Mr Boey is a Malaysian (presumably working in the US) with a talent for drawing on cups and for humour.
In the last year or so, with a growing baby who is so much fun to be with, going to the movies has been a rare event. So nowadays, I find myself watching a lot of movies on HBO.
That’s how I caught Wanted. It was one of those movies that I wanted to watch on the big screen but never found the time to. Directed by Timur Bekmambetov, who also did Nightwatch and Daywatch, Wanted is quite a visual spectacle (and I am including Angelina Jolie in that). A dead-end office worker who turns into a deadly assasin, James McAvoy’s Wesley Gibson realises he can bend bullets like Beckham. It was a fun movie, though I thought James McAvoy’s baby-faced assasin look could have been grunged-up a bit.
Available now as a PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 game, this crossover game features characters like Baraka, Jax, Kitana, Raiden and gang against DC Comics stars Batman, Superman, Wonder Women, Catwoman and the rest. Once Hollywood has milked all the comics’ characters in a few years time, I am sure they will turn to the world of crossover stories to try and make more money. Just wait and see…
Amazon Japan has limited edition robot toys made from Amazon shipping boxes for sale at ¥1,000 (about S$15). An authorised customization of the original Revoltech Danboard cardboard robots, the Amazon robots, like the originals, also have a button on the left side of the head which lights up the eyes. Unlike the original toy, I am not sure if this box robot’s can be taken off to reveal any hidden identity — maybe it’d reveal a Japanese looking Jeff Bezos?
Ugh.
So a couple days (or was it weeks) ago, I saw this comic from the ever excellent xkcd and thought it was pretty funny. Today, I find out that YouTube really implemented it!
The audio playback is pretty good (though it unsurprisingly muddles through lorem ipsum text). One can only hope users guilty of idiot comments will suffer unspeakable blows to their self-esteem from this new feature.

Oh, you should also check out the webcam feeds from the LHC.
