• Commented on N.A.S.A. feat. Tom Waits + Kool Keith: "Spacious Thoughts"
  Well, that was fun!...
• Commented on Guestblogger: Arthur Goldwag, author of Cults, Conspiracies, and Secret Societies
  How peculiar! Having never heard your name nor seen your book before, I happened upon it at Kramerbooks on Hallowe'en night, and gave it a good flipping through… Later looked it up on Amazon, lot of naysayers there, not very...
• Commented on My son, the nude model
  Life modeling has always come extremely easy to me, for whatever reason. I would never imagine that it would be simple, but for some reason just sitting there and not moving, not twitching, not blinking is completely freeing - I...
• Commented on NASA to irradiate monkeys
  Project X?...
• Commented on Hallowe'en is safe
  …I got a rock!...
• Commented on Taste Test: red kuri squash
  Possibly my favorite squash! Very much like the taste of pumpkin, only deeper, more intense. If you like acorn & pumpkin, give it a go… Hope they start showing up around me soon, so far it's just been pumpkins, acorns,...
• Commented on "Close. The. Box. Walk away"
  That is fan-freaking-tastic!...
• Commented on Boing Boing: The World's Greatest Neurozine!
  Folks complaining about the use of 'Comic Sans' - learn yer fonts! BPreplay is the name of the game. It's an ugly font, it has god-awful metrics, but calling it Comic Sans is still a bit harsh....
• Commented on Boing Boing: The World's Greatest Neurozine!
  @gibson5string, I've gotten permission errors trying to search on Offworld recently, so I think they may be having some issues… Really can't say that the new headline font is aesthetically appealing at all, one bit… But whatever, I come here for...
• Commented on Honda's U3-X is the new segway
  …in where, in where?! :)...
• Commented on Microsoft announces an end to coffee rings
  Wait, what? This just looks like a Surface to me… Which isn't vaporware by any means… I've been to a few hotels that had them peppered all over… And you most certainly can put drinks on them… You could put your feet up...
• Commented on Retro Remakes: Square Enix reviving PC shooter <em>Thexder</em> for PSP
  @2 - pre-console? Was released in 1985, the third-generation console era… The same year it was released on the PC, Square started the NES port. Not sure when that port actually got released, but I don't think it was too far...
• Commented on Results of Creative Commons' "noncommercial use" study
  @2, Guess it's agree-to-disagree time… As an artist who embraces CC, I can think of nothing more dick than restrictive SA/GPL licenses. I hate the idea of telling someone 'yeah you can use my work, but now you have no...
• Commented on Pretty designer juicer with integrated seed-stopper
  My juicer has a seed catcher, it's called my freaking hand… In all seriousness, this really doesn't look like it would work as well as just straining the juice through your fingers, plus it would take up about twice as...
• Commented on Light bulb art shows wasted electricity
  @Jere7my, That explanation is just as useless… It simply shifts the ambiguity from the word 'waste' to the word 'inefficient.' It makes the intent a little more clear, but it's still just relying on one crazy light-bulb dude's interpretation of what...
• Commented on The 4 things gamers need to know about Apple's Rock 'n' Roll keynote
  The fact that not having an 'App Store' is just a matter of trademark is sort of a falsehood hiding behind a truth. I can't speak for the PSP, but I can say that the DSi Shop Channel (& Wii...
• Commented on Listen: Nullsleep, Random, No Carrier, Enso shape NES reality
  Random, or anyone else who might know - is there a download of the music anywhere? Love it, would like to be able to listen w/o firing up the emu…...
• Commented on Sony's WX1 shoots great in low-light
  So people didn't like Memory Stick just because of the price? I mean that was a kick in the face, I guess, but worse to me is that everone else (okay, screw you too Olympus) has been using SD for...
• Commented on Bling Benz: Awesome Or Awestentatious?
  Sparkles aside, is that seriously a Benz? From the side it reminds me of any generic early 90s convertible… Yeck....
• Commented on Brutal military dictatorship that backs Fiji Water
  @21, that response is… Completely unconvincing at best. I don't drink bottled water myself, because I see it as unnecessarily wasteful when I have a magical pipe that brings water right to my glass… But every once in a while it...
• Commented on Screw Key
  As a classic Saab Scania owner, I would just like to say that weighing down your keychain is no issue if your ignition is in the right place - down by your side, right between the shifter and the e-brake!...
• Commented on Sprint executive killed when boulder drops on his car.
  Yeah, Sprint is by no means my favorite corporation, but come on… Fellow died, and his family had to deal with trying not to die while they watched him die. Pretty awful....
• Commented on Gizmo with a weight added for extra heft
  Think the first time I encountered this was tearing apart Nintendo Zappers… Right near the tip of the barrel!...
• Commented on Shock PSA warns against texting at wheel
  @5 Rob, Fantastic retort :) Also, I didn't really comment on this in my first pass through the thread here, but I agree with #8 Tenn, it really is a good video… I feared it would be much cheesier than...
• Commented on Review: Audio Technica ATH-CK7 headphones
  To expand on what #2 said, having a terribly mismatched impedance can harm your amplifier (in this case, iPhone, though I haven't much experience with impedances seen on headphones… But a 2 ohm loudspeaker in a 16 ohm receiver can be...
• Commented on Laptop thief taunts victim on her Facebook Page
  Rather hilarious, guess that wouldn't be the case if this didn't make it so stupidly easy to snag the jerk…...
• Commented on Shock PSA warns against texting at wheel
  How about even if you think you can, just don't? Pull over? Just wait until you get to where you're going? It's crazy to me how people don't seem to respect the power and responsibility that they're given by driving...
• Commented on Burning Man Responds to EFF over fair use and photo rights attack
  Wait, how is that the issue?! I thought the issue was that they claimed ownership of all of your photos… Am I reading this response right? Basically something like 'we can't support CC because that would suggest the photographer owns...
• Commented on Even insiders don't know everything -- especially at Apple
  @3, Gruber is actually pretty critical of Apple when they fuck up. See anything related to app store, see partnering with AT&T…...
• Commented on Review: A week with the Panasonic Link-to-Cell home phone
  I'd been looking at solutions like this, and then Google Voice happened....
