Nokia 770 internet tablet sees Nokia veer into non-phone territory - Engadget - www.engadget.com: "Props to Nokia for totally rescuing a slow news day by dropping this in our laps: the Nokia 770 looks sort of like a tricked out 7710, but the crazy thing is, it’s not a phone. It’s an internet appliance aimed squarely at your living room, designed to replace that “extra” PC you might be tempted to pick up for basic web surfing/news reading/emailing. At an expected price of $350, it may just succeed, at that. It’s connecting to your home network via Bluetooth and WiFi and sports a nice, large screen at 4.13-inches and 800x480 pixels."

Can someone PLEASE explain to me how this is any better than your hand?

Boing Boing: Duct tape festival in Ohio

Boing Boing: Duct tape festival in Ohio:
For the folks in the ANC tribe:

"'From sculptures and fashion to games and a parade, everything at the festival will revolve around duct tape. Festival attendees will be able to make duct tape crafts, like roses and wallets, with professional duct tape sculptor, Todd Scott and duct tape crafter and author, Ellie Schiedermayer.
Henkel Consumer Adhesives, marketer of Duck brand duct tape, will celebrate the sticky stuff with the display of numerous of larger-than-life duct tape sculptures created by local artists. In addition, The Duct Tape Guys, nationally known duct tape evangelists and authors of six books, will have several scheduled performances during the festival's duration."

Ripping Yarns

It occurs to me that an awful lot of trouble in Gotham City could have been averted a long time ago if Batman had just ripped the Joker’s nipples off.

I mean, treatment doesn’t work, does it? They stick the Joker in the nuthatch, he comes out again and does the same things.

A man with the nipples ripped off him does not make the same mistakes twice.

Criminals are a superstitious, cowardly lot, and need the nipples ripped off them.

I mean, who’s going to argue?

“Batman, I’ve heard disturbing reports that you ripped the Joker’s nipples off.”

“Choke on my fuck, Commissioner Gordon.”

“…okay.”

I done been quoted!

Self Heating Lattes. Mmmmmm.

Taking the Heat Out of the Kitchen - New York Times: "'I'm not trying to replace your dinner, but when you're on your way to work and you need some oatmeal and you can't get to the microwave, we will be there for you,' said Jonathan Weisz, the OnTech chief executive. 'This is going to be a huge, huge part of society in the United States. In two years everyone will be drinking from self-heating containers.'The coffee, which comes in four flavors, goes on sale at Kroger grocery stores this month and will eventually move to other retailers. OnTech will also sell its own version, labeled Hillside Coffee, on QVC. Cans of self-heating soup in four varieties will arrive this fall, although OnTech executives won't say which food manufacturer it is working with"

Boing Boing: Liveblogging LA Star Wars III Premiere with napkincam

Boing Boing: Liveblogging LA Star Wars III Premiere with napkincam:

"7:05 -- Arrive at Mann Village Theatre, Westwood. Premiere of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of The Sith. Benefit for Artists for a New South Africa. Movie to be shown digitally using projectors with Texas Instruments DLP chip (not reels of film).

7:10 -- VIP tickets come with memo which states: 'Cameras of all kinds (including camera phones) are prohibited at all event locations. Anyone in possession of cameras or camera phones will be refused entry.' Fuck. Without my Treo, I am naked. Not wanting to risk banishment, I go naked. They can take away my phonecam -- but they can't stop the phonecam in my MIND. Grab eyeliner from the purse and a napkin from the bar and -- voila! I will liveblog the evening's proceedings (with 3-hour delay) on the napkincam."

dude. maybe i just need to shut up

Sometimes I want to blame everyone else for crappy interactions. But maybe, just maybe, I've got it wrong. Maybe it's me. This guy has a good idea...just STFU.


interview with John Francis:

"The environmental pilgrim says he took his vow of silence as a gift to his community 'because, man, I just argued all the time.' But it may have been Francis who benefited most of all. For the first time, he found he was able to truly listen to other people and the larger world around him, transforming his approach to both personal communication and environmental activism."

He also says this, which I find resonant:

I don't know how I'm going to change. I don't know how it will change me. That's part of the mystery of walking, is that the destination is inside us and we really don't know when we arrive until we arrive. One of the biggest epiphanies that I've had was that, you know, environmentalists like to look at the industrialists or at the developers and say, "They gotta change. If they would change, everything would be all right." But really, we all have to do that. We all need to look at ourselves. We need to re-imagine ourselves.

BitTorrent creator Interviewed

Bram Cohen: Creator of BitTorrent: An interview with the creator of the most preeminent file sharing and distribution system.

While reading an article entitled "The BitTorrent Effect" which appeared in the January 2005 issue of Wired Magazine, I was surprised to find out that the
creator of BitTorrent, Bram Cohen, has Asperger's Syndrome. After finishing this article, I became determined to track down Cohen and ask him some questions about how Asperger's Syndrome has affected his very successful life. I finally found him on IRC and was able to interview
him about how he has dealt with Asperger's Syndrome. I'd like to thank Mr. Cohen for taking the time out of his busy schedule to answer these somewhat personal questions."

squifnet debuts

You know, I could totally run a website and blog from my home machine. I could. But why? I'm in the camp, at least today, that this is far easier. I don't have to worry about power outages, kids pressing the off button, or other wireless router issues. Granted, I've run a web server out of my home for about 5 years now, and it's really easy (on a Mac, of course), and is fun to learn. But all I want, with this new blog, is a place to cache interesting net stuff to share with family and friends. That's all. So, I now power blogger. :)
