Friday Funnies

I know the Friday’s Funnies aren’t always funny, but it’s really a way for me to share links I find interesting, and/or funny. With that in mind, the ThinkBucket is pretty full this week – that’s the Favorites folder I throw my FF links in or blog-worthy links that need some consideration before posting.

First a couple of Star Wars-related links:

Peter David hosts an interesting and lively discussion of Episode III on his review and he excuses some inconsistencies with some hand-waving as the discussion continues in this post.

This is too much. Too Much. This is juuuuust right. Use this knowledge only for good. ;)

Know any Zombies, Werewolves, Vampires or Monstrous Creations who are “between jobs”? Send them here. You may have to help them with their resume though, reanimated fingers aren’t all that dextrous. If you see a job listing for Bum Lee’s Deanimator tell them to stay away. It is a death trap for Zombies, and a serious time sink for humans. Watch the reload time though, it’s a bit slow.

Last week was E3. G4TV covered it like stink on geek. They were kind enough to put copious amounts of video online for our viewing pleasure. Of special notice is the music video they created to promote their coverage. The short televised version plays immediately on their main E3 coverage page, but check out the FULL-LENGTH VIDEO!!!!.

Need advice on anything? Anything at all? Have a half-formed idea for a first date, don’t know poker, want to know how to buy a classic car or repair your credit? Fine tune your brain. This is one of those great sites like HowStuffWorks.comthat covers damn near everything.

Keyboards. If you are a computer junkie like me, you want to advertise that you are either truly awesome by using Das Keyboard with its precision-weighted key springs and is, by the way, completely blank, or you can proclaim your 1337, ahem, elite status by using the mother of all keyboards, the programmable Kinesis Professional with complimentary foot-switch. A FOOT SWITCH!!! The perfect accessory for any writer … well, Terry Goodkind, at least. Actually, after reviewing those pictures, the perfect accessory for a desk jockey is the desk gearshift. Must HAVE IT!!…

ahem… pardon me, I’m better now.

Anyway, DC Comics has a new look. I like the new logo. I think I’ll miss the old four-star bullet though. DC itself has been burning up the charts with its major event (Countdown to Infinite Crisis) leading up it’s “BIGGEST EVENT EVER WHERE EVERYTHING CHANGES AND THE UNIVERSE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN”(tm) event, Infinite Crisis. Those of us who have been anxiously awaiting each yummy morsel of Countdown goodness in the form of The OMAC PROJECT, DAY of VENGEANCE, RANN/THANAGARIAN WAR, and VILLAINS UNITED can get spoiler-riddled coverage and discussion at Crisis Counseling. Ooooooh this is so good!!!! I love DC so much for paying me off for all the years of mediocre stories and characters. First Identity Crisis, now Countdown to Infinite Crisis and the Infinite Crisis this fall… I am such a happy geek.

Well, the ThinkBucket is empty. I’ll let you go now. Have fun and kill Zombies!
