Have An iPhone 4 But Get Shot At Often?

2011-02-08T16:56:00.000-08:00

Well then you'll need this.

I like it in the design sense, but it's super bulky and would make daily use clumsy and awkward. But if you really need this, it's only the low price of $99.97.......

Beautiful Library

2011-01-26T10:17:00.000-08:00

This is a multimedia library in Anzin, France, by Strasbourg architects Dominique Coulon & Associés. I love the design. The way the two levels are turned like a rubik's cube is awesome. We need libraries like this in the US. I have a feeling a lot more kids would be interested in going.

Move Over Griswalds

2010-12-13T19:04:00.000-08:00

The Faucher Family are the next Griswalds. At a cost of $82,320 a month, or $686/hr, the Faucher's of Delaware are sure to be annoying many neighbors on their block. 1 million Christmas lights keep their neighborhood glowing throughout the night.

If I were a neighbor, I'd be planning a sabotage attack on the Faucher's display. Still, it is pretty neat.

Black Friday Roundup...Few more hours!

2010-11-25T20:07:00.000-08:00

I'm not gonna bother to waste your time listing stuff that aren't that great of deals. As most of you have probably gathered already, there isn't a real abundance of hot deals for this year's BF. So I'll just list the deals I think might be worth checking out.

Crucial's got a deal for refurb SSDs for $1/GB
Shuttle Computers are offering a deal to the first 100 people ordering X350 model that with the code UKNOWUWANT1, it's free.
Roku XD (which I want) for $64, a decent 20% off deal
4GB G.Skill Ripjaw DDR3 10666 Ram for $49.99. Pretty great snag.
Amazon's selling the Kindle 2 for $89.99

A good BF list by Engadget

And DealVista has the motherload Black Friday list. This thing is hefty, take your time. Comprehensive deal spreadsheet.

Kinect Puppet Show Hack

2010-11-19T07:30:00.000-08:00

Interactive Puppet Prototype with Xbox Kinect from Theo Watson on Vimeo.

This is very cool stuff. The Xbox Kinect, which has already been shown to be a wealth of opportunities for hackers to take advantage of, has been transformed into a interactive puppet projection. Still in its infant stages, but shows a ton of potential.

I'll be following this project.

Wtf? This guy really wants eyes in the back of his head...

What Fast Food Really Looks Like

2010-11-15T06:12:00.000-08:00

This is false advertising at its finest, yet it's completely legal. Thoughts? I'm hungry now, however. They work.

Addicted to Angry Birds? Have a treat while you play

2010-11-12T08:25:00.000-08:00

I'm addicted to Angry Birds too. I'm on like 11-9 or something. I want this cake. It's awesome.

Edit: actually I just beat it again :/ They need to update again and add more levels! So addicting.

iPhone/iPad apps on your big screen?

2010-11-10T13:16:00.000-08:00

This is pretty awesome. Have some apps you'd love to play with on a bigger screen? How about your 50" living room LCD? Could really have some fun when you have people over.

Randy, How We Hardly Knew Ye...

2010-11-01T21:07:00.000-07:00

So Randy Moss' stint with the Minnesota Vikings has once again ended. Rather quickly this time. He was waived today after being traded to Minnesota just 4 weeks ago by the New England Patriots.

Where does he go next? Back to New England? That would certainly make them the winners of the trade, gaining a 3rd round pick. Several other teams are in need of wide receivers such as: Bears, Seahawks, Rams, Dolphins, Jets, and Chiefs.

Who do you think will pick him up?

This videos hilarious. A reporter from Texas is in San Francisco for the World Series. While reporting he can't but help share that he smells weed. Throughout the report he keeps mentioning it. I think he had a few puffs before going on air.
