Get ‘em while they’re hot.

And, no, I’m not on the Amazon payroll. :P

I hate weddings, but I give props to these two ladies for celebrating their geekiness:

Might we see an increase in Portal Wedding cakes in the near future?

Live Long & Prosper Foam Hand

 

Over on ThinkGeek, they’re selling a pretty awesome Vulcan “Live Long and Prosper” Foam hand. Though stereotypically, the idea of Trekkers and sports events somehow converging is a strange one.

Stop Making Sense 25th Anniversary

 

Talking Heads being my favorite band, it made me sad to realize that I had overlooked the 25th anniversary of their amazing concert film, Stop Making Sense. It’s coming out on Blu-ray next week – might be time for me to actually purchase a Blu-ray player.

In honor of this release, here’s the amazing David Byrne “Self-Interview” that was made to promote the film, and appears on the DVD as an extra feature.
