oh. my. god.
There’s this company in the UK that offers a service to drive you home in your own car after a night of drinking, in order to prevent people from drunk driving. How do they do it? Their people ride the Monkey Bike Puzzle – a 49cc 3-speed scooter that can be disassembled into four pieces to fit in the trunk of a car, without tools, in two minutes. Jesus tap-dancing CHRIST these people are smart! via boingboing
Rock-Paper-Scissors-Spock-Lizard – a slightly more complex way to solve disputes. Cool.
Group for User Interface Research – Projects – DENIM and SILK – DENIM is a visual web-site designer that allows you to export mocked-up prototypes of sites. Looks really cool.
Hotmail & Passport (.NET Accounts) Vulnerability – holy crap. Hey, anyone with a web browser can reset anyone else’s MS Passport password, thereby completely screwing them! This is BAD. Yet another reason to not keep all your eggs in one basket – in this case the Microsoft basket.
Inflatable Church for a “mobile” wedding. I’d only call it “mobile” if it was attached to a semi trailer, but hey, that’s just me.
eBay Seller List: chuma@chuma.org – list of stuff I’m selling on eBay right now. Help me lighten my load before I move! Please!
Gollum vs. Regis Philbin@Everything2.com – THE REGIS CHEATS! It only asks riddles and not answers! UNFAIR! CRUEL REGIS! Perhaps we EATS the Regis soon? Yesss…. EATS HIM!
Now you can, with TVO Kids Shows. I only remeber ever seeing two of these. One was “The Body Works” – gotta love those orange titles. The other was “Read All About It!” That show used to FREAK ME OUT when I was 4. Just thinking about it gives me a little twinge of fear. It was probably scary because of the villan and the fact that I probably couldn’t comprehend time travel at that tender age. I do remember that the two computers (they were supposed to be robots, but one was a computer screen and the other was a printer with eyeballs – I wasn’t THAT dumb at 4) were really neat, and that might have actually started my interest in computers. Freaky.
The Advertising Artwork of Dr. Seuss – Early drawings of Dr. Seuss’ adwork before he wrote children’s books. Some pretty neat stuff.
Pthhh, let’s see. I had a cold all last week, and a ton of work to do. I worked my ass off to meet as many deadlines as I could, and it felt good, even if the cold medication made me feel as if I was floating 3 feet off the ground. Yesterday it hit me like a ton of bricks and I didn’t go into work. I slept in until noon and it was exactly the rest that I needed. Still wasn’t feeling 100%, though. Went and did some shopping in Waterloo. I needed some nice clothes desperately, and ended up buying a ton of stuff at the Gap. In the evening we had pizza with Laura and Erin & Dave and then went to see a play at the Guelph Little Theatre that one of our friends was in. The play was called “Cosi” and it was very very funny. We almost got lost on the way though – Laura had some bad directions to the place and so we were 10 minutes late. As a result, I ended up getting a parking ticket for… wait for it… parking faced in the wrong direction. Of all the stupid-ass infractions. I didn’t even know that it existed.
