My brother is in the market for a new car. He’s been checking some out lately. And in my process of helping him look, I found this video that might help. In fact, it should be required viewing for anyone looking for a car. Hope it helps!

I would like to point out that it is STILL July 4th in New York (though only about 20 minutes left), and STILL lots left to July 4th in L.A. (Los Angeles). So there should be no problem with me posting about July 4th right now. I had to miss the fireworks here in New York, because I was at work til 10, and the fireworks happened at 930. I HEARD the fireworks, but didnt see them. So I had to wait to celebrate. And what better way to celebrate a late night Fourth of July, than with the MUPPETS! Enjoy.

The Great Cookie Debate of ‘08 continues. And it’s defining moment may have happened here, in this clip from last week’s Colbert Report:

Personally, I prefer cupcakes. But a cookie is good enough for me!

Last time I posted, was my own video I made with my plush thing Rufus. I know more people out there make there own plush/plastic thing videos, heck, thats the point of Robot Chicken…

But it looks like Disney is in on the action! (In my mind, they saw my Rufus video’s and got the idea from me…) Officially:

It appears that Disney and Nasa have joined forces for some kind of children’s education series. And they are making toy videos to promote!

From the Orlando Attractions Magazine blog:

As seven, well-trained astronauts begin an important mission to the International Space Station on Saturday, May 31, one toy astronaut, Buzz Lightyear, will begin a journey to help educate children across the country.

The liftoff of space shuttle Discovery kicks off a new education initiative between NASA and Disney Parks. A 12-inch-tall Buzz Lightyear action figure will be carried aboard the shuttle as part of the partnership to encourage students to pursue studies in science, technology and mathematics, one of NASA’s main educational goals.Disney’s Youth Educational Series and NASA have developed an online program known as the Space Ranger Education Series. It includes fun educational games for students, as well as materials for educators to download and integrate into their classroom curriculum.

…

Beginning Saturday, May 31, the online games featuring Buzz Lightyear will be available by visiting NASA’s homepage and clicking on the box for the NASA Kids’ Club at: http://www.nasa.gov

…

Since 1985, NASA’s Toys in Space project has used toys flown aboard the shuttle and the International Space Station to help children learn science and mathematics. Scientific and mathematical principles make these toys work. For example, wind-up toys convert stored potential energy in their springs into kinetic energy as the springs unwind. Gravity often plays an important role in the actions of toys, but how would the same toys function in an environment where the effects of gravity are not felt? Only NASA can provide the settings, so students can discover the answer to questions like these.

“We are thrilled that Buzz’s lifelong dream of space travel finally will come true thanks to NASA,” said Jay Rasulo, chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. “This launch fulfills his dream, and we hope it will inspire countless children to stay interested in science and believe in their own dreams.

“The beginning of Buzz’s space mission coincides with the opening of “Toy Story Mania!,” a new 4-D interactive attraction, on May 31 at Walt Disney World, Fla., and on June 17 at Disneyland Resort, Calif.

I eagerly await the next official NASA/Disney toy video!

And work is underway for the next rufus video. SOON!

In case you missed any of the other installments, I’ve set up a page on the blog that archives the episodes and provides some information about this exciting and popular web series.

Make sure you keep coming back to cooler than aquaman, as this will be the first place to get to watch the next episode.

Here is a FASCINATING Rube Goldberg device. You know, like the game Mousetrap?  This one is really elaborate, and definitely worth looking at.

My only concern is… WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT TO A CREAM EGG??? THE HORROR! SUCH WASTE!

Yesterday, at the NYComicCon, ItsJustSomeRandomGuy premiered the first episode of season two of Marvel/DC. I’ve been following it ever since the first episode. If you are not aware of it, it started off as a simple parody of the mac vs PC commercials. You know those commercials, the "hello. I’m a mac." "and, I’m a PC." You know? Sure. There was a while there that there were a LOT of parodies going around the interweb, and this is one that really caught on. As the popularity grew, it expanded into including many characters and FULL storylines. And now they are BACK.

Watch episode one after the jump…

I must confess my undying fascination for the amazingly creative things people do to show there love for Super Mario Bros. The video game was certainly an important part of my adolescence, and judging by the amount of fan-created work inspired by the game out there on the internets, it must have been important to many others too.

I suppose that means you can expect to see a lot of examples here.

Here is the most recent, for starters.

This smart kid seems to have filled several bottles (can’t be beer… that kid is young… alcohol is for adults… right) with liquid, attached a bell to an RC car, and the rest is magical. Link.
