Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
A while ago, I mentioned the infamous incident with a room-mate and a talking watch, and I said that I had to tell that story at some point. I feel like telling it today. I believe it was a spring day, and we were all doing stuff to do with school or cleaning the house. …

When that dudebuilt a driveable motorized barstoola few months ago, somebody was paying attention. That somebody is Matthias Krankl, who converted a beer crate into a 4-wheeler and took it for a spin. He might have gotten away with it too if it weren’t for those darn cops, those darn cops thathe tried to outrun …
I heard about something that, in concept, sounds cool. Nokia Labs has created an experimental app called Nokia Braille that is supposed to read text messages to you in braille. But it’s not exactly braille, it’s vibrations that would form braille letters. Here’s a video demonstrating it. Yes, he is speaking English, although at first …
Wow. that’s some crazy drunkenness. Daniel Samplanski got so drunk that he didn’t even realize he was on the freeway! And why did he borrow his neighbour’s electric scooter? This was apparently his fifth drunk driving charge. Watch this chopped up video. Does he look pretty toasted? This brings me to a weird question. What …

Yes, there’s a lawsuit on the way, who still asks dumb questions …

The other day, Steve asked me about something I had never noticed. He said, in old clips about robots, why are they pronounced like ro-bits?” I had never heard them talked about like that, so he told me about an ad for something called “Big Loo” that was some silly toy that was supposed to …
Back a while ago, I mentioned a contest where you could win a Blackberry, complete with screen-reader. Since we didn’t right a post where we were bouncing off the walls screaming that we won, you can correctly guess we didn’t. But we found out who did. Congrats, you four lucky people you. Do any of …
Whenever I would go home to dialupville, I always drooled at my brother’s Blackberry. While I’m fighting with a computer that’s half dead and using dialup, he’s sitting there click clickedy clicking his way onto google with no trouble.
