I simply high-fived your face.

You’d think a totally smooth surface would be better at flying through the air with the least amount of wind resistance. So why do golf balls have all those little indentations? So they can use the air against itself.

Ah, golf, the thing you watch when nothing else is on and you’re not energetic enough to get off the couch. Since putting is never interesting unless the golfers are trying to time it so they don’t get their balls knocked aside by a windmill, and the audience isn’t privy to the whispers about which kind of club the golfer will use, the whole draw of the sport is pretty much seeing a clean white ball flying through the vast blue sky.

Psst! Need a girlfriend? There’s an app for that! Well, a virtual girlfriend anyhow. Nelson Abalos of Pixelated Geek blog interviews the Angelina Amerson, the producer of MyVirtualGirlfriend:

In the app, you have up to 20 levels of relationship to complete. To complete a level, you must make your virtual girlfriend happy and fill your heart meter up by completing an action with her (like buying her roses, holding her hands, giving her a kiss, etc.), speaking to her, touching her (I’m not joking.), doing an activity with her (like going out to the movies or a picnic), and by just responding to her questions (Note: which are usually about herself. Go figure.) Each time you make her happy, your heart meter goes up.

Each level brings new things you could do with her. Example, instead of a simple kiss, you can make out. Instead of buying her shoes, you can buy her lingerie.

George Lucas has announced that all six movies will be released on Blu-ray in 2011. What’s sure to make a lot of people angry is that the original versions will not be included.

Lucas told the New York Times that only the special editions will be included, since restoring the original versions in high enough quality would cost too much.
