From b3ta: “If you’re a bit on the plump side and are going to video tape your Star Wars fighting skills on a school camera, remember to remove the cassette when you’re done. Otherwise people will stick it on the internet and the whole world will laugh at your folly.” Link to movie mirrors (and don’t forget to see the remixed version, too — damn funny).
They look at porn all day, so others won’t be able to
While some pervs might think doing this job for a living would be great, downloading the worst of the worst, intentionally, would be no fun at all, and very stressful. Full Story.
A vertical keyboard?
The guys at Extremetech say it’s surprisingly easy to use and get used to. Odd.

The Mood Ring
Clearing out my inbox, have this joke from my cousin:
My husband, not happy with my mood swings, bought me a mood ring the other day so he would be able to monitor my moods. When I’m in a good mood it turns green. When I’m in a bad mood it leaves a big friggin’ red mark on his forehead.
I’m back :)
I’m impressed with Sager‘s RMA department. Four-business day turn-around (from when it left my office to when it came back) is wonderful!
Anyway, I’m back online and I’ll be plowing through my e-mail, and am going to try out SharpMT, and see if I can replace w.bloggar (as it’s an MT-specific blogging tool, so we’ll have to see). I’ll let you know how well it works.
Emerald slams Google for phone number lookup
OK, generally, I support most anything that the Emerald publishes, but any time they slam my favorite search engine without doing their homework, then I have to gripe.
I just posted a yet-to-be-moderated feedback to their site, that basically says this:
This is NOT a Google problem. This data is 1) Publicly available, and 2) Has been available online for years. Google just makes it far easier and intuitive. Do your homework, folks, and don’t slam a search engine as something that “violates online privacy” unless you realize that they weren’t the first ones to do it.
No blogging this weekend – and slim pickings for a week or two
Just an FYI, I’ll be at secret undisclosed location this weekend, and will be shipping my computer back to get some warranty repairs done on it (and my other system is so buried in crap at home that I don’t even know if I can get to it). In other words, posts will be few and far between for the next couple weeks or so (unless Ken and Gregg want to start posting a bit more…guys?). But I will be back and posting more as soon as I can.
