Synopsys:

The series is a lighthearted take on the personalities, luminaries, comic book stores, and characters they have run into during their years in the sci-fi community and convention circuit, while telling the story of a guy learning to love and embrace his fans. CON MAN centers around the post-show life of Wray Nerely (Alan Tudyk), the pilot and co-star of SPECTRUM, a sci-fi series which was cancelled before it’s time and eventually became a cult classic beloved by fans. Wray’s good friend, Jack Moore (Nathan Fillion) starred in the series and has gone on to become a major celebrity, while Wray continued to struggle to find his big break. While Jack enjoys the life of an A-lister, Wray tours the sci-fi circuit as a guest of conventions, comic book stores, and lots of pop culture events. The show will explore all the weird and crazy things that happen to Wray along the way, while telling the story of a guy learning to love and embrace his fans.

And apparently, it’s going to be awesome… at least Felicia day thinks so saying that the series could “Blow up the world the way Doctor Horrible did.”

That’s good to hear!

We tried to get a nice scenic shot but she does what she wants.

So, my problem recently is that every now and then I get it into my head, “Hey, I should write a Whatever entry about something,” and then I go through the list of things out there to write about, and by and large the emotion I feel about them is “oh, Jesus, like I give a single shit about that right now.”

And it feels great! I am bathed in enjoyable lassitude about pretty much everything right about now. I don’t imagine it will last — it never does, I’m a cranky bastard — but for the moment? It’s kind of lovely. I think I will appreciate it while it lasts.

The arguments, debates and theories over the fate of Jon Snow have only just begun, and should be expected to go on until Season 6 premieres next spring. Despite everyone’s protestations that Snow is dead, and that Kit Harington has had his final day on set, some show-watchers refuse to believe it’s over, just as many book-readers refused to believe following the summer of 2011, when A Dance with Dragons was released.

As many have observed, there’s one way this rumor could be settled, and that is if Harington cut off his hair off and shaved his beard. It is assumed that, were Harington to shear his signature locks, we could be sure that Jon Snow wasn’t returning, since who is Jon Snow without that thick mane? In interviews, Harington said he was eager to do the latter, but wasn’t really sure about the former until he had a role which required it. This refusal to commit to the clippers has driven some fans to petition that Harington cut it off and get rid of the uncertainty.

It turns out those pleas have fallen on deaf ears. Over the weekend, Harington made a rare public appearance and turned out for The Championships, Wimbledon, sitting in the Centre Court with other high profile British celebrities. His attendance at the event shouldn’t be that surprising, since his tennis-centered comedy, 7 Days In Hell, in which he co-stars with Andy Samberg, airs this coming Saturday on HBO. But most people didn’t put that together, as they swooned over his still long luxurious locks, and (just as importantly) his full beard. Every entertainment site immediately exploded that this was proof Jon Snow would live again, and even such revered institutions such as The Washington Post reported it as news.

As for Harington’s hair, it could not be reached for comment. We’ll continue Harington Hair Watch throughout the off season, and alert all and sundry if there are further developments.

The perfect comic to start your day! :)

Under eftermiddagen passerar ett område med lokalt kraftigt regn som på kort tid kan ge ca 35 mm.

Google har sänkt priset på Motorola Nexus 6 i egna hårdvarubutiken. Modellen med 64GB internt lagringsutrymme kostar numera 4443 kronor, att jämföra med mellan 5700 – 6000 kronor från andra återförsäljare.

Enligt hemsidan lämnar enheten lagret efter 1-2 arbetsdagar vid beställning. Varianten med 32GB lagring kostar istället 3868 kronor och kunder får således betala 575 kronor för 32GB extra utrymme.

De som är sugna på att slå till hittar Nexus 6 här i Google Store.

Remember the story we posted last week about a gamer who sent in 11.2 pounds of bottle caps (About 2,240) to Bethesda as currency to pre-order Fallout 4? Well geeks, Bethesda as answered his request, and since he was the first to attempt this, they will honor the pre-order!

Now how unbelievably cool is that, right? I certainly hope they send him one of those super cool Pip-Boy editions of the game!

“According to the passenger, the cyclist rammed into the car’s open door because the driver was rushing to get the passenger out of the car before a traffic light changed. Shortly after the ride ended, he received a bill for $250 from Uber, on top of his fare. This, the company said, was his share of the total $1600 bill for the damaged door, incurred by Uber’s insurance company.
 
The passenger has asked us not to use his name, but he provided us with information which allowed us to verify his story, along with his email correspondence with Uber. He also provided this photograph of what Uber claims was $1600 of damage to the car. (The cyclist was unharmed, the passenger says.)”

Uber can charge you up to $250 for damage to their cars

Yet another horrible policy from Uber. I’m not using Uber (which I used to really love as a service) until the company changes this, and other policies.

Also, just a reminder: Uber raised 5.9 BILLION dollars in capital, but is apparently not covering its drivers, and believes that it’s entirely appropriate to put its passengers on the hook for things like this, which are no fault of the passengers.

schwit1 writes: The NHS plans to test artificial blood made from human stem cells in patients and hopes to start transfusing people with artificial blood by 2017. The trials will take place in Cambridge and If successful could lead to the mass production of artificial blood. The Independent reports: "A long-awaited clinical trial of artificial red blood cells will occur before 2017, NHS scientists said. The blood is made from stem cells extracted from either the umbilical cord blood of newborn babies or the blood of adult donors. The trial, thought to be a world first, will involve small transfusions of a few teaspoons of synthetic blood to test for any adverse reactions. It will allow scientists to study the time the manufactured red blood cells can survive within human recipients. Eventually, it is hoped that the NHS will be able to make unlimited quantities of red blood cells for emergency transfusions."
