Can barely type — too excited.  Okay, I don’t know about you, but I LOVED IRON MAN (man in robot suit — SWEET!)!  I mean, it couldn’t have been ANY better.  Well, okay, it could have been improved in one way: they could’ve cast Olivia Munn in it.

But I’m now willing to forgive that oversight, because the filmmakers have obviously learned their lesson for the sequel, WHICH WILL FEATURE THE BREATH-TAKING MISS MUNN!  Oh yeah, boyz, you heard me right!!!  Set your clocks for May 2010!!  Only 11 months to go….

OliviaMunn.com confirms the truth!

Check out this article about the GIANT lake beds now proven to exist on Mars!  A three billion year-old lake the size of Lake Champlain and up to 1500 feet deep indicates heavily that there really was life on the red planet.  Don’t worry peeps — there’s no one living there now, (like say, um, giant alien robots), but the article goes on to talk about the adjacent deltas, and says that deltas on Earth “rapidly bury organic carbon and other biomarkers of life” and that “astrobiologists believe any present indications of life on Mars will be discovered in the form of subterranean microorganisms.”

Why am I bringing this up right now when we seem to be enduring an invasive hail storm of clankhead aliens?  Well, I’m just saying if their intrusion (and population!) keep growing, we might all need somewhere ELSE to GO, right?  And hey — if life existed on Mars back in the roaring Noachan epoch, (kinda like the “Roaring Twenties” except 4.1 billion to 3.7 billion years ago), maybe life can thrive again?  I’m just sayin’, it’s worth keeping an open mind.  I mean, imagine the view, at least.

(Although while I just said there’s no life on Mars at the moment, we do have to keep in mind that pesky Beagle 2 Explorer which went “missing”.  Is someone – or someTHING – walking that dog in the park as we speak?)

Yeah, Shark and Leo think I’m wacked, but listen: as much as I’m psyched for the imminent move toward college freshmandom, (especially after what we’ve done to our living arrangements and stay tuned for that announcement), I just don’t want to be running for cover in the dining hall because some twenty-foot tower of steel just ATE my RA, man.  I mean, if life is about to be code orange like that, I’d rather live somewhere RED.  You feel me?

Back to business. Ever helpful Agent Elemento P tracked down this story.

Okay, does anyone think it’s a GOOD idea to make robots that can sneak up on you?  What if this “algorithm” falls into the wrong hands?  The article calls it “creepy.”  Damn straight!  I’d like to avoid any “robots waiting in the shadows” if that’s all right with you, Dr. Park.

Oh, snap!  I can’t believe I missed this!  Many, many, MANY thanks to Methusalen for forwarding the link.  Friday June 19th will be the BEST DAY EVER!

We at TRED have been busy working on a lot of great stuff and it’ll all be coming your way soon.  We’re getting FLOODED with reports from people in the field!  Thanks everyone for sending in your material.  Keep it coming!

Methusalen, you ROCK!!!  FTJ!!!

As many of you know, the annual place to be when it comes to all things electronic gaming is E3. Many of you also know that you have to be a “professional” to get in.  So, we figured we’d go check it out and report back to all of YOU on the bevy of booth babes that would surely roam the convention floor.

But NOOOOOOO!!  Apparently, TRED isn’t “professional” enough for the fascists controlling access to the convention.  They denied our request to attend so we decided to “insert” some credentials into the E3 mainframe…both Sharkatron3000 and I tried backdooring the system to create passes but were again denied- they have some pretty powerful stuff– a bit suspect, actually.

So when Leo saw these pictures of all the babeliciousness (including his beloved Munn) he was way too bummed to even talk about it and asked me pass along the eye candy.

So here you are: enjoy the booth babes of E3….

Oh, and by the way, E3-Luddites, bloggers are the new generation — some of us are more professional than the so-called “mainstream media.”  So just you wait for next years’ expo.  Because the Fassinator is gonna get nasstinator on your assinator, and you’re gonna be very SORRY.  (Although, if you do decide to let us in, we’d love to come.)

Okay, okay, calming down after the roller-coaster of emotions I’ve been riding since this story came out.  The goddess of hot geekness Olivia Munn will appear in Playboy this summer — in fact, she’s being featured on the cover.  So far so good: at least I know the peeps at Playboy know what they’re doing (although, WHAT TOOK SO LONG, HOMIES?).

But before you get all riled up, let me put the kaibosh on your Munn fantasies.  She’ll be dressed.  That’s right.  DRESSED.  IN PLAYBOY. I know what you’re saying: WhatyoutalkingboutWillis?

Yeah, at first I was super-bummed.  Then I was like, yo, wait a sec. This is MY babe.  I don’t want anyone else’s eyes all over my girl (yeah, yeah, I know: we’re not dating…but it’s just a matter of time, trust me).  So now I officially approve of Olivia’s decision to go NOT-buck-naked.  She’s taking a stand for women’s rights or something.  I’m down with that.

So anyway, Olivia, I support you, girl.  I know you’ve got my e-mail address (I’ve e-mailed your site about 100 times), so you can reach me any time.  I’ll be here for you.  And I’m willing to travel.

I’m still not sure how I feel about this…torn I am…this could go either way really fast…

Thanks Philly.com

Our favorite geek queen has decided to celebrate her 3 years on the air with some out of this world astronaut themed pictures.We whole-heartedly approve!

Congrats Livi, we salute you!

I don’t know what the Chickepdia is (note to self, find out) but they have just recognized the Munn as a Young Hollywood riser! I’ll say…

Anyway, we’re back up and running, so of course we need to get things started with a Munn photo:

A big THANK-YOU to the folks at Complex.com for bringing us the lovely Livi all wrapped in celluloid this Valentine’s Day! Who knew 80s technology could look so effing good?

Thanks to Complex for the eyecandy.
