Check out this funny commercial of Heineken beer, the "European Man Hug". It’s funny because it’s based on the idea that British men don’t like, or don’t feel comfortable with hugging other men, which can be understandable.

But of course, there is nothing wrong with hugging other people, even if they’re men. The tag line here is that to “get the head right, and the rest will follow”.

By the way, do you know how to pour the Heineken DraughtKeg the right way? Here are some tips about it:

• Leave the beer in the fridge for at least 10 hours
• Place the tap attachment on the keg, and push until it clicks
• Pull back the handle and attach the plastic spout
• When poring the beer, try to get a perfect angle. The glass must be under the tap at a 45 degree angle and open the tap by pulling the handle.
• Make sure to get a good mix of foam and beer. Finish with a perfect and generous foamy head.

Visit the site and use it to invite your friends, and to check out the locations where you can buy Heineken DraughtKeg. Just enter your postcode in the field available at the site, and click submit.

The blog has lots of more Indian film reviews, as you can see for yourself when you visit it. I also recommend that you visit the post where the author writes about the best “top 5 Bollywood films of 2007”.

I’ve been writing some posts for SocialSpark.com lately and so far the impression that I have of the system is great. And the community of users is awesome.

Everybody in Social Spark Is always ready to make new friends, exchange experiences, visit the new blogs and user profiles.

I Social Spark, users can add others as friends, vote for them on their profiles, this makes them more popular, not only in the eyes of other bloggers who join the system, but also in the eyes of the advertisers.

There are many advertisers in Social Spark, but it would be good to have even more. If you’re an advertiser, it could be a good idea to join Social Spark, and boost your business with the help of bloggers, having them write blog posts about the products that you need advertising for.

Advertise in Social Spark

Advertising products in blogs is great, no matter what product you want to advertise. Blogs are loved by the search engines, they are updated frequently, which ensures that the content is fresh, the bloggers love to write about interesting products, to share information with the readers, to interact with them, through comments, etc.

Besides, advertising through blog posts in Social Spark beats buying links. There is just a onetime payment, and the links stay in the blogs, they are archived like any normal blog posts, which means the links are permanent.

It can also be a great opportunity to announce temporary events, shows, etc., taking advantage of the blogs ability to produce fresh new content every day, in case of bloggers who update their blogs daily, and there are some who update them several times a day.

For all I have seen so far, I love Social Spark. But the main reason why I love it, of course, is that it has some of the funniest 404 error pages I have seen, like this one where we can see what has really happened to the missing pages: they were eaten by "Zazoo", the office monkey:

Do you play Paintball? I don’t but I think it must be pretty cool to have a (friendly) paintball fight with your friends.

Fortunately for the players it’s not difficult to find an online paintball gear store where they can buy their full equipment, supplies, masks, suits, markers, pistols and other guns and weapons, and whatever they need. And of course, paint balls. :)

For those who came in late, Paintball is that sport /game where players use paint guns to shoot their opponents with paint balls, when they face each other in combat.

The game leaders can divide the players into teams and then have each team ambush or attack the players of the other team. If they really engage in the fight, they can have really extreme paintball combats.

One thing I like about this game is that it lets you think that you’re a sniper, like the some fighters we see in action movies. I don’t know why but snipers always look cool.

Over at the “Life is what you make it” blog, there’s is an article with a review about an online paintball gear store, which seems to be perfect for all the players and fans out there, called Ultimate paintball. The blogger lady behind the blog also talks about lots of other subjects about life, men and women relationships, tips about making money with blogs, and more.

Hey, guess what: Cesc Fabregas now has his own TV show! Yeah, Cesc Fàbregas, the football player. If you’re still wondering about who he is, he’s a 21 years old Arsenal player, who was born in Barcelona, Spain. He’s playing as a central midfielder, and is being sponsored by Nike.

He has been performing great has midfielder and I even heard someone comparing him to Zinedine Zidane, which gives you an idea on how great he is.

This show is good news for all English football fans, or soccer fans out there. Not to mention the Arsenal fans, they must be going crazy, seeing that their hero now has his own show on TV.

The Cesc Fabregas show was first aired on the brittish Sky Sports channel, on the 19^th of May. Be sure to check your listings for air times so you don’t miss the next shows.

