It is good to get wood

I love wood. There’s something good about having some sturdy wood all day, you know. The look of good wood in your hands is really memorable. That’s why I’ve been thinking about getting wood for my wife.

Of course, since we don’t have an iPhone, we can’t use this particular wood replacement, but I’m thinking about trying to find a wood case replacement like this one for her iPod.

That looks much better than these (admittedly cool but not as cool) wooden iPod cases, doesn’t it?

So, all kinds of choices, but I have a feeling that to give my wife some good hard wood, I’ll have to do all the work myself.

RIP Marcel

mime-noose.jpgA morning news item of interest to few in the US, and probably about someone most don’t even know. Sadly, Marcel Marceau, the great mime (and tangential contributor to coulrophobia in the world), has passed away yesterday at the age of 84.

Marcel Marceau, who revived the art of mime and brought poetry to silence, has died, French media reported Sunday. He was 84.

France-Info radio and LCI television said the family had announced the death of Marceau. No other details were released.

To learn more about Marceau, consider buying his CD Marcel Marceau speaks, which oddly enough is not just a 60 minute selection of silence with periodic interruptions of applause. If the audio method of insight doesn’t catch your fancy, you could also check Bip in a Book to see more of Marceau’s work in printed form.

Rock, paper, scissors – the next generation

rpcguide_clip Play much rock, paper, scissors?  Well, you might if you had access to all the super-advanced play options in what can only be deemed Rock, paper, scissors – the next generation.

And there’s more where that came from.  Oh so much more.  That clip is but a small sample of the full-blown guide, so get over there and see what your RPS game is missing.

Eye candy – …as a redhead

Over at some random site I found while searching for eye candy I could post on the site, I found this post showing a few Hollywoodies photochopped to redheads.  Normally, I’d look and move on.  However, I just had to post when I saw this before and after of Hayden Panettiere.

As you may or may not know, I have a special weakness for the redheads.  And while she’s already such a fine-looking young lady, the redhead look just makes her even better.  Sadly for me, I also found this buzz-killer picture of Ms. Panettiere.
