For those of you that don’t know I’m due to become a dad in August, I’m just hoping the blighter turns out to be as funny as this guys kid (intentional or otherwise) Statements my offspring has made

Why did no-one think of this before? (more importantly why didn’t I think of this), one of those ideas that seems so obvious after the fact but only after someone else has invented it.

I’m hoping they’ll be standard issue soon.

Folding Plug

Whilst I’m pretty sure everyone will find something to make them laugh on the web-comic Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal, my programming friends especially will like this episode:-

A funny, heart-warming, entertaining film about one mans passion for Morris Dancing. That’s right, Morris Dancing!

After seeing it this weekend, I can easily say this has the be the best “mockumentary” I’ve seen yet, and heartily recommend you visit the website to find out where it’s showing near you, and book tickets now.

Full of British talent (and international, the fantastic Dominique Pinon also has a minor role), great locations, and large amounts of cider, I was happy to join in when the audience spontaneously decided to applaud at the end of the film.

Go see it now.

Well it’s almost that time of year again, so I guess I’ll have another attempt at properly carving a Halloween pumpkin ‘a la’ the fantastic Ray Villafane.

I expect his site is getting loads of traffic as everyone checks his pumpkin carving tutorial nowadays, on how he makes such amazing sculptures out of a simple fruit (ok, vegetable if you prefer, but it has seeds, so technically it’s a fruit!), so if it’s down, try checking back later.

If I manage anything not too terrible I’ll post a few pics.

Been reading a few of the web-comics over at Zuda recently, and impressed with the stories this month I decided to sign up and vote.

The deal is that the beginning of 10 comics is put up every month, and depending on the votes, the winner continues to be serialized.

I quite want The Adventures of Mr. Simian to win, but as it’s ranked number 9 it doesn’t look like it’s going to happen, so I’ve voted for the better of the top few, Bloody Pulp, and just hope it beats out the other main contender Rockstar.

Rockstar is kinda fun and well drawn, but it’s just nowhere near as compelling and interesting as Bloody Pulp, so go on, as a favour to me, click the image below, sign up and vote so I can get to read the rest of the story, you know you want to.

Someone else I meant to post about just a few days after mentioning Yulli, was one of her co-workers from Hot Toys, Kojun

Check out his site and the Hot Toys site for yet more of his amazing work.

Do not adjust your eyes, it actually is a toy and not the real thing!

Produced by a company called Hot Toys and the head sculpted by one of their in-house sculptors called Yulli it’s one of the best sculpt likenesses I’ve seen of any person (and I’ve seen a few pretty damn good ones), I just wish I knew what she’d been drinking to get the sculpting super-powers.
