Yes, ladies and gentlemen, nerds and nerdettes, and geeks of … well, geeks are genderless:
we at the ol’ raincoaster blog have an announcement to make. We know who will play Kirk, Spock and McCoy in the new Star Trek XI film.
It’s. Matt. Damon. As. Captain. James. Tiberius. Kirk.
Naturally, Adrian Brody is the logical choice for Mr. Spock of [...]
As Jesus’ General points out, it looks like Judith has had to pursue alternative career paths since her historic and histrionic flameout over the OJ I Did So Do It But Rupert Says I’m Not Allowed to Tell You debacle. She and Heidi could tag-team as a novelty cougar act, come to think of it.

Why pay big bucks for your chick beer when you can now make your very own ciders and perry? A tenth of the cost of Smirnoff Ice, and far more pretention-worthy than anything out of a can or a plastic bottle, plus full of nutritious vitamins and minerals. Also, phytochemicals. That’s right; we’re here to [...]
…give it to someone else.
Oh, fine. I obviously had some issues with the whole work-for-no-pay-yet-be-taxed-on-it thang. Next!
I’m funny that way. Maybe Guido has at last made a Capitalist of me?
Nah.
Here, listen to some rousing folk rock about the military-industrial complex, creeping fascism, and the IMF. I always find that cures it.
And by the way, there’s [...]
Yes, it’s Daniel Radcliffe, nekkid as a jaybird.
Now we know why Sirius had to die. In isolated parts of Nunavut, they could simply have gotten married…
Thanks to the intrepid and ever-vigilant Perez, we now know that the “and two veg” vastly outshines the “meat”, meaning wee Mr. Radcliffe is not only low in calories, but [...]
The Yves Rossy version. Yes, it’s the Icarus of Switzerland on video!
Stole this from Dale, who stole it from Defence Tech, which is the kind of trash he reads at the hairdresser’s, just to give you an idea what his life is like. You’d think the boy would learn from me and raise his standards, [...]
Constellations : Which one are you?
Cygnus, the swan. You’re the elegance and grace of the constellations. Whatever flaws you may have are hidden completely by your impeccable manners and overall grace. Your power is elegance. Your animal is (obviously) the swan.

Found via a loopy stagger around and off sulz’s blog. Cross-posted to running through rain.
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is more well-known than well-understood, but now any old Myspace slacker still straight enough to click a quiz without having to close one eye and move his lips while watching YouTube can find out how self-realized s/he [...]
Yeah. So. Given the technical issues over the past couple of days which I have not mentioned here strictly out of my concern for your joyful blog-perusing experience (because lo, we are all about thee on the ol’ raincoaster blog, I tell ya), I am not quite as thrilled and indeed substantially more downcast [...]
On the one hand, I had a job interview today, yay, go me, etc, etc, whatever.
On the other hand, if I get the job I will earn money, but I will not now, nor in the future, actually receive the money.
Still, for me this is progress.

You do not need to understand Japanese to love this video I stole from Japanprobe. It’s two anime nerds (otaku) facing down two bullies, Final Fantasy style. The reading of the scroll is particularly moving, I must say, and the stylistic violence is reminiscent of early Peckinpah although the unconventional heros evoke Tony Ching Siu-tung’s more humorous masterpieces.

Kimpton’s Pacific Palisades Hotel Announces Third Annual Suit Drive
Pacific Palisades Hotel Aims to Raise More than a Suit for Dress For Success
Vancouver BC, February 26, 2007
On March 15, 2007, Kimpton’s Pacific Palisades Hotel will host its third annual ‘More than a Suit Drive’ in support of Dress for Success. Between 6:30am - 9:30am, Vancouverites are [...]
Another video from apeman, the twisted Canuckistani genius who brought Hinterland’s Who’s Who’s Crack Spider into being.
Again, I’m sticking the video and lyrics over the jump because I was told that it was kinder to the people on dialup and also because I hope this way I won’t have to do a bloody restart every time my cache fills [...]
The world just can’t get enough GRILF lately, Gwyneth Paltrow’s rumoured Oscar nipple slip notwithstanding. So here, for you acting royalty fetishists, is a fantastic mashup video of The King and The Queen, together again for the first time.
How history would have been different, had they only gotten together and made sweet jungle love. Vid [...]
Because sometimes you’re just too damn lazy to write the blog post yourself. Here, via the Generator Blog, is the Blog-o-matic blog post generator (now improved: 50% less maudlin than the LiveJournal post generator).
My result:
Everything to know about Genes
Last night I dreamt we simply need to realize to make peace on earth. Why am I [...]
Um, I totally don’t see the problem here. What’s everyone laughing at?
Stolen from Mark Wells.

I’m sure that this question is keeping you awake nights. “Am I more nutty or dry? Fragrant or just pungent?” you doubtless mutter to the dark spaces between the stars as you lie abed, consumed with existential dread and the faint aroma of the dairy products you inadvisedly consumed in the search for knowledge, even though [...]
Well, that title should draw the Buffy fans like flies.
The BBC reports that men in Tanzania live in constant fear of being attacked and raped by a bisexual demon in the form of a giant bat.
The story goes that the bat is able to transform itself into a man at night and it has also been [...]
Yes, really. Here is the immortal Vegas lounge duo Steve and Eydie putting their silken throats to that heroin-laced grunge classic Black Hole Sun, from the album Loungeapalooza. And this time no chipmunk effects. Lyrics over the jump.
And by the way, Eydie’s got a blog.
