Why we all need iPads

2010-04-01T05:00:00.001-07:00

I've been contemplating what purpose I would have for an iPad. I figured it would be something better left for my parents at this early stage of the device. It would give them easy access to email and the internet in a fairly simple and non-confusing way.

All that changed when I saw this:

Sure, pure awesomeness for an extra $150 might be debatable,

but you'll be able to play hundreds of Arcade Classics.

I think if I do end up this an iPad, this "accessory" is a must have.

ara Weston went crackers when the cuddly parrot she bought for her five-year-old uttered a string of obscenities.

Horrified Tara, 32, listened in disbelief as the 99p fluffy toy blurted out a barrage of vile insults when daughter Demi pulled the cord.

"We chose the parrot in the toy section, so I expected it to be completely child-friendly," said Tara.

But instead of repeating: "What's yer name?" or "Polly wants a cracker", the foul-mouthed bird squawked: "I'm going to rip you head off and s*** down your neck."

The parrot finished its torrent of abuse by yelling "b****r off" and "up your bum". Fuming Tara, from Holloway, north London, marched back to her nearby The 99p Store to demand bosses remove the swearing parrot from its shelves.

A mother has spoken of her anger after she bought a toy parrot for her 11-month-old daughter - and it spouted a series of foul-mouthed expletives.

Tina Banks, 44, picked out the cuddly, multi-coloured bird from the toy section of a 99p Store in Brighton, East Sussex, for her toddler Roxy.

But when she got outside and handed the stuffed toy to her excited daughter, it squawked: "Oi! What are you looking at a***hole."

And when she pulled the toy's cord again, it muttered other four-letter insults including: "I'm going to rip your head off and s*** down your neck".

Other expletives programmed into the bird included "Sod off, sod off" and "Oi! Bu**er off".

weekend project - steam powered ipod generator

2009-04-10T06:40:00.000-07:00

via BoingBoing

I coupled a Lego Technic Motor to a Jensen #75 steam engine to make a crude generator. From there I built a 5V regulator circuit and soldered in a female USB connection to power any USB device. Since I wanted to use it to charge my iPod, I put in a diode and a .5 amp fuse to provide some circuit protection. Attached are some pictures of it and here are some links to videos of it in action. Unfortunately you can't see the charge light on the ipod, But as you can hear, the iPod really loads the engine. I was somewhat surprise it could hack it.

totally awesome. i want to build this.

Diablo III - interested in playing?

2009-03-02T18:14:00.000-08:00

For some strange reason the other day I wanted to play Diablo. I loved playing this game and search my house for its location. While I did find it, I must have bought the only PC only version of the game that exists - therefor making it unplayable in my house.

I then looked online and remembered Diablo 3 is due out sometime in the near future...

Anyone interested in playing this over Battle.net whenever Blizzard decides to release it? We could play some night to play for an hour or two each week. Any takers?

"Phil Vogel met Nora Flaherty in 2007 at one of the laid-back events, where friendly nerds gather to socialize and shout out trivia. Vogel and Flaherty flirted over a game of Risk. They compared notes on AP exams.

It was nerdvana.

"There was a time when I hated the 'nerd' label, mostly because it was used by bullies to put me down," says Vogel, 29, a software engineer for the University of Chicago. Nerds at Heart helped change his mind. "It wasn't until I kind of 'owned' the label, and redefined it for myself as something positive.""

25 Things

2009-02-05T09:07:00.001-08:00

I thought this article from TIME was hilarious

A girl I knew in high school has memorized all of Janet Jackson's dance routines. A college acquaintance is afraid of train whistles. Five separate people harbor lifelong desires to visit New Zealand. How do I know these things? Because they won't stop writing about them on Facebook! (See the 50 best websites of 2008.)

Facebook's '25 Things About Me' meme seems harmless enough: people write 25 facts about themselves and then post them to their Facebook pages, just as they do with videos, status updates and photos of last weekend's party. An estimated 5 million notes — that's 125 million facts — have appeared on the website within the past week. Assuming it takes someone 10 minutes to come up with the list, this recent bout of viral narcissism has sent roughly 800,000 hours of worktime productivity down the drain. (Read "Does Facebook Replace Time or Enhance It?")

