Shameless plug: In case you missed the world premiere of Glam Girls on TeleHit last Thursday, you can go to the official website and watch the full first episode. That’s right: no need to panic anymore.
On the photo, my brothers and I posing with Glam Girls villain Fernanda de la Vega (Yael Sandler). Mark my word: She’s going to make other Glam Girls cry… she’s sooo evil.
We had a little get-together on Saturday at my place. Unfortunately I lost all the photos in a timely hard drive crash. Fortunately I was able to recover the pictures from the camera’s memory card. It was a great time. Thanks to anyone who made it, especially those who came from out of town and those who helped clean afterwards!
If you have any photos, please let me know through the comments and I’ll link to them from here (or upload them myself). Read more for links and more photos.
I started having computer problems a few days ago. They coincidentally started right after I applied the Mac OS X 10.5.7 update. So I blamed that and decided to deal with it whenever I get a chance. The symptoms: my Mac mini would lock up after I use iTunes or iPhoto for a little bit. I didn’t really think it was a problem with iTunes or iPhoto themselves nor their files since they happen to be the applications I use the most on that machine – so I assumed the computer would lock up regardless of what program I’m using.
Turns out I was wrong. What happened is that the external hard drive that I use to hold (surprise!) all of my music collection, videos, and over 8000 photos was dying. It finally stopped functioning altogether tonight. None of my computers can even see it, much less mount it or extract any data from it.
In Spain, they translate EVERYTHING, even movie titles. Oddly enough, I distinctly remember Wolverine was called “Guerpardo” in the Spanish-dubbed X-Men cartoons.
Thanks to Carolina De La Lanza for the photo.

18. This is a The MKX® original. Using data from the World Health Organization I put together a little Google Docs spreadsheet with all the confirmed cases of A(H1N1) influenza infection. Interesting to see the trends. Feel free to link to this post to share. To see the latest version of the spreadsheet, click here.
I got to see X-Men Origins: Wolverine on Sunday night. This is my quick review. But before you read, consider this: I was an avid comic book reader as a kid. I generally like action, science fiction and superhero movies. I liked all the X-Men movies.
Now with all this said, let me tell you that X-Men Origins: Wolverine is terrible. Read on for a rant with a few mild spoilers.
They keep coming! Here’s I, II, III in the series.
14. A political cartoon by famed Mexican cartoonist Paco Calderón.

10. Swine flu t-shirts… it took longer than I expected.
This is one of the most fun things you can do with only a few friends and a camera: Shake your head side-to-side vigorously while relaxing its muscles as much as you can; then someone takes a picture. The result is a beautiful still-capture of motion, like those milk drop pictures.
It’s really not a new thing. Read more to see a few we did, and there are many others at the official site Jowlers.com.
