From Last.fm: Once described as “frequently mesmerizing, seamlessly interwoven combination of electronica and ambient guitar…” by the legendary Wire magazine. Stafrænn Hákon has indeed through the last 6 years been described as a mix of post-rock, lo-fi, ambient guitar & electronica. The Icelandic born Ólafur Josephsson has been recording music since 1999 under the name Stafrænn Hákon (

Yesterdays post about torturing poor Gummi Bears seems to have gone down well. Heres a great illustration by Jason Freeny showing the internal anatomy of a Gummi Bear. You may recognise the style as Jason was responsible for the Anatomy of a Balloon Dog that was flying around the interweb a couple of months ago. via [...]

(Image from Amazon.com where you can purchase these in bulk.) These gummis are from Let's Do Organics. Not only are they flavoured with real fruit and vegetable concentrates, they're vegan-friendly and kosher. They also have no artificial colourings and are gluten-free. Despite everything these don't have, they're actually quite good. As to be expected, the texture isn't quite the same as

"TheOpening credits for Gummi Bears, the 80's cartoon you probably saw every morning!"Gummi Bears was an American Disney animated television series that created by The Waltzs Disney Company. Premiered on two major networks such as NBC and continues by ABC during the mid 80s and early 90s. The series was inspired by the gummi bears candies by the CEO of Disney company, Michael Eisner.

Well, Halloween is over, the decorations are coming down, and the candy bowl is slowly emptying. While the sweet memories are still fresh, I thought I’d share some of my favorites from this year’s haul. Peeps Spooky Friends: These are pretty much equal in their level of awesomeness with the Googly Eyes. To describe these, I would have to say that they’re much like a compressed regular peep; they’re much more dense, but have the same granular sugar coating. In terms of flavor, though, they far surpass their puffy cousins. To be honest, I’m not exactly sure what the flavor is, but it’s darn good. It’s reminiscent of chocolate and vanilla at the same time. Again, I wish I had more of these! Gummi Googly Eyes:These are absolutely awesome. The top is a typical gummy, with a nice, firm texture and a wonderfully sweet, fruity flavor. The bottom is a slightly different consistency, almost like a gummy with more air mixed in. The combination of the tw

Unsurprisingly, a live action remake of Voltron - the popular 80s-era cartoon series - has been green-lighted and just needs the papers to be inked. Variety reports: New Regency is looking to assemble its own giant robot movie. The 20th Century Fox-based production entity is close to a deal with the Mark Gordon Co. to adapt “Voltron: Defender of the Universe” into a live-action film. Gordon has been developing the pic, based on the popular 1980s Japanese animated TV series, comicbooks and toy line, with Justin Marks penning the script. Should the deal close, project would be one of the company’s more high-profile efforts since Robert Harper took over as chairman-CEO of Regency Filmed Entertainment earlier this year. Marks’ take is described as a post-apocalyptic tale set in New York City and Mexico. Five ragtag survivors of an alien attack band together and end up piloting the five lion-shaped robots that combine and form the massive sword-wielding Voltron tha

Believe it or not, I get 2 to 3 emails per week asking if I know what some long-lost candy from someone’s childhood is. Previously, I had been answering the ones I knew and posting a few of the ones I didn’t. From now on, I will collect all of these emails each week and post them on Monday in one “Name That Candy” post. So here are two from last week: Samantha M. writes: I’m seventeen. I remember a candy I used to eat when I was about eight or nine. I can’t remember what the package was made out of, but the candy itself was on a little thin cardboard thing. The candy was sort of gummy, and was made in a cool design that you could pull off the cardboard thing almost like long, string stickers. I don’t remember the colors, but for some reason I think each one may have been multicolored, and I think at least one kind of them was blue and red. I live in Minnesota, but I’m quite sure that it wasn’t only a local candy. I think th

Being a typical guy, I probably give about 1/2 a second thought a month to hand soap. I’ve been using a seemingly endless bottle of Dial for probably the better part of a decade. Every time I go under the sink to refill the dispenser, there never seems to be any less than before. I stumbled on these Gummi Bear soaps the other day and it actually made me want to wash my hands wit hone of these bears. Naiad, a user on Etsy (a site for selling handmade crafts) has mini Gummi Bear soaps for sale in her store. The soaps, which are the same size as actual Gummi Bears, are even scented to correspond with the flavors they would normally be (i.e. whitish is pineapple, etc.). You get 25 tiny Gummi Bear soaps, in a bulk candy package, for only $5. You can’t go wrong at that price, though I’d be tempted to eat them, instead of washing my hands with them. Better keep them away from kids! Washing your hands before dinner is going to seem like dessert. Naiad also has some chocolat

