Even Babies Love The Wii

My niece Liana can’t get enough of the Wii even though her mommy and daddy were nice enough to bring one home last Xmas. She knows where the local video game store is and when we are near she runs to the store shouting “Wii”. If we don’t go inside and play she gets upset. Once in the store she asks to be picked up so she can play the Wii. Here she is playing Super Mario Galaxy with a little help from daddy. Although the picture doesn’t really show it, she does understand that swinging the Wiimote around will make Mario do stuff.

Scorpion Russian Submarine

After the Star Trek show, we walked around the Queen Mary area and stumbled upon the Scorpion Russian Submarine. It looked interesting and we decided to take a look inside.

Here’s the front torpedo bay.

The torpedos were surprisingly big.

The dining room is a bit cramped.

But still better than the toilet.

If things get bad, you can always put on the escape suit and climb through the torpedo tubes.

The rest of the pictures can be found the gallery.

Star Trek!

Went to Star Trek the Tour this weekend with my friends Nick and Marcella. Here we are on the set on the original series bridge showing off our best Trek moves. The show had a lot of props and costumes from all the different Trek shows and movies. They even had a couple of simulator rides (think Star Tours) . Only odd thing was that the show was next to the Queen Mary in the dome that use to house the Spruce Goose.

Sittin’ At The Airport Feelin’ Old

So I’m sitting in the airport waiting for my flight when New Order’s Bizarre Love Triangle comes on. Can’t believe that New Order is now mainstream, easy listening, background music. Back in high school they were considered a cool band. Guess the 80s are now a novelty period just like we use to think of the 50s and 60s when I was younger.

Indy!

Wow, Harrison Ford doesn’t look old at all. The trailer looks really good. Hopefully Shia LaBeouf as Indy’s son won’t be too annoying.

New Elmo Toy Is Awesome

Check out the new Elmo toy. He sings, he dances, he sits, and he stands by himself. Watch the first video with Elmo rapping and doing jazz hands. Be sure to watch the video again but focus on the creepy actor dude behind Elmo. Thats one weird, nerdy dude with zero rhythm!
