Meh. Nasty proprietary earphones that will have to be replaced by something better -- but something by definition licensed by Apple. Just another way for them to soak up more money. I own an i-touch, so I guess I can't complain too much, but I am...
This was posted on the American/UK blog site Boing Boing a few days ago, where it created a firestorm. At least half the posts blasted it as sexist and demeaning. I find the sculpture uninteresting enough not to get really fired up about it, but th...
Soccer uniforms, lab fees for chemistry, art supplies, more and more classes requiring students to have laptops. Even a fee for a choir uniform. I feel your pain!
Life would be a little less colorful if we were all the same. Or even completely sane... I pay tons of money to slap two boards on my feet and ski down mountains. I am in no position to criticize... :)
I have Chu Chu, so how can I not get her? A bit more clothing would be nice -- she is almost cast-off with everything on... But she is too cute not to have.
"Sony preload goo" lol. Perfect description. I removed it all as well, but I must admit it irritates me a little that it was there to start with. Endless crap that only ensures I will never by another Sony. It's just too maddening to buy a new c...
Oops! You are right! Thanks for catching the mistake -- it is closer to two years. I note there is an interesting side-light to all this -- sort of off the original topic. Moore's Law does have a limit based on the nature of current semiconductor...
Much of the increased power of computing shown here was first stated by Intel co-founder Gorden Moore way back in 1965. Moore's Law states that number of transistors placed on a single integrated circuit doubles roughly every six months. This sort...
It should be left as a matter of choice. In a perfect world where all men were gentlemen and all girls were safe, I would say the miniskirt :). In the world we live in, where not everything is as innocent as we might wish for, I would say the long...
I am lucky, living close to some of the best skiing in the world. In fact, one of the top World Cup events is held at a nearby resort named Beaver Creek. I was there last weekend zipping down the same course as the pros (though not with as much spe...
Like a few others here, I like Cowboy Bebop's OP. And though it no doubt marks me as some sort of anime rube, I love Himiko-Den's OP "Pure Snow" Of course the first time I heard it was on the black-sand beaches of Hawai'i. So maybe that has someth...
I taught High School in the States for a few years, and sadly, bullying is a fact of life here as well. But being a teacher, I saw the side of it most kids do not. I had to talk to the parents of kids who were accused of being bullies. And the rea...
Saw you on Boing Boing and thought anyone having that much fun must be worth checking out. Great site! I had gotten lost in work and all about ten years ago and had almost forgotten how much I enjoyed the culture and art central to this site. And...
