How does this fit into your idea of "Dream Job"?

After a request from CatnRice, here's a link to a newspaper article that made a certain Penguin rather happy.

Dress Codes 101

I wore a long sleeved shirt with jeans and sneakers today. How on earth is that formal?  Some people really have no clue how dress codes work.  

Here's a quick guide in ascending order.   

Casual: we all know what casual is.

Smart Casual: collared shirt, at the very least jeans without any fading or rips and shoes.

Business casual: long sleeved shirt, dress pants and dress shoes. With or without a tie.  With a sports coat or blazer in colder climates.

Business formal: suit, tie and dress shoes.

Black tie formal: tuxedo with a black bow tie, cummerbund or waistcoat, patent leather shoes.

White tie formal: tailcoat, white bow tie, waistcoat, patent leather shoes.

Dragon Age... What if

What if you died at the Joining?

Instead you are raised to join the ranks of the Darkspawn?

To be one of the numerous ranks of chaos and evil.

What if all this is true?

A look at an alternate history: what if your character had died in the Joining ceremony, and the Grey Wardens marched under Alistair's command instead?
Command genlocks, hurlocks, shrieks, and even the mighty ogres.

A dark future awaits. Are you ready to claim your prize?

Giant Robots and Rice Bras

Here's the link to download the free version of Mechwarrior IV from Mek-tek, the current holders of the rights. Seems that the server keeps crashing due to demand but has stablized in the last few days.

Also, one of the most pants-shittingly insane inventions I have run across this week, Luckily its only a "proof of concept" model.

Not that such a thing has not been done before, its essentially a repurposing of an existing product.



Yes, saving the environment is a good and noble cause. However there are a lot of better ways to do it though than to create multi-purpose underwear. Still its a much better idea than hot coffee thermos briefs.

Avengers Assemble!

After watching the entertaining Iron Man 2 movie, the curiosity drove me to find out more about up coming Avengers related movies:

Spoilers #1
Who is Thor?
Mr Thor

When its out?
Check it out!

He also happens to be Aussie!

Spoiler #2
Who is Captain America?
Steve Rogers

When its out?

Wait a minute? Isn't he the one who play Johnny Storm? Does that mean the Fantastic 4 will not be featured in the avengers?
Think someone is concerned about bursting the production budget...

Avenegers Assembling in 2012. Preventing 2012 (the movie) from happening.
