Droid of Constant Sorrow
The Grammys managed to rack up big points in the ToshiStation Book o' Cool last night when the O Brother soundtrack snagged Album of the Year. These award shows are all a bit silly, but it was still satisfyin' to hear T Bone Burnett got his due.

Month of the Dead
Next month should see delivery of that nifty 12" Ash along with the Evil Dead "Book of the Dead" DVD. The Digital Bits has a review of the DVD right here. Sounds like gooood watchin'.

Dirt Cheap Scooters
Be the first hombre on your block with one of those high-tech Segway scooter deals - the initial batch of 'em are up for auction. Those puppies are just too dang cool (though not quite $100,000+ cool, methinks).

Halo Physics
A movie like this is almost enough t'make a man buy hisself one o' them X-Box deals (and if we did snag one, you can bet it would be water cooled)... a thanks to Monsieur Burton for the link.

Smoke Yourself Thin
At last, Phil Hartman immortalized in plastic. Some of the more informative Troy McClure educational films:
- Alice's Adventures through the Windshield Glass
- Firecrackers: The Silent Killer

Toys for Users
Back '82 the toy company Tomy cranked a small set of action figures based on the movie Tron - which also spawned that glorious Tron arcade game. With the 20th anniversary rollin' around (and a de-luxe DVD), all four figures are being re-released, along with a couple light cycles t'boot. These bad boys look to be exact replicas of the originals. Not very articulated, but sporting cool translucent bodies and slick glow-in-the-dark circuit-style paint jobs. Spiffy.

"We Can Walk on Hot Coals and Have Ninjas Fight Us,
But be Careful Not to Get Gingivitis."
Behold: the official Ninja Webpage. Rife with forbidden knowledge on the ancient art of Flipping Out. A thanks to our man Steve for the link. Bonus points for those hip to the title quote above...

TS in EW
Back from a year-long hiatus, the Media Watch page just got an update... Toshi Station once again makin' waves in the press!

And by "press" I mean one of those fluffy movie-magazines.
And by "waves" I mean a quick mention of a site section that hasn't seen an update in years.

Into the Cellar
