80's Music Videos

In the pre-internet world, many of us (me included) heard many songs from the 80's but never knew that there was a video to go with it.

For me the 80's were a defining time in music history. In the wake of punk - which completely deconstructed popular music, but before the record industry was able to compartmentalize and brand the new music, the 80's produced a flood of creative, individual, and original voices that are as cool, and listenable today as they were 25 years ago.

Enjoy!

Coffee, Tea or your PC?

The perfect gift for a PC-using geek on your list:

The ultimate in geek chic porcelain comes from MOD Design in Taiwan, whose little cups and circuit board saucers offer a tea break for those moments when you need to reboot or force quit your computer.

Spider-man now has a gay ally

Stan Lee, the creator of Spider-man, is planning to unleash the world's "first homosexual superhero in a new television programme".

Here are some other gay superheroes:

Northstar
Although originally a member of Alpha Flight, a fictional team of Canadian superhumans, Northstar is later portrayed as a member of the X-Men. He is one of the first openly gay superheroes in American comic books.

Extraño
Outwardly resembling nearly every stereotype of a gay man, Extraño initially wore loose colorful garments and has a lively, jovial attitude. He refers to himself as "Auntie" and usually imparts parent-like advice to his teammates. In reality, he may be the very first openly gay superhero

... and last, but certainly NOT least (their sexualities yet to be confirmed though):

The Ambiguously Gay Duo
Created and produced by Robert Smigel and J.J. Sedelmaier as part of the Saturday TV Funhouse series of sketches on Saturday Night Live.^[2] It follows the adventures of Ace and Gary, voiced by Stephen Colbert and Steve Carell, two superheroes whose sexual orientation is a matter of dispute, and a cavalcade of characters preoccupied with the question.
