Week 14: It would seem the symptoms weren't psychosomatic after all.

G: IT HAS A FACE!

H: And it looks like Gabe :)

G: Hi there, little guy. We don't know what you're favorite food is, or what you like to do for fun, or even what you're gender is, but we love you already. Welcome aboard.

SONICS!

Somebody put together a youTube movie of every single use of the Sonic Screwdriver.

Also, mad bonus points for the musical selection.

Words to Live By

“A computer lets you make more mistakes faster than any invention in human history-with the possible exceptions of handguns and tequila.”

Volcanoes are Awesome

Recap: astronauts on the space station have taken a picture of an exploding volcano from orbit. My 10 year old self is FREAKING OUT.

Week 13: Hello Second Trimester! :)

This week, it is a bitty little peach :) ADORABLE! We find out more facts this Thursday with ultrasound photos, will post soon...

The Beatles: Rock Band.

Alert readers of this space will have noted that we're both fans of Rock Band and The Beatles. So, Harmonix's new game is less a potential purchase as much as it is a lifestyle fine.

In case you missed it, check out the promo movies over at the official site. The opening cinematic is definitely the one to watch. To quote my Mother, "It's like they were actually THERE."

Oh by the way...

In case you missed the subtext in the last post, it turns out we're having a baby.

PREGGO REPORT: 12 weeks and steady as she goes...

So I am 12 weeks and 1 day today! I feel relieved and not ill at the moment; great feelings I haven't experienced much in the past 12 weeks :)

The baby is 2+ inches long and the size of a plum. How adorable is that!? I love the websites that equate fetal size to fruit, too cute.

The statistics took an exciting shift in our favor over the weekend, for those of you who don't know, 12 weeks is a marker all preg women wait for. Chances of the baby taking off at this point are significantly lower and we have moved into the wonderful territory of "90% Chance of Awesomeness!"

Thanks for all the well wishes and support!

Once again, YouTube brings the funny

It's a regular topic of horrified conversation in Doctor Who fan circles: what would the show look like in american hands (besides that mid-90s TV movie we don't talk about.)

As usual, YouTube has the answer:

Doctor Who opening in the styles of both Dallas and Arron Spelling.

This post inspired by the rumor that for next season, new show-runner Stephen Moffat is going to be replacing the existing opening credits with one that has a classic show style "face in space". As long as they get rid of that awful remix of the theme with something better, they can do whatever they want as far as I'm concerned.

(There's actually a very easy test to tell if a version of the Doctor Who theme is good or not: if you can identify a single instrument being used, they screwed up.)

Also, to wash that down with, check out Star Trek as the A-Team (whomever made that gets a FONTS WEEK thumbs up for the font in the title there.)

Forms!

I am so using these forms from here on out: bureauofcommunication.com
