Fun: The Indian Harry Potter

Posted by Izzy Neis on May 30, 2007

There’s an Indian connection to Harry Potter and Dhaval Dave from Ahmedabad has been getting attention from people all around…

Check out the video in that link!  I thought it was a cute bit of fun. And he does look a lot like Daniel Radcliffe!

FYI: Club Penguin & Surfs UP

Posted by Izzy Neis on May 30, 2007

Penguins, Penguins everywhere.  This has GOT to be the year– nay… the DECADE of the entertainment penguin.  First “The March of the Penguins,” then “Happy Feet,” and now “Surfs Up“– not to mention the kids social networking bohemoth Club Penguin (bohemoth seemed more appropriate than juggernaut– seemed colder? Blame the Mammoth).

Well this morning I stumbled upon a lovely wee find for penguin-loving tater tots.

Sony (ironically the same company vying to buy CP) has sponsored a “Free Membership for Life” contest for kids & Club Penguin on behalf of their new movie “Surfs Up”.  There are three possibilities– Lifetime, Yearly, or Monthly subscription for free.  I just signed my godson up and watched the trailer they provided after I put my email in.

Anyway– although minute in the big picture of things, thought the Sony & CP contest was a bit of a taste of the future.
