This isn’t the first doggie cam. And there’s a tutorial floating around the internet (a few actually) that show how to make one (though they cost about the same as this). Or you could just buy a spy camera and attach it to your pet’s collar.
It’d be interesting just to see what Monty does all day. If you see a new link to “Monty’s Flickr” in my header links, you know I broke down.
Links from Kottke.org. Some older, some newer, I’ve not been to Kottke in awhile, so just things that caught my interest. I might break some of these out into their own posts, maybe not.
NYU students are materialistic! -NYU students would exchange their vote for an iPod Touch or a free ride to NYU. Half said they’d give up their right to vote FOREVER for $1 million. Disenfranchisement for an amount that wouldn’t even buy a 1 bedroom condo in the city they go to school. Even exchanging their vote, for an iPod?! I love Apple, and my iPod (I don’t have a Touch, but I do own an iPhone). But trade my vote for one?
Ninety percent of the students who said they’d give up their vote for the money also said they consider voting “very important” or “somewhat important”; only 10 percent said it was “not important.” Also, 70.5 percent said they believe that one vote can make a difference – including 70 percent of the students who said they’d give up their vote for free tuition.
Yeah, real important. So important that’d you sell it away…
Musical roads. - The Japanese develop roads that play melodys when being traversed at certain speeds. I’m quite certain I’d find this annoying and speed to avoid it. If they want to discourage speeding, they should make a road that generates an annoying tone at high speeds.
Okay, I had like 6 Kottke links, but as I was writing this post, decided not to put them here. Two is enough.
Men’s Health 20 Worst Foods In America.
This isn’t on the list since it’s homemade, but this would have to be tops on the list right?
But it all tastes so good. Yes makes you nauseated after you eat it, but still….

“This is the most important thing I’ve had to do and hopefully it sends a message to kids across the country that education is more important than money,” Miller said at the news conference. “Getting a college scholarship is more important than winning an American Music Award, and I plan to be the best student-athlete I can be at USC.”
Okay, he’s the son of a did well for himself rapper/producer. Via his cribs he had a MBZ hatchbatch before he could even drive. He’s listed by some as a top 15 PG in the high school ranks. This post is about none of that. Yes education is more important than money. It’s great for him that he’s good enough to get a scholarship with a D-1 school. But you mean to tell me that he can’t afford to just pay out of pocket and walk on to the team? Could some other deserving you man better use that scholarship? Not to say Lil’ Romeo doesn’t deserve it, but he can afford USC (well I’m assuming so, havent’ heard to much out of Master P recently) without scholarship. Others can’t. Not like if he walked on, he’d be a real walk-on.
