Red Dawn v2

I'm not sure if anyone else is as excited about this as I am but, in case you haven't heard, they are re-making Red Dawn which is in my opinion one of the best movies of the 80s. Of course the new version of the movie can't/isn't going to have Patrick Swayze (dead) or Charlie Sheen (insane and washed-up) or evil commie Ruskies. I'm excited to see what they do with it. Some dedicated fans have been filming the filming of the new version. Those videos are worth checking you're really interested.

All I can really say is they better not screw it up.


If you are a fan you might wanna check out what is basically Red Dawn the game.


Homefront (Red Dawn the Game)

Iron Sky: Moon Nazis

I know this movie looks beyond ridiculous but trust me it really is worth watching.


Before you pass judgement, you have to realize that this movie is A PARODY! If you took this movie seriously, you totally missed the point. I can also guarantee that if you go into this movie as a exercise in ridiculousness, you'll enjoy it.


One thing it reminded me of was this game from a few years back but about 10 times more ridiculous.
This was actually a really fun game about an alternate reality, you know where the US never enters WWII and the Nazis invade New York..

Some Bored Drawings That Don't Make Sense

Title of this post pretty much explains it, can't explain these, just drew them.

Map of the Dead

Just something a little fun that my dad sent me a month or so ago.
Check it out to see how you might fare in an a zombie outbreak.


As it turns out my dad (in Anchorage, AK) would be much better off that I would be (in Kirkland, WA).

If you design websites like I do, but hate spending time searching for placeholder images or re-sizing images to fit in your <div>s this is a website you should check out.

Kenny VS Spenny

If you hate TV shows like... I dunno, The Choice, or pretty much everything else on Fox, you should check out this show... even though it's not on the air anymore (an was only on the air in the US for a little while).

"ObamaCare" Bet

A couple of years ago me and my little brother (age 15) set up an impromptu bet about "ObamaCare." The bet is essentially this:


"If 'ObamaCare' ruins the country (I probably should have been more specific) in 10 years I owe him $50"


So Neil, if you are listening, IT'S ON!

Best Android Apps

So, I've been clearing out my Asus Transformer Prime tablet (the best tablet by far, no comparison, I'm looking at you iPad users...) and removing the plethora of useless Amazon Appstore apps of the day when I decided to put together a list of apps that I use the most often.

I'm always looking for more and better apps. I'll add them here as I find them.

A Book You Should Check Out

I picked up this book on impulse (thankfully on Kindle, $12.00) and it turned out to be one of the best reads I've had all year. After only reading the first four chapters I bought a hard copy for my little brother.




http://www.amazon.com/We-Are-Anonymous-LulzSec-Insurgency/dp/0316213543/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1340774048&sr=8-2&keywords=Anaonymous


Worth a try but be warned this book is big, a couple of inches think and $26.00 at Barnes and Nobles.
