A set of stills from the movies Raising Arizona, and No Country for Old Men, both Coen Brother productions by the way, showing some close scene comparisons between both films.

Clever.

Weddings on the Moon aren’t available just yet, but if you have a lazy two million dollars you can still tie the knot in a low sub Earth orbit instead.

The wedding aboard the Rocketplane XP suborbital spaceplane will cost 240 million yen ($2.2 million), this includes a wedding ceremony aboard a 1-hour space flight that reaches an altitude of more than 100 kilometers.

Brings to mind the lyrics from Pink Floyd’s Learning To Fly, “there’s no sensation to compare with this, suspended animation, a state of bliss…”

If there’s a Pink Floyd reference to be found… yeah, I’ll find it.

Back in the day being a web designer meant knowing a little HTML (no CSS) and how to use image creation software like Photoshop. That was about it. That was a long time ago. There is just a little bit more to the role today however.

You may find that there are plenty of job listings where the job requirements are described as, “must be expert with Photoshop and Illustrator…” or something long those lines. Ignore those job listings; they’re placed by inept and sick companies looking for decorators, not designers. Take a job with a company asking for a Photoshop expert and I promise you’ll never be allowed to engage in design.

The 4-D echographic images of the baby kind of reminds me of the Star Child from 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Not so long ago, you didn’t even know the sex of your baby until the day of birth. Today, we’ll know just about everything there is to know – especially now that expectant mommies and daddies can gaze upon their progeny with the help of Echographic images 4-D. Apparently, these are the best medical images available.

If there’s a 2001 reference to be found somewhere, I’ll find it :)

While British republicans aren’t so sure, Buckingham Palace has declared that the British people are getting value for money from their monarchy, with the institution costing each taxpayer the price of just one iTune purchase per year to maintain.

In their annual report on the use of public money to support the queen and senior royals in their officials duties, Buckingham Palace officials stressed that the cost of the monarchy for each taxpayer is just 66 pence [A$1.40 approx] for each British subject. It costs each Briton “less than the cost of two pints of milk or a download to an iPod” to fund the monarchy, according to a statement posted Friday on the queen’s Web site.

It’s about time that age old carrier of cash was given a Web 2.0 makeover.

Wallet 2.0 is made out of very soft silicone, available in 5 colors, and comes with a patent pending system of refill sheets that allow you to be really organized (at least in your wallet). Think of the refill sheets as a manila folder in your wallet, giving you immediate access to the item you are looking for.

Watch those cocktails, they may kick you twice. Not only could they be to blame for a certain degree of regret the morning after, they could also be to blame for a certain degree of weight gain. :/

Not all icy drinks are created equal: A couple of your after-work favorites can be equivalent to a whole day’s worth of calories – or a nice big piece of cheesecake.

A list of the 50 greatest Australian albums of the last 50 years.

While some claim that recent technology is rendering the album obsolete, the best bands are still judged by great albums.

Residents of the US state of North Carolina have the option to exchange “potentially offensive” license plates bearing the letters WTF, after learning what the initialism generally means.

Thanks to some text message-savvy grandchildren, North Carolina drivers whose license plates have the potentially offensive “WTF” letter combination can replace the tags for free.

What’s a bet the “text message-savvy grandchildren” want the “WTF” car registration plates for themselves?

ICANN’s change in policy for domain name extensions, or Top Level Domains (TLD), might be good news for domain speculators (and even ICANN itself), but for the rest of us it could usher in an era of confusion when it comes to finding some websites.

If anything, this actually devalues .com domain names – many browsers currently assume “.com” for any word you type into the address field (others assume you want to search for that term on the web). So if you already own “.com”, the value of this auto complete function just vanished – afterall, if a user types “pepsi” – do they mean “pepsi.com”, or “something.pepsi”?
