ApriPoko, this unbearably cute remote control from (where else) Japan can tell when you’re using another remote control, and actually asks you what you just did. You tell it (for example, “I turned up the volume on the TV”), and it records the infared signal that the other remote sent out. Then if you later tell ApriPoko, “Turn up the volume on the TV,” it emits that exact same infrared signal to the TV!

Heart Felt Robots makes all kinds of robot-themed cuteness. Check it out! (and not just because she’s one of my best friends!)

I’m going to have to describe this move in unfortunately vague terms, because I dare not give away anything that happens. Make no mistake: you will not be able to predict No Country For Old Men. [Read my full review here]

Spy Hunter,
You’re MY hunter!
You make my spies go away.

(Thanks, Ryan)

So this new(ish) website Hulu is offering a whole bunch of TV shows and movies that you can watch online for free (some have limited commercial breaks). There are some really interesting choices, such as Andy Richter’s cancelled Andy Barker, P.I. show!

It also has all of the original Battlestar Galactica episodes (plus the last five or six from season 3 of the new version), The Time Tunnel, Buck Rogers, Johnny Sokko and His Flying Robot, the live-action The Tick, and the controversial Exo Squad cartoon!
