This is the most bizarre game I’ve seen in a while, but it is also the most awesome. Just.. well, just whatch the video and see how awesome this is!

The tune in the video is D.A.N.C.E by Justice. Don’t like the rest of their stuff but that song is cool.

Found a neat article on Wired.com today about a homegrown Baja 1000 racing team that runs a stock VW Bug, with a cage and other rally kit tacked on. The cars nothing crazy, but they really do a good job of documenting a large part of their experiences and keeping you in the know of what’s going on.

Heres my first shirt design for Woot’s derby. Its not terribly impressive but I didn’t realize the rules only let you have 6 Pantone colors, or that all the colors had to be on separate layers. That last part sucked since I had to disassemble the entire image and rearrange it into spec. For some reason this guy makes me really sad, is eyes just look maniacally depressed. I’m currently in 185th 178th place, so if you have a Woot account, log in and help Mr. Drinking bird get over his depression by voting him to the top!

You’ve all seen them. The mall Santas that look like they crawled out from under a Christmas dumpster. Some are skinny, some are fat, and the few good ones stand out above the rest. The following website is not dedicated to those good Santas, but the later. So click on the link and enjoy. Merry Christmas!
