Solar charger for every damn thing.
This thing can charge your iPod, camera, phone, and Game Boy all in the same little package. For only around $100, plus the cost of the connectors, this is the coolest gadget I've seen in a while AND it's earth-friendly. Who don't like the erf???

Let Me Clarify
Hopefully you all have watched the King Kong trailer I posted. If not, use the little bit of effort it takes to scroll down two inches and click on the damn link I went through no trouble at all to put up for you.
This preview looks awesome in many ways, but it also makes visible the many flaws in Peter Jackson's (read: the guy who did Lord Of The Rings) take on the classic monster movie. First of all, Jack Black is playing a serious, or somewhat serious, role. This is a big mistake almost on par with Adam Sandler showing up in Punch Drunk Love with a "good dramatic performance." I wanted to laugh at Adam Sandler so much in that movie that I laughed at inappropriate times in the theater, often troubling and frightening the audience around me. Jack Black should stick to what he is good at; eating hamburgers and making people laugh.
Peter Jackson apparently had some outstanding contracts from Lord Of The Rings that he had to fulfill with his next movie, and it hurts the overall feel of the new King Kong. Apparently the Urukai from LOTR had a multi-picture deal with Jackson and his studio, because they show up in King Kong as well, but this time around we get to see the hot lady Urukai, which we were left fantasizing about from the LOTR film trilogy:
Another theory is that this is in fact Jackson's new girlfriend who demanded a part in his new picture in exchange for that new sex position Jackson has really wanted to try but had been too shy to ask about in bed.
The last, and perhaps most dissapointing, part about the King Kong trailer is the depiction of everyone's favorite dinosaur, the T. Rex. Anyone who has seen the original King Kong knows that the big gorilla fights a T.Rex in the jungles. What's sad is that the effects people spent so much time making King Kong look realistic that they just went half-assed on the T.Rex. Jurassic Park pretty much demanded that from then on out if you were gonna make dinosaurs with computers, you had to do it their way or not at all. One gander at the T.Rex from King Kong and everyone is going to say "The one in Jurassic Park looked better." Take a look for yourself:
I still really want to see King Kong, but I'm a realist, so I know that it will never be better than my favorite movie of all time, Back To The Future.

The crowds must be pleased
Brandon is the first to utilize the chat feature on the side of the page. It's a great way to leave me feedback and let me know what you'd like to change or what you'd like to see more of. I need to get in the habit of posting more often...and this site is also probably gonna change looks once again and head in the direction of simplicity...I'm preparing for the fall when I'm really gonna charge into Whitman's community and try to be the number-one source of mis-information on campus.
Brandon wants pictures, so he's gonna get pictures. I'll be taking some over the next few days, but I'll whet your appetites with a picture of a crazy sight from last weekend...
You're right. That's a goddamned peacock running around on Whitman's campus. I don't know where it came from, but it was just making all sorts of trouble in the neighborhood. That ususally necessitates calling the Ghostbusters, but since it was a non-paranormal peacock, someone just shooed it off of the road. It was later captured and eaten by a band of hobos.

Whack-It King
Bring a chapter of the Whack-It King Tournament to your hometown today! Don't know how Whack-It King works? Let me give you a brief history of this tournament.
Many years ago, I played on a state-champion high school football team. We had a lot of free time, so one day several guys invented the Whack-It King Tournament. The WIKT, as it came to be known, is a tournament in which you compete with other contestants to see who can masturbate the most in one single day. The person who sets the record becomes the Whack-It King until someone else REGISTERED in the tournament beats the previous score. I stress the REGISTERED mark because only registered contestants/teams are allowed to compete for the crown...no un-confirmed contestants can hold the Whack-It King title. The WIKT has team and individual crowns. The team crown is awarded to pairs of any sex who provide manual stimulation to each other the most times in a day. It's like a title for getting to 2nd base the most times in one day. The individual title, the real meat-and-potatoes of the tournament, is the most sought-after prize. If you manage to get registered with an active chapter, you may begin competing immediately to gain the crown, which is made of solid gold plastic and has several genuine replica gems set into it.
This tournament is open only to people of high esteem and honor, because you are trusted to be truthful in reporting your scores. There are no referees or judges, simply your peers in the WIKT to judge the truthfulness of your score. It is true that adding 1 here-or-there to your score may not be noticed, but the true WIKT contestant needs no such boost to compete among the elite.
