Every year at Siggraph, from what I’ve been told, Pixar gives away a commemorative limited edition teapot at their booth. Today I received mine, courtesy of one of my students. I’m not sure if the other teapots were wind-up, like this one was…
Here are a few photos:
Only 4000 were made, and it came with its own custom metal box along with its limited edition number (mine was 3374). What a great keepsake. Thanks, Marcus!

This ad for Colecovision brought back a flood of memories for me.The Colecovision was my very first video game system. I got one for Christmas in 1982, from a department store called Caldor’s. The only way I was able to convince my parents to buy one was the fact that the Colecovision could be upgraded to a computer (the Coleco Adam).
The Colecovision was a great gaming system for its day. If only the video game crash of 1984 didn’t happen. Coleco may have been able to continue on to compete with Nintendo… I guess we’ll never know…
The fact that the Colecovision could be expanded upon with additional modules (a driving module, an Atari 2600 module, and a computer module) made it a very unique system.
I still have my Colecovision. Looking for more tidbits on the Colecovision? Check out the video below:

From time to time, I like to buy Matchbox and Hot Wheels cars. Mostly for nostalgia-sake – it brings me back to my childhood. Kay-bee Toys was going out of business and I couldn’t leave without buying the FordGT40 and Volkswagen Beetle.

Yeah, you read that correctly. Someone arrived at pcweenies.net doing a search for “breast milking”. While you’re at it, Google “Tonsuring Comic” and see the first result…
