DO you remember before Christmas, when I was entranced by Abbyshot’s fantastic Doctor Who coat?
Oh how I loved it, but could I justify the £200plus price tag to get it made and shipped from Canada?
I was still agonising and weighing it up when I met someone else, completely unexpectedly – his name is Boba and we’re very happy together.
Sorry Abbyshot!
I’M a huge fan of the Anomalies and their rap work on Aliens and Terminator 2, and this video (although not by them) is in the same mould.
Here is Arnie vs the Predator, set to a thumping beat. Altogether now – I’ve got 99 problems but a ruthless alien hunter with futuristic weaponry ain’t one!
The original Tron video game, inside Flynn's arcade
Spooky, isn’t it?
This is the latest image in the drip-drip release to promote Tron Legacy, showing Flynn’s deserted and mothballed arcade and the original Tron arcade game. Thanks to Sci-Fi Mafia for the heads up.
There’s another one after the jump.
THE day has dawned at long last – me, Boba and Christian in the same place again. Check it out!
Me, standing guard over my Boba Fett picture, with the certificate of authenticity
Oh yes!! I picked up my limited edition Christian Waggoner picture of Boba Fett from the Generation Pop gallery today.
It seems like months since I took the potentially marriage jeopardising plunge and bought it, but I was finally able to get it today, wrapped in an ocean of bubblewrap. It was actually six weeks or so – an eternity!
For the record, it is number 50 out of 95 and personally signed by Christian Waggoner himself, as well as coming with a certificate of authenticity.
You’ll have to take my word for the imaginary certificate of awesomeness it also comes with, which automatically means our office is now twinned with Mandalore.
As an endnote, as I was leaving the gallery with my painting, I saw an awesome Alex Ross Batman painting which made me stop, but I think Pam really would divorce me if I bought that.

THIS is genius – and a little worrying – as Dave and Brian lay out what it is to be a dork in The Dork Anthem.
The duo describe themselves on their website as musical comedians who ‘consistently deliver a mix of high energy mix of acoustic comedy rock and stand up’. I especially enjoyed the use of consistently in that sentence, and you can check out their website here.
As for dork, I prefer the word geek, but am convinced the Dork Knights (see what I did there? Jeez, I am a dork) have been following me around for weeks as they gather the lyrics for the song.
How much of this do you recognise in yourself?
ARTHUR C Clarke said that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
In that case, let me take you behind the Wizard’s curtain (which sounds rude, now I read it back) to watch a fascinating video on Skinput.
Basically it uses the acoustic properties created by tapping different parts of your arm (which have different bone and muscle density) to control tech. This is awesome stuff. Thanks to @digidickinson and the Huffington Post for the heads up.
