Unfortunately the swirly light thing over Norway wasn’t a visitor from outer-space. You crazy-ass Scientologists will have to wait for Xenu…turns out the spiral was just a little Ruskie submarine launched ballistic missile (SLBM) that failed..

Per the BBC:

“A Russian test launch of an intercontinental missile has failed, resulting in a white light seen over parts of Norway. The submarine-based Bulava ballistic missile failed when launched from the White Sea, the Defence Ministry’s press office told Itar-Tass news agency. Russian newspapers had earlier reported the failure. At least six of 13 previous tests also ended in failure. The Bulava can carry six individually targeted nuclear warheads. It is designed to have a range of 10,000km (6,200 miles), but its repeated failures have caused embarrassment for Russia which hoped it would support its nuclear deterrent. “

Great! Just a little SLBM mishap. Let’s just assume that Russia and the States are buddies (or over 10,000km apart) and get back to worrying about Tiger Woods.

I’m going to side with the realists and say that this is likely due to a rocket, (exhaust, or out-gassing payload) and not a UFO…

Got any Hulkamaniacs on your X-Mas list?

For a mere $5, you will have him/her more pumped up than Big John Stud after winning the $15,000 body slam match against Andre the Giant in Wrestlemania 1. Look it up, little Hulksters.

I’ve been a BlackBerry fanboi for quite a while. With my Pearl nearing the end of it’s life…the question becomes Sexxy Storm…

Or Dirty Droid

I originally assumed it would be a no-brain victory for the Storm 2 and it’s improved function over Gen 1. Since I don’t use BB Messenger, I have lately been thinking the the $199 Droid might be the way to go. I have put my RIM phones through hell in the past, and definitely like that aspect over anything I have seen from Motorola. I basically just need something with a good enough OS to not lock up Pandora and Opera Mini…not sure that the Droid is what I totally need right now.

Vote: If I was making the move today…it would be for the Storm. Not a big fan of the Google team right now, and RIM has been very good to me.

Got a fan? An antiquated pointy skateboard? An afternoon? Neon spray paint.

1. pull apart the fan case…a dangerous Rad Board is a good Rad Board
2. replace fan blades with small, sharp, non-menacing looking blades
3. hook above components to the less-pointy end of a pointy skate board
4. put a propane tank looking thing on it with some tubes hooking to the non-spray painted stuff
5. spray anything neon yellow that looks boring, in order to awesome things up a bit
6. fire up the fan and tear ass around the block

Adsense booted me for too many clicks per page…

So long. I’ll take my fracking business to Amazon…might even do some blog-vertising…who knows?
