(*Man, how did I become such a nerd??)

Looks like I'm about two years late discovering this, but I am loving Flying Squid Studios' The Skeletor Show. You can watch all episodes at the latter; here's the trailer (probably NSFW due to strong language):

I must admit that while I remember He-Man, it was my brother who really watched the show growing up (though I remember making Prince Adam marry a Barbie doll in kindergarten once). Good news is, like Sealab 2021, you don't have to be familiar with the original cartoon for this parody to make you chuckle.

Seriously.

And since Flickr now supports video, it almost seems wrong not to post a video of my cat. After all, this is the internet.

Be sure to zoom-in for a better look.

Heather, you were my champion today: thank you for almost literally running the C'ville Ten Miler with me on your shoulders. I couldn't have made it without you.

Fania, you absofuckinglutely rock for both training and smoking the course today. Congratulations on your first!

I love you both.

And, we missed you at Aqui es Mexico, Baney: horchata (and the rest of their yummy food) tastes good!

Love,

m.

Okay, you got me: I didn't really soil myself, but this is mind-blowing. I'm serious. Watch this video:

Direct Note Access: the new Melodyne dimension

MIDI functionality for real audio!! So freakin' amazing. How much? About $370 for the good stuff. [Thanks, G.]

Who knew?

Conan O'Brien, E.T. and Vigo the Carpathian (final scene from Ghostbusters II) all in one photograph. It's like planets have aligned. (More photography from Joel Aron here.)

I don't have cable and even if I did, I probably wouldn't seek out Larry King Live. Why not? Mostly because I think his show is tabloid fodder held up by the same suspenders that are somehow supposed to keep the older demographic captivated (apparently CNN thinks so: this episode was peppered with advertisements for Alzheimer's medications, life insurance and this thing) and, more generally, because Larry King is kind of an ass and I don't like being yelled at. Regardless, stumbling on this episode with Jon Stewart was a nice surprise. While he is hardly ever unfunny, it is nice to hear Mr. Stewart's slightly more serious opinions of things; namely, the writer's strike, New York Times v. John McCain, "media" and the convoluted nature of either side of partisan politics. As interesting, Mr. King was practically silent the whole interview. (Not really sure why, just surprised me.)
