This is a tumblelog, kinda like a blog but with short-form, mixed-media posts with stuff I like. Scroll down a bit to start reading, or a bit more to read more about me.
Certainly very popular. But not exactly clever. And what kid that likes those crap movies can afford an Audi? Someone got away with it.
My rating is
1. Acura

In the car race for best superbowl commercial
Audi 2012 Game Day Commercial - Vampire Party (by AudiofAmerica)

Wins my vote. Very good
2012 Acura NSX Super Bowl Commercial - featuring Jerry Seinfeld (by CitizenSlide)
great concept
We can expect to see the Shazam logo in conjunction with a number of brands this Super Bowl Sunday. In fact, I say the over/under is five and I’ll take the over. You?
Bud Light is using the Shazam app to give away one million downloads at halftime and to tease a special musical guest….which will definitely be LMFAO based on the spot. Will they collaborate with Madonna? Not sure I’m going to like that pairing.
I find the fact that they did it more amazing than the footage. We need to raise more kids saying “what if…”

Lego man in space: one (very) small step
Two teenagers from Toronto sent a Lego man carrying a Canadian flag into the stratosphere. Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad, both 17, attached four cameras to a balloon carrying the toy astronaut 24km above Earth. A week after launch they recovered their Lego man in a field, and discovered they had captured stunning space footage
Following this wonderful video, Guardian Comment asks its readers what their most memorable childhood video was.

NASA’s Kepler telescope finds 26 new planets
Kepler, NASA’s planet-hunting space telescope, has found 11 new planetary systems, including one with five planets all orbiting closer to their parent star than Mercury circles the Sun, scientists said on Thursday.
The discoveries boost the list of confirmed planets outside the Earth’s solar system to 729, including 60 found by the Kepler team. The telescope, launched in space in March 2009, can detect slight but regular dips in the amount of light coming from stars. Scientists can then determine if the changes are caused by orbiting planets passing by, relative to Kepler’s view.
Kepler scientists have another 2,300 candidate planets awaiting additional confirmation. (Photos/illustrations by NASA/Ames/JPL-Caltech; University of Toulouse; Reuters/AFP/Getty Images)
Senator Janet Howell, Baddass Bitch of the Day
To protest a bill that would require women to undergo an ultrasound before having an abortion, Virginia State Sen. Janet Howell (D-Fairfax) on Monday attached an amendment that would require men to have a rectal exam and a cardiac stress test before obtaining a prescription for erectile dysfunction medication.
“We need some gender equity here,” she told HuffPost. “The Virginia senate is about to pass a bill that will require a woman to have totally unnecessary medical procedure at their cost and inconvenience. If we’re going to do that to women, why not do that to men?”