If you need a banner or a logo for your blog, here is some good news for you. The blogger at PTC Dollars, a blog that usually does website reviews about money making programs and other sites, has made an interesting offer to all his visitors: free banners and logos.

Since he has Photoshop skills, he’s decided to use the program as a logo maker to create and give free original logos or banners to his blog visitors who show interest in having them.

This is a great opportunity to get an original banner online for your blog, in case you don’t yet have one. In case you don’t know this, some bloggers pay hundreds of dollars to have original banners on their blogs.

They order and buy personalized banners, logos, templates, themes, or whatever they feel that is going to make their site more original and unique. Some of them choose to have their company logo displayed, or they go for popular stuff like the windows vista logo or something.

This is usually done by professional bloggers who make lots of money from their blogs, so in their case it is more of an investment.

But even if you are not a professional blogger, you can still have your own personalized header banner, or whatever you want, thanks to this offer.

Just visit PTC Dollars and leave a comment on the free banners post, with the details about the type of banner you need, its size, colors, blog or site title, and whatever you think it’s necessary. You can also see some samples of banners already finished.

I don’t know about you, but I like watching good car ad campaigns, especially when they show us that the minds behind them are really searching for solutions “outside the box”.

These innovative and original ideas are also a good way to attract more people to the product being advertised, increasing sales and profit.

In this case, I’m thinking about the new 2008 Honda campaign.

Honda is one of the most known and used car brands, and in its new ad campaign that you can see in television spots and in the video, they are really thinking outside the box, focusing on things like advanced skydiving, free falls, or wind tunnels. All these are things that you wouldn’t think that could be related with car design and testing but they are.

This is another great ad from Honda, the company that is also known for its great ad campaigns besides its quality integrity, and design skills, that you can see, for instance, in their Honda Accord model.

What this video also shows us, is that Difficult is worth doing.

Okay, this blog is called “Internet fun”, and this explains the sexy Victoria's Secret angel on the right, right?

This bra picture is just as example of what you can find at the iApple blog.

The blog’s author writes about many things, being fashion and shopping just a few of them. In fact, she covers lots of subjects in her blog like Animation, Anime, Beauty, Cars, Computers, Designs, Fashion, Film, Gadgets, Home, Interesting, Internet, Life, Multimedia, Music, Shopping, Skin Care, Technology, Travel, Videos.

But for those of you who are still looking at the sexy bra picture, that is a “Victoria’s Secret Biofit Uplift Bra”, I guess the name alone gives some idea of what this bra is supposed to do. It’s a line of underwear that’s perfect for contours and lifts. It can be found in many different colors, but the bright pink flamingo bra is probably one the most popular ones.

Of course, we’re not very interested in those lingerie details, are we? It’s a beautiful image, and this is enough to post it here. Beautiful images are usual in Victorias Secret catalogs, fashion shows, and model photo shoots.

If your pants could talk, what would they say? This is what Dockers is asking in its new commercial contest. Dockers is a famous brand of clothing, and if you visit their website, you’ll find lots of different types of clothes to buy, like mens pants, womens pants, or any other type of pants, shirts and clothes.

Maybe you’re the type of person who likes leather pants, or motocross pants and this is okay, of course, they are very popular anyway. And Dockers online store now has a gifts section where customers can find and shop for great gifts for Father’s Day. So here’s the tip for you, if you’re interested.

I think this “What if pants could talk” is a great idea for a Dockers contest, and if my pants could talk I guess they would say crazy stuff like “Wash me already!” or “Get your hands of my pockets”, or some nonsense like that.

Anyway, getting back to the contest, if you want to enter this talking pants contest, all that you have to do is create a short video with your version of what you think your pants would say if they could talk, and send it to enter the contest.

If you’re a woman, you can enter too, of course, I say this because I know that lots of women and girls prefer to wear a skirt or a dress instead of a pair of pants, but I think that women can look really sexy wearing jeans and tight pants.

If you win, you’ll have the chance to see your video commercial appearing in the famous “Jay Leno Show” at NBC. This is your chance to make not only a Dockers video commercial, which is something, but also to have your talking pants commercial appear at the show. And Jay Leno’s show is watched almost by everybody, and even the people who doesn’t watch it regularly, knows about it.

