What I thought was a promising prototype was really an elaborate April Fool’s prank. Either way, a bunch of Star Wars geeks got pissed and pushed for the real deal. According to this article at LA Weekly, the guys are now working with LucasFilm to actually produce the damn thing. Sweet.

DontJudgeMyHair.com is collecting some serious ‘do-eage, like this Hat Hair guy. He was pinned up by my cube for almost a year. Yup, no hot chick pics pinned on my wall. Just weird, hairy dudes. That’s what fuels creative magic. (via AgencySpy)
The first couple frames made me angry. The rest made me click. And smile. And click. And click. I guess it just won the Cannes Cyber Lions Gold. Not too shabby.
Agency: Bridge Worldwide, Cincinnati.

Alright Friënds, what’s he saying? Or Megan? And what about the guy who’s pimp-pulling her away? Leave it in the comments. Best one gets a big, virtual pat on the back. (Thanks, Dylan)
Here’s a crappy one to get you started. I gotta get back to work:
“Take this … it’s from my brother, Jason Bateman. 25 years ago.”

Photoshop: Nic Cage as Pee Wee and Megan Fox Rose Boy
Spotted these off Sutter St on Trinity Place. Ever since I moved here I’d see these all around SF. But they’d be painted over by the time I’d swing by again with a camera. Not this time. Thank you crappy iPhone cam.

SlashFilm has a list of all the fun little references hidden in Pixar’s Up. A lot are super micro in-jokes, but interesting nonetheless. (via Pixar Blog)
Also, SFGate’s The Poop has a neat story-behind-the-story on the Merritt/Oakland bakery Hamburger Cake reference, too. Check it out.
See the complete Wiki list of Pixar film references.
This is my suggestion. See, Conan’s asking for a new Twitter profile icon. And since I’m sure he personally responds to every geek like me, I’m presenting this from one of my favorite episodes. Yeah, I got a thang for ‘staches.
His first LA show is this Monday, June 1. Stoked!
Follow Conan on Twitter. And while you’re there, follow me
and stay on top of the Umlaut.
Man I wanna go explore inside each and every one of these 100 Abandoned Houses. So rad. Beautifully shot, too. Too bad there’s 12,000 more of these all around Detroit. Not so rad. (Via StickerRobot)

For Sale: That House In Ferris Bueller
I grew up in the Chicago suburb of Wilmette, IL; aka The North Shore; aaka the backlot for every John Hughes flick this side of 1980. Ferris, Breakfast Club, Weird Science, Uncle Buck … So when I saw this house for sale, I immediately looked for the PayPal button. I mean a 42×35 Family Room? Cozy, but it’ll do.
Go check out the pics and specs. ‘Cuz you know what’ll happen if you don’t. The realtor will keep callin’. Keep callin’. Make you feel guilty. And you’ll say, I’ll go. I’ll go. I’ll go. I’ll go … (Thanks, Jen Small W!)
BONUS MP3 Because you know you love it:
The Golden Gate Bridge opened on this day in 1937. I’ve been crossing it daily for five years and still gawk every time.
Go gawk the nice shots, as in not taken by my iPhone, on SFGate.
Nice gallery/writeup on The Pash and others in the LA Times. Look for Jack’s book coming out … any day now. Right?
Damn right. See what the fucking weather is like in your ‘hood.
Umm, yeah. Spotted this on Montgomery & California in SF’s Financial District. Target marketing. Or propaganda-ing.
