Sometimes I like my Whisky Han style…Solo.

Posted on August 24, 2011 | 1 Comment

I haven’t been going into the office to work a lot lately, because I get more done from my home office. Having two 23″ screens just lets me be way more productive. I did happen to go into the office on Tuesday, and I was so glad I did. This showed up via UPS.

Han Solo frozen in carbonite…ice cube tray!

C3P0: Oh, they’ve encased him in carbonite. He should be quite well protected.

Jabba the Hutt: There will be no bargain. I will not to give up my favorite decoration. I like Captain Solo where he is.

That’s right. I will never be drinking alone as long as I have one of the best smugglers in the galaxy by my side. Pick up your own ice cube tray here.

Star Wars Nerds Unite!

Posted on June 6, 2011 | Leave a comment

I mentioned that I got to go to the Hollywood Bowl to see Star Wars in Concert with Michelle. It was absolutely amazing.

Finally, I can wear my hoodie without fear of judgement.

OMG! It’s starting. Luke and Leia are sitting in front of us too!

Darth Vader! Michelle looked at her hoodie and said, “That’s me!”

Mr. Anthony Daniels, C3P0 himself narrated the show.

They had some really cool animations and sketches they showed during the show.

The firing of the Death Star’s primary weapon, a superlaser created by the hypermatter reactor.

How dare you fall asleep during this awesome display of awesomeness!

Special effects and screen display aside, the orchestra was fantastic. I would find myself bobbing my head to the music of my favorite sci-fi franchise and then realize the music was being played live. Incredible performance.

Those are all light sabers, being swayed back and forth along to the music. These are my people.

This was such a great experience. Many thanks to Michelle’s dad and mom, who not only tolerate my love for geeky things like this, but also encourage it by getting us the tickets. Michelle is on her way to joining the Dark Side, which is the best side because “evil will always triumph over good, because good is dumb.”

I have the best wife in the world!

Some of you may have seen Michelle’s tweet a couple days ago.

I don’t know what possessed her to look up the product again, but apparently it’s no longer sold out on the pre-order! While your wife will never be as good as mine, you can at least have your Han Solo Frozen in Carbonite Ice Cube Trays!

Third installment of Family Guy Star Wars movies.

Posted on November 19, 2010 | Leave a comment

The Family Guy crew has done such a great job with the first two of the series. I can’t wait to see this third one. I hope they never make Episodes 1-3 though. They’re too terrible to spoof.

The Force of Typography

Posted on November 19, 2010 | Leave a comment

I love it when someone combines two things I love individually into something more beautiful. Bacon wrapped hot dogs. Bacon wrapped dates. Bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers. Okay, most of them involve bacon, but on rare occasions they involve combining two things, neither of which are bacon. This time it’s typography and Star Wars.

Check out larger sizes from the source, here.

I’m an uncle!

Posted on November 18, 2010 | Leave a comment

I promise to be the best uncle possible, and not the creepy uncle that lives in a van with no windows in the alley behind the record store. I’ve even started to prepare for my first talk with niece on an important subject that you can never have too early in a child’s life.

Awesome on many levels.

Posted on November 4, 2010 | Leave a comment

The fact that LEGO has expanded beyond just the simple square blocks I grew up with a kid is incredible, but the franchise they’ve created by doing computer graphic based videos is amazing. Here’s a film based off of their CG characters and  involving Star Wars no less. It also doesn’t hurt that they make Jar Jar Binks a total loser, what he really was in the actual Star Wars movies.
