WooMe?
I signed up for WooMe based on the TechCrunch invite giveaway, and I kind of have no idea what it is. It looks like an online speed-dating thing via voice/cam, but who knows. Eh, I’ll check it out a bit more later. Link (woome.com)

“i need this otherwise my collection isn’t complete!” is a favorite of mine. also: “i’ll die of thirst if i don’t buy this!” (pertaining to a bottle of disaronno).

New Sci-Fi Channel Series: Tin Man →
A reimagining of the wizard of oz, starting December 2nd. It looks really interesting, although the website is kind of schticky. I enjoy anything Zooey Deschanel is in though, so I’m keeping my eyes peeled.
disappearing staircase
rather ingenious design, except it’s missing a railing. i wonder how quickly those stairs shoot in/out too.. it would suck if someone pressed the button (or whatever activates it) while you were on the stairs. maybe there’d be a proximity sensor to prevent that though. if they could make the stairs less conspicuous too, that would be sweet. i’m imagining an entirely empty room...

i was lamenting the fact that i don’t have frutiger installed on this PC while i was editing my resumé yesterday, and got to thinking about how i need to expand my typographical horizons. here’s the first step.

a new nasal spray designed to treat tuberculosis apparently has a side effect of reducing the symptoms of chronic social phobias. sweet.
A breakfast burrito with 60g of fat :o →
ok, -1 for being a bit unhealthy, but ++++++1 for the writer getting the phrase “food porn” into there.
8-Minute Assassin's Creed Gameplay Video →
it’s shaping up to be a fun game. the combat part was a little slow, to be honest, but the acrobatics were quite entertaining to watch. i’m probably going to purchase a console soon, and well, i think AC might be one of the factors in that determination…
*SPOILER* These are the ending credits of "Portal" →
if you NEVER ever intend to play “Portal,” then click this link. otherwise, *IGNORE IT* — it’s the ending credits video from the game, with the BRILLIANT song “still alive” by jonathan coulton.
Weighted Companion Cube Toy Confirmed by Valve →
i’m so in love. i hope it can deflect energy balls and hold down buttons, just like the real thing “… anyway, this cake is great — it’s so delicious and moist..”

Wow. I’m flabbergasted (and am knashing my teeth a bit). I’ll buy Orange Box later today and just pretend I never heard this info.

For some reason or another, I found this post extremely captivating. Maybe I need to clear out my pockets more (or carry a handgun? wtf?).
The 6 Most Terrifying Foods in the World →
OK, let me preface this link by saying I really, really REALLY like food. Also, nothing on the other side of this link has made me lose my appetite. But I think it’s crazy the #1 dish is a Filipino dish and is as shocking as it is. I texted my mom and asked her if I’d ever eaten it in my childhood, but she reaffirmed that I hadn’t. Whew. If you’d like a captivating...
Gyabo!
I spent a good part of this weekend watching the live-action predecessor to what may be my favorite anime series of all time: Nodame Cantabile. In short, it largely surpassed my expectations and my fond memories of its anime-counterpart. Hence I’ve ordered the DVD box set online — which, un/fortunately is a bootleg, but that was the only way of getting English subtitles and a region-free...
An Event Apart: Day 2
Annnnnd here’s the schedule again. The second day was a lot more straightforward. Maybe it’s because I’m feeling better today and got more sleep; or, maybe it’s because today started off with Doug Bowman speaking (hint: it’s the latter). The swag was Adobe stickers and a copy of Adobe Web Design Premium (30-day trial, Mac). What I’m taking away with me from...
An Event Apart: Day 1
Here’s the schedule. (aneventapart.com)p>So far there have been three amazing presentations by Eric Meyer (CSS), Jason Santa Maria (Design) and Jeffrey Zeldman (UI). I feel like such an amateur at this conference because everyone else seems to be a professional web designer. I’m a web developer right now, but someday I’ll live the dream — to be working at my own pace,...

Too much TV?
I think for the first time in a long time, I may be watching/following way too many shows. Here’s the tally so far: Family Guy How I Met Your Mother Heroes Dexter Beauty and the Geek The IT Crowd Robot Chicken Bleach (Anime) Naruto Shippuuden (Anime) Seirei no Moribito (Anime) Lucky Star Genshiken Darker than Black Meh, I’m a little behind too. Must. Catch. Up.
