Thinkgeek.com has just put up for sale an amazing t-shirt with a functioning graphic equalizer built into the front. It responds to "ambient sound or music" (which I guess doesn't qualify as both ambient and sound). The t-shirt is called the T-qualizer Read More...

Yesterday I capped off an exciting two years of ill-gotten gains, or at least barely-deserved gains, with the winning of a $10 gift certificate to iTunes. How did I manage that, you may ask? I read a blog post by Robert Scoble, about a new daily video Read More...

The Channel9 Guy squish toy that I got for sending a postcard to the folks at Channel9 has turned out to be one of the bravest squish toys in my collection. Recently, after being fed up with Imperial policies, the Channel9 Guy was involved in a standoff, Read More...

Margot seems to think there may be a few design flaws in the average American male. Lets be realistic. She means me. If I were equipped with the keys for the three-fingered salute , and could be rebooted, we'd be able to avoid a lot of problems. I'm sure, Read More...

I'm doing a little social experiment. I'm trying to see what is the minimum amount of work I have to do to get free stuff. I'm unwilling to assault my friends & family with the recommended referral text. Hey- Check out this great site that is giving Read More...

I've posted tangentially about pong before. Now /. (slashDot) has an article (artikal?) about some germans who have made an electromechanical version of the venerable game . No transistors, no cathode ray tubes; just relays, motors, strings, rails, and Read More...

I received an e-mail today that instructs one in how to generate one's silly name from one's real name. I was so amused, I wrote a quick Silly Name Generator to automate the process. I often wonder whether I'm too subtle. Read More...