But it's just so stupid. Most people aren't funny, they aren't insightful, and they share way too much. Facebook is a loose social network; a "friend" on Facebook might translate to someone you'd barely recognize in real life. I don't care that my college roommate's sister is anemic or that my step-cousin's boyfriend gets nervous around old people (apparently he's afraid they're going to die). (See the best social networking applications.)

Below are 25 facts I wish people hadn't told me about themselves. They come from from friends, friends-of-friends, friends-of-friends-of-friends and my coworkers. They are all real, although I wish someone of them were not.

1. I eat tacos with a fork.
2. I was fat in middle school. The wake of that horror has yet to subside.
3. I keep forgetting that Barack Obama is our President. (See pictures of Barack Obama behind the scenes on Inauguration Day.)
4. I have been pooped on by a monkey. (See the top 10 animal stories of 2008.)
5. I am addicted to the ass-slap dance move. Sometimes don't even notice I'm doing it.
6. When I finally told my now fiancé that I liked him (as in, liked him liked him), I drunkenly gave him the Anchorman line, "I want to be on you." He had only seen the movie once and had no idea what it was from.
7. Just because I realize that Asian women are smarter, more attractive, and have about themselves a generally superior level of class does not mean I have a fetish. Just that I'm racist.
8. I eat gummy bears by tearing them limb from limb and eating their heads last.
9. I can't grow hair on my arms.
10. Two of my best friends are under five feet tall and I have an intense fear of midgets.
11. I think yoga is incredibly spiritual. I know the Lord is with me in my downward dog. (See pictures of Facial Yoga.)
12. I was born with jaundice.
13. I was born pigeon-toed.
14. I was born with an extra kidney. I wish I could have sold it on the black market and made some money but it was underdeveloped and did nothing but cause me to wet the bed until the third grade.
15. I like to tape my thumbs to my hands to see what it would be like to be a dinosaur.
16. A horse once fell over while I was riding it.
17. I don't believe in democracy.
18. I cried when Spock died in Star Trek II. (See the top 10 1950s Sci-Fi movies.)
19. I drink two glasses of wine every night before bed. Wait, did I just admit to alcoholism?
20. If you asked me to tell you my favorite movie, I would have a hard time not saying Titanic. (See the 100 best movies of all time.)
21. I once sent a teacher into early retirement by pretending to be a cheetah and swiping at her from under a desk.
22. I once ran into New Kids On the Block's Joey McIntyre in the lobby of an off-Broadway show. I told him he was the first boy I ever loved. He laughed and kind of smiled. This was the most gratifying moment of my life.
23. My friends say that when they shave my back I purr like a walrus.
24. I don't understand what people see in the Godfather trilogy.
25. Sometimes I think pee smells like Cheerios.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I've finally found something more stupid than Twitter.

Watchy Watcherson

2009-01-09T13:07:00.000-08:00

Producer Larry Gordon has fired off a letter to the federal judge who ruled last week that Fox owns distribution rights to Watchmen, saying that he did not understand the 1994 turnaround agreement under which the studio allowed him to shop the film to other studios because it made no mention of a 1991 quit-claim agreement granting Fox distribution rights and a share of the profits if he made the film elsewhere. U.S. District Court Judge Gary Feess called Gordon's letter an "improper communication" and said he would not read it. The website Hifi.com also published a letter from Lloyd Levin, another producer of Watchmen, noting that he had spent "15 years plus" trying to to get the movie made and that every other studio, except Warner Bros., had turned down the project, which, he revealed, also called for shooting an additional 1-1.5 hours of content that would "only be featured in DVD iterations of the film." He then asked, "Should Fox have any claim on something they could have had but chose to neither support nor show any interest in?" Levin concludes: "The question of what is right is clear and unambiguous -- Fox should stand down with its claim."

watchmen preliminary ruling

2008-12-28T18:13:00.000-08:00

apparently a pretrial ruling has been made stating that fox is correct in its assertion that it does indeed own the copyright and distribution rights for watchmen.

the article goes into more detail, but basically warner bros would need balls of steel to push this into a full trial and fox/warner will need to figure this out on their own. i'm gonna side with the author of this article in guessing they'll come to some sort of agreement and the movie will come out on time. neither side wants to lose all the money already spent on the film & marketing and on what they'll make when this thing comes out.
