I don’t know about you, but all the detail that they put into this (like the Photoshop layer list) really makes me wish that I’d see stuff like this pop up in the US more often.

Vintage Commercial Aviation Promotions. You gotta love them.

So yeah… does anyone else have something to add?

I’ve had the giggles non stop for about 30 minutes now just looking at this picture before I posted it. LOL!!!

Yeah. I know. You’re saying “awwwww” right about now.

Merry Christmas and Happy holidays!

Bah Humbug to those who don’t celebrate the holiday season

Seen here working on what looks like some kind of wooden Mac, the King of the Geeks presides over a messy garage workshop on the refurbished Spaceship Earth ride.

Alternatively, it could actually be Steve Jobs under that beard and hair. Who knows?

Maybe Disney opted to save money by combining both Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs into an unholy Jobswiak Monster?

You can click the above picture to see more up close and personal pictures of this embroidered plush Nintendo system.

Apparently Blythe Church hand dyed the felt, hand sewed it and embroidered all the details. It took her 2 full weeks to create this geektastic masterpiece.

The felt Nintendo system has an opening cover so that games can be put in and removed and she even made felt Mario 3 and Duck Hunt games:

Who knew that crafting people came up with such cool geeky stuff? I’ve seen some cool things before but this Nintendo system takes the cake.

Hat tip to Blythe Church for making some cool stuff out of felt.

Since I’ve now got Nintendo on the brain, it’s time to dig my Nintendo (NES) system out of the garage so I can play some Mario 3 and Duck Hunt.

Google’s tribute to Albert Einstein “Google=mc2″ with Einsign:

This is the first year we’re not with other family members and it’s actually ok with us… nice and relaxing without all the “family fun” and bah humbugs

In the picture, you can see I’m wearing my WordCamp 2006 shirt and yes before you comment, I know that I’m not smiling in the picture… I was barely awake and I’m sporting my Don King morning hair. At least I’m upright and have a shirt on.

Ok, on with the post… for gifts I received the following (not in any special order):

• Handmade scarf (gray in color)
• 2007 Ford Mustang wall calendar
• Tripod for my camera and video recorder
• Trivial Pursuit DVD Pop Culture Board Game
• RC car parts (tires, chrome rims, alignment tools, foam inserts)
• 2007 “Far Side” comic desk calendar
• Black & Decker Auto Wrench
• 2 shot glasses for my ever growing collection
• Duracell Pen Light (with batteries included)
• A wide variety of boxer shorts with fun messages on them
• Woppers candy
• Reeces Pieces candy
• $100.00 USD Visa gift card (w00t. time to buy some clothes)
• Lubriderm Daily Moisture Lotion (perfect for cold weather)

One of the shot glasses says “Hawaii” on it and the other one has a sexy girl posed on it. Hubba hubba.

A couple of the fun messages on the boxer shorts are:

“You shook me all night long” and “I’m smart but I work with nuts”.

Good times. I’m looking forward to wearing them around the house.

Around 1:00 PM we finally made some food for breakfast… ok, a late lunch… we made scrambled eggs with shredded cheese, an entire pound of bacon (I love bacon) and toast with butter and jelly.

All and all it’s been a pretty nice and relaxing low stress day. I plan on taking it easy over the next couple of days as well. I put in a ton of hours for work and personal projects, so now I’m taking some time for myself and my lady… and the dog too

I hope everyone is having a Merry Christmas and a happy holiday.

For those of you who don’t celebrate Christmas, I hope you’re having a good day as well.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you, some amazing waterfalls from the beautiful State of Oregon that we visited on August 15, 2006. I won’t go into a long description as the photos speak for themselves but I will put the name of each waterfall:

Latourell Falls:

Wahkeena Falls:

Multnomah Falls:

Horsetail Falls:

As you can see, these waterfalls were just amazing and the lo-resolution versions I posted don’t due them justice. I took multiple shots of each waterfall as well, I just don’t want to post them all until I get a nice gallery plugin or stand alone gallery script for my site.

Keep in mind that I did take very high resolution pictures, so I’ll be able to get some nice prints done to frame for around the house, turn into screen savers, computer wallpaper or even into nice greeting cards for family or friends.

I hope you enjoy the photos. Comments always welcome.
