For collectors of the Mattel Pixar CARS 1:55, we have been through an interesting, amazing, infuriating and wonderous 18 months. We have seen a few highs, many lows and the strangest sight of all – hundreds of people who drive miles and miles through blazing heat, pouring rain, sleet and gloom of night – seemingly […]

I tried to resist but I broke down after 3 seconds after holding one of the CARS Mini Adventures 2-pack. I am way too easy. So, if you decide against collecting these, my advice is do not look closely at them and do not pick them up … you will be a goner like me […]

In case you missed it – cute, funny, nicely done! (click on screen shot – Apple.com)

Congrats on entering the world of HD. Unlike the TV’s of yore (yore being 2003 of course), buying an HDTV and signing up for HD service does NOT assure you of actually receiving HD quality reception on your new TV. YOU HAVE ONE MORE THING TO DO. You need to make sure you are connected […]

Of course, denials abound from both Jackson and […]

If you missed it, Chronicle Books which is practically next door to Pixar in Emeryville publishes an “Art of …” book to go with each new Pixar release and way back in April of 2006, they published ART OF CARS. As usual, it’s a classy and oversized book of sketches, drawings and well, the art […]