So now you know what to do next: create your Dockers contest commercial about what a day in your favorite hot pants would be like or something, and enter the contest with it.

Here is another movie I’ve got to see ASAP. It’s the “Kung Fu Panda” movie. This is as cartoon movie from DreamWorks animation, with the characters having the voices of famous Hollywood actors and actresses like Jack Black, Angelina Jolie, or Dustin Hoffman.

This animation movie is about a Panda called Po (Jack Black), who is a clumsy kung fu fanatic, and becomes a student of a revered kung fu master (Dustin Hoffman) who is going to train him, so that he can fight an evil snow leopard (Ian McShane). Po’s friends include a tiger (Angelina Jolie), a monkey (Jackie Chan), and a viper (Lucy Liu).

Kung Fu Panda is definitely a movie to see, and I can’t wait until I get a chance to watch it.

I saw a reference to this funny movie today at this art and design blog where the author writes not only about art or design, but also about movies, internet related subjects, blogging tips, online shopping, and even gives lessons like how to sew a dress or how to make an origami heart, for instance.

Free music downloads is something that many people is always searching for in file sharing servers, p2p networks, or in any site they can find. The problem with this is that not only many of these "free" music downloads are not legal, but include virus, spyware, and other nasty programs that will infect your computer.

So at the end what did you get? Instead of the free music, now there is a free virus, or a free spyware program installed in your PC.

We all know what comes after that: you'll need to scan your PC for viruses and other nasty infections, and all that with the frustration that comes along, because you end up without that country music, classical music, jazz, gospel, bollywood hindi songs (see the previous post ;) ) or whatever kind of music you wanted to listen to.

This leaves you with a known old alternative: grab your CD player or mp3 player, and play that same old music that you've listening to all month. Those may be great songs, they may be the best songs, but they're old already.

I love Death Note. This is now a live action movie based on the popular manga series. In the story, a “Death Note” is a notebook owned by “Shinigamis” (Gods of Death), in which they write the names of humans who will die.

One of these Shinigamis, called Ryuk, drops his Death Note in the human world, and it's is found by Light Yagami, a young student.

Once Light discovers that anyone who has their name written in the Death Note, actually dies 40 seconds after the name was written, he decides to use the death note to change the world, by eliminating all the criminals from the face of the earth, one by one, witting their names in it.

Soon, the authorities begin suspecting that someone is behind all the deaths of the criminals and ask for the help of “L”, the world’s greatest detective, who has never left a mistery unsolved.

And so, the battle between Light and L begins. They are both very intelligent, and L soon narrows the suspects list to include Ligh Yagami, who is always one step ahead of him thanks to his resourcefulness and intelligence, and who, thanks to the Death Note is now the world’s most wanted murderer. Who will win?

The story is very cool and it makes you think about what you would do if you had a supernatural power like the one that Light has, using the death note. Would you use it to change the world for the better or for your personal benefit?

“Death Note” movie will be in selected theatres in May 20 and 21, and is a must for anyone who likes manga, anime, supernatural powers, action movies, and for everyone who is a fan of the Death Note series.

Death Note Tickets

The event includes a 20 minute feature showing a behind the scenes look on how the popular manga Death Note was transformed into a live action movie and also the theme song “Dani California” by Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Don’t forget to get your tickets before they run out. The seating is limited so you better get them early. You can find here DeathNote tickets, by following the link and entering your zip code in the search box.

Have fun with the “Death Note”. ;)

Today I visited eBay, the online auctions site, I’ve noticed how people sell all kinds of stuff, and saw some really weird eBay auctions too.

And as there are people selling those items, there’s other people buying them! Some items that I found weird interesting are empty bags, or cans.

I’m not kidding. There are actually sellers selling bags, and buyers interested in them. I really don’t know what’s on there minds. The items must be special for some reason of course, but still they’re not something I would consider selling at eBay.

Here are some examples of weird stuff on sale now. If you’ve always dreamed of owning an empty can or something, this is your chance!

Top weird eBay auctions

Empty bag from Fazoli’s Italian restaurant. The person selling the bag doesn’t seem to be selling because it came from that restaurant, but because it was bought in Mother’s Day, and she thinks it can bring good luck to someone.

