Tweel : The Airless Tire
When the heck did this happen? This looks like just about the coolest thing ever? Did I just completely miss this on the news or did other people too? Here's the press release and here's the photo gallery.
Click here to see the unveiling of the airless tire from michelin. It just looks crazy.
I love that goofy looking michelin man, but it's gonna take a lot more than his silly act to sell these things if they keep calling it the "tweel"

Curling gone wrong
Thanks to Nick for this article.
Curling first made its Olympic Debut in Nagano. Mostly played by Canadiennes and other penguins curling has suddenly slid again into the global sports spotlight. Sadly, this time it isn't the hot ice action that is catching people's eyes. It's curling's first Doping violation.
Mitchell Marks of University of Wisconsin claims that he did not refuse to take the drug test because of illegal substances in his system, but rather out of principle. He also claims that if he knew that there was going to be such a stink, he would have taken the test.
Marks has been put on a 2 year suspension and will not compete at the Turin Olympics next month year.

Man Pees himself out of an avalanche
Not sure if this is true or not, but it is a good story. Thanks to Dave for the article
A man got stuck in his car in an avalanche. He rolled down his window and tried to dig himself out, but realized it wasn't really working. In a move that would make McGuiver and any Wisconian proud, he started drinking.
He had 60 half litre's of beer in his car. He quickly realized that his urine could be used to melt the snow.
Rescue teams spotted him staggering along a mountain path four days later.
Any time someone gives you crap for drinking heavily, tell them this story and ask them to thank you because you're in training to save lives.

Free your iTunes
I know several of you have already asked me about this. You just got an iPod for Christmas, you started using iTunes, but now you're annoyed because you paid for a song that will only play in iTunes or your iPod.
Well now you can use Hymn, which is short for Hear Your Music aNywhere. This little program which should theoretically run on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux will take your little file and strip it of its encryption that Apple uses to DRM your file. This means, you should be able to play your stripped file on any device or application that supports AAC.
Now you'll be able to exercise your right to do whatever you want with the music you purchased including convert to mp3, backup, and play on any device.
Download the Java version here

Mp3's on the John
For those of you who can't get enough music everywhere, but refuse to take your laptop or ipod into the crapper with you, you may just be in luck.
TOTO, the japanese toilet maker has announced that it making an MP3 playing toilet. The mp3 playing toilet also apparently releases funny looking flowers to help distract you from that nasty brew that is sitting inches away from you.
Now to figure out what kind of music selection is appropriate for such a toilet?

Human Hybrids
So it seems like the new buzz on Hybrids won't be about gasoline electric cars, rather beings that are part human and part animal.
In a disturbing experiment, Chinese scientists have fused Human cells with Rabbit eggs. This just seems like a bad idea to me. When has making things that are part human part animal on TV or in Movies ever turned out to be a good idea?
Taking a page from cartoons, Scientists at Stanford plan on trying to grow mice with Human Brains. What happened on Tiny Toons when mice became super smart? Every single night, they tried to take over the world. Could you imagine the revenge and the revolution against humans and the rodent problem we would have when rat poison and mouse traps are useless and a trigger for a world war?
All joking aside, this kind of experimentation that crosses so many lines seems not only dangerous but highly unethical. They're talking about making mice produce human sperm and human eggs. Think of the implications of being the offspring of a mouse, not to even mention the your momma jokes and awkward parent teacher conferences.
Another reason they want to produce chimeras is to create animals that produce replacement human parts. These animals would be created in a lab and would just wait around to be harvested for their human organs. This kind of crazy mad science seems selfish, irresponsible, and dangerous.

Play almost every video game ever made
Ah, If my parents had only kept me in a time capsule for 15 years, they could have saved so much money. Now you can go to this website and play what appears to be almost every single nintendo, sega, and game boy game as well as a few arcade games.
This is done through a java based emulator so you will need java installed before you continue.
If you're ready to go, go to this website to start playing.
For those of you running firefox, it seems to work better if you try Internet Explorer for this one.

Yah, would you like Fries with that?
Looks like IT isn't the only thing that is being outsourced. It seems that taking orders at the drive up window is too hard ot time consuming for people working at 14 McDonalds in the Northwest (Oregon and Washington). So McD's brought in a call center based in Grand Forks ND. When you roll up to one of these McD's the voice that is talking to you isn't actually in the building. Which I guess is a good thing, because people were starting to wonder why everybody working at McDonald's in Oregon had a North Dakota accent. Personally it seems like alot of work to get your order. Anyways here's your link to a news story: Outsourced McD's

Some people are amazing
Well this company has solved the world's energy problems. Laptops will work longer, Electric cars will go farther, and your cell phone will work longer. All according to non-independent testing.
By attaching a Batmax non-ceramic sticker onto you battery, not only do you increase battery life up to 100%, reduce charging time, but also reduces weight in your wallet. He calls it vitamins for your battery.
People who make crap like this and those stupid antenna stickers should be shot.
UPDATE 1-23-05 Perhaps I should try the product before I dismiss it so quickly. The makers of the batmax are sending me a product to test and review. Look for an update on it later.

