A LEGO Hotel?!

Construction is underway on North America’s only LEGO hotel at LEGOLAND in California! Who doesn’t love LEGOS!? You can pretend you are taking the kids but we all know that it was YOUR idea to go.  The hotel will feature rooms and suites tailored for three different Lego themes: Adventure, Pirate and Kingdom. What’s more, large sculptures built entirely out of Legos, as well as interactive Lego features and play areas will be scattered throughout the premises. Other amenities include themed elevators, a buffet restaurant and a themed swimming pool.

The Lego hotel is set to open this April, start booking your plane tickets now! Check out the video tour below.

Supermans’ Pal JENNY Olsen?


There was a comic back in the day called “Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen” which makes sense that Jimmy would be a guy. However, a lot of people are changing the history of comic book characters because also back in the day the people writing them tended to make all the characters white males.

The latest rumor to be seen is that Jimmy Olsen in the new Superman movie, is really JENNY Olsen. Rebecca Buller will be playing a character called Jenny Olsen. And there’s no mention of Jimmy.

Can You Hear Me Now Facebook?

This is probably one of my favorite updates that Facebook has done in a long time. Their Messenger App on iPhone and Android devices has just updated in the last day or so to include voice messaging. If you have had a smartphone a while then you may have apps like HeyTell or Voxer that you can use to send short voice recordings instantly back and forth with your friends. Facebook has taken that…

To Jam Or Not To Jam?

A theater in New York is about to debut a play that uses PEARL JAM’S music to create a, quote, “rock and roll adaptation of’ Hamlet‘.”  All of the songs used in the play will be live versions of Pearl Jam songs. It’s a modernized version of“Hamlet”, of course, that takes place on the Lower East Side of New York.  And when Hamlet sees ghosts, it’s while he’s tripping. The play is only running for this weekend at the HERE Theater in New York.  If you love Shakesspeare AND Pearl Jam then this is probably going to be the best show of your life.

2 Please!

Every once in a while the world is shaken up by a great invention. Recently is was the Doritos Locos Tacos and Taco Bell. Great minds came together to bring us a tasty new way to eat tacos. Well there may be ANOTHER way to eat a taco that is equally as brilliant! No one is selling these yet but I’m sure they will be here soon enough. A blogger named Nick (great name BTW) came up with a new taco shell to fix that age old problem of losing the goodness inside the taco to the floor or your clothing. It is simply called the TACONE and it combines the world of the waffle cone and the delicious contents of a taco. Since no one is selling these yet, if you would like to make your own (Hell yeah I do!) then you can follow this link to get the recipe! I see a bright future ahead of us in the world of mexican food in a waffle cone. http://dudefoods.com/tacone/

Not On The First Date!

We all have our own first date horror stories. Luckly I have avoided the “you know I’m a dude right?” kind of bad date, but there have been some bad ones. The problem is that as a guy, I have no idea where to take a woman on the first date. I’m sure they don’t want to go see a niner game with me, or see what new comics are in my box at the comic book store (yes, I have a box…) So where do you take someone you barely know to impress them. The answer to that, I don’t know. I DO know 5 places NOT to take them though! Check them out after the jump!

Bad With Names…


If I were to admit to having any flaws (which I don’t) I think the main flaw I would say I have is forgetting people’s names. Seriously in the first 5 seconds after you have introduced yourself to me, I’ve already forgotten your name twice. It’s so bad that my boss tested me on everyone’s names I work with after 4 MONTHS here and I failed. I knew 2 peoples names in the entire building! I walked around most of the time saying “Hey you.” Thankfully I finally cracked down and learned everyone’s names (after he humiliated me by walking me into everyone’s office and telling them I had no idea what their names were) and now I can address people by their names! If you are like me, and find it hard to remember names of the people you meet then you should take a look at these tips to help you remember. After the jump!

Ah Crap…I’m Learning.

Just when I thought my brain was completely numb from all the Kardashians in the news I accidentally learn something. It’s cool though! There are 6 parts of your body that are WAY younger that you are. Now I don’t feel so old, well at least by body doens’t think of itself as old anymore. I still creak and pop when I get out of bed. What’s sad is that I’m not even 30 yet! Oh well moving on. Have you ever heard that ALL the cells in your body regenerate every 7 years? Well thats not true. However, there are some parts that do “replace” themselves constantly. Check out the things that are pretty much brand new on your body after the jump!
