Thanks to the Smoking Gun for scaring the crap out of me. You’ve been warned.

Super Bowl Lingerie Show – hell yeah!
Wow, look at this Yahoo! slideshow – and READ the caption too.
I’m sooo gonna watch this after it’s on bit torrent.
Star Wars Galaxies movies
Star Wars Galaxies game that releases this Thursday. I’m reading the forums, and am coming across in-game footage…some is interesting..some is funny!
1. boog.WMV – Wookie gets jiggy wid it (you need audio to enjoy this) 2.7meg
2. swg.wmv – a group of beta testers assembled this footage. 36meg
3. swghigh.wmv – short compilation of random footage…a little more random dancing…mostly combat though 12.5meg
4. wookiesmile.avi – this is showing the first person view…the game can run 3rd or 1st person camera 1.7meg
5. FinalHumancreation.avi – this video shows character creation/customization of character features. let me tell you, this is like 100x more customized than shadowbane…and this doesn’t take into account all the clothing options 14.7meg
all this footage is from beta, not all on the best machine..and the last one is a camcorder shooting the screen. all the sound is dubb’d in, but the video is really in-game.
the lyrics in the first movie are a little…colorful..so be careful at work (it’s Lil Kim)
How much is a pass into the fast lane worth?
Bid for one on eBay and find out. “That’s the theory behind one state representative’s pitch to hold auctions for solo drivers to bid on a faster commute in the car-pool lanes. […] And eBay is a good way to find out how much that trip is worth for delivery companies like FedEx or UPS, truckers or commuters.” Interesting. I wonder if this will fly? It’s amazing to me that states are finally realizing the power of the Internet when it comes to selling stuff.
Utterly Boring’s Blogshare value at $36,000
I got a link of MoveableType.org’s site (as I’m a supporter of theirs) when the Blogshare’s spider was reindexing, so my site’s value has become horribly inflated. Hell, Neil’s is $10,000 more, and I know he’s an MT supporter, and he doesn’t even have that MT link on his incoming links — he just has about 100 others.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Neil has way more friends than I do. At least I have more than Ken.
Catcher ejected for holding on to ball too long
“Mild-mannered A.J. Hinch, the Tigers’ new catcher, got ejected from Saturday night’s 9-6 loss to the Colorado Rockies — not for something he said, or even for something he did. But something he didn’t do.
He didn’t throw the ball back to the pitcher as quickly as umpire Larry Young thought he should.”
And, if you’re interested:
Detroit Tigers Tickets, Team Schedule, Tigers Players, Detroit Tigers Stadium and Tigers History.
If this ain’t the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen
But you could only find this stuff on a Mac, that’s for sure. The MacNTouch Keyboard integrates the “functions of a large-area super touchpad, a multi-hand, gesture input command station, and a ZeroForce keyboard, all on the same smooth surface.” It’s a totally touch-type keyboard, with no moving parts, and it also includes “gestures” functionality, which provides all sorts of shortcut customization, including mouse control by way of the keyboard. It only works with Apple G4 15″ Powerbooks and runs a cool $259, but I know those Mac guys think that’s really nothing, as they pay several grand for their laptops. Hell, Ken will probably buy one, the spoiled little bitch.
Toe wrestlers gather for world championship
Can you imagine the trash talk? To steal from Fark, “This little piggy is going to kick your ass!”