Behold the Crabtot's daily gummi bear, this one taking a "little tiny resti-pops," as we call it in our house. (Sorry the image is a bit pathetic -- camera is one problem and then to take it further, I can't crop cause I aint got Photoshop [or any sort of image program]...the saga of Crabmom's computer-nonsense continues but hold on, friends, hold on, for my new Mac arrives next week if the idiots at Apple will stop phoning me and just get on with the sending...will soon be awash in swell new equipment.) Back to the point, sadly Crabtot's own little tiny resti-pops is a thing of the distant past; you may recall that we have moved from naptime to so-called quiet time. Occasionally there is a brief spell of silence when she falls asleep in the closet, but mostly quiet time is a loud affair involving constantly banging doors and threats of denying the gummi bear that makes life worth living. Make that "an orange one." And only an orange one. Here's an irony Crabgrandmommy pointed out

YaYa Chou is an LA based artist whose recent work seems to be centered around Gummi Bears as a medium. She states: The bright colors and soft texture of children’s snacks construct a romantic scenario which draws my attention to the dangerous ingredient behind them. By rearranging the embellished snacks in the forms of luxury commodity, I wish to pose the questions: Who consume these foods? Who has the choice to choose? Since when are gummi bears “children’s snacks”? Us adults like them too! She’s made various objects out of Gummi Bears: the 4′ by 2′ chandelier seen above, a deer, a goat, and my personal favorite, the Gummi Bear Skin Rug. According to her own blog, the Gummi Bears would get soft in the L.A. summer, and harden again during the winter, but never actually melted. I would think the best part about making art out of gummi bears is being able to eat your mistakes! Yaya Chou’s Gummi Bear Sculptures [ via BoingBoing] Gallery

Have you ever wondered where Gummi Bears came from? Those chewy and brightly colored candies are a staple in the candy world. To think I never gave their origins a second thought! This really interesting article gives an excellent history of this tasty treat. Gummi Bear (or Gummibär: “Rubber Bear”) originated from German candy maker, Mr. Hans Riegel, whose humble beginnings were running a “mom and pop” candy store (the beginnings of Haribo) with his wife selling hard candies. Soon the two noticed that gelatin candy became popular and seriously considered making their own. Being progressive thinkers for their time, Riegel and his wife decided that shaping the gelatin candy would be a great way to appeal to the children who bought their candy. Molds of a dancing bear were created and history was made! The Gummi Bear was born and the future and fortune of Haribo was secured. All was not without stuggle though as the company went through hard times: during WWII an

When I heard about Gummi Chick -N- Legs Candy, I imagined grossness along the lines of the Gummi Chicken Feet we covered last year, but the picture took my breath away. It's disgusting. Truth be told, I can't stand real fried chicken, but this candy just looks nasty. For 99 cents, you can get a marshmallow and plastic replica of a chicken drumstick. The marshmallow is sprinkled with sugar, and each leg comes individually wrapped in packaging that says "Looks like chicken…but tastes like delicious orange and cream gummi" Perhaps stranger is the idea, also billed on the packaging, that the plastic bones are collectible. Then again, I suppose anything is collectible if someone wants it to be, but those bones won't be joining my PEZ dispensers anytime soon.

Have you ever wondered just what exactly would happen to a gummy bear if you added it to a test tube containing heated potassium chlorate? I know I’ve been dying to know. What, you don’t believe me? Ok, ok, you caught me. The truth is, I had no idea what the hell this was all about. Turns out, there’s a high school chemistry demonstration that shows how the sugars in a gummy bear interact with liquefied potassium chlorate to create a really cool flame-y jet looking thing. I’m the first to admit that I’m not exactly a math and science type person. However, I’m fairly sure I would have remembered an experiment like this in either my high school or college classes, if only due to the scary fire it produces. I’m generally not a big fan of fire, but watching it online isn’t too bad! Above you see a video of this chemical reaction using a gummi bear (poor bear!). Who’d have thought one little gummi bear could produce that much fire? Jus
