Breakfast Links: Ants, Mixtape Stories & Rating Wives
Ok, poor Texas. Remember back in the 80’s when Texas was going to be the first US stop for the northerly migrating killer bees? Oh, I guess they actually got there. Well, now guess what? They just imported some ants that love to eat their electronics. (via) The “crazy rasberry ants” stowed away on some [...]

Video built of clips from various security cameras!
Ok, this is pretty awesome. The Get Out Clause, a Manchester band, decided they ought to film their video using security cams from various places and then securing the clips from their owners using the Freedom of Information Act. Apparently only about a quarter of those requested allowed the clips out, but that was enough. [...]

Breakfast Links: WiMax, NIN & Legos
Well from the ashes of disaster perhaps WiMax springs, renewed? Apparently a new consortium is in town, with Google, Intel, Comcast and Time Warner throwing their lot in with Sprint and Clearwire. Normally, I’d be concerned that Comcast and Time Warner were coming in, what with them increasingly in competition with the telcos, but A) [...]

Breakfast Links: WiFi Sky, Wall*E & 1000 Albums
I think this is good news. A new service gogo is hitting the friendly skies and offering WiFi to Virgin America and American Airlines. It’s going to use EVDO to offer in flight 802.11 to everyone - as long as VOIP is cut off so I don’t have to hear my seat mate yapping about [...]

Afternoon Awwwww… Extreme Hamster Storage
Ok, folks, we’re continuing with our animals eating series. First was the hedghog then the cat & raccoon now we’ve got a hamster. This hamster decides to store what appears to be his own body weight in his cheeks. Then in a stroke of genius… it goes in reverse. Don’t take my word on it… [...]
Sad Mac
Well. My poor iMac seems to have shorted a backlight, or something. As you can see by my lovely iPhone pic, the lower half of my screen is all dark - makes things slower for moi. Hence the not much posting… need to bring it in to the see the Genius’s this weekend, hopefully it’s [...]

Breakfast Links: Apple, NIN & Trains
Bangin’ art for a post leap Monday.
This one’s making the nerd rounds - turns out Cosmopolitan has decided that Apple stores are the best place to look for a “fun fling” or “long-term relationship”! In brilliant link bait fashion it says “The vibe at the stores is conducive to man meeting too: You can [...]

Cover Story: One - REM v. U2
I love covers. I really love covers. I think it’s interesting to see how different musicians interpret the same song. I stumbled on this video of REM (with some U2 backup in Larry and Adam) covering One. Now, just so you know where I’m coming from a) I think One is an amazing song. Really [...]
Under Pressure?
Pressing down on you? That’s OK.
A handful of covers, the original and… Vanilla Ice. (oh, you have to wade in awhile to get the Keane one going)
This one went out to the one I love
R.E.M. just released like a boatload of videos for the first single off their new album under Artistic License 2.0, which is Perl’s OSS license. Good times. I would try and make a lot more R.E.M. references, but instead you can just read this one which does quite a good job of it - it’s [...]
