June 2006

2006-06-30T06:19  Overlord is a 1975 movie that combines archival footage with new footage to tell one soldier's story of D-Day.  Amnesty International has a little app that will post material governments have censored on your website.  I'd love to add it but where?  What with games like Cooking Mama and Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, DS is such an attractive handheld.  American Express has always had the best looking credit cards.  Seems so obvious:  save your paintbrush in the can.  Got an earworm that you can't ID?  Find its name by tapping your spacebar.  Sis!  Online C64 emulator!  Google intros its Paypal competitor:  Checkout.

2006-06-29T21:21  Sniff.  Sayonara Kate!  You were the best damn supe ever.

2006-06-25T09:34  Folder's almost empty lol.  Odie, the talking pug, says "I love you!"  Samsung shows off its new flash based laptop.   A solid state laptop!  How they make square watermelons.  WWII color gun cam footage from Allied fighters.  Huge collection of old computer ads.  Secrets of Scientology.  How Lend Lease won the war.  "This place is not a place of honor":  US Department of Energy works on how to label nuclear waste storage facilities with warnings so that they'll be understood 12000 years from now.  Pentagon's new Switchblade bomber is a shapeshifter.  British army forced to demote Lance Corporal Billy to Fusilier.  He's a goat. 

2006-06-24T20:23  Coupla late anniversary announcements.  Chessthecat.com turned 4 on June 18th.  And Stars and I made it to our third anniversary (Leather.  Stars bought me a sweet baseball mitt and I bought her a steak.) 

2006-06-24T16:52  This should be the last of it for awhile.  Sort of upsetting video of a guy enjoying some frog sashimi.  Knitta tags public spaces not with spraypaint but with knitting.  Gallery showing the history of Netflix's mailers.  Building designed to be built from discarded 727 and 737 fuselages.  E3 opens the doors and the crowd stampedes towards the Wii booth.  Sony reps look frustrated.  Maybe the PS3 is doomed. 

2006-06-24T09:53  Man, my site has caught the diarrhea .  Norway is building a seed bank in case the world blows up.  Really cool video of a designer coloring some art with a Cintiq tablet.  Top 10 strangest MP3 players.  Millionaire collector has put three rare coins into circulation.  Japanese scientists invent truly transparent glass.  Prisoner inventions.  Volkswagen's new parking garage reminds me a lot of a huge vending machine.  US Navy shows off its new inventions.  The Universal Translator sounds too revolutionary to be real.  How'd you like a paper shredder that can fit in your pocket?  NWA (the airline, not the group) eliminates row by row boarding on its flights and finds that it saves a lot of time.  These coffee mugs don't leave rings on your table, they leave a beautiful pattern instead.   Only in New York!  Art for dogs.   Scientists create a scary video showing what a meteor impacting earth would look like.   I saw this bizarre commercial for Head On while watching Jeopardy! the other night. 

2006-06-24T07:23  I have to keep flushing out the links until that dang folder is empty.  What if MS marketing designed the iPod package?  Ever been to Cupcakes?  Same idea but delicious cookies.  Liquid Cereal will save you a coupla minutes in the morning I guess.  Johnny Applesandals have apple seeds in their soles allowing you to plant trees wherever you walk.  I could fit this house in my backyard!  It's not much bigger than a Mini Cooper!  Dude can carve chains, trains, and dames from toothpicks!   Cops use this reverse peephole viewer to see what you're up to.  Baby with three arms.  I should hire him to walk my dogs.  Does anyone in Hollywood actually know how to send an e-mail?   Chernobyl didn't kill enough people to fill a bus.  That includes all the radiation deaths up until today.  Surprised?  I remember when there was an air raid siren in Victoria Park.  Good thing I never had to hear it.   If I ever win the lottery I want these guys who specialize in secret passageways to build my house.  War Plan Red:  America's plan to invade Canada.  What does microwaved water do to plants?   Happy Birthday Arie!  The original Star Wars cantina footage. 

2006-06-17T19:05  Gots to clean out my link folder.  Let's kick it old school and just lump 'em all in:  Brothers reunited after 82 years.  Not perfect but a nice fan flick about the Enterprise vs the Death Star.  China rolls out its mobile execution chambers.  Spiderman outs himself to the press.  Scientists respond to Gore's claims in An Inconvenient Truth.  Sony releases a monitor with a place to put your Post-its.  Ghanaians send you out in style in amazing carved coffins.   Startling optical illusion.   Implanting magnets in your fingers is the hottest new body mod.  WTF is up with this Rowby character?  Choose Your Own Adventure books are back.   Finally, let's wrap this up with some T and his hit Treat Your Mother Right.

2006-06-11T24:48  Hi.  Is Zack Morris there?  Please hurry, this is costing me like $250 a minute and my battery's gonna fail.  Thanks.
