I love Minecraft animation videos. This one is a very short one about the survival map “Skyblock”

Survival maps are user-created challenge maps in minecraft. They limit the starting available resources, so that you must use creativity and resource management skills to thrive in such maps. Eventually, you can improve your conditions by making use of renewable resources.

Skyblock is one such survival map: The map is completely empty, except for a very tiny sky island (shown in the video).

The internet can be a weird scary amazing awesome place.

Someone made a twitter bot called “InigoMontoya”. It scans twitter for the word “Inconceivable!”, and responds with Inigo’s catchphrase “I don’t think it means what you think it means”. If you talk back to the bot, it gives you a random line from the character. Lol

Checking the bot’s history, it is impressive the number of people who ends their twitter posts with “Inconceivable!”

This week’s XKCD is cute:

While not directly related, it makes me remember when I was an exchange student at Waseda University. I had this awesome korean roommate who would decorate our room, and I would try to make my side of the room to “match” with his.

I really like this “living with roommates” life style, and I hope I can keep doing it for as long as I can.

Today my plush creeper arrived from the mail:

I bought it from a friend who has a online crochet store - her store is full of nerdy things, such as 1-up dolls and the CREEPER :-D. I decided to take the chance to list some geek shops that I know and like. Feel free to send me presents!

• Dueto das Flores — The above mentioned friend´s shop (in portuguese)
• ThinkGeek — One of the most well known ¨geek shops¨. They have some pretty expensive and crazy gadgets!
• Linux Mall — a Brazilian version of ThinkGeek
• Nausicaa Distribution — A recent favorite of mine, they have lots of very cute products about statistics
• The Handsome Nerd — A website with a great listing of shirts with starcraft jokes. I particularly like the micro/macro yin yang one!
• Jinx — A shirt shop with videogame themes. The website is cooler, but the shirts are not so cool as the ones in the previous shop

Most pop bands all over the world are made of hand-picked pretty boys and girls, with little, if any, attention being paid to actual music quality. Well, if that is the case, why beat around the bush? Ebisu-Muscats is a new Japanese pop-band composed only of AV (adult video) porn stars.

If you want people that will fire up the loins of your audience in your band, better go straight to the professionals, right?
