By the way, Nitrozac and Snaggy are the the creators of the high-tech humor website GeekCulture.com, and the The Joy of Tech comic.

You don’t need to know anything about a game to realize that when there’s two minutes left and the score is really close, and the ball is right on the edge of where the team that is behind needs to put it to get ahead, it’s exciting.

The Super Bowl XLIII on TV, as told by a pilot girl who had never watched a football game; read the full note and laugh here:

By the way, Aviatrix is a very smart woman who regularly writes about her experience flying private airplanes. You can read her thoughts about the landing of the US Airways A320 in the Hudson River here:

To secure your place in the serial production of this buddy, be ready to spent $249 USD and go to this link.

Don’t forget to read the apocalyptical disclaimer at the end of this Disney’s website product page:

WARNING: This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, or birth defects or other reproductive harm.

WALL-E friend, don’t listen those people; they just feel envy because of your sympathy; you are not cancerous at all, pal.

It’s a great adventures movie, shows Indy just as he used to be, and most of the time makes you think you are watching an 80′s production.

And I found this today in Matt’s blog (via the WordPress Dashboard):

Otto Rahn, the original Indiana Jones.

The robot will be produced by Thinkway Toys, under licese of Disney and Pixar.

More than 10 motors, remote control, programmable capabilities, sensors for obstacles, sound and touch, and that cute and tender and friendly look… how could you live without one of these?

If robots will dominate the world anyway, let’s embrace the future!

UPDATE:
Techie Diva has posted a video of a demonstration of the robot at the Maker Faire, so take a look and enjoy!
