Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Okay, I said that I wasn’t going to see this movie. But I was bored, so I went and saw it anyway.

It turned out to not be as bad as I thought it would be. Not the best Star Wars movie, but better than The Star Wars Holiday Special.

I liked the antics of the stupid battle droids. I liked the new character, Ahsoka Tano. She was a good sidekick to Anakin Skywalker. And Jabba's son did not bother me. But, two hours to rescue the kid? This would have been better as a one hour TV episode.

Also, I really don't care what Anakin is up to, since we know he turns into Darth Vader. How about some movies about the events that happen after Return of the Jedi?

So, save your money. Don’t bother with this movie.

The Next Numa Numa Video?

This video gets my vote for the next Numa Numa song. The song is "Bahama" by the Iceland singer Ingó og Veðurguðirnir. Here is Kristrún lip singing and Gagga dancing to the song. They are from Iceland. It's a catchy song.

From: rak126

Death Race

I saw the Death Race movie the other day.

Will you like the movie?

- Did you see the original movie, Death Race 2000?

- Did you like the main character, David Carradine, in Death Race 2000?

- Did you like Tyrese Gibson's character in 2 Fast 2 Furious?

- Did you like Joan Allen’s character in The Borne Supremacy?

- Did you like Jason Statham in the Transporter movies?

- Do you like movies of car races, and gun battles?

Then you will like this movie. It has all of that in it. And explosions, too.

The plot is basic. In the future, they have a death race in a prison. If you survive, and win, five races, you win your freedom. The race is televised in the Internet for profit, so as you can guess, people die in the race off of the time.

Hence, they need a new Frankenstein when the old one (voiced by David Carradine) is killed in a race at the beginning of the film. So they set up as Jensen Ames (Jason Statham), a down on his luck former race car driver, for murder, and get him transferred to the prison. He is told to race as the Frankenstein if he ever wants to see his little girl again.

It’s not a very serious movie, but neither was the original movie, Death Race 2000. It’s a fun movie to watch.

Iceland's Current Top 20 Popular Songs

The Olympics are now over. I thought I would compile a few more lists of the top 20 hit songs around the world. Yesterday was Mexico; today is Iceland. Here is the Iceland Top 20 list for the week ending August 23, 2008. I found the list at: www.tonlist.is.

I only know English. It was hard to find Icelandic videos, since I do not know the language. Where I could not find a video for the song, I substituted another song from the band, and included a clip from the song.

Soulcalibur Legends

I picked up Soulcalibur Legends for the Wii the other day. It's okay, but not as good as the rest of the series. But, at least I get to swing the Wii Controller around to fight! I hope that they release Soulcalibur IV for the Wii later this year.

I found a walkthrough for the game. If I get stuck, I will use it.

Soulcalibur Legends on the Nintendo Wii: Walkthrough, Part 1

This edition of the Soulcalibur Legends walkthrough will focus on getting you through the beginning aspects of the game. After a few minutes of play time, you will soon defeat your first boss and be that much closer to the end.

Another Way to Use Your Wii Remote Controller

markinraleigh has attached his Wii Mote to a spring horse. I would try this myself, but I would probably hurt myself trying to play the Wii while on a spring horse! :)

I modified a glovepie script to tweak the amount that we would have to lean side to side or forward/back. I will post the script in next day or so for those who have requested it.

Due to the overwhelming popularity of this video, I have created the following site to answer questions or dispel myths, please go to www.wiimotehorse.tumblr.com



One of my boys playing need for speed using a spring horse, with a wii mote attached to it, as a controller.

A "Star Wars" Movie I Don’t Want to See

I usually look forward to Science Fiction movie sequels, even if they get bad reviews. But after what George Lucas has done the Star Wars in the past, I am listening to the bad reviews this time around, and I think I will skip watching “Clone Wars.”

I never liked the original movie “Star Wars” renamed “Episode IV - A New Hope;” why not call it episode 1 of the original trilogy? And why even make the prequel trilogy? Once we were given the characters in the first three movies, I wanted to see more movies about them.

