Pixar, move over.
Fantastic Mr. Fox (directed by Wes Anderson, based on a Roald Dahl book) looks like it’s going to be a great movie. I’m even more interested after reading this article in the LA Times about Anderson’s directing technique and how he pushed the animators to have an extremely detailed, non-technological look to the film. ”…

Cadbury Eggs – a conspiracy!
Ok, so I probably eat about one of these every two to three years. But I thought this was hilarious. It’s also good to see BJ Novak is a little different than the character he plays on the Office :).

Spend money, get something.
I’m at a stage in life where I want less stuff, not more. But if you, say, have $10 laying around and just want to buy something with it, you need to check out SomethingStore.com. You pay them $10 and they send you, well, something. I like the Something Tracker, where you can see what…
