You know, when I first read that they (and by they I mean Hollywood) were thinking of remaking Akira into a live action movie, I was skeptical, but willing to give it a shot. I didn’t know who Ruairi Robinson was, but hey, that doesn’t mean anything. Then Ben hooked me up with a more [...]

Well now that winter finally seems to have arrived here in NYC (spring having ended this weekend), you’re probably looking for a nice hat to keep the ol’ noggin warm. Look no further than this R2-D2 beanie! You know you want it - to deny it is to deny your true self. You will definitely [...]

Yo, check it. Wikitravel is doing this new thing where they are printing up to the month travel guides based on their wiki. They’re a little light on breadth - they’ve only got Chicago and Singapore so far. Still it could be interesting - how often does it suck when you’re rocking your 4 year [...]

Celebrate good times. Come on! I thought that my WiMax dreams were dead. Dead, dead, dead. Happily, it seems that Clearwire and Sprint have gotten back together thanks to some timely matchmaking by Intel (oh and by matchmaking I mean, $2 billion). It seems like this is potentially a win for everyone, since it let’s [...]

Presidential Art and a Presidential Monday
Well, it’s President’s Day today and patriotism.org ’splains how this holiday came about from both Washington and Abe’s big days. Holiday today, so y’know… I’m on an abbreviated posting schedule here at the ol’ blog.

Ok, what’s the deal with British people? I think they are overly concerned with “anti-social” behaviour. What with all those CCTV’s they love. Now I’m reading about that Mosquito device that emits some annoying high pitch sound that only the kids can hear that makes them go away - apparently it’s installed in 3,500 locations [...]

Monday Art… on a Wednesday!!
K. Another tale of a cop mishandling you skaters (see the other tale). Here we have the youtube showing this cop just losing it. Apparently being called “dude” or “man” is too much for him to bear - he decides to scream at the kid, take his skateboard, put him in [...]

Ok, I’m still not feeling well, but better… so here’s a brief one for yas.
First check out the Modu. This is pretty sweet - a tiny little guy with some baseline functionality that you plug into “jackets” to provide increased functionality. Sort of like a jacked up flash card that you plug into a dumb [...]

Do you watch The Wire? I don’t, but the folks I know who do love it. More than that Freakonomics has been publishing a series of posts wherein they’ve got a Columbia sociologist sitting down in a room with a few gang members (young and old) who watch the show and then comment on it. [...]

Hey! Happy Chinese New Year! This is the Year of the Rat (wood rat, as a matter of fact) which just so happens to be my year. That’s right, I’m a Rat (a water rat, if you must know). You know what that means? I’m old.
So. Diebold. It’s not like our voting machines need to [...]
