From Gizmodo:
Feast your eyes—squinting a bit—on the leaked two-minute trailer that was briefly seen in YouTube and then pulled off just to be rescued at the last minute by a Polish Corvette, saved into an astromech droid, launched onto a desert planet, and found by us in a garage sale somewhere in Kraków. Or something like that. The trailer further shows the work of the three hundred 3D animators who have been working on this project at Lucasfilm Animation for the past three years. And except for its lousy quality it, it seems that we are in for a ride (here’s hoping Mr. Lucas didn’t write the dialog.)

For those who don’t know about the movie, check out CNN’s article about it!
Lucas offered a glimpse into the latest creation in his sci-fi universe at the theater-owners convention ShoWest on Thursday, showing a sequence from “Star Wars: The Clone Wars,” a computer-animated movie due in theaters August 15. It will be followed by a TV series of the same name, to air on the Cartoon Network and TNT this fall.
The movie came about as an afterthought while Lucas was developing an animated TV show of the same name. That show debuts this fall, but Lucas figured it was ripe for big-screen treatment, too.
Mark your calendars, people!! 
I’m a huge fan of Counterize II, but the one thing I wish it did was keep better track of my unique hits, rather than just all hits. I was playing around with the plugin and, after figuring out how it called data, made some changes for it to show unique hit data in graph form, rather than just visitor data. See here: Before (this is what the standard plugin displays): 
After (you can see that my modded plugin displays all the Unique hit information before showing the standard info): 
If you’d like a copy of this plugin, just do the following (those currently using Counterize can skip to step 3):
- Download Counterize II (this was made from version 2.14.1)
- Install, activate, and configure the plugin.
- Backup your counterize.php file, and copy my modded version to the /plugins/counterizeii folder (after extracting it from the .zip file).
That’s it! Once you do that, if all went well, you will now have graphs showing all the Unique visitor data, rather than just the standard visitor data. Enjoy!! Please Note! This hasn’t been tested on any other blog other than my own, so buyer beware!
So, for those not aware, the New York Mets, who have been playing at Shea Stadium for over 40 years, are playing their final season at the stadium. With that, they are letting fans choose the song that will be sung daily during the 8th Inning. Go to this site:

If all goes as planned this will not only be the best Rick Roll in history, but it may not be toppable, so that we can officially end the whole Rick Roll thing. I think it’s a marvelous idea… you only have a limited time:
Fan voting is now open and concludes at Noon on Monday, April 7.
That’s only two days left, so please get voting!!!
And let’s be honest… what would be better than telling the Mets that you are never gonna give them up? 
I was going to wait till tomorrow to post this, but it’s too cool to pass up:
The Legend of Zelda: The Movie @ IGN
Some info:
Few videogame properties hold the cache of The Legend of Zelda. As a film project, it’s on the scale of Lord of the Rings. But no one has tackled a live-action adaptation of the storied franchise… until today. Production Company Rainfall Films has asked IGN to premiere the very first footage from their live-action Zelda film — a very literal adaptation of the magical epic — and, of course, we said, “Yes!”
Much like the indie gem Cloverfield, this project has been shrouded in secrecy and details kept close to the vest. What we do know is that the film is being written and directed by newcomer Sam Balcomb. Going the route of Star Wars: Episode IV, this production decided to cast all unknowns in the iconic roles. Link is played by JR Killigrew, Camille C. Brown portrays a very Elven Princess Zelda, and Gregory Lee Kenyon stars as Ganondorf. You may, however, recognize Camden Toy (see TV’s Buffy and Angel) in the supporting role as Sahasrahla.
You don’t know how long I’ve waited for this day. The movie will be released next April, so be prepared for the midnight showing and costumes!
EDIT (April 2nd) - Gotcha! April Fools!!
Here’s a game called, accurately enough, “The World’s Hardest Game”…
The World’s Hardest Game (click to play)
Here’s a screenshot of level 7 (you’re the red square, the blue circles are the enemies, the yellow circles are items you must collect to finish, and the green area is your “goal”):
Look easy? Give it a try and let me know… we’ll put it this way, the game’s score is how many times you’ve died, and the lower the score the better. Give it a try!
