Here’s Johnny!

Apparently Jack Nicholson’s neighbors at his Nebraska home are taking offense to him walking around in the Buff. I don’t blame them — there’s good naked and bad naked.

Full story.

Man, what a waste of time. Meanwhile, there’s still no cure for cancer or thousands of other crippling diseases.

Smallest Full System Yet

I thought the Shuttle PCs were small. This guy is an entire computer that can fit in a 5.25″ drive bay. Granted, it’s not NEARLY as powerful or flexible as the Shuttle (the Shuttle has an AGP slot and MUCH more processor power, for example), but it’s VERY nice and small and easily mounted about anywhere.

Teacher Ratings

University of Oregon has 28 professors listed at RateMyProfessor.com. And I haven’t heard of a one of them.

It’s a sad, sad day

Santa's Dead -- NOT!

It’s a joke people, mellow out…

Skin your search engine

While I prefer Google for most of my searches (much like Gregg who told you about Froogle), there are many folks out there who prefer All The Web/Fast, and there are some things you can do with ATW that you can’t do with Google (MP3/FTP search comes to mind). One neat feature is the ability to skin the site. They recently had a contest, and you can view the winners here. I prefer Retro-Active.

Google goes Froogle

Google has a new beta service out.

Google’s Froogle lets you shop and price compare online. Knowing how amazing google technolgy is, this will really level the online playing field for small businesses.

Poo and Piss for lunch

Test Data with a Sense of Humor

The Princess Bride…er..Jedi

Another Star Wars fan film. It pays homage to The Princess Bride.

Its titled “Brains and Steel” and you can view it here.

Not the best saber effects I’ve seen, but they choreographed the original PB fight scene well, and all the dialog is the same.
