I’m something of a nerd
New Scientist Technology Blog: The stuff of dreams
All this stuff is awesome. I might try to make the ferrofluid this weekend for the hell of it.
MINI owners are cooler than the rest of us
Motorboards: Craziest MINI promotion yet. – Autoblog
Who else has personalized billboards? You?! Me?! That’s what I thought.
Wii want….
orange Alexander … wii death …
Haha, don’t you just love bad pun headlines? I cannot stand how many people are tossing their Wii-motes! How are these people even alive? How is it that they don’t unintentionally let go of the car’s steering wheel while driving? Especially in games like Wii Tennis. I mean, do they routinely let their real rackets go while playing actual tennis? Or is it that 90% of Wii owners have never actually participated in an actual sport…. (I kid… sort of).
All that said, it makes me want this shirt!
I want this
Hot Cooking Mama screens from the oven – Joystiq
Okay a little weak that it’s not some computer AI judging (based on speed, accuracy of cooking time/temps, precise measurement of ingredients, creativity), but rather apparently straightforward speed cooking, but still. I want this game. Haha, even makes me want a DS to play that version. (This game and Nintendogs are the only things that actively make me want a DS).
Fun game
InXile – The Official Home of Line Rider
I’ve known about this game for awhile, but only am now blogging it. It also now has Youtube videos of awesomeness.
Handy Dandy Reference
Database of customer service numbers and how to get a person on the other end.
Much like clothing for dogs
Traditionally I’m against this. Maybe this time it’s different since the shirts are a bigger and smaller version of the same shirt. (Although they clearly go together. And in all honesty, were I to get these I think I’d either not walk that close to my girlfriend or walk on the other side of her.).
Good idea
HERES THE NFLS WINNING SUPER BOWL AD – With Leather
Great pitch. Winning entry to NFL’s Super Bowl ad contest. Everyone thinks they can do better than what’s on every year. A lot of those people are probably right. But this one is good. Mind you, I’ve not watched other submissions, don’t even know if you can. But I like this pitch.
Apple a day
So Apple announced a bevy of greatness: Apple TV, iPhone. And of course I want both (nothing like using a personal multimedia device that runs a full OS and costs as much as a PS3). And will likely get both (Apple TV is a toss-up… 60/40 I purchase). I also want the unannounced but dropped new Airport. Of course my G4PB doesn’t have the draft n airport card, so it’s kind of useless to me. But the fact that it can act as a NAS device is heaven. I HATE being tethered to my external hard drive.
No links because the links and info is everywhere (insane that Apple jumped over $6/share earlier after the announcements).
I am GREATLY disappointed there was no announcement on the iSight. No news of replacement. No silent addition to the Apple Store. It’s just gone. I guess it’s really time to hit up ebay. I was waiting and waiting for MWSF to hope Jobs would drop a new one, but I guess not.
