If you missed it (as I did due to just not watching tv for the last 6+ years) its worth a look. Funny as hell!

The Pikasso 42-String Guitar Even Intimidates Jimmy Page – Gizmodo

I’m not real sure what to say here. This thing looks weird but then again it really looks weird. And with 4 necks is really different to say the least… 😉

Another shameless plug. Actually this is more than that as I have been adding links to a few authors websites and blogs over there. Trying to get back to work on several sites.

eBay, you just got to hate them when they pull crap like this.

Scientists Find Memory Molecule

This in the wrong hands is going to be a serious problem. Long term memory erasure. I can see at least some of the positive aspects too but seems that the negatives outweigh them by a large margin.

Tents! Large used army surplus tents. More than I want (or can afford) to spend but they have quite a selection and the prices aren’t that bad. Next time we get to Asheville NC I want to visit and see just what all they do carry.

THE MACHINE STOPS … E.M. Forster

Sci-fi story from 1909 that is the earliest known (to me) predictor of email/IMs and a world wide machine. Well worth the read.

Tropical Salvage >> The Products

Neat products. Weird / unhandy interface and no prices. Very nice products and an interesting business concept. Cool stuff.

Ponderer\'s Bench

From the site:

We call it a “ponderer’s bench” but, after your pondering, if you employ a couple of pillows you’ll find it’s an able snoozer’s bench, too. Your pondering doesn’t have to be very strenuous, either, to effect the transition to snoozing. In fact, you might snooze first and ponder later.

In any case, when you’re stirred to pondering, you might aim some of your thoughts at the bench’s solid construction and extraordinary carving. A ponderably sturdy bench. In 300 years its carving will still be pondered, its sturdiness still supportive of snoozes.

Constructed from 100% salvaged grade one tropical hardwood.
64″ long (or whatever you want) x 32″ high x 24″ deep.
Plain or carved.

Update on this OS.

Okay. I downloaded the live cd and burned it to disk. Rebooted the machine and after a short wait (much quicker than I have ever seen on this machine running any os) got a desktop of 640 x 480.

Found the display control and selected 1024×768 as the closest to correct for this flat screen display (which I need to put something up about) and made the switch. Res looked fair so kept it.

Then tried to get a network connection but gave up after a few minutes of not getting what to do.

Probably just me but I don’t think this is a ready for prime time os. Will look at the network setup and see if I can find a way to get the full 1440×900 out of the monitor setup. If I can get these two items working, will certainly give it a try and see just what all will or won’t work.

This link from Steve. Thanks Steve!

After taking time to read this a couple of times it seems he says it all. Mac is safer than Winblows 24 – 7 – 365/366 because they are built different from the ground up. And from what I have seen with a fairly large sampling of Linux and Unix distros they are also lightyears ahead of any of the Window$ family of crappy os’s. But don’t take my lame ass word for it, go and read the article.
