Keep ’em coming. That reminds me…I need to catch up with Saw V before this Halloween.

Google’s mystery doodle is back for more
Enter the follow-up doodle in the series of alien-related Google doodles. First it was the UFO-inspired doodle that searched for “unexplained phenomena.” Now there is a crop-circle inspired doodle that searches for the keyword “crop circle.” The first doodle’s image file name was “Go_gle.” This image’s file name is “Goog_e.” First the “o” was abducted, now the “l” is missing. What this means no one knows. On it’s Twitter page Google posted the following coordinates: 51.327629, -0.5616088. Followers figured out that these specific coordinates reveal a location in the UK, a town called Horsell in Surrey, England, to be exact. Interestingly this area is infamous for it’s prominent role in H.G. Wells’ “War of the Worlds;” it is the town where the aliens first land in the novel.
So, what does this all mean? Unfortunately there are no solid answers…again. Some theories include: Wells’ 143rd birthday falls on September 21; “It’s almost certainly a viral marketing campaign teasing people ahead of some launch in a week or two” (via UK Guardian); and my favorite–Google has been taken over by aliens from an unknown planet. Just like before, all there is to do now is to continue theorizing and wait for the next doodle or a possible explanation from Google itself.

RIP Patrick Swayze
My two favorite Swayze movies are Dirty Dancing and Ghost. A great talent will truly be missed.
Kid Cudi – Man on the Moon: The End of Day drops tomorrow
If nothing has enticed you yet to pick up Cudi’s freshman album tomorrow, this will. Kid Cudi recently performed “Pursuit of Happiness,” the third single off his new album, live on Letterman. Those of you who are sick of his most popular single Day ‘N Nite please watch this and understand the scope of Cudi’s fresh and energetic talent. The way he commands the stage reveals a less edgy and more smooth vision of hip hop (or rap). And for you rockers out there, there is a sweet guitar solo by featured guest Ratatat. It’s really a great song, and I am sure such new and inventive musical raw talent will be plentiful on the album. Man on the Moon: The End of Day–get yours.

The Junk Dunk
Created by Gabriel Dishaw. It’s the Nike Dunks from the future!
This piece was a continuation of my previous piece JUNK DUNK (Right) I wanted to attempt this approach again, with a more refined and detailed outcome. I used very little wire and more glue to keep the piece more clean, and less bulky. I also added new details, a hinged tongue and nike logo’s on both the tongue and back of the shoe. On previous models I used a real nike sole to build of off. With this piece I started from scratch and build the sole from circuit boards.

Early Emmy winners include Dr. Horrible, South Park, SNL
The Creative Artsys Emmys 2009 awards precedes the televised Emmys every year, and this particular year had some great winners.
Comedy Central’s South Park won its fourth Emmy in the Animated Program (less than one hour) category. Two Saturday Night Live talents won Emmys for their hilarious acts in the weekly late-night show. Former cast member and writer Tina Fey won an Emmy for her perfect and timely portrayal of Sarah Palin, and recurring host and musical guest Justin Timberlake snagged an Emmy for his comedic triumphs during this past season. The two Interactive Media awards went to Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and Lost for their awesome web content, the Digital Experience and “Dharma Initiative,” respectively.
Lastly, Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog won an Emmy in the short-format live-action entertainment program category, a category, mind you, that was essentially created for the hit web act. Congratulations Joss Whedon, the Whedon sons, Neil Patrick Harris, Felicia Day, Nathan Fillion, Maurissa Tancheron, and the rest of the Dr.H cast and crew. You most definitely deserved an Emmy for your unique, crafty, and spectacular work. We are all looking forward to a repeat win next year for the oft-rumored Dr.H sequel!
Make sure to catch the 2009 Emmy Awards next Sunday at 8PM on CBS. It’s hosted by NPH, so it’s a must-see.

Andy Samberg goes behind the scenes of “Cloudy with a Chance”
“Andy Samberg doesn’t understand how animation works. But that doesn’t stop him from giving behind-the-scenes misinformation on “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs.”
Ah, Andy at his best. Looking forward to “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs,” in theatres September 18 and Saturday Night Live, which premieres September 26.
