Monitor that turns off when not in use... →
All this and more in this month’s “Duh” magazine. Ahh how I miss Norm Macdonald and his weekend updates. Here’s the gist of that article. Fujitsu has developed a monitor that completely shuts off when it is not getting a signal. Wow! Why did this take so long? See, normally a monitor goes into “standby” mode when it doesn’t get a signal, but that just...

New Coldplay Single →
Hit that link to get the new Coldplay single. It will be available 12PM UK time… so as of this writing, it isn’t available yet. I don’t even know if it’s any good, but I hope they don’t just try to recreate the success of “A Rush Of Blood To The Head” like they tried to do with “X & Y.” From what I’ve seen it seems to be...

“a televised train wreck that my friend and colleague Greg Mitchell has already...”
– Seriously. I didn’t watch the Pennsylvania debate myself as I forgot about it, but now I’m really glad I missed it. Here’s the google cache link to that article that the quote is from. The post on the original site seems to have been taken down… which is interesting. Before I continue, I should say...
Super Mario Bros. done in 14kb of Javascript? Why... →
I feel like I need to cleanse myself after all that “beamz music system.” Mario done entirely in Javascript seems like a good way. Check it out before Nintendo finds out and decides to get it taken down. Here is the page all about it for those that care. By far my nerdiest post yet. It won’t be the last…
Why? Why?!?! →
In that link up there you will find a review of the product I posted about below. It was done by Popular Mechanics and includes a video review. I’m almost positive this guy was paid for this review because what other reason could there be? If he honestly and truly thinks that this piece of crap is worth anywhere near $600 and is even remotely cool. Well he must be getting something out of it...
Help Rivers Cuomo write a song via youtube! →
It’s a cool idea. If I had some song writing skills I’d give my input, but I know where my strengths and weaknesses are. Maybe you’ve got what he wants. The link up there is to step 3b in the process. He’s actually on step 4 right now. P.S. For those who don’t know who that is… it’s the front man for Weezer.

My mirage red RG1570 has served me well over the years and were something to happen to it, I would be very sad. I’d buy it again too… though it wouldn’t be the same. They no longer sell the mirage red finish…
... but would settle for this. →

WatchAwesome Korean drummer. Most likely the inspiration for Animal the Muppet. Also probably drumming to a completely different song.
Something for the Mac user who isn't part of the... →
Want your Mac to boot up silently without that old (seemingly mandatory) Apple boot up sound that you can’t silence even if you plug in headphones? Then you’ll need to download and install the program in that link up there called Startup Sound. It will get added to you preferences pane. There you can turn the sound down or completely mute it. I did both since it didn’t seem to...
“Demand Is DOWN, Yet Prices Are UP
Just so we can all get on the same page,...”
– A great article at businessweek.com on how there really is no oil shortage and it’s all just speculation and a cover up for something else. I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling some rage.
