Cool succubus.

Effective artist. I like how he makes the hair from a single, simple black shape and just one long lone strand of hair floating free. Really works.

No baggage challenge

Finally, a non-sissy dustbuster

Dustbuster? No mate, this is a Dyson! Hardest, toughest mofo hand-vacuumer in the wurhld.

Weezer offered $10m to split up

Weezer offered $10m to split up, Guardian article.

A group of frustrated music fans want Weezer to break up, and they're willing to pay them. Claiming the band has never improved on their 1996 album Pinkerton, the organisers of a new campaign hope to raise $10m to convince Weezer to pack it in and stop "disappointing" fans. "This is an abusive relationship," the project's creator said. "It needs to [end]."

Too flippin' funny.

Ganesha in Copenhagen

Our friend Ganesha Games is currently visiting Copenhagen.
He writes these observations:

• All Danish women are cute, long-legged blondes with a bicycle and a miniskirt. For some reason, they all dress in black.
• All Danish speak English, making learning the Danish language pointless. Today I was approached by a bum, told him "sorry I do not speak Danish" and he replied in English " Well sir, I was just asking you for some change to buy a bus ticket".
• There are more bicycles in Copenhagen than mysteries in Nature.

Ouch

Ever photograph a golf ball hit by a master, while it's still inches from your lens? Bet he got a black eye, there's speed in them things.

These were made in metal. Somehow!

Propeller jetpack

A "jetpack" with propellers instead of jets. I guess it's safer. More so, it should be commercially available one day.

I just hope I get one before my neighbors, for I'm sure they'll be noisy!

Panasonic GH2

I said a couple days ago: "(I can't believe they haven't updated the GF1 yet. I hope they'll do something great with it, unlike with the G2, which was a pretty trivial update.)"

 Well, how about that. No GF2 yet, but there's a GH2, and it has just what I was looking for: (at least claims of) super-fast handling and autofocus (they say it's faster than a good DSLR!), and much-improved high-ISO performance.
It would surprise me if these are not real, and if they don't also make it into the next-gen GF camera. Kewl.

Update: Yes, it is super-fast, but it depends on the lens. The 14-140mm lens is designed to be extra fast. The older 20mm lens is much slower in focusing.
