it's a big noisy robot dog that can carry stuff and not fall over

I think this guy has been on my blog before but now he's doing some more tricks like slipping over on ice and climbing over bricks. also jumping and galloping.

starving animal art

warning, contains photos of malnourished dog, may be disturbing, do not click

i do feel bad for the poor dog but this is powerful art. just imagine that the artist expected that someone would feed the dog. maybe the cleaners would sneak food in. or a concerned gallery visitor. or that animal cruelty authorities would put a stop to it. spoiler: the dog dies.

Caps lock must die part 2

I guess I didn't explain that very well. If you're like me and you hate accidentally hitting caps lock and THEN START tYPING LIKE tHIS then swear and backspace and retype again then you should try my new web site called Caps Lock Must Die (url http://randomibis.com/capslockmustdie/). If you follow the instructions on that page you can map your capslock key to another key such as Ctrl (my preference). It's also handy and ergonomic to have Ctrl right by your little finger I think.

injustice

Carnivale: this is possibly the best tv show ever. and that's including season one of heroes. just watched the final episode. feeling a little stunned.

apparently it was cancelled after two seasons (there were six seasons planned) due to poor ratings. bummer. unsurprisingly internet geeks couldn't bring it back. not even this guy.

opportunistic sponsorship deals

Remember when the ASTRA awards where sponsored by Holden Astra? This intrigued me sufficiently that I've made it a hobby to notice other opportunistic advertising campaigns. I will share them with you:

  • DHL sponsoring Surf Lifesaving. Now take a look at DHL corporate colours. A coincidence?. Altruistic? Opportunistic?

  • I don't have a good link but V energy drink has a show on channel V. (Though arguably they would have anyway hence this one is lame).

Do you know any more?
