Goofy and Pluto - - what's the deal with THAT?
OK, here are two Disney Dogs, unequal in every way.
One is Mickey & Donald's "friend", wears clothes, hat, gloves, and
can SPEAK, while the other is just Mickey's PET!
There are several theories about this, my fave being that Goofy sold
Pluto into slavery in exchange for the power of human speech!

Cell Phones vs Wrist Watches 2011
who would have guessed way back in the 1970's that we'd be not only carrying our phones
in our pockets, but would also be using them as cameras and typewriters! And talk about your 'unintended consequences' - sales of watches have declined sharply (as have typewriters!) since the advent of the mobile phone.
Wondering why someone never decided to put a phone in a camera, which might have made
more sense. Time to go shovel some coal into my old antique PC...yep, i remember when the internet was in Black & White!
Happy New Year, Ya'll.

New Rule: with Bill Maher
New Rule: The next rich person who publicly complains about being vilified by the Obama administration must be publicly vilified by the Obama administration. It's so hard for one person to tell another person what constitutes being "rich", or what tax rate is "too much." But I've done some math that indicates that, considering the hole this country is in, if you are earning more than a million dollars a year and are complaining about a 3.6% tax increase, then you are by definition a greedy asshole.

The world’s smallest stop-motion animation character: Dot.
Professor Fletcher’s invention of the CellScope, which is a Nokia device with a microscope attachment, was the inspiration for a teeny-tiny film created by Sumo Science at Aardman. It stars a 9mm girl called Dot as she struggles through a microscopic world. All the minuscule detail was shot using CellScope technology and a Nokia N8, with its 12 megapixel camera and Carl Zeiss optics. SEE THE awesome VIDEO!
and the MAKING of it.(thanks, Nokia!)