Robots and Islam
these two stories from cnn.com caught my eye today.
story one: "Rat cells grown onto microscopic silicon chips worked as tiny robots, perhaps a first step towards a self-assembling device."
once again note, SELF-ASSEMBLING, scary...
story two: "2 million Muslim pilgrims prayed for salvation Wednesday at Mount Arafat, where Saudi Arabia's top cleric said the greatest test for the nation of Islam comes from its sons who are "lured by the devil," a reference to violent Muslim militants."

Get rid of comment spam part 2
We installed MT-blacklist before in attempts to reduce comment spam, but this is more a passive approach to the growing list of comment spammers on the web.
Google in conjunction with other major blog players on the web have come up with a new standard to make comment spam unprofitable.
Basically, people leave comment spam to a URL for something like pharmaceuticals on hundreds of little blogs. This is easily done because most comments are inserted the same way into blogs and it provides spammers an easy way to publish links to their sites on hundreds of websites at a time. To make this effort useless, Google has suggested all bloggers start using a new tag on all URL'S submitted to comments that will make it so that the link will not boost a URL's search score.
If you're using a public blogging service like blogger or blogspot, you should be already covered. If you're running a service like movabletype you'll have to find a way to modify your install. Fortunately for movabletype users this is easy enough.
Your comments will change in the code of the document but should work the same as before. As an Example:
That comment would be transformed to
Links created outside of the comment section will be left alone.
Hopefully this will be a proactive solution to get rid of comment spam soon.

So that Fantastic Four trailer that was attached to the Elektra movie (horrible movie) is finally out. While Jessica Alba is hot, and that doctor from Nip/Tuck is cool, I dont know about this movie. The Thing looks horrible, and I heard they had to reshoot the ending because it just couldn't compare to the ending of the Incredibles. Now if only this F4 movie were as cool as the real F4 .

foxfire... Firefox
I haven't posted in awhile... just wanted to let you all know that I am not dead (much to the chagrin of some people .... Bryant).... just been busy. Anyway this is a post about my love for Firefox
Dear Firefox,
This is my letter too you, that my stoopid IT Director is makng me write before I can take a lunch break. I use Mozilla Firefox... I like it alot. Its good. I also write at a 1st grade level. Did I mention that I like Firefox. The most badassed feature of it besides the tabs and all its other goodies (start typing and it starts finding), is the ability to have plug-ins. I LUUUUV my plug-ins. My favorite one is the Mouse Gestures. Just move the mouse in a certain pattern and BOOM the page is reloaded... or BOOM you've opened new tabs. Also view page in IE is really cool, especially for those stoopid pages that aren't Firefox friendly (like all of msdn.com. But there is another cool plugin called View in Firefox for IE. That's almost as much of a bomb as mouse gestures. Did I mention that I love Firefox. Thank you for reading this. I can go eat lunch now.

Ivy League
Looks like the Ivy League isn't as coveted as it used to be. Seems like fewer and fewer top execs are turning out to be ivy league graduates.
I like how the article describes the typical Ivy League school - "an old Eastern university where pride in high SAT scores compensates for pathetic athletic teams and lame parties."

Play Dumb, Ladies
I feel like I have to be very careful in how I present this article.
It seems like the trend lately is that men prefer subservient women. There's an interesting study referenced where the prospect of marriage for men increased 35% for each IQ increase of 16-pts, but for women it was a 40% drop. The writer (a woman) of this opinion article wonders "So was the feminist movement some sort of cruel hoax?"

Robot makers say World Cup will be theirs by 2050
When the scientists said that the world cup would be theirs did they actually mean to say "Robot makers say World will be theirs by 2050.
These vision robots already operate independently of humans. They go out and they play soccer. And apparently they play soccer really well. They experience no fatigue, full time 360 degree viewing abilities. They have tough robot shells, deadly robotic precision, and a cold cpu for a heart. Can you imagine the horrible things they will make us do once they rule the world?
Now does a team of these robots running around communicating silently with one another plotting to fire projectiles sound more like a sport or some sort of war game. Apparently my worries are not that crazy. Unprovoked, the creators of the robots get defensive and say that are not developing robot armies. I think its highly suspect.
As a defense, "All these advanced technologies have an element of risk and we can warn of the dangerous aspects of robots in human society," Mr Ishiguro shrugs, "but cars, for example, successfully collaborate with humans and have been safely integrated into society." But cars don't have opposable thumbs!
Who is going to let the robots play in the World cup anyways? And which country would they play for. Obviously, the robots plan on taking over a country, naming it robotopia or 01110010 01101111 01100010 01101111 01110100 01101111 01110000 01101001 01100001 in their language, and beginning an advanced society that can ruin us at soccer.
All I'm saying is that we better watch out because 2050 will be here before you know it.

