quickly... some cool stuff

i'm crazy sunburnt from my afternoon sailing trip yesterday. good stories to be told, but that'll be in a day or two. until then, i ran across these and thought they were pretty cool.

i SOOOO want this zombie shirt. fantastic marketing!

and this link talks about a renewable energy concept that would totally rock to see implemented. it's based on bikes being used to charge batteries which then charge electric buses. people ride bikes in europe all the time, we should start doing that in the US.

zombie strippers?!

if you were to ask some of my closest friends to list two of my favorite things (besides sex), odds are pretty fair that they might come up with strippers and zombies. so imagine my surprise when i found this trailer online. starring robert englund (freddy kruger from "a nightmare on elm street" fame) and jenna jameson (if you don't know where she's from... i can't help you). the story looks cheesy enough to be not-entirely painful to watch, and there are also good odds there will be bewbz. i'm guessing it'll be straight to video, so i'll have to try to find it when i get home. i can't wait.

zed heads

that's the term max brooks uses for zombies. i like zombie movies, particularly newer ones but still, i can appreciate the older ones as well. while we were working in india, jules was even nice enough to get me a zombie movie collection when she went on her R&R.

i'm currently reading "world war Z: an oral history of the zombie war" by max brooks. in it, he tours around the world after the big zombie war interviewing the people who battled and survived the war, and how they did it. i know it sounds kinda dumb, but i think it is a good book. for those who think zombies don't exist so reading the book is goofy, granted zombies may not exist but there are possibilities like things such as super-flus that could ravage the world in a similar fashion. i believe this is his second book, his first being "the zombie survival guide". i think that might be my next book purchase. i'm gonna be prepared.

anyways, if you want to get some ideas on how to protect yourself from the living dead, you can check out the zombie initiative. it's all in good fun, but there are some good ideas collected there that would be useful even in severe emergencies or evacuations. if you check it out, tell me how you like it and if i'm paranoid/crazy.
