Must-know facts of HDTV, Gun laws in the US? Shrek vs Fat people? Sheep=Poodle in Japan? LOL

Greetings! TGIF (oh come on you should know this by know!) again!

I’ve read so much about HDTV and how awesome it is etc. so I came across this article and seeing as I’m considering getting one it serves as uber handy! Chekkit!

So since the VT shootings (here’s a link back to my views) where do gun laws stand? This article delves into the line where we should or shouldn’t provide certain individuals with firearms especially regards the mentally unhealthy. A good read.

For a fun read people are pissed off that Shrek is the voice for the fight against child obesity.

On a bizarre tip, Japanese people were duped into buying  which were actually sheep LOL pwned!

Today’s pics are given to you by….The Police and Captain America!

MySpace as a new advertising medium, The Teen’s Second Life + make your freezer more efficient!

Hey guys,

How are we all? Close to Friday~~ so let’s kick it off!

MySpace is the ‘new’ old thing…if that makes sense. Now the utility thereof as an advertising medium has been the hot topic of these 2 items.

1. AdAge’s article discusses the value of making ‘friends’ if you’re a brand/ product. (it’s a really interesting read that goes quite into the subject)

2. Marketing Vox’s article gives out kudos on MySpace as THE ‘next advertising’.

So we always talk about Second Life, but today I came upon this article that talks about a new virtual world that is on the boom. It’s called Gaia Online and it’s aimed at teens with a nice unique visitor number of 2 million last month. Check it out, the graphics are cute, but not sexy in my view.

Finally, a homelife tip on how to make your freezer more efficient!

Today’s theme for the pics are…Bubble Bobble and Disney’s Jiminy Cricket! Thanks to VGcats for the comics!

Anzac Day

Hey guys,

In Australia, today we had a public holiday called Anzac Day.

It’s a day of remembrance for the Aussie and New Zealand troops that fought at Gallipoli in Turkey in World War 1.

So today’s post is going to be a silent one to remember their legacy.

Lest we Forget.

Tomorrow’s post will be action packed but today will be a blog of remembrance.
