Late night talk show wizard, Conan O’Brien, and his long-time boy-toy, Andy Richter, recently partook in a live-action game of the hit mobile video game, Angry Birds. A Scandinavian-laden pre-amble built up to Conan and Andy firing giant-sized blow up bird balloons an unsuspecting, and poorly built, Ikea furniture that was protecting an array of pig-faced balloons. The official video on the Team Coco website has not worked, but a kind soul uploaded the video to YouTube.
Just yesterday, “Art Project, powere by Google” was released to the public. This Google project takes the Google Street View technology and applies it to top museums around the globe – MoMA (New York), National Gallery (UK), and Palace of Versailles (France) just to name a few! The project is still in its infancy, but provides full-walkthroughs of individual galleries and close-ups of some truly amazing artwork. Copyrights are respected by the Google Art Project and, as such, some works are blurred out and sections of galleries inaccessible – hopefully this will change in the near future.
As someone that enjoys checking out famous galleries whenever in a new city, I think this is an amazing technology that makes the best art in the world accessible to anyone with a computer and Internet connection.
Okay, so there is a good reason why I included the old beaver teeth around the word movie in the title of this post – these are obviously not real movie trailers. Rather, these are re-cut clips of Seinfeld set to dramatic music in typical movie trailer style. Time to stop yammering and on with the clips!
Well, another Christmas has come and gone. I trust that everyone has had a great holiday season so far and that 2011 will prove to be a prosperous year. Upon returning home to London after being with family for a few days I realized that my girlfriend and I have quite the GeekGold Christmas tree in our apartment.
Yes, that is an Ewok on the top of our tree! Couple that with the baby Yoda and Chewy I gifted her (she is quite the Star Wars geek) we now have a solid collection of small plush Star Wars characters. Now, my question is, how geeky has your holiday season been?
