If you’ve ever been to New York or San Diego Comic-Con, you know the deal. The crowds are insane, the panels are packed, and the exclusives? Forget about it. But in the middle of all the madness, there’s one collectible that’s gotten hotter every year, custom enamel pins.
They’re small enough to fit in your pocket, flashy enough to cover your lanyard, and rare enough to send fans sprinting across the floor like it’s the 100-meter dash. At this point, Comic-Con pins are more than merch, they’re a badge of honor. Continue reading The Most Popular and Sought-After Comic-Con Pins
Oh man, what a blow. Steve Jobs has passed away today, October 5, 2011, due to an as yet unspecified causes (read: Cancer), though he was known to be in poor health (Jobs struggled with pancreatic cancer for over a decade and underwent a liver transplant in 2009). He was 56 years old — way too young to go. Steve can at least rest in peace knowing he created the best personal computer in the universe. The Worley Gig was created on an iMac and the Mac is the only brand of computer I will ever own. Apple Mac Forever! You can read the LA Times Obit on Steve Jobs at This Link.

Sequels to successful movie series can be so played. I’m generally not someone who immediately jumps on the bandwagon to see the theatrical release of every sequel to a movie that I liked (see: The Matrix), especially now that I have a Netflix subscription! But when a couple of my friends whose judgment I trust wanted to go see Toy Story 3 yesterday afternoon, I figured it was a pretty safe bet that I’d at least be entertained. Man, did I ever underestimate this movie going in, because Toy Story 3 is just fantastic! First of all, it’s got the Pixar graphics jumping off the screen at you – so you know it looks completely amazing – but also, the plot and dialogue are not only engaging but surprisingly edgy, and the action gets quite harrowing in parts (a toddler in the row in front of us burst into tears during one particularly “heavy” scene). There is also a lot of talk about this movie being sad, but I didn’t find it to be “sad” so much as very touching and “real.” I dabbed at my eyes more than once, but Toy Story 3 is also unbelievably hilarious, adorable and lots of fun for adults as well as kids. I really loved this movie.
Now in wide release, The Worley Gig gives Toy Story 3 Five out of Five Stars!
