Yet more zombie stuff
I swear I think I’m going to have to change the title of this blog to “Bring Out Your Dead” given all the zombie posts. But this one was too funny not to include.
I give you: SHAUN OF THE DEAD!

Cool CSS Trick
The amount of cool stuff that you can do with clever use of CSS is just amazing. Take a look at a neat CSS hack for applying drop shadows to nearly any box or graphic.
According to BoingBoing and the Internet Archive the copyright on the original Night of the Living Dead has expired, and the whole freaking movie is available for download.
Now my question is: how can this POSSIBLY be in the public domain? It was made in 1968. Did the copyright owner release it? Anyone have any idea?
Well, it’s a huge crime that I haven’t gotten to see the movie yet, being the horror AND zombie fan that I am. For those that also have yet to see the shuffling horrors of a good zombie film lately, here’s some Zombie Pinups to keep you entertained.
Got a chance to see Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind this weekend, and the movie itself is brilliant. Absolutely wonderful…Kaufman writes such good scripts, and Winslet and Carrey are just perfect. I just gotta say, Kate Winslet is stunning, even in a severely damaged character.
BUT
Random person behind me at the Carolina: That moment in the movie…you know, the one that wasn’t funny? The poignant one? Next time that comes around in a film, SHUT UP! Thanks.

Rummy caught lying
Or perhaps he simply misremembered…in any case, MoveOn.org has a great clip of Rumsfield being taken to task on Face the Nation. Basically, he claims that he never said that Saddam was an “imminent threat” to the US, and the hosts then take great joy in throwing quotes at him where he said effectively that. Really great to see someone calling the Bush cartel on their lies.

Exactly!

Mmm…4th generation
Appleinsider just published this story on the possible upcoming 4th generation iPod. Short list of coolness:
- 5o gig hard drive
- COLOR screen, with possible MPG or Quicktime capabilities, and the ability to view JPG’s
- a video jack to connect to TV (not sure why we’d need this, but…)
Tech always gets better/cheaper if you wait, but this may push my technolust into hyperdrive. Color, MPG playback, JPG viewing, and a 5o gig hardrive in the iPod formfactor? Sign me up.
