Anyone who would have the guts to brand themselves with their fave computer company's logo or HTML code baffles me. Here are just a few of the many examples where this is the case. For a closer look check out William H. Macy's rainbow colored Apple tatoo and the infamous lower back Apple tattoo. What are your thoughts? Do you think this is taking your tech love to a ridiculous new level?

The biker comedy Wild Hogs made a smash hit debut this past weekend, rolling in $39.7 million and moving it into the top spot at the box office. The film stars John Travolta, Martin Lawrence, William H. Macy and Tim Allen as biker buddies who decide to pack it up and take a big road trip together. This pic is from the beginning of the movie when they are talking about their trip and decide to destroy their cell phones so they have zero responsibilities. The 40-year-old virgin computer geek Dudley Frank arrives, played by William H. Macy, to show off his new tattoo. read more

Here's what the hilarious Dudley had to say about it:
Dudley- “I’m a biker, dude! I got a tat!”
Doug- “It’s an Apple…”
Dudley- “I know. Trademarked. But what are they gonna say? It’s in my skin b**ch!”

Why Aren't American Arcades More Fun?

Tokyomango - a site that offers everything one might want to know about the "birth city of Godzilla, Gundam, all-you-can-eat shabu shabu and panty vending machines" - recently featured this great photo of its editor rocking out to a dog walking video game.

Here's more:

This is arguably the most challenging arcade game I have ever played. Much more so than Beatmania or DDR (j/k, I so don't play DDR) or Street Fighter II. Basically you have to walk on a treadmill while holding this white dog's leash. Walk too fast, and he'll get tired. Walk too slow, and he'll get bored. And when obstacles like the neighborhood bully dog or a oncoming car shows up on the screen, you better steer clear! If you mess up, your dog dies.

While I know a couple of animal lovers that would likely go hog wild over the possible dog fatality, I love that this isn't a "shoot 'em up" or dance kind of game. Okay, so I just want to say I walked my dog in an arcade. Can you blame me?

Pet Beat Generation Bag Trumps Non-Pet Bag

If you liked the geek chic lifepod purse we showed you yesterday and you have even slight pet-lover tendencies, you're going to go hog wild at the Beat Generation Stereo Pet Carrier. I have to admit I would have missed it were it not for Techie Diva's Gina Hughes, who admitted even though she doesn't have a dog she kinda wants her own carrier. Is it wrong I share her sentiments?

The pet-carrier was made to groove with any iPod, MP3 player, DVD and even your laptop so you can listen to music or audio books without headphones...and carrying your pooch. According to Techie Diva, the carrier was given to Oscar attendees last week at the Roosevelt Hotel, so expect to see celebrities promoting their next album at the airport. I can just see Jennifer Garner and Jessica Biel toting this around with their cute pooches!
