“Discovered the TV series Chuck yesterday. Ended up watching half the first series in bed. Maybe it was the hot blonde Australian chick, but I actually liked it.”
Is she Australian? I didn't realize that. - Jesse Stay
UWS (University of Western Sydney) graduate, grew up in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney. It's terrible that I should know, but I automatically IMDB nearly everything I watch now out of habit :-) - Duncan Riley
(Duncan: "I automatically IMDB nearly everything"), not just the hot blondes then :) - David O'Halloran
I do the same thing. If only someone would write an IMDB App for the iPhone! - Niall Connellan
You mean "knockwurst girl"?? I know what you mean, but Chuck's a very light and fun to watch TV show also. - João Almeida
I just couldn't get into Chuck, even with the hot Aussie. Now Poppy Montgomery is another story :) - AJ Kohn
Chuck is underrated. Very clever show. - Mark Trapp
chuck is amazing - the show "gets" techies - here's my review from the first show - http://www.centernetworks.com/nbc-rev... - Allen Stern
The gumleaf mafia is strong. I see chick in Fringe is also Australian as well. We must be exporting blonds at the moment :-) - Duncan Riley
Gumleaf mafia: http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story... Wow, Rachel Griffiths, Emile de Ravine and Portia de Rossi. - AJ Kohn
And what's-his-name on house - Cyndy
Cyndy: Uh, Jesse something or other. - AJ Kohn
Jesse Spence. Perhaps the only REAL Australian accent on American TV - Duncan Riley
You mean that guy on the lunch meat commerical and the Outback commercials aren't real???? ;) - Cyndy
And a good name to boot! - Jesse Stay from twhirl
Cyndy, I've not seen those commercials, but I can say with complete certainty that the Outback Steakhouse DOESN'T serve Australian food :-) - Duncan Riley
But it's a BLOOMIN' onion. We don't say Bloomin' so it MUST be Australian, right? - Cyndy
If Chuck is clever, then they've cleverly hidden that fact in the advertising for it - Jason Carreira
chuck is a great show. - Tony Kanzia
Same here... but instead pulled an all-nighter and watched all 13 episodes in season 1. Just in time for season 2 to start in a few weeks - Jonathan Wong
a favorite in our house too - mike "glemak" dunn
not sure which episode, but the "we wont touch Linux, we're Mac people, we're artists" was a hoot - Duncan Riley
Duncan, brilliant show -- glad you're hooked. And the brunette (the sister) isn't half-bad either, though I agree that the blonde is absolutely amazing. :) I think new episodes start up here in a few weeks, finally. - JR R.
Jason Calacanis
GoToMeeting fixed their "resize your browser" problem after ending a meeting after my tweet!! very cool... now if TMZ/AOL video would do it!

Is it wanky of me to be a little uppity about io9.com referring to Legend of Neil as a "fan video"? It's a web series! @dentist=cranky :D
not at all. I swear that i will refer to Legend of Neil and The Guild however you like if you come on my radio show. :-D - Shawna Benson
Wanky, yes. Wrong, no. - The One True b!X
So, your saying that Sandeep's not a fan? I'm sure Nintendo will understand. jk - it's pretty obviously not a fan video. - XDpaul

What's in your Web 2.0 graveyard? Sites that you signed up for, and then have barely used since?
plurk. - Steve Isaacs
Too many to list :| - Nicholas James
Wow.. so many.. lots of sites that have sooo many ways to communicate, and of course endless sites to store tasks/timesheets that never get a look in. - David
I second Plurk, sadly. The karma thing annoyed me. Too much pressure. - Veronica
yurk err plurk! - Rom Feria
newsvine. plurk. - marc britten
It's like we need a unified messaging centre, a unified task/management centre... - David

Jaiku, NewsVine, Iminta, Profilactic - Louis Gray

Toluu, Pownce, Jaiku, among many, many others. - Nate Pilling from twhirl
And Plurk. - Nate Pilling from twhirl
Wow, I've never even HEARD of Toluu and Iminta! - Veronica

Plurk and Pownce - James Williams
Jonathan - wow! Digg and Twitter? Have you replaced them, or just moved on? - Veronica
@ Veronica - Reddit has replaced Digg for me. Just the comment threads alone on Reddit are awesome - thoughtful, witty, and interesting. As for Twitter that's been usurped by FF. - Jonathon
Uber.com I had high hopes for it, but things just didn't seem to work right and I never was really able to get into it. - Mathew™ one of a kind

