This is so wrong on so many different levels:

It's an "Intelligent Design vs. Evolution" board game. But hey - it's presented by Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron, so it can't be bad, can it?

Although I do have to say it looks very chic and professional, as far as Christian board games go. I wonder if that Christian board game patent from back a while ago...evolved...into this one. (ba-dum, ching)

Just to let both of you regular readers know, I'm switching this to the new Blogger version, so the RSS feed may be weird for a while. If you don't know what an RSS feed is, you should. Go to Bloglines and join the 21st century. ;-)

This is a GREAT resource the next time you're trying to come up with cool colors for a web page / logo / room / whatever:

Kuler

That would have made our life much easier back when we were trying to come up with Rock Berlin colors for our web site - we would have simply picked "Gnarly Brown" and tweaked it a bit. The way we did it took an hour or two of major tweaking.
Whoa. Just whoa.

The Blasphemy Challenge

That's...sad. :-(

Here's an interesting fact to be able to quote in conversations where you want to sound intelligent:

You tend to be more intelligent, more alert, and have a better memory when you're hungry. Weird, yet at the same time it kind of makes sense in a pseudo-evolutionary-psychology sort of way. ;)

Google just got caught red-handed: Somebody from Google pretty much copied an entire announcement page from Yahoo about Internet Explorer 7, replaced "Yahoo" with Google, replaced Yahoo's purple with Google's turquoise, and put it on Google's site. Check it out, it's unbelievably....evil. ;) And stupid.

Doth mine ears just sense the noise of a Google employee getting fired quicker than you can say "Yahoooo-ooooh"?

Google Blatantly Copies Yahoo!? (by Jeremy Zawodny)

Edit: Before you think Yahoo would be above ever doing this, check this page out (seems to be a "rebuttal" by a Google guy)... the plot thickens. ;)

The Wii comes out in Germany today. And guess what?

Yay! After two failed pre-order attempts, my wonderful, beautiful, loving (and very pregnant!) wife stood in front of Saturn, our big electronics store here in Berlin, for a half an hour this morning, together with about 60 other people, then stormed the store once it opened and bought one of only a couple hundred Wiis plus Zelda plus a controller! The Wiis sold out within less than a half hour, and now the Wii is going to be out of stock for another couple of weeks, but thanks to my AWESOME wife, we have one and don't have to worry about whether we'll get one before Christmas! Stephi, you ROCK, babe!

Pictures and videos will surely follow. :)

I find no words to describe my utter amusement.