Virgin Mary Chicken Nugget. A chicken nugget that looks like Virgin Mary. I guess that for very religious people this type of stuff can be a divine sign.

Amazing original abstract painting breast art nude Kira. Ok, I don’t know if there’s something wrong with my eyes, but I really can’t find any nude breasts in that painting, can you? That’s the picture at the begining of this article. Luckily the seller added the “Abstract” word to the description, which leaves me a bit relieved. Now I know that the problem is not with my eyes, it’s with the painter’s!

Empty coke coca-cola soda pop can. Another weird thing. I don’t understand what’s with these people. The soda can doesn't have any coke in it, and they’re still bidding. I’ve bought plenty of soda cans myself, but they were always full. :)

Empty baby food jar. I have the same opinion on this as I had on the previous item.

Strange as this may seems, these guys can actually sell the items, so if you want to make some money from your own stuff, eBay is a good option. You can sell anything you want there. In case you have collectible items, you can make good money out of them. And if you want to do it without any of the hassle that usually comes with eBay auctions, you can try iSold It.

Sell at eBay with iSold It

iSold it can assist you with your eBay sales, by selling your stuff for you. You just have to look for the nearest iSold It store to you, and deliver them your items for sale. They will take care of the auctions at eBay, the sales, and at the end, they’ll send you the check!

Of course, everything comes with a price, so you won’t receive the full amount of money that the item went for, but you still can receive up to around 75% of the total value, which is a good deal considering that you won't have to do any work at all on the eBay auctions to sell your items. Even if they're "weird". ;)

There may come a time in every blogger's life when he runs out of blog topics to talk about on his blog.

If you have a niche blog, it's important to stay focused on what's your niche about and write about the topics that interest your readers.

Bloggers who blog for money have to try to maintain a posting frequency, no matter if it's daily, weekly or whatever. But people, who write new posts every day have to struggle a bit to keep their quality levels high and their readers interested in what they’re writing about.

So it's no surprise that sometimes, the blogger can found him with nothing to write about. At least nothing relevant to his blog topic.

If you're in this situation, visit Blanne's blog, "Hit or Miss". This is a blog about random stuff, with lots of interesting articles, and a series of posts about how and where to find good blog topics to write about.

Blogging for money or for fun?

Blanne started blogging to earn money, but then it developed into blogging about everything that she finds interesting and wants to share with other people. I find that interesting, because in my case, it was the other way around: I started blogging for fun, about 2 years ago, and it was only many months later that I discovered I could actually earn money from blogging. I now have several blogs, and make between $400 to $700 a month, mostly from paid reviews, with just a few hours each day.

Anyway, on her series of posts about blog topics to write about, Blanne mentions that sometimes she has problems finding a good subject to talk about, and she gives lots of advices. This is a short preview of her lists of topics and tips.

How to find the best blog topics

· Find blog topics on television. You can use the television to find lots of interesting topics, like news, tv shows, celebrity gossips, etc. You can pick a subject and develop it in your blog post.

· Find blog topics in the newspaper. You can use newspapers and magazines to discover interesting new topics to talk about.

Frontier(s) is a new Horror movie, and as you probably know already, I love horror movies. After I’ve seen the Frontier(s) movie trailer, I could tell that this movie is going to rock the theatres when people see it and start talking about it.

This movie is controversial and unrated. This goes as a warning to all of you who are thinking whether or not to see it. Frontier(s) is very gore and as you can imagine it’s not suitable for all audiences. Although it is unrated it’s still being released in theatres, so be sure to see it you too like good horror movies.

When you think of gore movies you probably think of horror movies like “Hostel”, “Saw”, "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", and a number of others, but for what is shown in the video clips and trailer, Frontier(s) is going to be as gore as those or even more (I’ll know this for sure when I see the full movie).

The story is about a bunch a thieves that flee Paris after a political election and end up at an Inn, run by neo-nazis.

The DVD version of Frontier(s) will be release in May, 13^th. Be sure to catch that too. I don’t know about you, but I actually prefer to see the movies in my own home instead of going to the theatres. Besides, I get to make my own popcorn. :)

Check this out: I discover a blog called Only in Silence, and right the very second it opened up in my browser, I was watching one of the most interesting things I saw today.

