It appears that Microsoft has pulled out all the stops on their ads for the new Internet Explorer 8. Starring Dean Cain, from Lois and Clark, the ads promote the some of the new functionality of IE 8. My favorite one is the last one shown below.

Dean Cain is my Hero
June 30th, 2009Dark June
June 30th, 2009It has been a dark June, especially the past week as we have had to say goodbye to some of the most well known celebrities in our lives. I honestly do not recall the last time when so many have left us is such a short period of time.
The biggest name of course is Michael Jackson. Although his life has been marred by controversy and lawsuits, i will choose to remember him for his contributions to the music industry. without MJ a large majority of the music and artists that I enjoy would not be here.
Farrah Fawcett, also left us last week from a lengthy battle with cancer. A sex symbol from the 70’s which will be missed.
My earliest memories of Ed McMahon was watching him host “Super Bloopers and Practical Jokes” with Dick Clark. He was most famous for being Johnny Carson’s right hand man and hosting Star Search. I bid you a big HEYO Mr. McMahon.
Other celebrity we have lost this month include Billy Mays and David Carridine.

K-on
June 29th, 2009
K-ON has ended this week and now I don’t have a weekly anime to watch anymore…
K-ON is a story based around a light music club in a school in Japan. Each of its band members have their own quirks… all typical in most animes.
This is one of those slice of life animes that some people will not really enjoy as there is no plot. It’s like Lucky Star minus the randomness. We have the girls going thru there personal struggles while trying to keep the group and the club going. Throw in a teacher which was in the club when she was a student with their own quirks and you have a series.
I personally enjoyed it because of the soundtrack and the ending song got stuck in my head real early.
Azumanga Daioh
June 6th, 2009I actually finished watching this series a couple months back.
The reason I wanted to watch this anime is because of the AMV hell videos that are out on the web, you can search YouTube or Veoh if you want to see them.
It reminded me alot of Lucky Star as the show was about nothing. Also the dream sequences are some of the best ones that will make you laugh. If you like turning off your brain, as I do, then I would reccomend watching this.

R.I.P. David Carradine
June 5th, 2009
As most of you know David Carradine was reported dead yesterday.
As the news sites will remind us of Carradine’s career and the roles that he played, most notably Bill from Kill Bill. I will always remember him as Kwai Chang Caine from Kung Fu and Kung Fu: The Legend Continues.
R.I.P. Grasshopper… you will be missed.
