ZOMBIES!!
If you're like me, you're constantly afraid of zombies. I mean, an earthquake could hit L.A. any second and destroy almost everything and people prepare for that, right? Well if people think earthquakes are so dangerous and scary, what about zombies? In my opinion, they are much more of a threat than stupid earthquakes or terrorist attacks or what-have-you.
Now imagine zombies have started to take over. Right now. What do you do? You're probably scared shitless right now aren't you. I'm telling you. You HAVE TO be prepared. And I know there are stupid little books out there telling you how to survive attacks or whatever, but don't you want something useful? Something that can come in handy while you wait for zombies to attack?
Enter the Zombie Escape Plan notebook. This thing has 150 sheets of blank paper, with 100 more pages of extremely useful information in case of a zombie attack. With this notebook, you can not only, idono, keep a to do list and jot down random thoughts, but you'll also be ready.
EDIT: ummm..after writing this, I went to the site for it again and I kinda realized that the item sold out on 9.20.07. Sooooooo you can either beg the guy to make more, and if not, I guess we're all screwed. Sorry.

Death Cab album art
For the 0 people that checked out the link for the new Death Cab album leak (I had to do the rickroll since it's suddenly all over the internet again), here is the actual album art from their upcoming album, Narrow Stairs. So for you 0 people out there, this one's for you.(via Stereogum)
Wow
Checking out Pitchfork the other day, I saw some stills from Bjork's new (3D) music video for "Wanderlust". These pictures look amazing. I like Bjork..she's not my favorite musician, but I like her. I think she's cool, definitely odd, but cool. Anyway, there's nothing else to really say, other than the 3D version will be available on her upcoming DVD (with glasses included!), but the 2D version will be on Yahoo as of March 31st. Enjoy!Link to article and like one more picture

...Flying Whales
Get a whole buncha scientists together to discuss possibilities of extraterrestrial life and what do you get? This:
"Blue Moon" is a planet more like Earth, but with much more oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, allowing both plants and animals to grow bigger than on Earth. The air is extremely dense, allowing all sorts of animals to fly, such as so-called sky whales, which have nine-metre wingspans and fly using echolocation. They hover above thick "pagoda" forests, which stand at an astonishing 1,000 meters.This article, which is pretty cool (definitely makes you think), is about an exhibition from London that's opening soon in Montreal. It talks about the potential for life on two specific planets that are relatively close to the make-up of Earth.

Remember Chalkzone?..I was never a really big fan of that cartoon.
Chalk is cool right? Also, boards can be cool. So I guess that means chalkboards are pretty damn cool.
Now. Take the coolness of chalkboards and throw in mobility, walls, and adhesive. What do you get? This thing.It's an adhesive chalkboard. You can stick it on any wall and go crazy. Make a weekly schedule like in the picture, draw murals, keep a journal, whatever. It beats having to wander classrooms at night to get your fix of chalkboard drawing (Not that I do that..).

Did Steve tell you that?....Steve
Since I started watching the show again last night, and since this was posted today on Neatorama, I felt like it should be shared.
(Anyone that thinks this show tails off in...umm..let's use the dvds for measure...disc 2, is incorrect)
