With the new “X-Men” movie coming out, you would think that they would be very creative with the promotional posters. Unfortunately, money troubles must have hit the staff over at 20th Century Fox. They decided to go with a very boring quickly done picture of the silhouettes, one of Professor X, and the other of Magneto. What makes these posters even worse is how they placed the pictures of the actors portraying them. Apparently, the crotch area seemed like the perfect spot. This certainly puts the phrase, “Two heads are better than one,” to test.

Its been an awesome weekend. My personal batteries are well on their way to being recharged. I spent most of the weekend unplugged gardening, fishing and spending time with the family, friends and catching a movie. Its springtime people, load the portable music device up andstep out into the wide world.

There was a ton of nifty things happening online this past weekend. From Swine flu to Bacon stories. Any well heeled geek needs to find a happy medium when consuming mainstream media, so we have all of the back alleys and dark corners covered in this show. We deal with Remix Culture, legos, and design.

Enjoy the show and Stay Caffeinated!
