Hasta La Gadget!

Whatever you do Ken, don’t blink. If you are in the Malibu Beach House soaking up the sun’s rays by the pool, or riding along with Barbie in her convertible, don’t do it. Not even for an instant. Always keep your eyes on Barbie – and keep them wide open.

While I’m sure that Barbies must have been turned into weeping angels before at some point, you have to admire the dedication and the quality of Sarah Franz-Wichlacz’s work here. But if Sarah is making weeping angels, does that make her Doctor Who’s greatest foe?

Hit the link above to check out her whole build process. Maybe try your hand at building your own. It will give you a fun project while you wait for the Doctor Who Christmas special.

Microsoft’s Online Services Division (OSD) hasn’t exactly had a lot of good news to share lately, most painful being the recent $6.2 billion write-down thanks to the aQuantive acquisition, so it’s turning to a higher power for its next bet. The company appears to be creating an angel incubator called the Bing Fund, which would foster startups that could “bring a wave of innovation to OSD” — which currently includes MSN, adCenter and, of course, Bing. While the company is being slightly coy about the details of Bing Fund, hosting only the tangerine teaser shown above at BingFund.com, some digging by ZDNet‘s Mary Jo Foley has revealed that Rahul Sood will be the chief cherub of this angel fund, stepping away from the Entertainment and Devices Division (aka the Xbox Division). Who better, we say, than the open-minded Voodoo PC founder who famously cut his chocolate birthday cake with a MacBook Air and later said: “Every executive in the PC industry should use an Apple notebook.”
