Introducing Gravatars - surprisingly not from Star Trek

An update of the theme I use for this here website has included Gravatars. Despite the name, Gravatars are not in fact something from bad Sci-Fi, but are actually small images (or “avatars”) that will appear next to the name of a commenter in the comments of each post. You can check the comments of this post to see an example.

If you’d like your own Gravatar, you can enter your email address at gravatar.com and upload a picture. Whenever you comment using that email address here (or at any site that supports Gravatars), the picture will automatically appear.

Ain’t no Barbie here - Dollhouse Trailer

World (or at least, the three of you who haven’t seen this yet), let me introduce you to the trailer for the upcoming TV show, Dollhouse:

Sorry, can’t embed. Click picture to see video.

For those of you not as rabid a TV fan as I, let me explain. Dollhouse is the next TV project from Joss Whedon (creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel and Firefly) and stars Eliza Dushku (who is also executive producer) and Tahmoh Penikett (of Battlestar Galactica).

As is perhaps apparent, I’m a huge fan of everything Whedon, and am immensely excited for this show. Unfortunately, it won’t begin airing until early 2009 on Fox in the US, and who-knows-when here on Channel Ten (who have apparently picked it up).

Regardless of the wait (and the near-inevitable Internet piracy that will have to occur to actually see it), the trailer and this short “sneak peek” of the pilot have me embarrassingly excited.
