Mickey Mouse Tron

And since I have previously blogged about Mickey Mouse and Tron, here's a mashup!

...not! It's an actual Tron-themed Mickey Mouse collector's item! I think it's being released as part of the movie hype.

This is just so 80s and I like it! Me want Tron Mickey!

Mickey Mouse Version 2.0

Mickey Mouse has gone so tech-y, the steampunk feel is really way behind the popular rodent's history.

Here are just some of the electronic items designed after Mickey that I have scoured on teh interweb (if only I can get my hands on these items...):

Mickey Mouse flash drive

Mickey Mouse and Minnie computer mouse

Mickey Mouse MP3 player

Mickey Mouse USB port

I'm sure there are loads more Mickey Mouse themed gadgets...

Dying Girl Gets Last Wish

This is a real tear-jerker: Yahoo Buzz has monitored search results generated by people who were looking for news or info about a certain California girl named Colby Curtin (photo below) who was dying of cancer and had one little final wish--to see Pixar/Disney's new animated movie "Up". Pixar has been notified of the girl's conditions and her final request. But because "Up" wasn't slated yet to be shown in cinemas, Pixar sent in a representative to give a DVD copy of the movie so the girl can watch it inside her room where she has been confined. Reports later say that the little girl passed away a few hours after watching the movie.

*Sniff, sniff*

At least her last wish came true. My sincerest condolences to the Curtin family.
