Erf erf! More total randomness. Haha! (Told you I’d start blogging more. Now with the comics.. hmm, that’s another story, hehe!) Anyways, here’s some more hyper-Asian-cuteness, this time with the crazy Korean iloveegg, um, character thing. The episodes have been out for a while, though I have to say this is the first time I’m hearing the Egg Song, haha! So there’s the merchandise, the desktop images, the randomness, but nothing tops the Flash animation. The link is courtesy of my great great friend Jackie! She always hooks me up with fun stuff - like the legendary Kenya ‘toon and seriously, how can you top that?
So spare a few minutes and watch the WTFness that is iloveegg. Oodle doodle! 
Whoa, whoa whoa! Saw a similar blog of this on Gizmodo.com and just thought this little guy was pretty dang cool. I love those wacky Japanese toys like Gloomy Bear and Kubricks - I’m a big fan of Knockman stuff - and I gotta say Panda-Z has some pretty neat figures. Plus, it’s a giant hamster ROBOT! How amazingly-awesomely-cool is that! So I’m putting this as an early entry to my “Christmas List,” if anyone is keeping tabs. Muahahaha.
Derrrf! Hehe, more more site re-constructing going on! More updates hopefully sooner than later! More desktops, more blogging, and and more more comics. MORE.. just be patient 
I have been drawing some cartoons, but haven’t had them inked yet - I think I’ll upload some “sketch strips” in the mean time. Err, when I get the time, hehe.
In other news, a Ring 2 teaser is now online, some promising music bio-pics are coming out soon, like Jamie Foxx in Ray and Kevin Spacey in Beyond the Sea (which also stars Kate Bosworth, who has gotten pretty darn hot), talk of the Star Wars Episode III teaser is about, last night’s Smallville had a nice tribute to Christopher Reeve and it had the last appearance of Lois Lane for now (she’s pretty hot too, and is supposedly on the show a couple more times this season). And it’s been two weeks but I’m still recovering from Amazing Spider-Man #512 in where it’s revealed that Norman Osborn and Gwen Stacy did the horizontal tango and had some kids - dude, Straczynski, you’re an awesome writer and all, but did it really have to come to this? Stick to Ultimate Spider-Man for now true believers. Whew! Okay, ciao!
Saw this on Gizmodo before. A group of people from Georgia Tech (and are Ranma 1/2 fans, apparently) have taken the time and effort to install Mac OS X on an Xbox and they even provide detailed instructions for the whole process here. Why whould you want Mac OS on your Xbox? Who the hell knows - though on their site they say “it is a cool thing to do,” haha! I’m assuming this was probably a project and they did acheive the goal they set out to do. I like playing around and modding my Xbox so I respect the effort on trying something new, though the result you get is one pretty darn useless, hella slow Mac. I suppose if you are either a die-hard fan for OS X or you just don’t have the money for a Mac ‘puter (and you want to play Xbox games on the side), go for it. The site does have some neat reference articles and links worth checking out. Yipee!
The new trailer for Robots is now online. Thanks, Darren, for this link.
The film is being produced by Blue Sky Studios and Fox Animation. They did Ice Age and worked on Titan A.E., both films I actually really liked. And if you saw their short “Bunny” (it’s on the Ice Age DVD, kudos to my young nephew, hehe), you know they’re just about up there in the quailty of CGI as Pixar. Robots definitely looks amazing, and so far it could kick the ass of the whole mess of CG films coming out next year like Dreamworks’ Madagascar and Disney’s Valient, which by the way, also has Ewan McGregor voicing the lead - and he’ll be working on Disney’s Gnomeo and Juilet after that, haha!
Anyways, I think Robots has potential, though the trailer isn’t that funny - well it’s ok, I guess, but considering with all the comedians in the cast, it should be much funnier, right? Hehe. It’s really the visuals and robots, of course, that get you interested. The cast sounds pretty good, so hopefully it works out well, if Robin Williams and Mel Brooks can work their magic. So yeah, 2005 is going to be the year of CG films - with probably Pixar’s Cars capping the year - it’s pretty crazy dude. I’m really missing traditional animation, haha! But I guess that’s what anime features (really looking forward to Miyazaki’s version of Howl’s Moving Castle) and Cartoon Network are for. Disney has gotta do a Kim Possible movie - oh yeah, it is my goal to mention Kim Possible in every entry from now on. It’s hella good! Woo woooo!
