These are some of the very best prints and paintings I’ve ever seen.  I want them all, all over my home and office.  Well, except the clown ones.  Please, please, PLEASE hit up the link below to James Hance’s site and order yourself some prints!

We have the first official trailer/sneak peak out of the US version of Top Gear.

In this clip, the boys are trying to recreate the old bootlegging cars of prohibition . . . with limited success.  At first, the lack of an English accent is really jarring.  It’s even more noticeable when all they can do is double over laughing, and you’re left feeling like you’re watching a bunch of yahoos who have somehow gotten their own show.  However, thinking on it more, this might be what British people feel like when they watch their native show!

Below is another clip from an upcoming episode with some Lambos.  Again, the sudden inclusion of sunshine and lack of an English accent is a bit odd.  Then the phrase “it’s like being aroused at gunpoint” is uttered, and all it’s like Jezza is in the car with him.

By now I would expect that most everyone has heard of the antenna issues surrounding the iPhone 4; holding the phone in a normal manner results in your cellular signal going down dramatically. I’m not about to go over all the details again here, as it’s already been covered extensively everywhere else.  I will, however, point out an interesting theory my brother-in-law told me.

If you go to Apple’s website that covers the details of getting your free bumper case or refund, you might notice that this special offer has an expiration date.

Now speaking from a business standpoint, the only reason why you’d stop offering the only thing that’s keeping your device working is because your are about to release a device that doesn’t need it anymore.  Couple that idea with the knowledge that Apple has been hiring antennae specialists like crazy since “antennae-gate” hit the media and it makes you wonder if Cupertino has been working on getting a new hardware revision out to the masses.

No, it’s true!

(Special thanks to Dave2 for showing this first)

There’s also a LSFW song they do here.

If you’ve never heard of The Green Hornet, you aren’t alone.  Though he’s one of the oldest masked heroes he’s never gotten much notoriety by recent generations.  While Batman has made numerous movies, Superman saved us many times, X-Men underwhelmed us, and Spiderman went into the cinematic crapper, Green Hornet has fallen by the wayside.  Even The Phantom (another title many youngsters have never heard of) at least got a short-lived cartoon show, a B-grade movie, and a Syfy miniseries.

The last time Green Hornet got a lot of attention, it was a TV show that ran with limited success in the USA.  Starring Van Williams in the title role, it also featured a little-known actor as his sidekick “Kato”.  The actor’s name was Bruce Lee, and this show would launch him into an all out rise to stardom.

If Apple could do this, I’d actually consider it a civil service!  Then these people could stop trying to talk to me in person or posting to internet forums!

I heard this song on the radio and had to know who it was.  The artist is Brandon Flowers and this is his solo debut song called “Crossfire”.  The album isn’t out until September 4th, but in the meantime you can enjoy the music video . . . and it’s awesome.

In an odd twist, the hero is not the strong man but instead the patient woman.  At first, the song almost seems to completely contradict the setting and pacing of the video until you realize that he’s singing to a woman who is his hero for always coming back for him.  That, and it’s Charlize Freaking Theron (ninja killer).

Just an FYI for any jailbreakers out there; iOS 3.2.2 for your iPad “fixes” the PDF vulnerability in Safari.  As much as I love my iPad, I’m rather annoyed at Apple for putting time and effort into blocking my ability to jailbreak it into a truly wonderful device.

Dear Apple,

Please spend more time on getting iOS4 to me for my iPad so I can multitask and do awesome things, and less time on blocking me from jailbreaking.  Everyone knows you just jailbreak our devices to gain additional functionality that will come with iOS4 anyway!

I love Ghostbusters.  Love everything about them.  I even tolerate the second movie, that’s how much I love the franchise.  That being said, I do believe that I’d be beaten up if I wore this around.  I’m 29 now, and I’d still get beaten up.

Awesome idea, in any case!
