A music video that serves as a history lesson, of sorts, of one of the more infamous episodes during the golden age of Atari. Confidentially, I actually enjoyed the game.

Did you know that there are lyrics for the original Star Trek television series theme? It's a fascinating story, and it reveals that Gene Roddenberry could be a real rat. It also reveals that the lyrics are really bad. They don't seem so bad, however, when you hear them sung as beautifully as this. (Performed by Project: Pimento ... and the first voice you hear is not a voice at all but a theremin. Spacey!)

Madagascar was a very crummy animated film, but the reprise of its flightless stars in A Christmas Caper (which preceeded the Wallace & Gromit flick in theaters) is very amusing. I think we both realize that its appearance on the web is not studio-approved, but you need to see the peppermints!

Two things before we launch into the weekend. First, a big welcome to the newest Firewheeler, John Critz. John has been here a couple weeks now, but with the move and whatnot, we haven't had a moment to formally introduce him here yet. Hi John!
This is actually a couple days past due, but as of January 10, Firewheel Design is celebrating its 5th birthday. We're big into stretching out the celebration though, and we're okay with the late post.
