In today’s goofy video… the plot of the original three Star Wars films, as explained by someone who has only seen bits and pieces of each. She gets some things right, while some details are way off. Funny, though. Enjoy!
This nervy lady calls a phone-in tech show to complain that her neighbor’s Wi-Fi is no longer available. She has gotten “free” Wi-Fi from an open connection for a year and a half, and suddenly it goes away. So she calls to complain about it, and figure out how to get her stolen connection back. This radio host exercises extreme patience by reminding her that that Wi-Fi is not free for all, it’s a paid service. Watch and enjoy.
We are digging Google’s Winter Olympic inspired logo today. Nice work. We’ve been listening to Olympic coverage on the radio, which is way more boring than in HD TV.
On a related note, someone please give Shaun White a haircut. You know he can afford it.
Barbara Jones of the So-Co Eco-Co-Op: “About time. This site is so solid and bold!”
John J. Smith of the Herald-Times raves: “This site is the ‘greenist’ site I’ve ever seen.”
We here at Saxony are always working to stay ahead of the curve. We have just finished the world’s first totally “green” website and would like to share it with you. We wanted the direction to be simple, and to the point. Please click here and let us know what you think. We welcome your comments.
So, the buzz around the ‘net is that the Sony studio has decided to go in a cheaper younger new direction for the next Spider-Man film. We recognize that this move potentially leaves Tobey Maguire with time on his hands. So we at Saxony have created a Top Ten list of suggested activities for Tobey, to pass the time:
10. Watch Spider-Man 3 in slo-mo to pinpoint where it all went wrong.
9. Practice saying “I was Spider-Man, Dammit!”
8. Try to turn the world black & white again.
7. Finally start developing Cider House Rules 2 (or CHR2 for die-hard fans).
6. Reach out to Kobe and Moby and build a posse of friends with rhyming names.
5. See if “spidey sense” can be sold on eBay.
4. Stop wearing tights, at least professionally.
3. Discover what it’s like to wait for a table at Cheesecake Factory and Olive Garden like the rest of us.
2. Hang upside down at bars and see if ladies will go in for the kiss.
1. Establish a weekly poker game with Eric Bana, Val Kilmer, and Brandon Routh.
San Diego… Super Chargers! We love the Bolts, almost as we love goofy videos. Here’s a clip for the history books. We can’t tell if it took several weeks to put together, or 15 minutes, but we like it either way. This guy is going to lead us to victory and prove to the world why the Chargers belong right here in our own backyard. Go LT, go San Diego Chargers!
OK… Can someone please explain this movie poster? Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as a tooth fairy?! We haven’t heard much about it either, but the movie comes out this month, in the cinematic graveyard that is January. If this one passed enough network meetings to get greenlit, produced, and distributed, we’re going into the movie biz. Sign us up for a seven picture deal, stat.
Target takes on Costco (for a limited time) by stocking supersize merchandise in all of the company’s 1,740 stores. Shrewd move? Or wasted shelf space on bulky packaging? Let us know your thoughts. Would you go to Target to fulfill your Costco needs, knowing there will be no free samples awaiting you? They get pretty mad at Target if you help yourself to the soft pretzels at the cafe.
Check out this ridiculous invention. It’s a box with a mechanized arm inside. You open the box with a button, the mechanized arm shuts the box. That’s all it does. Seriously.
3D Television may be a thing of the future, but according to the LA Times, the future ain’t here yet. While James Cameron made tremendous advancements toward 3D television during the production of Avatar, a 3D prototype that was unveiled in December at Dallas Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas was met with jeers and boos. The demo was cut short after 7 minutes.
There’s no word on whether this experiment made use the same technology as developed by the Avatar team, but it sounds like this particular model is not yet ready for prime time. However, buzz surrounding the Consumer Electronics Show indicate that most major manufacturers are pursuing 3D, and that 3D TVs will be ready for purchase as early as 2010. Stay tuned!
