adidas Originals – Star Wars Collection
adidas Originals is kicking off 2010 by welcoming you to the neighborhood, the street where originality comes to life as artists, athletes, and celebs celebrate their style. Everyone’s invited to our street corner along with some special guests, who traveled from a galaxy far, far away to launch a year’s worth of celebrations.
Impressive NASA satellite image of the UK snow!
Apologies for the lack of posts recently. Partly due to one of the games in our upcoming Games of 2009 list, and partly due to the UK going through a new ice age…

Mal Renyolds Returns to TV!
Okay, so it’s not the return of Firefly (damn you Fox), but Nathan Fillion does don the Browncoat one more time in the form of a Halloween costume in ABC’s Castle. I love the kid’s remark… “Didn’t you wear that 5 years ago?.. Don’t you think you should move on?”
Pulp Fiction Google Wave
Some days you stumble across something so geekily awesome it really has to be shared… Samuel L Jackson’s Exekiel 25:17 speech played out as a Google Wave… Geeky genius! Not only is it brilliantly executed (in every sense of the word), it also does a great job of showing off Google Wave’s features! Great job by the guys over at getwhirled.com.
(BTW, if anyone has a Google Wave access invite they’d like to send me i’d be most grateful!)
Star Wars Uncut – Remaking Star Wars
Star Wars: A New Hope is getting a remake! And before you all let out a Darth Vadian ‘NooOOOooooo!’, it’s not another ploy by Mr. Lucas to get us to buy the original trilogy again (…and again). He’s saving that for the 3D versions. 
This is a remake by fans, who are basically sweding the whole of A New Hope. What’s interesting is how they’re doing it. Rather than just a couple of guys in stormtrooper masks, the coordinators of the Star Wars Uncut project have split the movie into 15 second chunks, and are allocating them to fans and aspiring film makers via their website. They are then taking all the 15 second chunks, and stitching them together into the final movie.
I really love this idea. It’s wonderfully geeky, creative, and involves Star Wars, what’s not to like! I’m just hoping they don’t attract the wrath of the LucasArts legal dept. If your interested in being a part of it, head over to starwarsuncut.com and claim a section for yourself! Trailer below.
