My day is officially made....

Commented on Video: man in Japan weds anime game character

Commented on Video of Tiny Tim performance mentioned in Pynchon's Inherent Vice

Commented on Coffee-and-mad-science party video

I can't imagine this being good without time for the beans to properly degass....

Commented on MAKE's Halloween contest

Whew...thanks for tonights nightmare...I was worried I wouldn't have anything in the queue but now I can retreat to the safety of the bed with that in my head....

Commented on Crazy organic bread-slicer sign for crazy organic bread eaters

Talk to your eco-douchebag government. They actually regulate stuff like this. For example, if you are roasting coffee beans, organic beans can't touch the same scoop that non-organic beans do or they become non-organic...whatever that means....

Commented on Review: 3 Reasons Why Nokia's N97 Is a Bummer

Another reason I dumped my Nokia stock months ago....

Commented on Pneumatic alarm-clock that wakes you by bouncing the bed up and down

But can it bring me cheese and dress me?...

Commented on Review: Six months with the Tom Bihn "Western Flyer" travel bag

Personally price is never an option for me when it comes to any baggage. With the abuse bags endure, quality is better than shelling out for new stuff every couple of years... My Tumi bags are going on 3 years...

Commented on "The Shortest Line I've Ever Seen For an iPhone"

I think it is more likely you can just order it online...plus there aren't many upgrade options...I can't upgrade until next Feb...and this bump isn't quite big enough to justify $500....

Commented on Video: Dell's design VP Ed Boyd shows off their prettiest laptops

#10...kinda a funny point...you know Apple got a lot of crap for portraying Mac's as guys who kinda look like Ive, and PCs as dorks in a windbreaker and buttoned down shirt...and you couldn't have a better PC stereotype than...

Commented on Video: Dell's design VP Ed Boyd shows off their prettiest laptops

Wait...did he just say it has leather??? Is it Corintian Leather? What's next, brass finishes and woodgrain accents? Maybe an option for velour palm rests? What's kinda interesting (and what annoys me) about the PC makers out there is that...

Commented on United Airlines wants to charge large people for two seats

#30 I am guessing that obese may claim they are handicapped. I'll bet money that obese folks can get handicapped stickers for their cars...so why not argue their size is their handicap? Look...obesity is serious and sad to see, but...

Commented on Iain Reekie's posthumous <em>Grim Fandango</em> custom toys

MUST HAVE!!!...

Commented on Dubai bashing and 'what-aboutery': Joi Ito

#24 Joi "I guess that if I felt the journalist really cared about the people, I'd be more supportive and sympathetic." Wait...so if the journalist cares about human rights violations or poor conditions then we should all get on the...

Commented on Dubai bashing and 'what-aboutery': Joi Ito

#3 Perfectly stated and perfectly sound argument....

Commented on Phil Spector and his spectacular hair convicted of murder

Actually I hear the hair has filed an appeal....

Commented on NDA! Laptop Lauren can't say what she thinks of that $700 HP

#17: Do I? I'm not sure I included a definition of "everyone." But okay...why not...everyone meaning a huge amount of commenters on the previous post and in articles around the web all proclaimed how great this ad was. Now it...

Commented on NDA! Laptop Lauren can't say what she thinks of that $700 HP

I think what's funny is when this ad came out everyone was all "finally an ad that tells the truth about Macs!" Now that the "real person" is a SAG member, working actor, and her laptop turns out to be...

Commented on Microsoft's best anti-Apple ad yet

BTW...I'm not saying Windows users are cheap...I'm just saying that this strategy seems to be targeted towards a "cheap" demographic instead of stressing value and better user experience....

Commented on Microsoft's best anti-Apple ad yet

I just find it amazing that MS is deflecting the crappiness of their OS by attracting attention to the "if you are cheap, we're the company for you," argument. Seems silly. You don't see McDonalds doing ads against In and...

Commented on Microsoft's best anti-Apple ad yet

I think Dan Gruber of Daring Fireball says it best: http://blog.seattlepi.com/microsoft/archives/165113.asp Odd new Microsoft commercial, which purports to show a real person named Lauren trying to find a new 17-inch laptop for under $1000. She goes into “the Mac store”...

Commented on Anti-capitalists Attack Banker's Home and Mercedes: "This is Just the Beginning."

#48 I don't work in the financial system. I make a decent but not fancy living. I didn't try to get rich "quick." I didn't put all my money in the markets. I also didn't participate in taking a mortgage...

Commented on Anti-capitalists Attack Banker's Home and Mercedes: "This is Just the Beginning."

My point above about this not being "funny" and certainly not the best way to handle the situation is based on the historic fact that it is a slippery slope down this road. What starts as revenge against fat cats...

Commented on Anti-capitalists Attack Banker's Home and Mercedes: "This is Just the Beginning."

Can I ask...why is this tagged as "funny?" While I do believe many bankers/financial experts likely belong in jail, I think the escalating rhetoric here in the states and abroad regarding guns, overthrowing governments, and revenge are only going to...

Commented on India releases $2,200 car

#16 I'm not sure how this is eco friendly...the idea of producing cheap disposable cars to increase the fuel consumption of one of the most populace nations on the planet seems to be a step backwards. While I'm sure it...

Commented on India releases $2,200 car

Well another nail on the coffin of Mother Earth....

Commented on Joe Hutsko, Energy Detective

#13: Ecobee claims...and I'm reviewing it to find out, that their unit will pay for itself from energy savings in one year. But it also has a few other cool tricks. For example, if your thermostat calls for heat and...

Commented on Joe Hutsko, Energy Detective

Is it as fancy as this? http://ecobee.com Mine is getting installed next week....
