I had to set up a new iMac in the company from my dad, and found that cool software Photobooth on it. So Jiajia and me went a bit crazy and took some funny pics!

That’s a nice answer to YouTube and flickr: Mix these! With ANIMOTO, you can take pictures from your flickr account and animate them with music. You can choose music from ANIMOTO’s library or upload your own mp3. ANIMOTO analyzes the pictures and music and creates you a cool video out of it.
Now to the downside: You can only creat free videos that are 30 seconds long. For 3$, you can create a ‘full-length’ video, which means more then even 10 minutes, I guess. Actually, I wanted to invest the 3$ to try it out, but you can only pay with Google and for their service you need a credit card which I don’t have. Why can’t I choose to pay with PayPal, damn it!
Above is a 30 second clip I made with the site. Pretty nice…

‘The Game Gods‘ (whatever that has to do with porn) have published a list with the 69 ‘worst’ porn movie names… But honestly, they are not bad, only incredibly funny. Thanks to many comments there are even much more than only 69 by now… It absolutely worth a quick read! But watch out that you’re not drinking, you will laugh so hard and spray it out of your nose.

Just in via /. and Japan Probe:
“Apparently Japanese TV and bloggers have just discovered Disney’s theme park in China, where young children can be part of the Magic Kingdom and interact with their favorite characters (like Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and the Seven Dwarfs). The park’s slogan is ‘Because Disneyland is Too Far,’ and there’s even an Epcot-like dome. The only problem? Disney didn’t build it, and they didn’t authorize it. What’s more? It’s state-owned!”
My opinion on this? I gotta check that out when I am there with my small brother and sister in June! Seriously, state-owned? That’s more than hilarious. And typical. This is China!
