Nothing malicious — just funny. Just press the “Esc” key to get out.That was great, wasn’t it?
I sure hope the Firebox.com site accepts international credit cards because I am so going to order the remote control K.I.T.T. car as soon as I can. It talks and has that swooshing red sensor lights in front!
It’s hard to believe this film was made in 1944. What a piece of work! So slickly done, it could have been made in 2004 (except for the opening credits and all). This electrifying film was where “prominent jazz musicians of the 1940’s get together for a rare filming of a jam session”. It features ...

Quantum mechanics is a fascinating subject, but this was exactly the kind of drab, boring videos that were shown in class that would put you to sleep in an atomic instant. This is highly recommended viewing if you have trouble sleeping.
If you’re a fan of Family Guy, you’ll bloody love the Seth McFarlane’s YouTube channel Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy. Despite the big name commercial sponsor (yeah, I am suspicious and cynical like that), the Cavalcade seems a promising and funny web series.
You can be sure there is always going to be a Pantone cup to match your coffee or tea (or any other beverage that’s fit to go into a cup).
Let’s get one thing out of the way – this sweet F1 car steering wheel is a replica that is meant to be displayed on a shelf, not mounted in your car. These are handmade steering wheels from the Mclaren Mercedes, Ferrari, BMW and Red Bull Racing teams but they don’t do jack shit. They ...
After a very long hiatus, Random Friday Music returns with Modeselektor. If I had bought the Happy Birthday! album before I did my list of top albums from 2007, I can assure you it would have ended up very high on top of the pile. Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary make great genre-defying electronic music ...
Too bad I only know how to design websites and stuff and not bugs that dump out petroleum after a meal. Next on the list should be bugs that consume plastic and breathe in carbon monoxide and shit out pretty flowers and tasty marshmallows.
Did you know George Lucas and his family made cameos in Revenge of the Sith? Are you at all surprised? And more importantly, do you really care?If you do, you can get the action figures of the Lucas family characters from the Star Wars Shop.
