Dinosaurs Upstage Dorky German Television Show Host

October 8th, 2009

Apparently German television is now being taken over by dinosaurs. I suppose it’s just a matter of time before this happens in America. Though I’m sure Oprah wouldn’t go down easy, putting up an epic fight against these creatures. Now that would be some good TV.

2009 Philly Zombie Prom Photos

October 1st, 2009

Philly Zombie Prom, 2009. Me and the wife.Last weekend was the 2009 Philly Zombie Prom, of which I help organize and DJ. My partners in crime are legendary DJ Robert Drake (WXPN’s Land of the Lost and Kids Corner) and bartender extraordinaire Melissa Torre (Tattood Mom and Sugar Mom), and the event takes place at the historical Trocadero Theatre. Along with the bands Live Not on Evil and The Young Werewolves, Henry David ringin in Halloween, and the crowning of the Zombie Prom King and Queen, it’s a pretty big opening to the Halloween season here in Philly. How big you may ask. How about over 900 zombies worth of big? Yeah, pretty sweet. Below are the few shots I was able to take. You can find a bunch more here, here, here, and here.

The Edgar Allan Poe Digital Collection

September 18th, 2009

I’m a big fan of Edgar Allen Poe, which I’m sure you would have guessed easily. So it comes as no surprise then that I was happy to find out that the Harry Ransom Center of the University of Texas now houses a rather large digital archive of manuscripts and letters created by Edger Allen Poe. Named The Edgar Allan Poe Digital Collection (shocker, I know), it was launched to accompany the 2009 Poe Bicentennial exhibition, “From Out That Shadow: The Life and Legacy of Edgar Allan Poe,” and includes the manuscripts of “The Domain of Arnheim,” “The Spectacles,” and some of Poe’s most famous poems, letters written by and to Poe, books belonging to Poe (including the author’s annotated copies of the Tales and Poems and Eureka), sheet music for songs based on Poe’s works, and various portraits of Poe. The Koester Collection was acquired by the Center in 1966.

Most of the collection from the exhibit once belonged to William H. Koester (1888-1964), who lived in Baltimore and began collecting Poe items in the 1930s.

“No Bones About It” – The Mütter Museum’s New Show

September 18th, 2009

The Mütter Museum now has an online video program “No Bones About” which is hosted by Museum Director Robert Hicks. Unfamiliar with the Mütter Museum of The College of Physicians of Philadelphia? Well, let’s just say that it is one of the most uniquely morbid medical collections of oddities and aberrations in the world, and they are world famous for their calendar that features the museum’s collection.

Vicious D Marty Slick Lays Down The Java Skills

September 18th, 2009

Marty Stepp (aka Vicious D Marty Slick) is a rapper whose only goal is to school you in the world of Java. His code skills are dope. Werd.

Testing New Blog-To-Twitter Thingy Part II

September 16th, 2009

I think I have the plugin, Twitter Blog, all set. It will allow my Twitter followers replies to my tweeted blog posts to be pulled and then posted in the original blog post’s comments. But there is a trick to it, just like anything else. In order for the replies to be pulled from Twitter you must click the reply button on the blog post’s tweet. If you just type in a response or click the reply button on a different Tweet, no comment post for you. So give it a try and let’s see if this baby is set.

Facebook and LiveJournal followers… currently you’re s.o.l. until someone makes a similar plugin.

Solomon Kane Movie Trailer

September 16th, 2009

And yet another movie trailer. This one being the film adaptation of of one of my all time favorite Robert E. Howard characters, Solomon Kane. In my book Solomon Kane is more bad-ass than Howard’s more popular character, Conan the Barbarian. Yeah, I said it. The guy in the Quaker hat kicks more ass than the musclebound worshiper of Crom.

The film’s story -

Solomon Kane is a 16th Century soldier who learns that his brutal and cruel actions have damned him. Determined to redeem himself, Kane swears to live a life of peace and goodness but is forced to fight once more when a dark power threatens the land.

The film is written and directed by Michael J. Bassett, and stars James Purefoy, Max von Sydow, Pete Postlethwaite, Rachel Hurd-Wood, Alice Krige and Mackenzie Crook.
