Awesome:
What is a “nerf herder?” you may be asking yourself. From Wikipedia:
...a “nerf herder” is a fictional occupation referred to by Princess Leia in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, when she insults Han Solo for arrogantly asserting that she has romantic feelings for him: “Why you stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf herder!” In the Star Wars Expanded Universe, a nerf herder is a lower class outdoorsman who spends his days safeguarding the nerfs on various planets across the universe. They can best be compared to the American cowboy or shepherds of old in their steadfast pursuit of an independent lifestyle. They generally wear old, worn out work clothes and carry simple projectile weapons as well as staves they use to drive obstinate nerfs out of their hiding places. Due to their significant skills in fieldcraft and gunplay, as well as not having the resources to bathe and change their clothes often, the rest of the “civilized” universe looks down upon them.

The new trailer, allegedly attached to POTC3, which means I’ll have to see it to see the trailer, cause waiting another 1.5 months to see the whole movie on July 4th is just too long of a wait, pretty much rocked my socks off. I mean, you can’t really go wrong with giant robots wreaking havoc on the street of Los Angeles. Check it out here.
I bow to you Optimus Prime!

So, this isn’t a rant on Dr. Phil, as much as I would like it to be. Rather, it is to announce that I bought 2 tickets for a panel at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books next Sunday, April 29th, with Dr. Phil. Specifically, it is entitled: “Dr. Phil McGraw in Conversation with Mitch Albom.”
Why I did this I do not know.
I actually wanted to attend a panel with Kirk Douglas, but at 10am, I don’t think i’d make it out to UCLA in time. Dr. Phil seemed like the next best thing. Hopefully they’ll allow cameras.

From a blog post on MichaelBay.com (which of course I am subscribed to via RSS feed and read faithfully), two Transformers TV ads have been released.
I’m not a big fan of Starscream’s new updated look. He looks weird. Oh look, here he is at Hoover Dam.
Here’s Shia looking up at Bumblebee. Dang, he is crazy huge, but he looks dope.
A little bit more eye candy in the clips. Theres also a split second shot of Optimus beginning his transformation, but I left that out cause not much is shown. Check them out.

UPDATE: Now with YouTube video goodness.
UPDATE 2: Daniel Sadek, owner of the Enzo and financier/producer of the film Redline, and Eddie Griffin, comment on the accident. See below.
This post is for all the people coming to my website searching for “Ferrari Enzo Crash Irwindale” on Google. I had no idea what this was about, so I dug around the Interweb and found this story on cbs.com.
Eddie Griffin ‘Crashes’ Charity Event With Ferrari
(CBS) IRWINDALE, Calif. Actor and comedian Eddie Griffin crashed a pricey Ferrari sports car Monday evening during rehearsals for part of a rehearsal for a charity event called “Race For a Cause” at the Irwindale Speedway.
The blurry picture above is a screen-shot from the cbs.com video showing said Enzo getting a bit of air after hitting a barrier. Here’s a video of the incident. Embedded video coming as soon as someone gets around to posting it on YouTube.
Eddie, Eddie, Eddie…
This is turning into a raging epidemic. With this one headed to the junkyard, or the Wrecked Enzo Hall of Fame, I think we have somewhere around 390-395 Enzos left in the world. When will Enzo owners get it into their heads that unless you are a professional race car driver, you shouldn’t be racing these machines on the race track or on the street. It’s just not going to work out well for you.
Daniel Sadek, Eddie Griffin, and others talk:
