Well, it's been a while since I've posted. I've been collecting a pile of papers with little notes on them, just waiting to be "published" as it were. Let me see if I can get through some, or if I'm just gonna deviate like I always do...
The voice of Yakko appears to be doing Mini-Wheat commercials now. I originally heard the commercial and was wondering why Yakko was claiming to taste like strawberries. O_o
I've been two ads recently - one for Nuclear Energy and one for Biodiesels/Ethanol, and I was thinking... are these commercials out there because they're competing/fighting for our energy dollar? The nuclear one focuses on safety while the Biodiesel one focuses on the renewable sources that we can grow in Canada. Obviously, both have their positives and negatives.
Speaking of commercials, I heard the Febreze ad that claims it "kills up to 99.9% of germs". Do you think this "claim" is because they can't prove that their product actually can't kill everything, to ensure that they can't be sued for claiming it is akin to an alcoholic disinfectant?
Speaking of the environment - I never touched on the Oscars. Don't you think it's grea that Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth won for Best Documentary? I have a little scrap of paper here that simply reads "Could you imagine what the world would be like, had Al Gore won?" That is a real tricky question to think about. I wonder if we'd be in the war. I wonder if the environment would be the primary focus of the government. I wonder...
(BTW, I think The Oscars website is poorly designed if it took me half-a-minute to find the "see who won" link.)
Apparently my Uncle's Cubes have a TV Production Company within...
Huh, the game "Gods" which came out on the Commodore Amiga has been released on tons of video game platforms, including the GBA. I'd be tempted to pick that up, but I think it might have never actually been released. That'll be a rarity to search for...
I went looking for the "Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End" trailer, only to discover the trailer isn't out yet... though, there's a "Teaser" Trailer out there, as well as a trailer for the latest Harry Potter movie...
Wow, there are some neat run-and-jump games out there. Kotaku linked to Stage 2 Demo of "Fancy Pants Adventure". Neat animation and a really slick, easy to control character. Cool! :D
Some guy visited Nintendo's original building, where they made cards. Actually, kinda snuck in through the back door, and surprised the lady there. She was rather poilte in showing the intruder the history of the cards...
You may not have heard of Mega64 before, but I just had to show this for the gamer geek in me.

There are some other inconvenient truths out there: global warming being indicated now on Mars (measured temperatures starting back in the 1970's are up, and the ice caps are retreating), Pluto (OK, only 2 degrees on average, from -225 to -223, break out the bathing suits...) and Jupiter (a second Great Red Spot that arose in the past 5 years or so, known as Junior, is being blamed on Jupiter's global warming). Tracking between warming on Earth and solar activity is very close, and the Sun is in the middle of a very active cycle that is expected to last until about 2040-2050. Back a few hundred years ago when the Thames River froze to the riverbed, sunspot activity virtually ceased.
Might we be part of the problem? Yes, but how much?
