Phone Fingers



Tired of smudging your ipod touch, screen? Sick of making your PDA look like a crime scene? Phone Fingers are latex gloves which you roll onto your fingers when using your ipod, PDA or other device with a touch screen.

"This is probably the funniest accessory for touch screen enabled devices available!
Our Phone Fingers are made to prevent smudges and fingerprints. With Phone Fingers you won't have to clean your touch screen all the time and it's an eye catcher too."

Phone Fingers sell for around EUR 6.90 for 25 pieces (5 bags) of varying size.

What's the world coming to? What's next? Actually buying software and movies?! :P

Marvan Atapattu - Muppets

Atapattu's take on why the Sri Lankan team to Oz is just so so bad:



While this take on Sri Lankan cricket may sound extreme, it unfortunately is more plausable than you think. Corruption is rife in Sri Lanka and the selection of the cricket team is a heavily political process. Hopefully this will stir things up for the better for the Sri Lankan team in future.

BSG: Razor





"In the crucible of war, A soldier must let hesitation and doubts burn away, until all that remains is the honed edge of a living human weapon — what Colonial veterans call "a razor." But an edge so fine cuts in more than one direction. It can cleave an enemy to pieces … or it can carve away a person's soul." - scifi.com

The special two-hour episode "Razor", kicks off somewhere between seasons 2 and 3. It focuses on Lee Adama's first mission as the commander of the battlestar Peagasus, with flash backs on how Admiral Helena Cain and the crew of the Peagasus carried out many brutalities to stay alive. The episode has a dark brooding feel to it as it themes on the casualties of war and sacrifices made for the greater good.

There are cameos from the Cylons of the original BSG (which is cheesy goodness) as well as details on the creation of the original Cylon-Human hybrid. It also delves into why there is a tortured number 6 ("Caprica") in the brig. There are plenty of dog fights and emotive moments and Starbuck also makes a comeback so it is all good! :)

Oh yes.... and there is a prophecy thrown in for good measure as well! Woohoo!

All in all, a worthwhile watch for any BSG fan! :)

Pushing Daisies

Annie and I have started watching Pushing Daisies, staring Chi McBride (who's funny as!), Lee Pace and Anna Friel. It's a somewhat gothic comedy about a Ned, a pie maker (who works @ the Pie Hole - I told you it was funny!), who can bring back the dead by simply touching them. There are a few disclaimers though: If he ever touches someone he has resurrected they will die again, but this time he won't be able to bring them back. Also if the resurrected person lives for more than a minute, someone else in the vicinity takes his place and promptly drops dead.

As with any gift the protagonist uses his gift to make himself some dough. He teams up with a detective to solve crimes by bringing back to life any deceased victims and asking them what happened! They then simply collect the reward and go on with their merry lives.

Each episode it narrated (by a narrator?!?) and has a somewhat Tim Burtonesque feel to it. If I had to compare it to something I would say it was a combination of 6 Feet Under and Sleepy Hollow - dark, yet funny in places while taking a rather interesting look at life and death.

I know. Sounds a bit macabre and I guess it is somewhat... but it's also very funny, if you like dark comedies!
