The trailer is up for The Life Aquatic, Wes Anderson\’s new film. His regular actors Bill Murray and Owen Wilson are in it, and the cinematography looks great as always.

A Murder of Scarecrows is a neat flash game with really beautiful artwork and animation.

Top 10 Most Ridiculous Black Metal Pics of All Time. Ha ha, this stuff is awesome. I love number 5. The bald dude can\’t possibly think he\’s hardcore with makeup like that.

The Digital Bits has info about the massive Ultimate Matrix set. The 10 discs include all 3 movies, the Animatrix, and 6 discs (35 hours) of special features. Christ, I liked the movies but I don\’t know if I can sit through a day and a half\’s worth of Matrix. Also, none of the special features from the original DVD releases is on this new set, so if you\’re a real completist you\’ll need the original DVDs too. There\’s also a collector\’s edition gift set that includes a Neo bust and neat packaging. Looks like the Matrix trilogy beat out Lord of the Rings in bonus materials.

Now this is cool: the JamPlug is a tiny, portable guitar amp that runs on a AAA battery. You plug it into your axe, then plug in the headphones and listen through those. Of course, those dinky earbuds can\’t possibly give the experience of a traditional amp, but still, now you can jam on your electric guitar anywhere you want.

Harley-Davidson offers a chrome mp3 player that you can mount on the handlebars of your hog. It features large buttons for easy operation while wearing gloves and an illuminated LCD display. It uses SD cards for storage though, and it comes with only a 64 mb card. Who wants to listen to music while riding a Harley though? I wanna listen to those obnoxious tailpipes, man.

So I started a new job a month ago. The job environment is really casual and relaxed; I love it. It\’s only half as far as my old job, so that\’s pretty cool. There\’s good food within walking distance too, no more driving everywhere and wasting gas. There\’s a cute girl I work with too.

One of my co-workers is really into photography and he has a cool site with lots of girly photos and other stuff.

Steven Tyler\’s Gun License Up For Grabs

Rock memorabilia collectors will get a bang out of this: Steven Tyler\’s gun license is going on the auction block.

The New Hampshire-issued license bears a picture of the big-lipped Aerosmith singer along with his real name — Steven Victor Tallarico — and his birthdate, height and weight.

How\’s Stephen Tyler supposed to keep the King of England out of his face now?

Heh heh, this Roulette Chocolate is so cool. It\’s a box of 12 chocolate bullets arranged in a circle. 11 are regular sweetness but 1 has a chili pepper in the middle. What, eating chocolate isn\’t thrilling enough for you? Anyway, this would be perfect for a party.

480-pound woman dies after six years on couch

She lived in filth, so large she couldn\’t move from her sofa, even to use the bathroom.

Early Wednesday, still fused to the couch, Gayle Laverne Grinds died following a six-hour effort by rescue workers who struggled to lift the 480-pound woman and get her to a Martin County hospital.

So she was sitting there naked? Uh…burn that couch.
