Digital Craftsman & Curator
Well, it looks like just about everything’s in place. Great job on lining up for the food provisions! You guys rock! 
Most of the walker positions have been filled as well. Any blanks can be filled on the spot… no worries.
So… just start praying for no rain!
Uhhhh… 
But… isn’t he dead?
That doesn’t matter anymore. As long as we’ve got some footage…
See how Warner Brothers reconstructed Brando’s face & speech patterns for the new Superman movie. Easily the coolest thing you’ll see this week!
warning: HUGE file…
city planning at its best
Have a look inside the secret world of North Korea, as seen through the lens of Artemii Lebedev, a web designer in Russia.
Seeing these photos make me place N. Korea just below Iraq on my "Top summer fun vacation Hot Spots!" list.
One of the funniest ideas in a while…
The Jimmy Kimmel Show has been taking "normal" video clips and adding in a dose of Unnecessary Censorship. Their timing is impeccable and the results are hilarious!
NSFW… but only if you have a dirty mind… 
It’s no Star Wars Cantina, but it sure looks like it. Watch "Gnarls Barkley" lol perform his song Crazy at the MTV Movie Awards.
Not a bad tune, but I can’t imagine this guy having another hit.
Have a look at Lindsay these days and she’ll usually be sporting this drop of RetsynTM.
A sign of teeth to come?
An odd motif, to be sure. But Warp Forest is a first-class puzzler, through and through. Probably one of the most solid, well put-together Flash games I’ve seen.
The object? Drive a car (a car?) equipped with lasers through a section of the forest, dodging dragons, spiders and laser-spouting cyclops trees. Collect all the keys, and head to the exit.
It’s one of the best puzzle games I’ve seen since the classic Adventures of Lolo, requiring logic, timing, and exploration. The graphics are handsome, animation is tight, and the music will have you bopping along in your chair.
Hope those of you interested in the Dell laptop deal were able to get in on it.
Today, the same model with almost all lower specs is available… with no router… for $250 more.
Coincidence that I came across this guy when doing yardwork yesterday…
on 6-6-6?!
I think not.
Can anyone identify the type of snake?
Wow. Dell is offering their Inspiron B130: Pentium-M (not a Celeron!), with WinXP, 1GB RAM, 40GB HDD, CD-RW/DVD combo drive, wireless networking… and free wireless router for $449.
If you’ve been looking for an affordable laptop, you would be hard pressed to beat this deal!
But as usual, you need to act fast. This deal just hit this morning, and could be pulled at any time (I’ve seen them expire by late afternoon!).
People love to speculate about what Google will do next…
Here is an interesting Top Ten list of products Google should develop, according to Mark Otuteye, a Stanford grad.
The Google Barcode is a neat idea (if taking a digicam pic, offloading to computer, then submitting to some engine would be pretty cumbersome). But the Google Pen is a great idea.
Write notes with pen on paper, just as we do today. Have each note archived for future reference at any time. OCR your words to transform into digital, searchable text. Circle/highlight words to perform wireless Google searches, and have the results read back on a 3-4 line LCD display?! The possibilites are endless, and would IMHO be a near revolution for students. (note: there are a few "digital pens" out there, like the io2, but the implementation is still rather clunky)
What do you think?

Second only to Stickman in its simplistic graphics, TurboTanks is still a game that relies on gameplay to deliver the goods.
Old schoolers may notice the similarity between this and Atari’s Combat. The premise is the same: shoot down your enemy’s tank(s).
A little knowledge of physics helps, as banking your shots is often a key to victory. The pool players among you may have an edge.
Make sure you have Java (free download) installed.
