Guess the title and link say it all.  Interesting site.  Good articles.  Well worth the time.

Body Language v 0.03

Not safe for work. Not porn just nudes making letters with their bodys. Wild stuff.

Lie By Lie

Track the timeline of lies that the administration has told us with Mother Jones. Thank you, Mother!

The Hipster - A Personal Trailer - Gizmodo

These look like they would be perfect for use on trails and such for multi day hikes instead of backpacks. Would allow a much heaver load to be carried with less wear and tear to the person.

5 Ways To Peak Your WiFi Feng Shui: Featuring the Radiolabs Stage 1 Parabolic Antenna - Gizmodo

More wifi goodness.  I think I’m gonna get a wifi usb dongle and use a old DishTV dish to mount it on and try that.    Got at least two around here somewhere that are junk.

Fork & Bottle - The Artisan Food, Wine & Cheese Gastronomic Portal for Culinary Adventurers

This looks like some seriously good eats!  Gonna have to spend some serious time looking and reading.

I hope they are anyway.  Added the archives/ back into the custom field and now they are showing the page instead of a 404.  If they are still broken please comment to this post.

When I redid the site today I restructured the archived things according to the way wordpress said to and now stuff is broken when people are doing searches.  If you are here from yahoo or google you may try removing the “archive/” from the link they gave you and it may get you to the right page.   Guess it’s back to the drawing board. Will see what I can do.

Gasoline, diesel, and turbine engines could soon burn cleaner or be more fuel efficient through the application of Plasma Assisted Combustion, a technology originated and developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory, and now poised to enter the marketplace.

Interesting article.

CrunchNotes » Apple Sends a NastyGram

Another reason to move to linux or unix. Idiots…

Update:  I seem to be getting a number of hits from CrunchNotes from this link, so will expand on my short and reply above.
I have used (off and on) Macs since ‘87 or so and Apples before that.  Cat (my SO) and I currently own and use two iBook G4s, but after having Apple increase the level of DRM to a most unacceptable point, quit updating the OSs.  They are both still at 10.3.9 and I have no plans to ever update the MacOS. I am waiting for a linux distro that works with the Apple wifi cards at a reasonable distance from the hub. At that point I will wipe the DRM infested MacOS’s off the hd’s and install Linux as the only OS on the machines.

This stupid email to CrunchNotes by Apples lawyers is just one more instance that the company that I used to love is now run by the legal/accounting departments instead of the geeks that used to work and thrive there. So chalk another defection from the Happy Mac Owners club to DRM and idiot lawyers.

And by the way, I noted, in some of the comments on CrunchNotes, that this SAME video the lawyer is bitching about is available on the Apple site, so I’m wondering if the situation at Apple legal is so bad that they have no idea what is going on in the company.  As I said above - Idiots!

Another Sci-Fi writers website. More good stuff! Worth the look and bookmark.

This is taken directly from John Bailey’s site and can be seen in it’s original form at the link above.

Not that the amount of wine he suggests will do much for the liver but it should certainly make the Corned Beef Hash more palatable.

The Swedish Pirate Party presents their election manifesto at Torrentfreak

Sounds like my kind of folks. They have some very good ideas here. Doubt that any of it will ever come to the US of A but one can hope.

Hornmassive, One Big-Ass Horn - Gizmodo

Now that’s one big horn! Front row center anyone? What’s that can’t hear a word you’re saying…

Fine unlicensed software users, says BSA | The Register

Yea that’s right, we need MORE restrictions and laws.  Actually what needs to happen is to get rid of the BSA asshats.  Second best thing is to move to linux or unix and tell them to go piss up a rope should they decide to check you.

UNEASYsilence » The Death Star of WiFi Devices

This may be just what I have been needing to get networking at the other trailer about 600 feet away from here. Now to see where it can be found and what OS’s it will work with.

UNEASYsilence » It glows when you blow!

Some design concepts need to die a quick and quiet death. The breath powered led nose ring is one of them. For more details and a pix follow the above link…

Must be Technorati screwed up somewhere.  I’m posting this crap to give it something to get a bite on if it ever does catch on …

Just tried to send a note to support and had their system kick me to search.  So tried again and it seems to have gotten through.  Still not indexing this site.

Went to the Wordpress site and did a search on this problem and they don’t show any posts since April but the ones there say that this is most likely a problem with Technorati so guess I will wait and see if they answer the email and then go from there.

Now got wordpress 2.0.4 and as of just now Technorati is still not showing my new posts.  I must not be holding my mouth right or something.
