J and I were talking last night and since Superman Returns just opened we got on the topic of best comic villains of all time. Without any further ado here is my top ten comic villains.
10. Identity Crisis Villain – Since this book is only a few years old and there are so many who have not read it (shame on you) I won’t give away the culprit. Let’s just say this whodunit has a antagonist you won’t suspect.9. Onslaught – Some think that Onslaught was lame they may be right. But to almost destroy the entire Marvel universe...
Congratulations to the Miami Heat for disproving all doubters and winning four straight against a tough Dallas team. Wade was simply incredible this series averaging thirty-four points a game and hitting clutch shot after clutch shot. Of course I'm happy for Shaq and Riley who both promised a championship when they rolled into town but I'm really happy for Zo. For so long he was the face of Miami basketball: tough defense and all heart. He showed that face in game six where he comes into the game fourteen points down and gives Miami an emotional lift with blocked shots and...
Ricky Brigante from the excellent Inside The Magic podcast (a podcast on Walt Disney World) has decided to decorate a room in his house in a Tomorrowland theme. What a fantastic idea! I wish I would have thought of doing that while we were remodeling. Alexa might have been sleeping in Fantasyland or maybe the Haunted Mansion. Heh Heh Heh.

I have no idea what it is but it seems like there have been a ton more videos being posted on the blogs that I frequent. The latest vid is from John Dvorak's blog and features a cat and a ceiling fan. I later found out that this clip is taken from a Nokia commercial and it apears that the cat is ok. But I'm assuming it now only has eight lives left.
Even though I thought Napoleon Dynamite was a sub par movie it did have its moments of genius. One of those moments is recreated in the Xbox best game Halo 2. Click and enjoy. Via XBox360Fanboy.
I caught this performance by newcomer Gnarles Barkley during the MTV Movie Awards on Thursday night. Gnarles Barkey is the collaboration between DJ Danger Mouse whose Grey Album mixed Jay-Z's Black Album with the Beatles White Album and Cee-Lo a veteran songwriter/producer/singer. What made this performance memorable was that each of the performers were wearing Star Wars costumes. Vader, rebel pilots, Imperial commanders, Jango Fett, a Jedi Knight and yes a Wookie were represented in the one song set. It was an impressive scene. You can see it for yourself below. Via Digg.
I'm not a big fan of all of these net quizzes. Most are poorly written and predictable. But this one, the X-Men Personality Quiz, is well written and the variety of X characters could lead to some interesting results. What if you were like Longshot, Marrow or even Northstar? Geesh. Luckily, I'm most like my favorite X-Man Scott Summers. Any surprise here? Via J's del.icio.us site.

A few weeks ago the rechargeable battery pack on two of my Xbox 360 controllers decided to stop charging. After a few days of trying to recharge them I swapped them out for AA batteries and went on with my life. Yesterday, I was talking to ALow his battery pack was doing the same thing. After a bit of googling I found this knowledge base article which describes some possible solutions for the battery pack problem. The document suggested to “use a cotton swab and some isopropyl alcohol to clean the four gold contacts on the Xbox 360 Rechargeable Battery...
One of the editors from 1up.com was recently on DL.TV and spoke very highly of NCAA Football 2007 for the XBox 360. So I decided to Google a bit and see if I can find a preview of the game. Of course Google knows all and IGN has an excellent write up on the new version of my favorite football game. According to the article, EA sent a team of people to photograph and measure seventy different stadiums. They also used satellites to capture the sun position to add photorealistic detail to the game. EA has also done away...
Hey folks, this is just a reminder that I've recently added a bunch of photos up on my Flickr site. So if you've been wondering just what the Rumps have been up to over the past few months head on over there or just browse the best of the best below.