But before I go any further, let me just say something that’s been bothering me and I want to get it out of my system. You know that there are lots of women who write their thoughts or whatever they feel like on their blogs. These blogger ladies are often referred to as “mamma bloggers”, or “stay at home moms”, or something like that.

Well, there’s nothing wrong with being a “home mom blogger”. What I’m trying to say is that the fact that a woman is in this condition doesn’t mean that she has to be “labeled” as a “home blogger mom”. This is because she can write about anything she wants to, and not just the typical “kitchen recipes” posts, “my son has the flu” posts and other similar home mom stuff. But don’t get me wrong, I love good kitchen recipes, and all that.

Ok, this being said, I think that the blogger who owns the blog I was talking about can really blog about anything, and the fact that she’s a home mom, doesn’t limit her blogging performance, in fact, it enhances it, by giving her a lot more subjects to explore in her posts.

But let’s get back to what I was saying in the beginning. When I entered her blog, I saw a post called “Why Wedding Rings Should Be Put on the Fourth Finger”.

I had never really thought why wedding rings shoud be put in one finger or another (I’m not married), but that post gives a curious explanation for that. It’s more of an entertaining thing, really, it’s the kind of thing you like to show your kids, or even your friends, but it is also one of those things you can only show them once.

Anyway, I’m going to show here this curious version about why wedding rings should go on the fourth finger. Note that this can be applied to other subjects, instead of wedding rings, but wedding rings “fit” perfectly in this.

It’s all about the fact then when you put your fingers in a certain position; you cannot make certain movements with some of them. Confused? Keep on reading.

Why wedding rings should be put in the fourth finger

Put your fingers together like in the picture.

Try to separate your thumbs. The thumbs represent our parents. They can be separated because all humans go through sickness and death, which means our parents will leave us one day.

Please close your thumbs together again, and then open your second fingers. These fingers represent our brothers and sisters. They will have their own family, which is why they will leave us too someday.

Now close your second fingers again, and then separate your little fingers. These represent your children. Sooner or later, they too will leave us for they have their own lives to live.

Now put them together again and try to separate your fourth fingers in which we put our wedding rings on. You will be surprised to find that it cannot be separated at all. This is because they represent husbands and wives. In your whole lives, you will be attached to each other. Real love will stick together forever and ever.

Remember:

Thumbs represent parents

Second fingers represent brothers and sisters

Middle fingers represent own self

Fourth fingers represent your partner

Small fingers represent your children

I just saw the Frontier(s) movie trailer at the official website. Frontier(s) is an horror movie, that's causing some controversy. Its unrated and for what I've seen in the Trailer I can tell you that this type of horror is probably not going to be appreciated by everybody.

Unless they are horror movie fans, of course. I love horror movies, and some of my best movie times were spent watching them. I could stay here for hours talking about great scary movies that I’ve seen and that I liked, like the “Saw” movie series, “Halloween”, and so many others.

Frontier(s) movie: What are your boundaries?

As for this movie, and judging for what I’ve seen at the official website and by the trailer, I think it has all the ingredients to be another great horror movie.

The Frontiers movie trailer is promising (watching good trailers is awesome, dont you think?), and I'm definitely going to check this movie out when I get the chance to. If you want to watch it as well, you can see the selected theater listings available at the Frontier(s) official site.

Go to the FrontiersUnrated.com website. You can also check out the movie pictures, and there is even a link for a Frontiers wallpaper download. Frontier(s) really looks like it’s going to be on top of the “horror movies” buzz these next few weeks.

Horror movie trailers and more

If you’re a horror movie fan like me, check out this other site about horror movies. It's the "Bloody Disgusting" website. I guess the name says it all. :)

It’s a great resource for any horror and gore movies fan. It has all the stuff that matters to horror movie lovers, like the films, reviews, DVDs, video games, horror movie trailers (look for the frontier(s) movie trailer too), video clips, interviews with the actors, actresses, directors, behind the scenes stuff, you name it.

Recently I saw “Funny Money”. This is a 2006 comedy movie with Chevy Chase (Henry Perkins), Penelope Ann Miller (Carol), Armand Assante (Seargent Genero), and Kevin Sussman (Detective Slater).

