If you enjoyed Samorost ‘back in the day’, you’ll love Treasure Box. Crazy music and surreal visuals.

LikeIf you’d been thinking about getting a Disneyland pass so that you can visit the park as often as you’d like during the 50th anniversary celebration next year, you’d better hustle down to Anaheim this weekend.
As of Monday the 18th, new annual pass pricing is as follows:
SoCal Select = $99 (no increase)
SoCal = $149 ($20 increase with fewer blockout dates)
Deluxe = $209 ($30 increase)
Premium = $329 ($50 increase)
So now you just have to visit seven times instead of six to make back the difference on a Premium pass. I was actually expecting something much more dramatic, with the Premium hitting $500, so I’m a little relieved, actually.
In order to get your HAM radio license, you need to pass a multiple choice test.
Sample tests are online. A technician class license is the most basic, and it’s all you’d really need to start talkin’ to people. General and Extra class are way harder, and I think you have to learn morse code for them.
In the days of the Internet, though, getting an amateur radio license seems like a colossal waste of time.
I’ve found a new drink that suits me well.
A well-made classic dry martini is delicious and mind-blowing.
The alcohol content is pretty high though, and I haven’t dared drink more than one per session. One martini in 30 minutes will have me on the floor faster than a handful of gin and tonics will over the course of a few hours. Good fun all the way though.
The dry martini is a classic concoction, and anyone who enjoys gin should love it. Martinis at the Dunst household are free of charge to all visitors.

Beautiful.
When people hear you have a ‘scanner’ they usually think ‘police scanner’. And while it’s true scanners do let you listen to police transmissions, there are many more interesting things to listen to out there. The backstage goings-on at Disneyland, for example.
Nascar fans even use them to listen in on conversations between their favorite drivers and their pit crew. Apparently it’s pretty common to find vendors who rent scanners at racetracks!
CherryOS claims to emulate OSX within Windows XP at 80% of the host processor’s speed.
How they’ve managed to leapfrog PearPC‘s slow progress remains to be seen. The CherryOS site is pretty sparse on details, so the jury’s still out on this one.
The Pet Shop Boys get a bad wrap for being weird.
They may be a little weird…I honestly don’t really know much about the band, but you cannot deny the awesome power of Domino Dancing.
Great song!
