Did you see this cool site? I always knew Jon Arbuckle was crazy, but I didn’t know to what sad effect:

Is there a cat here
or have we been seeing Jon’s
mental delusions?

1. What is that open hand thumb to his head thing that Simon Cowell is doing this season?
2. Mr. Men, especially Mr. Tickle, were the books we always wanted to get as elementary students. Now Cartoon Network has an animated version of it.
   
3. Is it bad that I had no inclination to get Smash Brothers Brawl until I saw Link take on Samus take on Snake? I am, in fact, a NERD!

I had heard rumors, now it’s official. There will be a LEGO MMO and the stuff that your character creates you will be able to purchase from the LEGO Store.

Or at least Time’s choice of Man of the Year:
(And Pakistan tried to block YouTube and shut down Google YouTube for two hours. Like Starbucks closing nationwide for customer service training.)

The murders of outspoken journalists go unsolved, independent media outlets have been shut and police have attacked opposition protesters, said the report.

It also said “arbitrary” laws were curbing the right to express opinion and silencing NGOs deemed to be a threat by the authorities.

The report comes ahead of Russian’s presidential elections on 2 March.

The director of Amnesty International UK, Kate Allen, said: “The space for freedom of speech is shrinking alarmingly in Russia and it’s now imperative that the Russian authorities reverse this trend.”

She said dissent could be a matter of life or death in the case of outspoken journalists like Anna Politkovskaya, who was shot dead in Moscow two years ago.

The 52-page Freedom Limited report warned any opposition demonstrations could suffer heavy clampdowns in the coming days, as Amnesty said had happened in the run-up to past elections.

First Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, whom President Putin has named his favoured successor, is expected to be elected in this Sunday’s poll.

Clone Wars CGI

Vader is Anti-cellphone.

The next image displayed is out a viewport. A giant worm is weaving its way through the depths of space. A breached space station is left in its wake.

Four asteroids begin to move erratically. They break into what seems to be a formation of unnatural motion. One of the asteroids spouts a volcano of plasma at the ship. The camera shifts and a Mon Calamari arm pushes it back. Sounds of combat can be heard but all that can be seen is the back of a freighter co-pilot chair. The camera turns off.

When the footage continues, a planet’s continent is engulfed in flames and ash. At the center is a crater a couple of kilometers wide. The space station is no longer in orbit.

Tidal waves begin at the impact. The slow moving waves gain momentum. The other continent will soon be under water. The camera drifts back from the viewport. Resting his head and right arm on the window is a Mon Calamari lost in thought, pulling in gingerly a left arm in a sling. He shakes his head.

Today we got on the Virtual Console Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine. (Same game as Dr. Mario - just a longer title.)

Where Dr. Robotnik Succeeds

1. Get four connecting beans and send refugee beans to your opponent
2. Faster action - quick menu system helps you play over and over again - “Just one more…”
3. Not throwing pills at a problem.

Where Robotnik dies

1. There’s a storyline, but I don’t get quite how we’re saving the beans by aligning them
2. Isn’t this guy called Dr. Eggman?
3. I can only type the title once before my hand cramps up

If you like puzzle games, this is a fun one.
