Macworld UK – Apple acts to foil Jobs biog
This has been posted all over the mac sites but I wanted to give $0.02. I think it is funny that they titled the book iCon. You could certainly take that boths ways, but I get the impression they are being procative about the title insinuating [...]

Apple – Trailers – Serenity
I really liked this show. I am glad that at least they are doing a movie with contingent plans on two more if the first does well. I hate Fox for taking shows like this, and then canceling them.

What’s a liger?

10ft Liger who’s still growing…
Deb: What are you drawing?
Napoleon Dynamite: A liger.
Deb: What’s a liger?
Napoleon Dynamite: It’s pretty much my favorite animal. It’s like a lion and a tiger mixed… bred for its skills in magic.

But Hercules is very much living flesh and blood – as he proves every time he opens his gigantic mouth [...]

Interesting series of photos on an interesting site.

The story goes like this: For years in this region, there has been an urban legend about a place called “The BigBoy Graveyard”..It was like the lost Elephant Graveyards of Africa or something…People all heard of it, but nobody had actually seen it with their own eyes. Well [...]

Not sure yet if this is cool or not, aske me after I’ve had my coffee.

Thats basically it for this project, although Im sure you are wondering ‘how does it sound?’ In a word, shit. However in its favour it is very loud, presents music quite acceptably, and is perhaps a little controversial.

[update]
I’ve had [...]

Another case of a store manager and local police going out of their way to screw up someone’s life. Maybe this lady and the $2 bill guy should start a club.

A jury has awarded $1.2 million to a mother [...]

Nice review of an expensive case. I’m not sure how handy a touch screen on the front would be since I’d expect to use a remote for most operations, but it’s certainly a nice geek feature.

I am a computer junkie. Nothing gets me going [...]
