The Human Space Invaders

Pretty cool. Can't wait to see Centipede and Pac Man.

"Idol" Nonsense

Strange idol happenings...So yesterday, I was at Borders bookstore, where I spied a new Billy Idol Release: The Very Best of Billy Idol - Idolize Yourself. This sparked a bit of nostalgia for me, since I art directed the last Greatest Hits album which was designed by Rob Fisher, who is best known for his Nirvana: Nevermind album art that sold bazillions. Anyway, I stopped and took a minute to admire the new packaging created by famouso artiste, Shepard Fairey.

Fast Forward to this morning.

I had a doctor appt. and as I was waiting for my appointment, scanned an old issue of MOJO magazine, that covered late 70s Punk, and early 80s New Wave, which included...Billy Idol of course along with Generation X. I looked at photos of the young Idol as he looked during the Gen X days.

After the appt., I had to quickly rush to catch a plane to SF. Low and behold in the airplane lobby is none other than... who else? BILLY IDOL himself. Our flight had been delayed - I guess Mr. Idol was on his way to give a concert tonight at the Fillmore. WEIRD.

I want one of these...

This concept product from Glueglue Design is an "Old School" cane used to stamp out those "dissin'" whippersnappers, with their "rap music and hepcat attitudes." The end of the cane has a self-inking stamp that simply says the word RESPECT. Next time a baggy pants fool gives you his "YO! YO! YO!" attitude, and waves his fake mtv gangsta signs, stamp him in the head with this one!

Wow! I could've played a V-8!

Cheeto Chuck Norris

So apparently someone just bought a Cheeto shaped like Chuck Norris for $16 bucks off of Ebay. The description was something along the lines of it "looking like Chuck with his fists up, completing a round-house kick." A year ago, someone bought a Jesus-shaped Cheeto or "Cheesus" for $1000.It makes me want to look at every single Cheeto I eat in the future for fun and profit.

Ahhhh!!! Geek Out!

My inner geek is coming out as I have stumbled upon pics of Zachary "Sylar" Quinto's role as Mr. Spock. Of course my expectations are nil for the film, since I am a fan of the OG series, and have been less than enthusiastic of any endeavor since. Sylar was a great choice for playing the young Spock - as you can see, he does look a lot like Nimoy.
