Disneyland 1959 8mm Movies

So while I was home for the holidays, my parents got some of their old 8mm movies transferred to dvd. They had some really neat Disneyland movies circa 1959, and I just had to share them! This was the first year the Matterhorn, Monorail, and Submarine Voyage was open. Keep an eye out for the Rainbow Caverns, Keel Boat, Captain Hook's Ship, and some other great rides that have long since gone.

Dinosaur Choco Eggs!

Oh man, these are my new favorite things ever! They are Dinosaur Choco Eggs by a company called Futura. I found them in a little Japanese Market. They are chocolate eggs, and when you crack them open, you get a toy dinosaur inside!! They're anywhere from 1-2 inches tall, and the quality is incredible. Plus the chocolate is pretty tasty too ;-)

Coolest Thing Ever!!

To anyone with an extra $2,000 lying around, here is what I want for Christmas:

Twitter!!?

So I swore up and down that I would never sign up for Twitter. Mostly because of this comic. But, I finally succumbed to the peer pressure last week and signed up. I must admit, it is rather fun, and a great way to keep in contact with friends and co-workers. It's really great for sharing links and I view it as essentially an instant messenger crossed with status updates ala Facebook. So in short, it's not so bad, but it is highly addicting. You can see my latest update by visiting my Twitter homepage. Good times!!

No Ticket.

So today I finally was able to put together the scene from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade that I've been wanting to make since I first saw the movie.

Indy and Henry in the German motorcycle!

Lego Ferrari F-40

Here is a custom Lego Ferrari F-40 I made a few weeks back. I had a very limited number of parts, but I think it turned out fairly well! Click through to see more pictures!

Mickey's Follies

In honor of All Hallow's Eve, I present perhaps the scariest and oddest bit of animation of Mickey Mouse, which is found in the short "Mickey's Follies" (1929)



You can thank me for the nightmares later.
