Pennsylvania man gets flipped off by Bush

And he’s got the (poor quality) pictures to prove it. Link via everywhere, but I saw it first here.

Tour De France Bike Blog

This is very entertaining. While there’s a good Tour De France Blog on the Web, the blog written by Lance Armstrong’s bike is far more entertaining. Link via Cyberjournalist.

So long, Motherboard Monitor

The indispensable Motherboard Monitor is no longer going to be developed. This tool has helped me troubleshoot so many cooling problems in computers that I don’t know what I’m going do without it. Anybody have any solutions?

Go Ducks!

Apparently, according to Rob, Oregon men’s basketball has secured one of the top 10 recruiting classes in the nation. Right on! Now if we can just make it back to the tournament and past the first round, that’d be good.

Fahrenheit 9/11 Fact Checks

For all of you that say Fahrenheit 9/11 is completely false and full of lies, I present you Michael Moore’s fact checking. If you want to download the movie (since Mr. Moore doesn’t care), there are good BitTorrent directions here.

You may (or may not) have heard of Real Doll (site isn’t safe for work). Basically, what these things are is super-realistic sex toys. They’re disgusting, really. But if decide to buy one, and it breaks down from…well…over use, there’s apparently somebody that will fix it.

C**t of the Week

From b3ta:

Regular readers will know we’ve recently been running URL redirects, i.e. taking an address like fuckingnazis.com and forwarding to the Barclays bank website.

That site’s been added to my “check every seven days” folder, just to see who he points it to.

A Better “Hold The Button”

Remember Hold The Button, the game that challenged you to see how long you could hold down the button on your mouse? This game is just like that, but the button moves. What did you score? Link via b3ta.

Alternative Handwriting Styles

Every college student (or reporter) should learn one of these. It will enable them to write a lot faster. I used the “drop all the vowels from words” method when I was in college.
