Eclectic junk from the four corners of the ‘Net. And pictures too!
I like anthropomorphic computer equipment, it makes it feel better when you have to bash it about to make it work… Just kidding! These cable are just the thing to liven up your work space, heck if you have these your going to want to plug and un-plug your iPod again and again. I like the color codes on them too, very handy.

Looks like a lot of fun but would be quite hard to play. You would find out who the leader of your game was real fast.
Two characters occupy two parallel worlds. The roles of each player change depending on the level. They can only affect objects in their own world but they depend on each other to complete each level. For exemple, one level has one player attempting to navigate a maze to reach the level’s exit portal, while the other player has to fight off enemies. In many ways this mechanic is the puzzle equivalent of a three-legged race, in that players must worry about events in their world while accommodating the goals of their counterpart. Direct competition will get both players nowhere, as both must reach the exit to complete the level.

Hum, looks to be about the same price as the Libre from Sony.
…sporting a 400MHz XScale processor, 64MB RAM, 224MB user-accessible internal flash memory, WiFi, Ethernet, 3.5-millimeter audio jack, and slots for SD and CF cards as well as USB drives. iRex claims over a week of three-hour-a-day reading sessions are possible between charges, and also promises to expand upon the PDF, XHTML, TXT, and MP3 formats that will supported at launch.
If I had a coupon or a gift card I’d buy one. Heck, if someone loans me one I’ll review it. I do all my reading on my PDA right now anyway so moving to a nice sized device like this would be a real treat. So with that said, if anyone needs a review done on their eBook product speak up and email me (look on the right for my addy).
Now this is a cool idea. Little lenses that fit on your cell phone to give the camera in it special effects. Wide angle, telephoto, distortions… Pretty cool! And when not in use they have their own lens cover and chain to keep it with the phone, after all it wouldn’t be of much use if you didn’t have it handy when you needed it.
My friend Mark remarked upon the death of Casper Weinberger, that he was reminded of the poem that appeared in the comic strip Bloom County (my generation’s ‘Doonesbury’):
How I love to watch the morn,
with golden sun that shines,
up above to nicely warm
these frosty toes of mine.
The wind doth taste of bittersweet,
like jasper wine and sugar
I bet it’s blown though other’s feet,
like those of… Casper Weinberger
These look pretty classy, if I ever have to use crutches I hope thay look as nice as these.
