Norman recently came across this undated photo of the Yung Brothers and Brandon in an acoustic recording session. In the picture, from left to right, is myself, Brandon, Simon, and Norman. We’ve been discussing when this photo might have been taken (and by whom) and we’ve concluded that it was probably for Steph’s sweet 16 CD.
Steph, if you have that CD, please rip it to mp3 files!

If you haven’t heard, we have a rather decent looking female running as Vice President with John McCain. Her name is Sarah Palin and she’s from Alaska. She’s so hot that Hustler thought it was a good idea to make a porn based [very] loosely on her identity. The title of this tasteless porn? Nailin’ Paylin (note the change in spelling of her last name to avoid any legal ramifications).
Anyway, so the script to this awful film was leaked by TMZ and BBC’s Graham Norton asked his guests, Thandie and Ricky, to read the script out loud. The result is a hilarious show of bad script writing and incredibly funny characters. This video made me laugh so hard.

It’s Halloween, so here’s a video on how candy corn is made.
It’s probably too late now to get some candy corn for trick or treaters, but there’s no rule that says you can’t eat candy corn every day, so buy some candy corn from Jelly Belly’s store now. Mmm! I’m going to go outside and get some now.

It’s been a very long time since I’ve done a Leftovers post, so here’s one because I have a huge backlog of things to get rid of.
The BlackBerry 8900 (”Javelin”) looks so wonderful next to the Bold. This is going to be me and Flo in the near future! By the way, all Wi-Fi enabled BlackBerry devices will be able to get free Wi-Fi at Starbucks.
Look at this crazy pelican trying to eat a dog!
This may be the coolest retro baby stroller I’ve ever seen. I’d want my baby to be sitting in a bomb! Plus, it’s all chrome!
Your Gmail account is now an OpenID account as well.
My friend Elyse is engaged! Congratulations!!!
Grimaldi’s is opening up a location in the Financial District.
I think these are last week’s secrets.

Electronic Arts made this election coverage video using characters in the upcoming Sims 3 game. Kinda funny if you ask me, although Biden does have a bit too much hair here.
Anyway, The Sims 3 is set to be released on February 20, 2009. That date can’t come soon enough!

I ordered 250 Doobybrain stickers from Contagious Graphics recently and they came in today. I’ve heard good things about Contagious Graphics beforehand which was a big reason in choosing them for this job. I’m glad I chose them too because these stickers are top-notch in quality.
My previous Doobybrain stickers were more or less self-printed squares that were made on matte sticky-back paper. They stood up in the rain for a while, but because of the nature of the paper, they did tend to come off rather quickly from their posts. But not these new batch of stickers from Contagious Graphics.
The box of stickers that came in today are very much water-resistant and printed on a shiny vinyl surface, making them feel much more smooth and “official”. So how sticky are they? Well, Contagious Graphics is a company that specializes in making stickers so they’re similar to your standard bumper sticker (meaning, they do their job of sticking to places very well). I just put one of my binder and I feel like it’ll never come off! AWESOME!
If you’d love to help out Doobybrain.com, please refer “DOOBYBRAIN” or my email address when making an order through Contagious Graphics. I’d gladly appreciate it and you’d be a vital part in helping this site stay online!
UPDATE: I added some extra photos of the sticker on my notebook inside.
