Updates to the Gentle Giant website today included a funky line of two to three inch tall Star Wars "Bust-Ups". Photos of series one are on the site and include Han as above, plus Luke, Leia, Chewbacca, Yoda, and C-3PO, though he is not shown. Another line of 1/6 scale collectibles called the Star Wars Armory Collection also premieres on the site. Shown is an X-Wing pilot helmet and listed is a TIE Figher Pilot helmet. Looks like this is set to replace the cool Riddell helmet line.

Mini-Bust 11/19/2003 04:33 PM
I really can't remember the last time a promotion that I know is supposed to help the Star Wars brand has gone as wrong as the one Lucasfilm is doing with MBNA right now. In what seems like a string of problems, a quick check of the official MBNA Galactic Rewards website will show you, as it now has been for about three weeks, that they are completely and hopeless offline. Never mind that frequent calls to them have now turned to comical as they now are gun-shy of telling callers the next promised date it will be online again. And forget about finding out when they will make the cool exclusive Gentle Giants Vader Mini-Bust available to us as each person you talk to will give you a different date, or no date in some cases. And on top of that, the last time I was able to see the promotion page for this it said they had just 100 of them available, and sometime in December they would go up from 7,500 points to 10,000 points each. I'm taking odds it will be December before they ever get the darn site back online. If you have missed the history on this, you can get up to speed with a quick MBN A search.

Plans

Gentle Giant Forced To Change Exclusive
Plans 07/22/2004 01:04 AM
Comic-Con hasn't even started yet, and already there's a problem with the exclusives from Gentle Giant. Comic-Con security is enforcing the sale of exclusive items from the planned distrubution system to a raffle system. Fans interested in acquiring the Spirit of the Rebellion bust-ups or the Luke Skywalker in Stormtrooper Disguise mini-bust can enter the raffle, and if their number is called, will be able to make their purchase. The good news is that the winning number is good throughout the show, so if your number is called, you can make your purchase during the weekend. This is not what Gentle Giant had planned, and they were only informed of this change minutes before distribution was about to begin.

Mark Baker: Today, Roy Fielding ripped me a new one on the topic of the https URI scheme, which I had always considered an unnecessary hack.

It seems that Mark now knows a bit more about the rationale behind the https URI scheme, but doesn't quite grasp the colloquialism.

Trust me, if you've ever witnessed Roy ripping someone a new one, you will know it.

Me?  I've only gotten a mild swat or two...

A Few Gentle Words from the Club for
Growth...

A Few Gentle Words from the Club for
Growth... 01/08/2004 08:38 PM
Lest anyone lull themselves into the belief that the left has taken an uncontested lead in the bad-mouthing-the-oppostion derby, I submit the following from an Iowa anti-Dean ad being run by The Club for Growth, a PAC which describes itself as "one of the nation’s leading free-market political advocacy organizations." In a current press release on their web site, they announce an ad that began running today on Des Moines, Iowa broadcast stations and on cable news channels, for which they have budgeted over $100,000 during this phase of the campaign. For for those who can't stream the ad from here, it goes like this: "A dignified older couple walks out of a barber shop. An off-screen announcer asks what they think of Howard Dean’s plan to raise taxes on a typical family by $1,900. "Without hesitation, the husband responds: 'What do I think? Well, I think Howard Dean should take his tax-hiking, government-expanding, latte-drinking, sushi-eating, Volvo-driving, New York Times-reading…' "His wife continues: '…body piercing, Hollywood-loving, left-wing freak show back to Vermont where it belongs.'" Is this really an ad about economic policy? I think it will be very difficult for me to convince my new fellow travelers in the pro-Dean scene to restrain their rhetoric if their TV sets are going to be lavishing such pretty stuff as this on them. I hope those among you who take such grave exception to vivid excesses on the "left" or whatever the hell you call us, will be equally offended by this ad and will encourage your own colleagues to back it off a couple of turns. Otherwise the future of America with devolve to a purely idiotic professional wrestling match between gay atheist Harvard professors and some good ol' refugees from "Deliverance" who are just trying to keep the weirdos - and a few other objectionable demographic groups safely away from power. I can see their thinking. One can hardly entrust government to someone who actually reads a newspaper instead of getting his news over the television, as God prefers that he do. I mention all this because if we are to make this campaign - or this blog - safe for rational, if spirited, disagreement about policy, we will have to go forth often among our own camps and evangelize the civilization of adversarial respect. We could start right here, arguing fiercely among ourselves, and create so graceful a model for constructive combat that it communicates a necessary dignity to whatever government rises from it....

Tungsten T5 Pics Were a Hoax

Tungsten T5 Pics Were a Hoax 09/01/2004 08:04 AM

Apparently all that Tungsten T5 business over at 1src was a hoax, and the site's editor Joel (no relation) seems to be taking it a little hard. Buck up, camper. You got duped. It happens. We ain't mad at you.

In my opinion, it's more fun to run the images and have people tear them apart, anyway. It's like open-source reporting; a thousand eyes are going to be able to find the flaws in the fake images a lot better than one (laser accident).

PalmOne Tungsten T5 and E2 Rumors, Pics

PalmOne Tungsten T5 and E2 Rumors, Pics 08/30/2004 06:26 AM

So when I mentioned that we had some older news that needed to be revisited, this is basically what I was talking about. Some of the first information about the PalmOne Tungsten T5 and E2 PDAs has come to light, and while there's lots of interesting tidbits (rumor, of course) like the T5's lack of a slider like the old one, I think the most notable bit of news is that both of these will finally be running PalmOne's BEOS-influenced OS6. There is also a planned (rumored) OS6 update for the Tungsten C and T3 after the new T5 is released in April of next year. Looks like good stuff.

It is a little sad, in a way, to see Palm's form factor sort of giving up the ghost and moving to a PocketPC-styled slate, but really, it makes total sense. The silk-screened Graffiti area was really played out, and if OS6 does everything it promises to do, we'll want every bit of screen real estate we can get.
