Team Edward or Team Jacob?

noreply@blogger.com (Patrick Hiller) — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 21:18:00 +0000

Which side are you on? The new movie in the Twilight Saga, New Moon, has young girls, not so young house wives and even some guys torn between two of the characters, Jacob and Edward.

Whether or not the story is any good, or the acting is up to par, there is one thing that may bring these people into the theater and the battle between Edward and Jacob. The fact that they appear shirtless in the movie. Frequently. Sex sells, and Twilight isn't the exception (to be fair, neither is Whee! Design).

So which side do you come down on, Team Edward or Team Jacob?

American Idol's Final Two - Adam Lambert & Kris Allen

noreply@blogger.com (Patrick Hiller) — Thu, 14 May 2009 03:15:00 +0000

Next week's season finale of Idol will find Adam Lambert and Kris Allen battling it out for the title of American Idol.
The final two will each sing 3 songs in an attempt to get your vote. So who is your favorite? Are you a Glambert or a member of the ALLENation? The Whee! Chick loves them both.

What about the judges on American Idol? Which of them is your favorite? If you said Simon, then there's nothing we can do for you. He's hand's off in terms of fan merchandise. But the Paula Abdul, Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi are all fair game.

American Idol Coming down to the Wire

noreply@blogger.com (Patrick Hiller) — Tue, 05 May 2009 04:25:00 +0000

Season 8 of Fox's huge hit reality television series is coming up on it's grand finale. This week is Rock Week and there is talk of the Idols not only performing solo numbers, but teaming up with each other to take on a duet. That will be a first in American Idol history and it will be interesting to see what the match ups are going to be. There are 4 contestants left and they are among the most talented the series has seen.

Adam Lambert, who's fans are known as "Glamberts", is the favorite to win, but there have been upsets in Idol's past. Superstar, Chris Daughtry was headed for the top and ended up in 4th place. Adam's frequent "mixing up" of traditional favorites have caused quite a polarization in Idol fans. Many either love him or hate him.

Kris Allen fell into the bottom three last week along with Adam in what some have called a bid by the shows producers to boost votes for the two. Who knows for sure, but the "Allenation" will be fighting very hard to keep their favorite in the race.

Allison Iraheta is the only female left in the competition and is the youngest of the 4 being only 17. She was 16 when she started her American Idol journey and recently had a birthday. For someone so young, she has an incredible talent and performs like she's been doing it for years. Allison's raspy, rock and roll voice has earned her many fans.

Danny Gokey was an early favorite from the initial auditions, but his star may be falling. Web site, VoteForTheWorst.com now has him as THEIR favorite as they feel he is the least talented. It remains to be seen if they can get ahead of the fan bases of Adam and Kris.

Swine Flu or H1N1 - Dont Blame the Pig

noreply@blogger.com (Patrick Hiller) — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 19:44:00 +0000

So with all the media and internet coverage of the "Swine Flu", the pig has been getting the short end of the stick. There is news that Egypt has ordered the slaughter of the country's 300,000 pigs. Even though there has, as of yet, been no reported cases there. The official name of the flu, given by the CDC, is the H1N1 Flu. The virus can easily move between bird, pig and human and this strain probably didn't originate from a pig. Birds are the most common carriers of flu viruses that can hit humans hard. But while humans are not susceptible to all bird flu strains, pigs are. Once the pig gets it, the virus can transform into a strain more likely to hit humans.

With a growing number of cases in the US and around the world, we're not sure how far the break out is going to go. The World Health Organization raised its pandemic flu alert again Wednesday to phase 5, which denotes that a pandemic is "imminent." On Thursday, WHO reported that the number of lab-confirmed cases worldwide rose to 236, up from 148 on Wednesday. So whether you are one of the people running scared, wearing masks and locking yourself in your house or you are one of the ones who really isn't impressed with the hype and media induced fear, just remember. Don't blame the pig.

Has anyone else seen the video from Household Hacker about how to charge your iPod with an onion and some Gatorade?

I saw it today for the first time when it was a featured story on the homepage at ABCNews.com.

Of course it doesn't work. While it is scientifically possible to get some electricity from vegetables (who hasn't built a potato powered clock?), this one is a bit extreme.

But wouldn't it be nice if we had something as simple as onions to solve our energy problems? Though with Thanksgiving tomorrow and all the food being served, would we still be in an energy crisis as the price of white onions went through the roof to cover the demand?

Anyway, this little tidbit is the inspiration for todays designs. Enjoy!
