Saw this over on Wired and loved it. It’s a short film by Bruce Branit.

WANTED FOR CRIMES
AGAINST THE UNITED FEDERATION OF CONVENIENCE STORES
Someone in Colorado Springs, Colorado robbed two 7-11 stores with a sharp object being portrayed in the media as a Klingon Bat’leth. The Denver Channel had the first writeup of it that I’ve seen, and has some of the most hilarious blog comments. As one reader in the [...]

Via an old (August08) Wired.com article about the Rock-afire Animatronic Band comes the most disturbing thing I’ve seen on YouTube all evening.
It was only a matter of time before someone sucessfully paired the animatronic pizza bands of the 80s with contemporary R&B songs about… date rape?
Personally I think the sun and moon do a [...]

So, today Blizzard added advertising to the forums.worldofwarcraft.com webpages. Normally I don’t mind dealing with ad revenue on websites, but I’m already paying them $15 a month for their game. Over four years of WoW subscription, three convention tickets, and two copies of the game and two expansions means well over $1000 that they [...]

A couple weekends ago, we had an inter-dojo Taikai tournament for a friendly competition between Portland area kendo clubs, with a few people who travelled all the way from Idaho and Washington. Less than half of the turnout was from Obukan, so we had a lot of guests and a lot of fun. The [...]

Circus Circus
Since midnight of the 13th most of my non-sleeping, non-working hours have gone into playing ‘Wrath of the Lich King’. On last thursday, my impression of the game was somewhat nonplussed, mainly because the quest grind brings out a jealous competition in everyone. Everyone is racing each other for that quest kill, or trying [...]

To my surprise, I apparently booked a room at the ‘Marriott SUITES Anaheim’, not the ‘Marriott Anaheim’. The suites are like a mile south of the convention center. The room is nice enough, and I met up with Thar from the Stonecutters, along with his brother. We were met by the other [...]
