I loved The Dark Knight, but this YouTube spoof of the Joker’s interrogation scene perfectly skewers one of the most laughable parts of the film: Christian Bale’s Batman voice.
SomaFM.com, one of my favorite streaming Internet radio sites, now has a new channel available called “Christmas Lounge“.
They describe the channel as “Chilled holiday grooves and classic winter lounge tracks. (Kid and Parent safe!)” and so far it’s been an interesting mix of remixed Christmas music with a dance and electronic feel, interspersed with old holiday music that I haven’t come across being played on the regular radio stations.

A classic clip from Jim Henson and company.
Nearly every free hour I’ve had since the the release of Fallout 3 has been spent wandering the post-apocalyptic wastelands portrayed in the action-RPG game world created by Bathesda.
I absolutely did not expect to be as swept up by the amazing atmosphere and story created by the developers, yet I would often find myself staring at my computer screen late into the night, wishing for just a little more time to explore one more undiscovered area in the game’s barren and war-torn landscape.
In many ways, the highest compliment I can give to the game is that it makes me look forward to re-entering it’s bleak world as soon as I get home from work.

After a few weeks of setup, the Meister House is ready for Halloween 2008. Since we had the lights up to show to some friends, I took a few minutes to walk through the setup to show both our indoor and outdoor decorations.
We’ve got over a hundred animated figures inside the garage, all waiting for the kids to come and press their buttons or trigger their light sensors. Outside, we’ve got animated skeletons, giant inflatable decorations and a new entry: the computerized graveyard light show.
I’m looking forward to seeing the kids and their families and friends that always make the Halloween night a lively one here at the Meister House.
