I don’t know whether to be happy or sad, but Wall-E comes out on Blu-Ray today. For those of you who have been hiding in a hole for a while, or just don’t know, Wall-E is the last of the five original Pixar ideas that founded the company and set a new standard in 3D animation. Those ideas being: A Bug’s Life, Toy Story, The Incredibles, Cars, and finally Wall-E. Anything with Pixar’s name on it shall now bear the smelly dirty taint of the Disney Empire (and Steve Jobs who was bribed by a controlling stake in Disney to get Pixar and Disney back together.).
So happy or sad, you can go buy it now. Or, if you’re cheap/broke and a risk taker, you can probably get it from your favorite download site by tomorrow.

We spent most of last week working a stage crew gig, and we’ve been too exhausted to do anything but work and sleep, so, we’ll see what happens in the next two weeks. We’re pretty committed to see the story through to the end, though.
We filmed this, actually we filmed all of the interviews you see in that setting (feat. Kurupt, Roscoe, Gail Gotti, Kokane, & 40 Glocc in addition to J Silva) we whipped up in a hotel room. We’re pretty proud that you generally can’t see the bed, and mostly can’t hear the 25 people shouting in the next room.
Anyway, we spent all day listening to all of these guys talking, and they’re pretty damn cool. They’re nice, they’re smart, and they have good ethics. Good guys all around. And they have THA RAP SKILLZ.
So, give a listen to Kurupt & Roscoe’s new album which launches today.
Know in a glance when the polls close! And go vote, dammit!
If you love maps, charts, and graphs, it’s the most wonderful time of year to be an American, or the most wonderful time of every four years. The presidential election spawns a bevy of charts, graphs and other crap so that you can stay up to the minute in the race as the polls close. It’s like the whole country is expecting a package (that you mailed out when you cast your vote), and we’re tracking it.
While it’s true that you or I couldn’t survive 160 days in low atmosphere, below zero nights, and incessant windstorms, dust storms, and dust filled cyclones, I can’t help but feel sad that NASA planning to pull the plug on the Phoenix mission. The brave little bot has done its best, but will be shutting down shortly. NASA has already shut down two thirds of its heating systems in an effort to keep the lines of communication open as long as possible. There’s something eerily beautiful about the last signal gasps of a dying robot.
