If you haven't voted yet, go do it. Like right now. I'll still be here when you get back, no worries. And, if you live in New York or Seattle, go collect your free sex toy afterwards. Ah, democracy.

To encourage your involvement in the democratic process, Babeland is offering a Get Out the Vote Special Giveaway!!


Stop by any brick and mortar store (New York or Seattle) between November 4th and 11th and bring your voter registration card, voting stub or word of honor. If you voted, we'll give you a Silver Bullet or a Maverick Sleeve (get it?) for free! Yes, free. It's because we value voting that much. Sex toys for voting, only the satisfaction of having helped ensure your country's future can be better than that.

I have no idea what a Maverick Sleeve or Silver Bullet is, but they sound, well, awesome. And they're free! Then, when you candidate loses, you can [insert joke about getting f***ed in more ways than one for the next four years].

GO VOTE!

Thanks to Jennie, who's upset she doesn't live in Seattle or New York.

Nov 4 2008 Get Out And Vote (For Lando Calrissian)!

Well folks, today's election day. And, if you haven't already, you need to go vote. Now get out there and rock out with your democracy loving penis out. Just kidding, totally wait till you're in the booth. This is a series of political ads run by Sentator Palpatine and Lando Calrissian during this year's election. They feature the real Lando (Billy Dee Williams) and bear a striking similarity to our current election. Who will win? Will I have to leave the country? Will I go somewhere tropical? Somewhere with good health care? Wait, I'm getting ahead of myself -- GO VOTE. Unless you're Canadian, in which case, vote twice.

Vote for Lando Calrissian! w/ BILLY DEE WILLIAMS [funnyordie]

Thanks to The Superficial Writer, who keeps this democracy running strong the only way he knows how: with boobs.

May 12 2008 Is This What A Real Sonic Would Look Like?

From the same artist that brought us the realistic Bowser painting, comes this one of Sonic The Hedgehog. He even included a little pixelated version of what a more realisitc hedgehog would have looked like in game.

The biggest challenge about this one was, that the original Sonic looks everything but realistic. He is so stylized, that it's hard to tell if he is a hedgehog at all. This made it hard to find a middle course between the initial design and the look of a real hedgehog.


In the end I decided to give him a color-pattern that resembles a West European Hedgehog but facial proportions that stick to Sonic himself. His white gloves and the red shoes he kept as another link to the original, but the shoes underwent a little redesign. In addition his body looks like that of a runner, making it more believable that he can run at such high speeds.

So, what do you think? Good, bad, or ugly? I can't really judge since I was caught soliciting my vote in return for "inappropriate" favors during a bikini contest. So yeah, banned from judging.

Jan 25 2008 Geekologie: 2008 Tech Blog Of The Year

bloggies.jpg

Well by divine miracle (and my l33t haxoring) Geekologie has been nominated for a Bloggie in the 2008 Best Computers or Technology category. I would like to thank you all for your support and urge you to take a trip over to the Bloggies website and cast a vote for Geekologie. As you can see we're up against some pretty stiff competition. Real stiff. Stiff as hell. The big dogs. But like that story in the bible where the one little dude eats six dozen eggs and a gallon of milk to beat the other bigger dude in the eating contest, you never know.

And if by some fluke Geekologie does win I hereby swear I'll pound an entire fifth of bourbon and convince my girlfriend to have a threesome. I'll even take pictures. Hell, I may even hire Sears Portrait Studio -- after all, this is the bigtime. Now get out there and vote so we can stick it to the man. And by 'the man' I mean my father. He still thinks I'm just some loser that lives in the basement and steals his beer.