New products from Apple
Apple announced two new products today. Both of them had been highly anticipated. Both of them are trimmed down less expensive versions of previously popular products.
The problem with apple products traditionally has been while they do have better design, their products were significantly more expensive than everyone elses. So if you wanted to dabble with the iPod, you need to shell out a few hundred duckets. If you wanted to dabble with OS X you had to shell out a few thousand duckets.
Now Apple is dropping the price points on these devices to unprecedented levels. They accomplished this by stripping down a lot of features. While they maintained good design, I think they missed a couple things that might prevent the Mac Mini and the iPod Shuffle from being complete successes.
While the Mac mini is really small and really cool looking, the specs on it look rather week. However due to its small footprint and even smaller design, people might forgive that it has fairly weak system specs. We'll see if this mac performs better with the 167 mhz bus than the eMac did.
I personally hate the lack of display on the ipod shuffle. I think it would be confusing to manage 1gb of music without any display. The form factor is kind of big for what it is, but again the price on the device might be the saving grace for this flash based non expandable mp3 player.
You can see photos of the Mac Mini and the ipod Shuffle in the extended version of this entry.

In the past, I've seen articles that show that you can find the first digital picture people have ever taken with their camera by doing similar searches using google image search.

Riduculous Lawsuits and the Ridiculous Lawyers who take them
Thanks to Ken for the Heads up on this:
The Michigan Lawsuit Abuse Watch holds an annual contest for the most ridiculous labels on products. These labels have come as a result of riduculous litigation by money hungry clients and lawyers who try and bilk money from others.
These lawsuits come from trial lawyers like John Edwards who have raised insurance levels to ridiculous levels endangering people's lives by limiting people's access to physicians.
Not only are these lawsuits expensive and dangerous, but they also result in stupid labels like these:
A flushable toilet brush that warns users, “Do not use for personal hygiene”
The $250 second place award went to Matt Johnson of Naperville, Illinois for a label on a popular scooter for children that warns: “This product moves when used.”
Third place and $100 went to Ann Marie Taylor of Camden, South Carolina who found the following warning on a digital thermometer that can be used to take a person’s temperature several different ways: “Once used rectally, the thermometer should not be used orally.”
Fourth place was a label on an electric hand blender promoted for use in “blending, whipping, chopping and dicing,” that warns: “Never remove food or other items from the blades while the product is operating.” Sent in by Ken Stein of Berkeley, California.
In fifth place was a label on a nine- by three-inch bag of air used as packing material. It carries this warning: “Do not use this product as a toy, pillow, or flotation device.”Sent in by Christen Millard of Westerville, Ohio.
The site also has another section in where they have a list of other ridiculous lawsuits called "loony lawsuits".

I'm a McMule
So I used to have an after school job as a waiter. Its pay was lousy.
After reading this, I kinda wished I lived in Australia once more.
It seems that international criminals recruited school kids to run money for them. These guys would get the bank information for the victims computer (through the usual way of spyway, virii, etc.) and then, this is the kicker, transfer the money out of the accounts into the kids account, in small doses. All the kids had to do was withdraw the money and give it to the criminals and they would get paid $500. Pretty good money for an after school job and no taxes. Although it probably wasn’t too smart on the criminals’ side, I don’t know that many kids with personal bank accounts in excess of $10,000.

Video Clip : Ashlee Simpson get's booed at Orange Bowl
Because people have been talking about it, i've decided to post about it. Ashlee Simpson is probably the worst thing to happen to America in about 4 years. Her poor dad has decided that he will make all of America suffer by trying to push her bad performances on us whether we like it or not.
Previously, We covered Ashlee's beautiful tribute to Milli Vanilli on Saturday Night Live. Her father came to her rescue then saying that Ashlee had been sick and that it was ok for her to lipsync.
Now, At the Orange Bowl, Ashlee Simpson performed "La La", and the audience appropriately replied with a chorus of boos. I wonder how her dad will save Ashlee when she was booed off the stage, can't really attribute that to acid reflux.
Here's the video clip of the event. Format is Windows Media Player.

No Excuse Left
At long last you have no excuse left if your guitar playing sounds like shite. Enter the StroboPick. Apparently, using light, is the preferred tuning method of professionals. At 35 bucks a pop, it seems a reasonable price to pay for such a small accurate tuner.
From their site
"Many musicians know about the high accuracy of stroboscopic tuners. StroboPick is no exception: it is possible to tune your guitar to as close as 1/10 of 1 cent (1/1000 of a semitone) simply by tuning until the colored reflections on the string stop moving. If you don't care about such precision - just tune until the reflections sort of slow down!"
While it is kind of cool, it is also limited. The user interface is done through one button, you can only tune to 6 preset tones, and i imagine, this tuner may be harder to use in bright light conditions like when you're outside or if you have a spotlight shining on you.
Nevertheless the geek in me is very smitten by this little device so I may purchase one of these and do a review on it later.

Bad Judgement Leaves 36 Kids Injured
New Years Eve in Times Square with Millions of people packed in went off without a hitch. There was no terror or any major accidents. More drama happened in North Dakota on New Years Eve. On an all night New Years Eve Extravanganza for 100 children, more than 1/3 were involved in a massive sledding accident.
Using sleds fashioned from card board, the youth group went to go sledding on a hill that had a sign that specifically had a no sledding sign posted. Then, they piled 8-10 people per cardboard sled and came down in rapid succession. According to Police Sgt. Winston Black, "The sleds struck rocks, a light pole and each other."
This event sent kids to the hospital and 36 wounded.
