No word from Batgirl or Alfred

Jingle Bells,
Batman smells,
Robin laid an egg.
Batmobile lost a wheel
And the Joker got away.

Mario, kickin’ ass for the bad guys

Holy crap, this is cool.

Possessed by ghosts, Mario is compelled to retrieve the Power Star. Can Luigi hold back the awful assault?

An all new adventure takes place in the Mario universe were during the night, Mario is possessed by the ghost creatures know as BOOs. He is sent to collect all the power stars destroying all in his way.

Sweet little Flash movie.

Wow - timely!

I’m going to Disneyland this weekend, and the one ride I must go on is the newly-reopened Space Mountain.

So imagine my surprise to learn about — and then to watch — a Space Mountain simulation video! I think it’s the new track layout, though that might just be an artifact of a mis-sync between the soundtrack I know and the on-screen movement.

We’ll see, come Saturday.

If this had been an actual emergency

We just had a mass mock evacuation of our building, and I was not impressed.

See, I think it would be a good idea to somehow alert people in the building to the fact that we’re having an evacuation.

It’s a little less inspiring, I’ve discovered, to have somebody else — not even in the building — ask me while we’re on a conference call if there’s an evacuation going on. (He’d heard the news from somebody else via IM.)

When my response, following a look around at our still completely-populated floor, is “I dunno,” something is not working quite right.

It was essentially a 15-minute exercise in congregating in one of our parking lots, then racing everyone else for the slow-ass elevator to take us back to our respective floors.

Bela Lugosi’s still dead

I’ve got a couple of photos up on Flickr of my Extreme Makeover: Goth Edition.

When/if I get any pics of my “Drac attack!” costume, I’ll let you know.
