It’s about time somebody started doing this. More at the Museum of Modern Tweets.
Thanks, Andrés. Now I’m gonna’ be thinking of chaincondom all day long.

All Twitter user Tamast wanted was a geeky vanity license plate with the meaning of life (which is “42″ in case you didn’t know) written in binary. Seems like a simple enough request, right? Obviously not for Maryland’s Motor Vehicle Administration. Tamast tweets:
I especially admire the inclusion of the “fuck” hashtag. It helps to further illustrate the point that tamast’s situation is less than ideal.
Kojima Productions now has an official Twitter page. You can finally keep up with things like “omg, what is Kojima eating/wearing?” Hopefully the use this new account to reveal some upcoming games. Zone of the Enders 2, anyone? For all your nerd stalkery, go to twitter.com/kojima_pro. [Via andriasang]

I wasn’t gonna’ post this because every site in the galaxy is talking about it, but so many of you sent this in that I figured, “Why not?” The story so far: Kind of attractive chick (at least when she has makeup on) wins America’s Next Top Model and marries Peter Brady from The Brady Bunch. Then she pretty much falls off the map. Until now. Two days ago, Adrianne Curry tweeted this:
And just in case no one believed that a once-semi-famous model would ever play video games naked, she tweeted the above pic with the following message:
Notice the “winky face” which implies a tad of flirtation sprinkled with a dash of you-don’t-have-a-fucking-chance-in-Hades. Oh, Adrianne Curry, your life would be so much better if you’d just shut up and put your vagina in my mouth. Questions:
Okay, I know I said I wasn’t posting anything for the rest of the day, but unlike the rest of you uncaring turdbuckets, fplus actually sent me something pretty awesome via Twitter and I just couldn’t not share this with you all ASAP. He sent over a link to this awesome live action Street Fighter Alpha II thing of weirdness and joy. Way better than that Jean-Claude Van Damme garbage, right?
Really? The above image is the first page of Forgetless, the new series from Image Comics which drops December 9th. The story has something to do with a wannabe-model in New York who turns into an assassin, but she’s also a hipster on the side. Or something. Here’s another page showing off a bunch of fashionable hipster kids in a dumpy apartment, sans-tweets: And here’s the cover which appeals to the graphic design nerd in me: I like the art (moreso the coloring), but the only reason I’m really posting about it is because it looks like Tweetdeck barfed and/or ejaculated all over the first page. Is this gonna’ be a new “thing” in comics? Are Facebook wall comments next? [Via Fanboy]
Dan Berg from MessOfMusic.com tweeted this in my general direction and I thought it was too funny not to share. Wanna’ get featured on Found on Twitter?

*UPDATE: THIS CONTEST HAS ENDED. THE WINNER WAS ANNOUNCED HERE. THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR PLAYING!* The retail version of Marvel vs Capcom 2 for the PS3 just came out, and while it didn’t have the soundtrack, art book, or 2000 Capcom Unity points that were rumored to be included, it does come with a free month of Marvel Digital Comics ($9.99 value) and a cool case that’ll make all your gamer friends jealous. Not bad for costing just as much as the PSN version. This retail version is limited to just 15,000 copies and I’m giving one away. There’s 4 different ways to enter giving you up to 4 chances to win.
The deadline is noon on Sunday, August 23rd. I’ll shoot a quick video of me pulling the winner’s name at random and the winner will then be contacted via Twitter or Email. God luck!
Wow. This exists. Rides are $300/hour for one passenger only. Groups of 2, 3, or 4 have to ride in the “TonyTag Mobile.” Seriously, that’s what it’s called. Oh, and peep this sexy gallery of the Ferrari Guy in shirtless Ferrari action. In-fucking-credible. Found on Twitter via artist and designer toy customizer @drilone.

What you’re looking at is the best tweet of all time by yours truly. It was so awesome that it was posted on badtofu.com. Since it was probably the most clever combination of words that I’ve ever thought up in under 140 characters, I’m glad my comedic genius hasn’t gone unnoticed. Speaking of Twitter, why not follow Albotas, or better yet, follow me!

New Commenting System
So I was using IntenseDebate for the comments for a while, but I decided to switch it over to Disqus. It’s not that IntenseDebate wasn’t good, it’s just that Disqus is better. Now you can post comments anonymously, or log in via Facebook Connect, Twitter, Open ID, or or you can sign up for a free Disqus account.
Just like you could follow other IntenseDebate users, you can o the same thing on Disqus, but now you link back to a wider array of other social networks in your Disqus profile like Flickr. Why not follow me?
Oh, and you can still subscribe to the RSS feed of any post’s comment section so you can see if people are replying to you. There’s also the ability to leave video comments, but I haven’t activated it yet. Maybe in the future if there’s a demand for it.
Another cool little thing with Disqus is the fact that we get our own Disqus community page! Check out albotas.disqus.com. It’s sort of a threaded version of different posts and images from Albotas for Disqus users to comment on. I haven’t figured out all the ins and outs yet, but it seems pretty cool so far.
I know a lot of other bigger blogs like /Film use Disqus, so you’ll be able to post just about anywhere without having to create a new account. Leave a comment and let me know what you guys think. Feel free to ask any questions as well.
