nothing like catching up with old friends

I got the complete Futurama series (thank god for bit torrent) a few weeks ago and I've been watching those any chance I get ever since. Even though I've seen most of the episodes before, they're still funny.

I strongly think out of all the animated shows made for grownups, Futurama was the best. It's got really smart satirical humor, the animation is better than all of them (the 3D cell-shaded models and the overal colors are always great), it doesn't try to outdo itself every time by going over the top with the sexual jokes (ahem ... family guy), and the characters are among the best in TV animation history, in my opinion.

I've submitted an entry to Threadless. It's my first submission and I really need your votes.

For those who aren't familiar with threadless, it's a site that gets your design and prints it on tee shirts. But for that to happen the design has to be voted on by other people and only the ones that get high scores win. But it's become a "designer's challenge", and since they get hundreds of new submissions every day, winning it is a big deal.

So, if you like the design (you can see it if you click on "continue reading"), please vote for it here. You need to sign up first, but that only takes a few seconds. Ticking the "I'd Buy This" box and writing a positive comment also help in the ranking. Thanks in advance.

The retro month is over at the legofish store and the new line-up will start in a couple of days (I'll keep a secret until then). But I have another thing to tell you about for now: Xerxes Boards.

If you're a snowboarder, or you want to be a snowboarder, and would like to have a custom-made or unique snowboard that features Persian designs check our Xerxes Boards. One such board is currently on auction on ebay here.
