VoIP hot spot?)

I also never posted this. If your into RPG's or D&D then peep it. Actually, peep it even if you aren't, it's funny.

New Mix is coming out, it's called "Ade at a Hipster Dance Party" and it won't disappoint. If you email me, I will send you a copy. Take a listen to the first track...

Loyal fans of my blog will remember a post I did on Japanese Exoskeletons (actually it was the 2nd post ever). Here is the ad for this thing (notice the pose on this dude, advertising your Suit Wearing Model as some type of bad ass Ultraman is truly the sh!t) and a link to an article about defense contractor Raytheon's Suit of armor being touted as a pre-cursor to iron man type suits. Wasn't that movie about a bunch of crazy ass dudes who wanted to take over the world using a bunch of these? I guess we better be the first to make them then!

A phenomenon noticed by a friend at about 3am at a Chinese restaurant, on some girl who looked like she was about to pass out in it (imagine a really drunk, skinny Chinese girl who might have actually sweat in this thing, not nearly as debonnaire as the model above). It was seriously one of the most ridiculous pieces of clothing I have ever seen, unless your from the future and then of course it's called a tunic.

Also found this, pretty funny.

This shit is hilarious. I mean, if you know me you know I like Japanese culture, but these people sometimes get a little ahead of themselves in their attempts to live in the future, apparently a future where blackface is cool. These guys above basically believe you can't be in a soul band without being black, apparently it's fine if your speaking Japanese or english with thick Japanese accents, but you gotta be black. The funny thing is the group seems to be doing this as some type of tribute action to soul music and its African American roots, is this ok then?

The Radar piece I posted below (scanned from the mag; sorry Radar but I looked on your site and couldn't find this anywhere to link to it) has...I don't know what going on in it, but that girl in the lower left corner looks like Jughead from the old archie comics. The thing is backface wouldn't be so offensive if the actions that invariably follow it were not idiotic and ridiculous. Actors use make-up to portray themselves differently in order to create a mood for the audience. In that movie Soul Man from the 80's the make-up was used to set a situation and was not seen as terrible because the character was not using it to degrade the entire African American race. Just the same I can't automatically say that these Gyaru girls are guilty of anything really (although the whole contrast between the bronze and white is kind of weird and ghostly), but why even go there?

Haters of Apple, HTC's got your back...
