Reading Material
Time to get some of these links off my desktop... - Cool Facebook profile picture using the new profile layout. Directions and examples (along with PSD templates) on reddit, gremlin media.
- Google Wave is now Apache Wave.
- Instant Virgin Detector: The Hover Hand. Speaking of Baby-makin', one man's quest to create the ultimate soundtrack (warning, NSFW language).
- Interesting interview with the former head of the CIA's Bin Laden Unit.
- Interesting tidbits in an interview with Mario's creator.
- Interesting audio recording of a speech made by JFK before the American Newspaper Publishers Association where he warns the press about the secret societies that are the real power in global affairs.
- Everybody's got a talen: Girl who can really burp.
- DMV finally decides to not move to south Bend. Personally, I wondered why they chose such a lousy location, as that area of town is a pain to get to from pretty much anywhere in town. Their current location is fine and owned by ODOT already, so wouldn't it be a cheaper lease? Maybe I'm missing something.
- Glenn Beck, the lone voice of reason in an age of hysteria.
- Looking for a place to work? Find a desk near you.
- Meet Robert Gagno, the Rain Man of Pinball.
- If you're looking for free data recovery software, I've heard good things about this one.
- Now that I have an Android phone, I really need to start playing with the cool apps out there. Gmote looks kind of fun, and wirelessly syncing music to my phone would be nifty -- if I could get it to work (still playing with the new Winamp for Android).
- Agent 8 Ball is a really well-done HTMl5 game.
- A new "What Is A Geek?" venn diagram.
- I honestly cannot believe I haven't seen PostSecret before. I could spend all day looking through their archives.
OK, that's enough for now. Enjoy!

Jake said on 12/13/10 @ 06:16 PM: Samsung Epic 4G. Would have never bought a phone that fancy, as I couldn't remotely afford it, but didn't have to pay for it because of a repair shop screw up (long story -- one of these days I'll get around to telling it).
Markus said on 12/13/10 @ 08:06 PM: Sprint. I have to go to Verizon and am having a tough time finding the right one. The more you read, the harder it gets :-(
As long as it is not an iPhone . . .