I just loved it. I keep on watching it, and I always laugh at the same scenes, although I have already seen them. I’m a big fan of Chevy Chase, and I think he performs very well in this movie.

Here are some quotes from the movie, but they only really make sense if you heard them in the movie, where they belong.

“Funny Money” quotes

- What's this?

- That's my bruised banana.

- No, That's MY bruised banana.

(about viagra pills)

- You gotta try some, Henry, they'll turn your dick into the Terminator!

-Did you miss the train? Say something!

-Yellow pages.

-I was coming home on the train like I always do, and somehow I ended up with some guys briefcase, that’s exactly like mine. I didn't even knew it wasn't my briefcase until I saw the 5 million.

- How do you know the exact amount?

- I counted it.

- On the subway?!

- No, on the toilet at Barney's Tavern.

- I knew you were drinking.

Can you believe my Henry? He hasn’t been here for 10 minutes and he has already admitted to be soliciting men, bribed a police officer, and bought Bali!

-Detective, you’re through liking the statue’s ass?

So, you’ve always wanted to sell items on eBay but you don’t really know how to sell them or what to do, right? Maybe you thought about selling 2 or 3 household items online, like some old antique furniture or rare books or something similar, to try and get extra spending money or even big money from them.

I kid you not. There’s lots of cash to be made at eBay and other online auction sites, from “old stuff” that we have in our homes. We just have to know which items are worth trying to sell and which aren’t.

eBay's popular items

On eBay people sell anything. Let me just say that the most popular household items to sell on eBay are: old junk antiques, books (especially if they’re rare editions that can’t be found anywhere), home or kitchen appliances and other items, Computer hardware (you can actually find good hardware equipment at eBay auctions and cheap too), or even laptops, kids stuff, especially toys, and other stuff like that.

Household items are popular on eBay. That's a fact. I have one or two household items that I could sell on eBay too. But I'm more of a computer and internet guy myself, so I’m thinking in a laptop that I have around here somewhere and that I wouldn't mind selling… here it is! It’s a Fujitsu Siemens laptop, and I could try to sell it at eBay, if I wanted to. It's got eveything a guy needs... well, almost everything: dvd recorder, 80 GB hard drive, Windows Vista Home Premium, and lots of other really useful stuff. In case you're wondering, yes, its the laptop in the picture.

eBay auctions can be risky

Of course, when a person decides to sell something on eBay (or at any other online auction site, but eBay just seems the right choice when you think about online auctions), he knows that his taking risks. I mean, there are lots of folks who make big bucks selling products at eBay, but there’s also other people who gets scammed, who sends stuff to the “buyer”, but never gets the payment from him, or people who sell you broken or in any way damaged items.

All this happens on eBay because these people often have no experience whatsoever on how to sell or buy items at online auctions, so they it using the regular/difficult way. But what if I told you that there are ways to sell those items on eBay avoiding all the risk involved in the process of selling and buying and on dealing with people from whom we have no references at all, we don’t know if they're scammers or decent people, etc.

Sell on eBay without risk! Yeah, this would be great! Wait, there’s more: what if I told you that not only we can sell your household items (or any other stuff, for that matter, even motors, and stuff) at eBay without taking risks, but that we can also sell them on eBay without work from our part?

Selling on eBay means extra work

You know what I mean: when you’re selling on eBay, you’re working, you’re following the bids that come in on the products you’re selling, you’re checking the eBay profiles of your potential buyers, you’re checking on other items that you're selling on eBay at the same time, you’re processing and receiving the payments on your ending auctions, and so on. Not to mention how time consuming all this can be.

Ok, all this work, risks, and headaches can be over with… iSold It!

An eBay trading assistant

iSold It (sometimes referred as "I-Soldit" or just "I Sold It") is a company that functions has an eBay trading assistant. They offer the possibility for anyone to just drop off their stuff at their local stores and they’ll sell it at the online auctions on eBay.

So, if you have a bunch of household items that you want to sell on eBay, you can try to sell them using iSold It. Just look for the closest iSold It store to you, drop them your stuff and they’ll sell it online for you.

