Another Star Wars post! For more information on how Improv Everywhere pulled off this stunt, see their page.

These little fans cost a bit, so reproducing this trick would get very expensive.  But they do look like cool fans. (found via Unplggd)

I don’t think I’d want to eat those “grape-hutts”.

I’m a bit glad that we are skipping this year’s iPhone upgrade. Though the retnia display, camera with flash, and even faster processor would be a welcome update, I’m still not sold on the other features. FaceTime is not a big selling point, yet. I’m sure as our iPhones get a year older - next year - the new iPhone will be more appealing. Hopefully, next year there won’t be a delay in getting a new iPhone.

An interesting idea for a camera bag. Too bad it only comes in white.

The Cloak Camera Bag: a shoot-through satchel with a zippered bottom for toting SLRs incognito. Your camera never leaves the bag so you’ll never miss a shot again. Pairs well with stick-on moustaches, shoe phones, and crime solving.

The Star Wars cantina scene re-imagined with “David Beckham, Daft Punk, Snoop Dogg, Franz Beckenbauer, Noel Gallagher, Ian Brown, Ciara, Jay Baruchel, DJ Neil Armstrong and some of your dear, old friends for an intergalactic 2010 FIFA World Cup™ viewing party that you’ll never forget”.

IRON BABY

Monday started off well. We had an early morning appointment where we were able to hear the baby’s heartbeat again. It is always a great thing to hear. But after lunch, my noise canceling headphones decided to break on me. I’ve had them for over two years, which I guess is a decent amount of time. But now I can hear all the talking in the office. It makes it a bit more difficult to concentrate.

I’ll need to hop onto Amazon to search for new headphones.

Japan-The Strange Country (English translated ver.) from Kenichi Tanaka on Vimeo.

This Is Informative, You Should Watch It of the Day: Graphic designer Kenichi Tanaka’s animated infographic “Japan — The Strange Country” covers everything you wanted to know about Japan, but were too busy warbling along to the Cowboy Bebop closing credits song to ask.

Update 2: Looks like the video has been taken down. I found it (here)[www.youtube.com/watch though. Update: For some reason, Kenichi had to take down the English version of the video. It’s still available on YouTube here.

Steak and corn for dinner tonight!

To celebrate the nice day outside, I decided to throw a couple of ribeye steaks and corn-on-the-cob on the grill. Farrah is making bibingka as well.

How do you take your steak?
