The Softer Side of Hard Drives

2008-07-26T04:55:00.000-07:00

In this age of tech savvy women and the rise in female fashion bloggers, there is a need for fashionable hard drives.

Samsung 2.5″ Hard Drive by Joongoo Lee. Joongoo’s design was inspired by a ladies make-up compact found at the bottom of most hand bags. Fitting comfortably in the palm of your hand (not that hard drives need to be in the palm of your hand) this design makes me want to explore my feminine side a bit further [more... ]

Pregnant Man (UPDATE) - Video

2008-07-26T04:06:00.000-07:00

The (former) pregnant man, Thomas Beatie, has released baby photos and his story. The baby, born June 29th, was a 9 and a half pound girl named Susan Juliette.

Thomas told People, “When Susan finally came out, it was like in slow motion.” That comment itself is probably similar to the feeling expressed by many new mothers… But of course, Thomas was a pregnant MAN.

After 30 odd hours of labor, he noted, “I weigh two pounds less than I did before I got pregnant… And I don’t have a single stretch mark!”

For the full picture spread, pick up People Magazine, who paid Thomas $300,000 for the photos (slightly less than the $20 million that Angelina Jolie earned.)

Radiohead, “House Of Cards” Video

2008-07-17T22:24:00.000-07:00

Radiohead’s latest music video was filmed without any cameras, using only lasers.

No cameras or lights were used. Instead two technologies were used to capture 3D images: Geometric Informatics and Velodyne LIDAR. Geometric Informatics scanning systems produce structured light to capture 3D images at close proximity, while a Velodyne Lidar system that uses multiple lasers is used to capture large environments such as landscapes. In this video, 64 lasers rotating and shooting in a 360 degree radius 900 times per minute produced all the exterior scenes. (code.google.com)

Cool Video!

Knox was born at 6:27 pm and Vivienne Marcheline came within a minute of that time.

Outside the hospital, Sussmann shared how smoothly the delivery of Knox and Vivienne went:

On Brad and Angie during the labor and delivery: “[They] were talking, they were together. It was an epidural, so [Angelina] was awake and speaking and laughing. They were happy.”

On Brad never leaving Angie’s side: “He was my assistant! [He even cut the babies’ umbilical cords!] He was … perfectly calm, totally determined, very pleased to be at the birth of his children, very moved and very emotional.” More..

The names: Vivienne Marcheline is most likely named after Jolie's mother, actress Marcheline Bertrand, who died of cancer in 2007. Knox Leon's name is more in sync with those of his siblings: Maddox, 6, Pax, 4, Zahara, 3, and Shiloh.

Angelina Jolie's action thriller Wanted had the best opening ever for an R-rated film released in June and the 6th best opening of all the time for any R-rated film, according to Variety.

But Wanted didn't open at No. 1. WALL-E, the Pixar Animation tale about a robot, opened with $62.5 million in ticket sales, while Jolie's assassin thriller Wanted raked in $51.1 million, the Associated Press reported Sunday.

According to AP, WALL-E moviegoers of all ages:
"The real secret is that they are not films for children. They are films for everyone. The kids love very much, but parents take advantage of on another level," Mark Zoradi, president of Disney's film group told the AP.

Nikki Rocco, head of distribution for Universal, told the AP, "We knew WALL-E would be enormous, but this is not the same audience that Wanted."
The same New York Times criticizing the dissed Sex and the City film Angelina Jolie gave a fume.
"With its average smiley scoff and tight clothes, heels and hieroglyphics, it cuts the disciplinarian type figure that can bring antsy boys of all ages to its knees or at least in their theater seats," wrote Manohla Dargis.

Trivia: The queen of celebrity tattoo, Angelina has geographical coordinates tattoed on her left arm that indicate the location of where her children were born. The tattoo covered the previous dragon and name of her ex husband billy bob thornton which were removed when they got separated. (See Angelina's most memorable action roles.)
