Is This 34 Year-Old Geek Banksy?
MailOnline claims that the true identity of the world’s most famous graffiti artist, Banksy, has finally been revealed and he is none other than 34 year-old Robin Gunningham, pictured here.
Personally, I’m just not feeling it, this guy looks way too lame. But, it’s possible. I mean, Banksy is all just a crazy image, so it is pretty hard to say for sure. I just don’t think they have enough evidence to say for certain yet.

Adorably Strange Animals
These critters are some of the weirdest ones on the planet. Included is one of my all time favorites, the platypus.
The picture at right is a star nosed mole. That funky looking thing on its face helps it eat like crazy. I’ve seen women at Sizzler that seem to be its distant cousin.

Skateboarders hate looking like total losers covered in pads, not to mention that their movements tend to be severely restricted by wearing them. Enter the Cali Hoodie.
This hoodie not only looks cool, but it also will keep you protected from busting up your upper half.
Potential draw back? I wonder how warm the thing is. No one wants to be 800 degrees while skating either.

Hi all,
I wanted to let you know that at Comic Con I have interviews 
with the creators of the new Strong Bad videogame (I’ll also be demo-ing it).
I also will be interviewing Adam De La Pena, the creator and writer of Code Monkeys and Minoriteam.
If you have anything you’d like me to ask these people, let me know so I can add the questions to my notes. Thanks!
UPDATE: The interview with Adam of Code Monkeys is not going to happen at this Comic Con. Sorry to disappoint.
