I haven’t seen the new Pixar flick Up yet, but from what I hear, it’s pretty funny. I mean to be honest, you’ve got to be an absolute cynic to hate on Pixar movies. That being said, check out Angus MacLane’s recreation of the main character from the movie. It looks just like him! If it was 1988 and an NES game came out based on the movie, I’d imagine this is how the sprites would look. If you’d like to find out more, Brothers Brick has an interview with Angus that’s a great read.

I’ve always wanted my own viking helmet just so I can reenact my favorite parts of Beowulf, but steel is uncomfortable and it’s getting cold outside. That’s why a better alternative to a steel viking helmet is this wool helm made by Cynthia Rae of Candypop Creations. It’s $7 bucks and that turkey drumstick (which goes so well with the hat) is sold separately.
