Western Digital Elements 1.5TB external harddrive

November 9, 2009 @ 8:37 pm

Amazon.com sent over a WD Elements 1.5TB external harddrive today and I’m just setting it up now as a mass storage drive for my music, movies, and digital photos. Freeing up some free space on my laptop so that it’ll weigh a bit less, y’know?

Thanks Amazon!

By the way, these are the icons for the two partitions. Hahaha…

Flickr user 4apples modified an Xbox 360 controller just for his girlfriend as a special gift. The photos of the custom pink paint job look pretty awesome and I actually wouldn’t mind if Xbox 360 controllers came in colors like this (or more varieties of colors). [via]

A very rare yellow lobster was recently caught off the coast of Canada and gifted to Nathan Nickerson, the owner of Arnold’s Lobster and Clam Bar in Eastham, Massachusetts.

The yellow lobster, which is both orange and yellow in color, is a rare genetic mutation that appears in only 1 in about 30 million lobsters and makes it appear as if the lobster has already been cooked. New England Aquarium director of research Michael Tlusty says that the lobsters bright color actually makes it an easy target for predators, so maybe this one shown here is lucky it was caught by a humans.

The perfect Valentine’s Day gift

Love Is Lame is selling this very appropriate 6-inch stuffed bear for Valentine’s Day for only $12.99. It comes in brown or white and displays the message “SHIT BITCH YOU IS FINE” in white letters over a pink stuffed heart. As you can see, the bears also come with heart-shaped pads on their feet to further emphasize the fact that you truly are in love with the recipient of this gift.

But perhaps the best thing about this is that it doesn’t actually say “Happy Valentine’s Day” like all those other V-Day gifts for the ladies. Clearly, this one rises above all of the rest.

I guess it really pays to keep an Amazon.com wishlist (and also a website) because this Christmas I’ve been getting lots of wonderful books as gifts! The Stencil Graffiti Capital: Melbourne book above comes courtesy of Florence who realized that this book was the ideal gift because it features two of my favorite topics: Melbourne and street art!

Thanks Flo! This is awesome! I’ll definitely need to find some time to sit down at a cafe and just read this whole thing from beginning to end.