@WarMaiden: please share the above with my cats, as they seem to think they are above smooshing. Sadly, I have the war wounds to prove it... - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
I love him. - B. Hatin
@StupidBlogger - I have rarely been moved to smoosh a cat. Haughtiness and snobbery decrease my wanna-smoosh factor - I stick with doglets :) - ωαřмaiden, MFA'd poet

i'd like to have her on my team when the zombie apocalypse comes. - Jason Calacanis
Nice. And my girl just sings to Hannah Montana. - David Jacobs
I am impressed, great focus! - Matt Hartley
Maybe I don't see the irony in this film and I'm taking it too seriously, but, as a Dutch person being, I think it's quite scary to see a 11 year old girl handling a weapon like this. I don't think you'll be able to find a girl in the Netherlands who touched a weapon like that ever. - Ton Zijp
And then she promptly walks around in front of the barrel - bad call - still... nice execution. As for the Why? Why not... Boy scouts tie knots, whittle sticks with knives and shoot bows & arrows. Why shouldn't a girl be interested in guns? It's not like it's a strictly male pasttime. - Lucretia Pruitt
180 mixed feelings on this one - Michael W. May from twhirl
Guns Kill, Cars Kill, Planes Kill, Diet Kills. All have been used as weapons, but there is generally one thing on that list that is known to be used as a weapon of defense by free peoples. Though I don't own a gun, I think it is commendable that young people are taught to handle a weapon that can be used in defense against those that would wish her/him harm. The only problem I have with... more... - Curtis "Billy" Cross from twhirl
wtf - Allen Stern
I'm with Allen here. No child needs to learn how to do that. Ton, any houses available in your neighborhood? - Cyndy
lol, this is pretty dumb - Nick O'Neill
Cyndy, we will get all the nice anti-weapon-people overhere & this'll be a nice & friendly place to be. No filmdirectors will be shot down around the corner anymore. From now on & in eternity. ;-) - Ton Zijp
11 yr old kids in Africa do this all the time, while high on khat. - Robert Hafer from twhirl
@Robert, do you have a video? ;-) - AJ Batac
yeah AJBatac, da video is there..but the videographer is dead .. - Peter Dawson
@Peter, I guess so. - AJ Batac
I'm having Blues Brothers flashbacks: http://tinyurl.com/5b4wa4 ... I wouldn't recommend that for in class "Show and Tell", but definitely a good skill to have when you get ditched at the alter. - John Budnik
Wow, that honestly might be the most impressive video I've seen in awhile. - Shawn Farner
and I thought the lawn zombie was freaky... I bet that dad won NRA Father of the Year! - Ken Stewart | ChangeForge from twhirl
I fear that I have started a household war with my girlfriend by saying this video disturbs me... - Clay Newton
Check and Mate - Robert Barr
damn I miss doing that, one of the fun things about being in the army. pretty impressive little girl. - Andrea Baker
Okay... this is made exceedingly creepy by the user pic of the youtube poster. - Jonathan Howe
This is a worrying video.. Nothing impressive about it.. - Winston Teo
Could be worse, could be some 15 yr old emo kid with an extra large chip on his shoulder. - Glen McFarlane from twhirl
How sweet. I see a magnum coming her way for her 18th! - mark.kemperman from feedalizr
that's adorable, and she's getting quicker too: http://tinyurl.com/624y8d -- now is there any wonder why child labor was such a big hit in the industrial revolution? - Pete Delucchi

United Statians? Wibbly , wobbly much? - Curtis "Billy" Cross from twhirl
Ugliest thing I have seen in a long time. Who would teach a young person such a thing? There is alot of other challenges to be able to take apart, video and show off. I vote for: Parent FAIL. - darodave
Why would a family need guns like that in a house? Who in the US need an automatic assault rifle in their house? - darodave
Currently? No one. But can you read the future? - Curtis "Billy" Cross from twhirl
Sorry, I am trying to think logically about this thread. Lets just send this link to the families of Columbine or Virginia Tech victims. Makes me real proud to be apart of a something that lets these devices exist. It doesn't make sense. - darodave
Impressive. And scary. - Joseph Z.
