Crazy Beach Overcrowding

Not exactly sure what Asian country this is, but check out the overcrowding at the beaches. Madness! Would you go in that water?




Alien Ninjas Coming?

,

I’ve been on the lookout for more about them mysterious Alien Ninjas seen in Hawaii but haven’t found much. They’re supposed to make an appearance at Comic-Con which is starting up this week.

Doing some Googling for the past few days has yielded nada. But today, the domain name alienninja.tv is showing some life. Before, this URL would time out. Now at least, there’s a blank directory listing perhaps indicating more to follow.

Can’t wait to see what secrets the Alien Ninjas hold.

Best Battle Cries

Wired.com has their top ten list of best battle cries. You know, when He-Man yells, “By the power of Greyskull … I have the powerrr!!!” That kind of thing.

The list is okay, but it’s missing some of my favorites like:

“Let’s show’em some thunder!” from the G.I. Joe animated series.

“Knuckle up!” from Matrix Revolutions as the sentinels raided Zion and the exo-skeleton armored humans defended the last free city.

“Three weeks from now, I will be harvesting my crops. Imagine where you will be, and it will be so. Hold the line! Stay with me! If you find yourself alone, riding in the green fields with the sun on your face, do not be troubled. For you are in Elysium, and you’re already dead!” from Gladiator.

“Autobots! Roll out.” from the Transformers.

And the best of all is this “battle cry” which isn’t so much of a verbal cry. But when bad guys heard this, they knew a beat down was coming, and they’d end up as a pile of burnt out gears.

The WNBA Comes of Age

, ,

Whoa, a fight in the WNBA last night with three ejections! Players coming off the benches in defense, coaches trying to separate players. Rick Mahorn, Bill Laimbeer, Michael Cooper involved?! Pistons versus the Lakers all over again.

The NBA is now definitely in the WNBA.

Alien Ninja Sword Action

Watch the Alien Ninja’s sword skills as he defends himself against cosmic shuriken known as grapes on Earth.


On the galactic battlegrounds, you wouldn’t stand a chance against such swordsmanship!

The Secret of Alien Ninjas in Hawaii

,

Who knew there were aliens in Hawaii? Who knew there were ninjas in Hawaii? Who knew there were alien ninjas in Hawaii? What better place to reveal the secret existence of alien ninjas than Secret Island?

While at a picnic at Secret Island, a film crew was at work with some unusual subjects.


These are the Alien Ninjas which hopefully go viral on mobile networks near you. Producers from Los Angeles came to Hawaii to shoot these video segments that are supposed to be shown on mobile networks (aka cell phones). I’m not sure of the plot or story line other than there’s a robot, a male alien ninja, and a female alien that likes fruits (apples, bananas, and pineapples).


The Alien Ninjas are also launching a web site at alienninja.tv (I think, not active yet) and are going to Comic-Con 2008 after this Hawaii production.

Interestingly and coincidentally enough, a fellow alumni was heading the shoot and provided this information (though I probably mangled it after hours in the sun). And although I had to pass on being an extra in the evening luau scene, I did have a campy segment reacting to alien ninjas battling it out so keep an eye out!

PhoneSaber for the iPhone FUN!

No practical purposes for this iPhone app, but PhoneSaber is admittedly fun. Using the built-in accelerometer, your iPhone can sense movement and mimic lightsaber sounds and battles.

Jedi masters around the galaxies are shaking their heads in disgust.

I think you’ll need an iPhone case with a wrist strap (like a Wii remote) for this app. Otherwise, your PhoneSaber might suffer some drops when dueling Darth Vader.

, ,

For completeness purposes, here is the conclusion of the Why I Need an iPhone 2.0 series.

Part 9. I can’t understand what the animals are saying.


Part 10. It’s all about Elmo. He never wants to know about me.


Now that the iPhone 3G is in the house, this series is done, and I’ve discovered 10 faux phones in our household and vehicles.

  1. Part 1. Missing numbers.
  2. Part 2. The princess phone.
  3. Part 3. Lost antenna.
  4. Part 4. Funny ringtones.
  5. Part 5. Talk to Squawky.
  6. Part 6. For Fancy Nancy.
  7. Part 7. Runs Windows SmartPhone OS.
  8. Part 8. Talk to Nemo.

Hitting 100,000

, ,

The Pulpconnection visit-ometer has rolled over surpassing the 100,000 visitor count. Whoa, how humbling. The actual 100,000th visitor viewed the Return of the OG post about rappers Ice-T and Kevin Federline.


Looking back at previous stats, the last major count I took was in December 2007 when Pulpconnection reached 50,000 visitors. Here is the visits timeline:

  • 10,000 visits – November 2006
  • 20,000 visits – May 2007 (6 months later)
  • 30,000 visits – October 2007 (5 months later)
  • 35,000 visits – November 2007 (1 month later)
  • 40,000 visits – November 2007 (17 days later)
  • 50,000 visits – December 2007 (21 days later)
  • 100,000 visits – July 2008 (8 months later)

In graphical form.

During this eight month span, the hottest content was scantily clad men, hot local newscasters, hot kicks, and a hot dancer who farts in public. What a pulpy, eclectic mix.

Lots of posts from days before in 2005, 2006, and 2007. Only one post in 2008 made it to the top.

The top keywords corroborates the top content (kicks and newscasters).
