The Future of Computing?

Monday, July 30th, 2007

Exactly 2 months ago, SteveB unveiled surface computing to all you ‘Dillas out there. Today, I bring you another form of innovative computing, which stands an equal (or perhaps greater) chance of changing the way we interact with computers– particularly in the short-term with the desktop & laptop machines we already have.

Introducing… BumpTop computing. Prepare to be amazed– I already signed up for the newsletter, with the hopes of getting to be a beta-tester…

Horror Radio!

Monday, July 30th, 2007

Great site with lots of free content from old radio shows, some of the best parts are the commercials before the show starts!

Where else can you start a story about discovering something horrible about some old ladies cat, with a commercial about yeast!

This site rocks!

Google self censor?

Monday, July 30th, 2007

So a cool feature to Google’s picasa software is photo mapping all your images on google maps.

Funny thing is the link they provide for seeing an example is in violation of their own agreements! WTF?

Nice!

One must wonder though, what is article 20? Perhaps we should ask Kobe Bryant?

Chocolate Rain

Friday, July 27th, 2007

a). What the hell is “Chocolate Rain”?!

b). What the hell is this song about?!

c). Where can I get the “Chocolate Rain” ringtone?!

Clown Squirtgun

Friday, July 27th, 2007

This arrived in the mail today. Sent by my friend Steve (he’s a sicko).

What is wrong with this squirtgun?

a). - It is a clown.

b). - It is a gun.

c). - It is a clown and a gun.

d). - Anatomically, the trigger is in the worst possible location.

e). - When you squeeze the trigger, you feel dirty like that time when you were nine and a clown was at your friend’s birthday party and . . .

f). - All of the above.

It’s wrong. So very wrong. I hate you Steve.

Was recently in Edinburgh Airport in Scotland and saw this little item by the gate. This joins the list of ever growing stuff you can procure from a vending machine. Some useful and some not, some just plain wrong (these are the best).

Of course Japan rules the roost when it comes to vending machines, small list of available and weird vending machines:

  • Eggs
  • Umbrellas
  • Hot Ramen
  • Phone charger station
  • Hot Popcorn
  • Fishing supplies
  • Fried food
  • Liquor
  • Porn (nice!)
  • Used Panties
  • Rhinoceros Beetles
  • More including the ones listed above at http://www.photomann.com/japan/machines/

iPood, no music here!

Friday, July 27th, 2007

Along the lines of sticking “i” in front of everything and calling it a product, Sea to Summit have a clear winner! No $hit! It is a camping trowel for the fancy die hard color oriented camper. Hollow handle for other such vital camping items like your drugs or mini-vodka bottle.

  • Lightweight & compact; weighs only 3.5 ounces (99 grams)
  • Handle collapses to fit inside the shovel blade; to open push handle to full size and lock into place with a spring-loaded button lock
  • Approximate length at full size 9.75 inches; collapsed length 5.5 inches
  • A handy hollow handle for storing useful items like toilet tissue, hand sanitizer or lighter
  • Handle has a comfortable, full-size grip for easier and more efficient digging
  • Made of a super-strong, ultra light 6066 - T6 aluminum alloy
  • Hard anodized blade to Rockwell C 70
  • Available in four fun colors
  • Comes with its own stuff sack
  • Designed to support Leave No Trace practices

Leave no trace camping is a good thing, but the second you say ” Hey guys, iPood!” you body will be found all beaten and bloody at the side of the trail.

Haiku to an SUV Driver

The sign says “SMALL CAR”
An SUV is neither
I keyed your paintjob

Daisy Duke was “talented”, but I don’t think she could do this. If nothing else, at least skip to the end to view their finale. (I wonder how long that potato salad had sat out in the sun?!)

Walk it out, Gwen

Thursday, July 26th, 2007

This has been around the Internet a little based on its 900,000+ YouTube views, but when I saw it today it was new to me and there was no question that it’s Blogadilla material.

I’m a big fan of mashups, but this is a mashup of a different style: music mashed with video. In 2006, Atlanta DJ and rap artist Unk released the addictive track “Walk It Out.” Shortly after, someone took a video clip from a 1960s TV show featuring Gwen Verdon (third wife of Bob Fosse and one of the best dancers of her time) dancing to a song called “Mexican Breakfast,” and had the idea to lay the rap track over the video. I can’t tell you what spurred the idea in the first place, but I can tell you is that the mix works out amazingly well. Check it out for yourself, and then for reference afterward, see the original.

How to make your cat very, very angry.

Courtesy of Gizmodo, I give you the Hello Kitty Cat Humiliation System:

Hello Kitty

Go to Gizmodo to enjoy the wonderful Google translation of the marketing literature. And pictures of some really unhappy cats.
My cat is already irritable enough. If I were to dress her in something like this, it would basically ensure that she would chew my fingers off while I slept.