They will take care of all the work needed to give your selling items the best exposure (did I mention that by beeing on eBay, the products are already having a huge market exposure?), and at the end you’ll receive you part on the payments and profit. Check the iSold It site for more information on how to sell on eBay easily, and look for the list of iSold It stores. You may even have one of them around the corner and you don’t even know it. :)

If you have lots of used wine corks in your house and don't know what to do with them, here are some great ideas. This collection of pictures and ideas of cork crafts and things that you can do with your wine and champagne corks was published in Terramia, and it has some cool stuff. Check it out and visit the blog for more ideas about uses for bottle corks:

Things you can do with wine corks

Check out this truck covered with corks, cool isn't it?

Cork lamp.

Cork placecard holders, another cool idea.

Cork table.

Cork filled lamp.

Cork baseboard. Another use for corks that I would never think about.

Cork chair or cork sofa. This is one of my favorites.

Cork roof for a bird house. I don't think how the birds will feel about having their home covered with corks, but it looks good.

Cork wall. This one is another of my favorites. I gotta try to do something like this when I have some spear time. A few thousand hours of spear time should do it. I bet you can also make a "cork floor" based on the same principle.

The Dockers commercial contest is a video contest that’s going on at NBC, and that’s gonna let the winner’s video appear at the Jay Leno show.

The show I’m talking about is the “Tonight Show with Jay Leno”. This is a popular TV show, with interesting stuff, always with humor and entertainment, and that has also been used by celebrities to make important public announcements in the past and present.

It was at this show that Arnold Schwarzenegger made the announcement that he would be running for office back in 2003, for instance. And as a side note, I saw at the site that one of the guests this week is Robert Downey Jr, from the “Iron Man” movie.

This contest is sponsored by Dockers. Dockers is an online clothing store where customers can buy all types of clothes, for both men and women, like pants, shirts, shorts, sportcoats, skirts, tops, dresses, jackets, and all other types of clothes.

By the way, Dockers is giving away its own prizes at the site. You can play daily for their $10,000 grand prize at the Dream Vacation sweepstakes. Not to mention the discounts they’re offering on some clothes. Up to 30% off in some cases. Click here to visit the Dockers Store.

The Dockers NBC Video Contest

Ok, but let’s get back to the contest. The Docker’s contest is accepting participants, so if you’re feeling that you could win a contest like this easily, or if you are just one of those really creative people, just make your short video clip with your commercial for Dockers (no more than 30 seconds long, and no offensive or porn content please) and submit it to the contest. The submission period will go until May, 29, and the contest results will be announced in the beginning of June.

The lucky contest winner will get the chance to see his video in the “Tonight Show with Jay Leno”! Yeah, I’m not kidding, this is the prize for the winner!

Just think how great this would be for you. The whole world is going to be watching your work! If you think about it, this is actually the chance of a lifetime.

Think of all the people who would love to be on the tv show and will never have the chance to do it. This is your chance. And, of course you know what will happen if you let this chance pass you by.

Imagine yourself growing old, and having to tell your grand kids that you once had a chance to enter a contest for the Jay Leno show and to have a video in it, and you didn’t even try. They’ll never forgive you.

Here is one of the favorites:

So, don’t waste any more time and visit the Dockers contest.

Death Note is one of the many movies I’ve been wanting to watch, but still haven’t come around to do it.

The plot of the movie goes something like this:

Shinigami own notebooks called “Death Notes” which are used as killing devices. Whoever’s name they write down in a death note will die within 40 seconds. Shinigami Ryuk dropped his Death Note in the human world where it’s found by honor high school student Light. With the death note actually having directions in it for its use, Light discovers he now has the power to discreetly kill people, and with this new power he plans to change the world in his ideal world by killing off criminals. Eventually the governments of the countries around the world notice the unusual amounts of deaths of their criminals, and figure out someone is behind them, but they have no way of discovering it themselves. That’s when they hire L, a master detective, to find out who is behind the murders.

This Death Note plot was taken from the “Madness on Canvas” Blog. According to the blog’s author, the movie has a disappointing ending, so this reduces my expectations about it a bit.

She says that the movie is like everything else in life: it builds up, until it reaches the peak, but when it does, you really don’t know what all the fuss was about. This makes sense, I guess.

Anyway, I guess I’ll be amusing myself and watch it just to mark it as “watched”, and move on to the next one. There's so many of them. ;)
