You are not crazy. The world has gone to shit. Here’s why.

“Badges? We don’t need no stinkin’ badges!”
That quote doesn’t mean anything in context to today’s link. It just sounds cool. Maybe it should’ve been the qotd. O, well…

I can’t believe I forgot to post about the technical Oscar awards. These are better than Sunday’s broadcast because it’s all about the nerdy stuff. And it’s hosted, lately, by a hottie. This year’s host was Jessica Biel. Yeah! She’s pretty hot! But not comparable to when Rachel McAdams hosted it a few years back.

Is there a better iPhone earphone? I'm onto my second one, because on the first the rubber around the
earbuds became frayed and fell off making wearing them uncomfortable.
The second pair is a newer update. It's rubberized coating around the
wire makes it less likely to tangle. It's a fine pair, but they too are
starting to fray at the earbuds.My main criteria will be cost. Again, I'm on my second set and I've had
the iPhone for two years. I can't imagine spending $150 for earphones
and then losing them. Or that they suck.And they still need to have the inline remote. That is awesome.http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2009/02/13/replacement-iphone-earphones

Nope. Still got nothing for you guys. Here’s a site about giraffes. They’re cute when six foot seven, but very deadly at seven foot six and beyond. I’m making this stuff up. Again, I’m just linking the first link from google.

I’m bored. I don’t have anything for you today. Here’s something about pandas. I haven’t read the site. I just grabbed the top search from google. And I did see that they’re almost related to raccoons so there you go…

Yotsuba! Is coming again! Stop what you’re doing and run, don’t walk, to your nearest manga retailer to pick up Yotsuba!

Of course, on a day like this, it had to be about Thanatos, the god of death. He’s a young guy with wings, and he goes about indiscriminately taking the lives of fools. Do not blame him for he awaits all of us.

You know of my love of battleships. And you know I’m in my crazy otaku, anime, manga phase. For the last 3 months, because I’ve throttled back my netflix account, I’ve ben watching the anime Zipang. It posits a modern Aegis Guided Missile Destroyer, DDG-182 Mirai, that travels back in time into the middle of World War II. The crew and her ship find themselves in the middle of the Battle of Midway, they find themselves in the middle of the Battle for Guadalcanal, and they find themselves in the middle of changing the future. Will they be able to get back to their time?
Today’s link takes you to the manga for Zipang in the Weekly Morning magazine. It’s all in Japanese, but there’s some cool stuff there like the pictures of the Mirai. They also have some statistics on the ship itself. I like the fact that they are using the MK41 Vertical Launching System. What a cool show!
