V for Vendetta is so much better with the ‘cast’ from Seasame Street.
Elmo is scared. Elmo is scared all the time.

I know guys like this, though thankfully I haven’t actually seen this happen.
from the podcast show Geek-Week.net, a bunch of dorks dress up like superheroes and re-enact the Marvel comics series "Secret Wars"

I’m going for “Boo-Yah!”, but only out of love.
It began with Chris Berman’s clever puns, continued on into a Kilborn/Patrick/Mayne fueled golden age, and has now entered into our everyday conversations. Or at least the everyday conversations of people who are too stupid to remember movie quotes.

I used ePhod for a long time, then it starting breaking. Add in the fact that I was listening to more than a few podcasts, and I had to move to iTunes. I am definitely trying this out. Anything to get rid of iTunes is worth the risk of wiping my iPod (which iTunes has done twice).
YamiPod is a freeware application to efficiently manage your iPod under Mac OS X, Windows and Linux. It can be run directly from your iPod and needs no installation.

Those wacky Japanese and their funny books.
This manga series, called Sommelier, stars the youthful Satake, who is not only a brilliant wine taster but also has an encyclopedic knowledge of the world’s premier crus as well as the most obscure appellations, but in between wine tastings solves complicated crimes and always gets the pretty girl, all in a Zen sort of way.

Chris Kattan in a Zombie Western. And the Sky did weep blood. I think we have a new #1 for gayest cowboy movie.
In the film, the duo will play cowboys (hence the "western" part of the description) who, along with an Indian girl, are on the run — in a funny way — from an evil sheriff whose henchmen are all zombies.

I love several web comics, but I don’t see me getting a Cardboard Tube Samurai on my left ass cheak anytime soon.

I have the preview installed, and its not bad. I’ll download the beta when I get home. If they can get a nice extensions collection, I’ll switch back. IE seems to be better at managing memory than Firefox on my machine, though it could be the long list of addon crap I’ve installed.
This evening we released IE7 Beta 2 at http://www.microsoft.com/ie. This release is not the preview or the update to the preview, but the real Beta 2 of IE7 for Windows XP SP2, Windows Server 2003 SP1, and Windows XP 64-bit Edition. Simply: please try it.

Hey, was that an Element?
Because we wanted this slide show to be more than just a chance to ogle ten beautiful cars, we challenged ourselves to walk in other people’s shoes. Forget what we find sexy. What would a Miami Beach plastic surgeon find sexy? What would a hip-hop mogul find sexy?

You know at some point you looked over at your shelf full of Masters of the Universe ‘action figures’, turned of your MOTU DVD (staring Dolph Lundgren), and thought "What kind of crack where they smoking…". Now you can find out.
How did you come up with the name?
At the time I did the first prototype figure, I still didn’t have a name for him. So I brainstormed 40 or 50 names. Among those names were Mighty Man, Megaton Man, Strong Man, Big Man, but the instant I got that name He-Man..
