Update

Ok, so I haven't written anything personal in a while, so here's what's up with Team Josh.  Now with convenient bullet points.

• I went home for my sister's wedding.  It was a blast and I saw a lot of friends and family I hadn't seen in a while.  Check joshmills.textamerica.com for the pictures.
• I tried out to be the new host of Attack of the Show on G4.  I sucked.  Still have glimmer of hope of PA'ing for the show and working my way up.
• I'm going to Connecticut soon to shoot an independent film.  Check out Road Dog Pictures for details on the project.
• I'm still casting for NBC's Three Wishes.  yes, it is VERY satisfying to actually be helping people with a reality show.  I really love the show and making an impact.  Stay tuned and I'll hopefully inform everyone on where we're headed next.
• I'm fighting off the damn sickness everyone else is carting into our office in barrels.  I will win because tonight I'm going to get some Airborne.
• I'm still painfully single, and will probably remain so for a least a little while.
  

Until next time.

Unidentified Sea Creature Found After Typhoon

Typhoon Haitang seems to have deposited an unknown creature onto the shore in Ningbo City in east China's Zhejiang Province. From the fishery bureau, "He said its overall structure means it's unlikely to be a fish, but the shape of its head is like a crocodile's." 12 meters long weighing nearly 2 tons. Picture included at china.org.cn's story.

I told you there are scary things under the sea that we have no idea about. Next up: Leviathan."

The "world's deadliest gun"

In the wake of the London bombings and the subsequent angry condemnation of terrorism, an Australian company has invented what it claims is the "world's deadliest gun". This weapon of ultimate terror will be used by precisely those countries that claim to fight terrorism.

"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap..."

Asteroid headed near Earth in the future?

Not as crazy as it sounds. Here's a quote from USA today online that tips the iceberg that may end up being the real-life-imitates-Michael-Bay-"art" in our not so distant future. Definately check out the USA Today Article.

From USA Today online:

"Humans live in a vast solar system where 2,000 feet seems a razor-thin distance. Yet it's just wide enough to trigger concerns that an asteroid due to buzz Earth on April 13, 2029 may shift its orbit enough to return and strike the planet seven years later."

World's Largest Digging Machine

This is the largest digging machine (or trencher or rotating shovel) in the world. It was built by Krupp and is shown here crossing a road in Germany on the way to its destination, an open air coal mine.

Teen Titans is the perfect Emo kid show

Here's why:

• Emo kids like to pretend to be into all sorts of cool and different things like Anime.
• Teen Titans is cool and Anime, but american enough to be absorbed easily without too much effort.
• Emo kids like to identify with dark and emotional characters, like Raven from said Teen Titans.
• Emo kids dig romantic sublots. Teen Titans features a subtle romantic and sweet subplot between Robin and StarFire.
• Teen Titans features a theme song by cute Japanese girls of the group Puffy Ami Yumi. The song is catchy and kitsch. Emo kids love kitsch and wish they could write catchy songs.

For these reasons and more, Teen Titans is the perfect cartoon show for emo kids with long hair, one lip pierced, a zipped up hoody and Elvis Costello glasses.

Google Adds Playable Option Google Video

Now you can search only the "watchable" Google videos.

It was kind of tough to find videos on Google video that you could actually watch but now you can specify which type of search you want to execute. Kinda nifty. Gotta love those Google kids.
