Surfing The Web So You Don't Have To
And neither is bad spelling:
Boy does that ever make me want to suport their cause (which was, by the way, to put Bend’s Equal Rights Ordanince to voters). If you’re going to protest something, at least make sure it’s an intelligent protest, with intelligent spelling.
This has to be one of the most disturbing things I’ve ever seen:
The Star Trek apartment is the first and only one in the world.
Watching Star Trek, buying the merchandise, going to the conventions and talking Trek is what millions of Star Trek fans do all around the world.
Whilst all of that is exciting, I have chosen another, and more extreme option – live the experience 24/7.
LCARS, Ops units, voice activated lighting, back-lit panelling, various lighting effects, Transporter Pads and a full scale Transporter Control Console with built in sound effects are just some of the many features included in the sale of this unique property.
As an interior designer, and science fiction fan, I have always wanted to break with traditional interior design and try something a little more exciting and challenging.
As a fully convicted science fiction fan, living in a spaceship environment is about as exciting as it gets.
If I don’t sell my apartment I will continue to enjoy the pleasure it has given me over the last four years.
Some people need to really get out more. There are more pictures of this apartment here.
I can see this being useful in making Firefox useful for the masses. Some developers are attempting to make Firefox look and act just like MSIE. Now if somebody can just write a worm that goes around the net and replaces MSIE with this, we’d be good to go and nobody would be the wiser. Really. Thanks Neil for the link.
This time brought to you by Jesse, who decided to whip it together in a few hours last night. I can’t control the damn space ship, and I’ve only totaled 3 points on this before dying. That thing needs a brake or something as I can’t seem to keep it in control, but maybe it’s just me.
b!x is looking for money to enter the Online Journalism Awards competition for the Portland Communique. It’s a great site, and should win an award, and I think he’s got a great chance of winning. He’s looking to get $200 to enter in a couple categories, so make sure you contribute.
It’s a photoshop boob job, all in the name of selling movie tickets.
I’ve got a Red Gameboy Advance SP with “Scooby Doo Mystery Mahem” as well as an Intec Wing Grip (looks like this thing). The case is scuffed up, but everything on there works and functions fine. I don’t have the AC Adapter/charger for it, but it powers up and runs fine, it appears. Backlight works. I really don’t know what else to test on it, as I’m not a GBA whiz, but e-mail me if you have specific questions.
I’m not looking to sell this. If I get your cash, I’ll spend it foolishly. I’m looking to trade it for one or more of these things:
-512 MEG PC2100 (or better) SO-DIMM.
-An AIW (All in Wonder) Radeon or better AIW card (if I get one of these, I have a AIW Rage 128 that I’ll get rid of)
-A PDA — I just need something basic, but wouldn’t argue with something fancy ;-).
-Something interesting (just e-mail me, and I’ll see).
I’m getting some parts from an old computer so I might have some other stuff to play with. I’ll post here if I get anything useful.
E-mail or comment here if you have what I need.
Update on 7/19: I’ve posted pics here.
Update on 11/20: GameBoy is LONG gone. Sorry I didn’t update this a while ago.
I remember when I was a hardcore endurance athlete, I remember reading articles on the pros and cons of sex before competition, and even remember reading stories about how some women athletes would get pregnant just before the games and abort the pregnancy so they could reap all the hormonal and blood level benefits that come with pregnancy.
I did find this article entertaining, and it basically makes the Olympic village look like a giant party with lots of parties and lots of sex, and even quotes a psychologist that says “More sex means more gold.”
That’s just a few of the words I see on this giant boggle game. Thanks Dan for the link.
Anybody who knows anything about Web design and coding knows that Microsoft’s products, including it’s “Web developer” stuff, produce some of the nastiest HTML code imaginable. This Perl script will convert Microsoft’s “HTML” into something at least usable as a starting point to use online.
Now what somebody needs to do is take this perl code and put it online somewhere and make it usable so you can just put a URL into a form field, and have it clean it up, and spit back the results (I’m not nearly good enough in Perl to do that). I’m sure it would be a bandwidth/CPU hog, but it’d be so worth it.
