Tiny Toons to DVD

Mark July 29th on your calendar.  That’s the day the first set of “Tiny Toon Adventures” and “Freakazoid” DVDs come to your home theather. Whoo-hoo! (Official press release for the sets is at the link. TTA contains first 35 episodes.)

Jon and Kate, Meet Shark

This week, Jon traveled to California to get a hair transplant.  Jon and Kate Plus Eight has officially Jumped the Shark.  It’s not about the cute family in Pennsylvania trying to live life with the pressure of eight kids.  It’s now about the celebrity.  I guess it’s inevitable with any reality show, should it last long enough.

THE SHIELD in September

THE SHIELD’s website makes it official: The final season of television’s finest hour begins September 2nd. Someone ought to develop an iPhone widget to count this date down.

iPhone 2.0

Pics of the new iPhone 3G

Video chat is coming.  Possibly iChat for Windows, too?  Interesting.  Can’t wait for the Stevenote!

Or, it could be another fake.

Ice Cube Maker

Tetris Ice Cube Maker.  Need I say more?

I Think Danny Can Dance

In watching bits and pieces of last season’s SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE on MTV, I stumbled across this piece of genius.

That’s Danny Tidwell’s solo in the finale.  I lost track of the number of spins in the middle of it after 20.  I’m sure it hit at least two dozen.

New season starts Thursday.

Kentucky Derby

Kentucky Derby thought: Imagine how awkward the trophy presentation would have been had the winning horse broken both ankles and been euthanized?

The Shield

You’ve gotta be kidding me:  The Shield: Coming This Fall

We have to wait another five or six months for the final season of the best show on television?!?  They finished filming it in December.  What’s taking so long?!?

Looking for a Wii?

Still looking to get your hands on a Nintendo Wii?  Looks like the stores have been stocking up for Sunday’s release of MarioKart Wii. Toys R Us is taking pre-orders now.  Circuit City is forcing an ugly expensive bundle down your throat.  I’m sure others will follow.

Coolest thing of the day

Coolest thing you’ll see/hear this week:

Boy, RC Car Recreate Super Mario Bros. Theme

Twitter is down

Twitter is down.  My first reaction?  I should Twitter that.  And so the snake eats the tail.

Korean Drummer Steals The Show

Your weekend Video of Zen: Keep your eye on the drummer.

Pay particular attention to the hilarious head-banging portion around the 3:00 mark.

Flash Game of the Day

The World’s Hardest Game: Move the red box, avoid the blue circles, pick up the yellow circles, return to green blocks.  Arrow keys are your controllers.  I died 54 times in the first six levels.  It’s insane, but it also gives you a great feeling of accomplishment every time you pass a level.

Smurfy Classical

You know what my favorite part of this Smurfs video excerpt is?  The use of Franz Liszt’s Totentanz music starting a few seconds in.  It’s my favorite piece of classical music.
