Just sharing the cuteness. Good Photoshopping job if you ask me.

Installing WordPress Locally Under Windows XP
Modifying a working blog is always a pain in the arse, one mistake to a style sheet and everything is screwed up. Plus figuring out themes and plug ins can be a royal mess. What you need is a staging area so you can test things out. I usually use my old Mac G3 running PHP and MySQL to see how things work. If you don’t have a second computer you can follow these instructions and go to town with the mods and never have to worry about screwing up the production site.

The Banana Jr. 6000
This is so darn cool. The computer made famous by the 80’s comic strip ‘Bloom County‘ has been re-born as a file server! I’ve wanted to build one of these for years, it’s nice to see that someone has finished one up. This one looks as if it started out life as a Mac SE/30, the original was based on a Mac 128 if memory serves me right. The floppy is in the right place on that model. Still, it looks real cool. Anyone have any cartoon inspired case mods out there that they would like to share? I need to pick up some yellow paint on the way home tomorrow don’t I…

Driv-e-moticon – LED Message Screen For Your Car
Nice one there, for about $20USD you can have an LED sign in your car that will display the handy messages "thanks" and "back off". It will also display a happy face and a sad face. Just the thing to let other drivers know how your feeling. It would be cool if it used a big LED matrix that you could program but the chances of someone pissing off people with language that was, shall we say less than clean, is a sure thing.
Helps you improve communication with other drivers & express yourself. Fix display module to rear windscreen & use remote control in the front of the car. Battery operated – No Wires – Single and Multiple message options.

Young FrankenSteve (That’s Ballmerstine)
I’m happy to see that more people think that Microsoft’s Steve Ballmer resemblems the monster in Young Frankenstine.
Dance monster, dance!
Epson A6 QXGA Electronic Paper
The technology of thin film displays marches on. I’ll take my place in line for a roll up computer monitor as soon as they hit the streets.
Epson announced that they successfully developed a A6 (7.1") QXGA (1536×2048) Electronic paper using the SUFTLA Technology (Surface-free technology by laser annealing) son poly-Si TFT-LCD.?
In order to realize electronic devices on plastic film, new technology has been developed that enables the transfer of thin-film devices from an original substrate to another substrate by using laser irradiation. This technology was termed SUFTLA, which stands for surface-free technology by laser annealing. A polycrystalline-silicon thin film transistor (poly-Si TFT) back-plane for liquid crystal displays (LCDs) with integrated drivers was fabricated using a low-temperature process (below 425/spl deg/C) and could be successfully transferred from a glass or quartz substrate to plastic film using this technology. This technology enabled us to fabricate an all-plastic substrate TFT-LCD having a display area of 0.7 in measured diagonally and a pixel count of 428/spl times/238. In addition, the operation of the integrated drivers and the displayed image could be confirmed for the first time in the world.
