It’s amazing how many people imitate old Nintendo products in new materials.

iPhone Madness →
I mentioned before I was getting sick of the iPhone. A good example why is this man in this story, who sad outside for days to get the thing. DO YOU HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO THAN BE A CONSUMER OF HIGH-END ELECTRONICS???

If you own one of the ones on the Meanest list - for shame!

I found this interesting. I also found it ironic, as the page (when I saw it) also featured videos from Cameron Diaz and Al Gore, the very do-gooder, liberal activists the author doesn’t trust so much. Can’t say I blame him.
Mystery mummy is female pharaoh →
Just goes to prove what I always say - there have always been a lot of strong, powerful, well-known and interesting women in every phase of history. It’s not their fault that 19th and 20th century historians have chosen to ignore the fact that they existed. It’s our fault for not realizing that the fault belongs on our doorstep instead of in the “backwards” past.

Microsoft Strikes Again
Microsoft has agreed to make changes to Vista’s search utility after Google complained to the Justice Department that “Vista’s desktop search tool slowed down competing programs, including Google’s own free offering, and that it’s difficult for users to figure out how to turn off the Microsoft program.” Microsoft initially dismissed the allegations, saying regulators had reviewed...
Best Mug Evarrrr →
I love the Life is Good company. I don’t think that mugs get any better than a flower that says Life is Good. Plus it’s metal inside. Plastic mugs make coffee taste funny.
I have a water bottle like this too, but it’s purple.
Yellow Tape Construction Company 3.0 →
You never know who you’re going to get friended by out of nowhere. This group seems very … angry.

Yeah, it was hard for me to figure where this came from too. I’ve been reading so many crafting-and-making blogs, magazines, etc. lately that at first this didn’t even register. But truly, at what point do you find yourself “rescuing” some piece of crap that shouldn’t be rescued just to say you did? And how do you re-use said piece of crap so it doesn’t turn...
So Sad...
There comes a time in some projects where you just have to take a step back and say … yes, something went awry. So now is the time for reflection and learning. It is the next morning after my realizations, so I am calmer now, and can look at the issues somewhat rationally. I didn’t say I’d be documenting a perfect project! At this juncture, the circumference of the sweater...
Accidental Techies →
An accidental techie is, roughly, somebody who gets unintentionally dragged into technology/IT/information work at a non-profit. Well, dragged is probably too negative a term, but it is definitely not a “Oh, I’m going to have a career in technology but oops, how did I end up doing it anyway” kind of thing. This is my job. I should write this Wiki article.
Vector TD →
I have no update on the sweater - I’ve done 2 rows but mostly lazed about. So here’s a new game that’s called Vector TD from the guy who brought you Desktop Tower Defense. So addictive. So wrong.
Clarus the Dogcow or If I Had A Yard
If I had a yard, there would be no pink flamingoes for me. Nope. I would have to make my very own version of Clarus the Dogcow. Many oldtime Mac users will remember Clarus. She was my favorite of the old Mac icons, and I miss her. The picture to the left is a large version of Clarus on the grounds of the Apple offices in Cupertino California. For many years they had sort of an icon zoo on the...
My UFO Blog →
All sorts of interesting things out there. I hear they’re building a UFO-themed park out there in Roswell, too.