I liked the Timothy Zahn books in the Thrawn trilogy and the subsequent Star Wars books. Why doesn’t George Lucas make new movies about what happens after the original trilogy? I would go see those movies.

Here are some of the reviews of the new movie:

Dear George Lucas: Stop ruining 'Star Wars'!

Ain't It Cool News retracts 'Clone Wars' review

'Star Wars': Game Over

I think I will just watch the Clone Wars animated TV series on YouTube instead.

New Zealand’s Current Top 20 Popular Songs

In honor of the Olympics, I’m doing some lists of the top 20 hit songs around the world. Yesterday was Denmark; today is New Zealand. Here is the New Zealand Top 20 list for the week ending August 13, 2008. I found the list at: www.top40-charts.com.

For most of the songs, the people who own the rights to the song do not necessarily want you to embed the videos. In that case, I have used a fan video, and included a link to the music video below.

Here are the songs:

Where are You in the Real World? Yahoo Knows.

Yahoo has released a new web application: Fire Eagle.

From www.fireeagle.yahoo.net:

Fire Eagle allows you to share your locations with other sites and services safely through a secure server - you are always in control. You can decide to share your location with any site that can use it, and even choose how much detail to give that application (exact point, neighborhood, city, state, country).

It is free to use. Other applications that are built on top of Fire Eagle may charge you for their services, however.

Oh joy, between this and Google Maps, everyone will know where I live. People, be careful who you share your private information with. You do not want a weirdo showing up at your door in the middle of the night.

From: KristenNicole927

Mashable's Kristen Nicole interviews Yahoo's Tom Coates for the general Fire Eagle launch.

In honor of the Olympics going on in Beijing, let’s do a list of the top 20 hit songs in China. So, here is the China Top 20 list for the week ending July 14, 2008.

I found the list at: www.top40-charts.com.

Ford Mustang Customization

The latest version of the Ford Mustang is a fun car just out of the show room. But some people like to modify their cars, to make them more fun.

You can take a stock Mustang, and modify it.

Top 100 Songs of 1998

Here’s another list of songs. This time, we go back ten years to 1998. Like all of these lists, some of you will know the songs, and some of you will not. No matter if you are old or young, most people will hear these songs and say: “They don’t make them like they used to.”

For this list, since the songs are (to me) only ten years old, the people who own the rights to the song do not necessarily want you to embed the videos. In that case, I have used a fan video, and included a link to the music video below.

I got my list from: www.musicoutfitters.com.



Here is the top 100.

What Have You Done This Summer?

mememolly had a very busy summer.



Wow. What have I done this summer? Worked at lot. I still have a month to go; I’d better get busy.

Segway, Meet the Winglet


Toyota is working on a stand-up scooter like the Segway. It is more maneuverable then the Segway, but slower. (It goes 3.7 mph, and the Segway goes up to 12.5 mph.) For more information, go to: www.news.cnet.com.

It comes in three handle bar lengths. The shortest length handlebar (shown in the video) looks the least dorky.



Toyota unveiled the Winglet at Toyoto's showroom in Aomi, Tokyo, Aug. 1, 2008. For the accompanying story see www.japantimes.co.jp



It looks cool. Whether or not I’ll get depends on the price. My guess is that it will cost too much, but who knows?

Then again, at three miles an hour, I might as well walk. Or ride my bike.

Pandas

How do they like the hot summer?

Maybe they are sad.

From: etexac

A slide show I made using panda pics and set to Gary Jules' song Mad World.Ok, I never expected this many views, but to add some info about the video...I was dating a girl around the time I made the video, we lived a couple hours apart and she would always joke around and say that she was a sad panda whenever I had to leave to go back home.She also loved to play the piano, and once played this song. So I took the two and made the video.



Maybe they are having fun.

From: mywebbie

The best place to visit the pandas is definitely ChengDu. Chengdu is describe as the City of Pandas. We visited where it has the biggest panda research center and you really get to see the pandas up close. The weather was pretty cooling, so the pandas were out playing and lazying around. Enjoy!



Maybe they have alergies.

But while we are watching them, maybe they are watching us!
