With all this heroes stuff, I got excited and wanted to post to let you know that
if I were a super villain i would be
Lex Luthor
| A brilliant businessman on a quest for world domination and the self-proclaimed greatest criminal mind of our time! |
if I were a super hero i would be
Superman
| You are mild-mannered, good, strong and you love to help others.  |
After almost a week of the survey, here are the results:
44% (4 of 9) voted for Charlie so they could learn Japanese in a day
33% (3 of 9) voted for Hiro so they could stop time and sleep in
22% (2 of 9) voted for Claire so they could basically be a superwoman
I too would have voted for Charlie… (not that Hiro and Claire’s powers were not desirable) but wouldn’t it be sweet to be able to talk to EVERYONE in the world in their native language?
Not sure if you caught my post about some great TV shows.. but one of them was Man vs. Wild. If you still haven’t watched this show… here is a great video that will definitely make you want to flip to the Discovery Channel to check out Bear. Thanks Eiki for the link.
In Eiki’s words “he’s awesome.”
I found this while cruising Amazon and I’m not sure why I am blogging about it or why I got a kick out of it… (Maybe it is because I once had the poor man’s version..)
Do you work in a quiet environment? (in other words.. in a cube?)
Do you like to listen to music but don’t have a good playlist on your work computer?
Do you like to listen to a variety of music and discover new bands?

Here are some pretty awesome TV shows that I have enjoyed and/or checking out. I thought I’d just throw them for anyone with some spare time and a Tivo handy (or a Bittorrent client).
One I’d be surprised you haven’t heard of…
Heroes – Hands down the best show on television at the moment. (Technically, it isn’t on right now, but it will return on Jan. 22nd). If you read comic book when you were a kid or have a secret desire to be a super hero… this is your show.
One you probably haven’t heard of…
Man Vs. Wild – Watched this at Eiki’s the past weekend and it is just a cool show. Norman first introduced the show to me, and I was instantly hooked. Basically, it is about a guy named Bear (ex-british intelligence agent) who gets dropped off in some remote area (i.e. the Moab Dessert, the Alps, the Pacific Ocean…) and he has to find a way back to civilization. Sounds silly and a waste of time, but when you watch him kill a rabbit with an Indian throwing stick (basically a hard stick…), build a raft to get off an island, and pee on a shirt and wrap it around his head to stay cool… you will get hooked.
One I’m waiting to check out…
Meerkat Manor – Jason recommended this show. It basically follows a family of meerkats that live on the edge of Africa’s Kalahari Desert that share all the love, squabbling, self-sacrifice and rivalry found in any family home. (Ok.. I copied that from Amazon, but to be honest, I’m not really exactly sure what the hell the show’s about…)
