for some reason, the only gift example I could think of were big black dildos…
I woke up and did a minor change for a Caddis Art client and then I spent the better part of the day meeting with the guys from Dixon Hill. This is a pretty exciting project, as paying work tends to be these days. We are working on this really cool gift registry. Luckily Bill has a good sense of humor, because while going over my site review, for some reason, the only gift example I could think of were big black dildos… (dildoes? dildii? how do you pluralize that?) They took me to lunch and wow, we had a lot of sushi at Osaka (wow, does that make me racist to expect a nice website because they’re Asian?). Look, it’s a mountain of letters…
I did some updates for Climate Skateboards last night and came up with what I think is a really cool little graphic (below)… this Skate Park Locator is a cool idea that me and the Climate guys and I are still working on. It will tie into Google Maps API for directions in hopes to find cool and safe places for kids to skate… (btw, that’s Desk-Humpin’ Chris in the picture)

Movie review…
Drag Me to Hell – this was a throwback horror flick, I appreciated seeing a modern horror film that doesn’t erode into the knee-jerk gross-out style that has become popular (and completely overdone after Saw I), great ending. I don’t think Justin Long will ever shed the I’m a Mac persona ever, so I think he should just say it in every movie.
Reporting live… furiousBlog reporter and frequent link contributor, Mel…
And then the definitive answer… dildos or dildoes, just dildon’t misquote Miss Mel.

Wasn’t Jason Long in some lame horror flick years ago, getting his eyes torn out for a snack later by the bad guy?

I’ve never had to pluralize dildoes and I hope I never have to. Like in a deposition. “How many were there?” “I don’t know, but I’m sore and I want to go home.”

Living near the Antwerp, Belgium legal prostitution district,
the sight of dildos is part of my daily walk-on-by experience Van.
Trust me, you can only avoid them blindfolded in this neighbourhood.
Somehow though, I gave up on presenting them as presents.
Maybe I’m getting old

I need a gift for a wedding shower…I don’t think dildos were on the registry though. Maybe they registered in the wrong place…
