Love him or hate him, Jobs does know how to knock’em out, and make the trivial seem exciting, and the exciting seem spectacular. Some good advice here, for those who do a lot of presentations.

On my friend Tom’s recommendation, I purchased the MP3 album “Drowning Out The Television” on Amazon; I haven’t been disappointed. I predict the songs “Black & White”, “Phoenix”, and “Better” will find themselves on network television in the near future.

As a Star Wars geek, I love one-offs and mashups of Star Wars-related stuff. Ceth Stifel, aka “Thumper-001” on deviantART, inspired by a recent trip to Disneyland and the Disney/Star Wars figurines one can purchase there, has created a unique set of mashup art combining my favorite movie franchise with the Disney characters millions have come to know and love.
Donald Duck as Boba Fett, Goofy as Darth Maul, Mickey as Lando Calrissian, as well as a host of other Star Wars characters, Chip and Dale as Wookies. Great, great stuff.
“It is the madness of folly, to expect mercy from those who have refused to do justice; and even mercy, where conquest is the object, is only a trick of war; the cunning of the fox is as murderous as the violence of the wolf.” — Thomas Paine (The American Crisis, No. 1, 19 December 1776)

Just seems like something to keep in mind regarding our jihadist enemies…

Yeah, I think that headline is pretty self-explanatory of why you should go read it.

Situations like this cause this particular feeling in me to boil up; that if he’s found guilty, a little Code of Hammurabi needs to be administered, and certain body parts come off…

A little CSS to add to the top of your Backpack pages to optimize them for viewing on the iPhone or iPod Touch.
One of the reasons that house prices got so high here is that people could get crazy financing for huge amounts without adequate resources to pay it back. So “dumb money” bid the price too high, and now no one can buy or sell because they can’t finance their homes.
So there are two ways to fix this – the healthy way would be to let the market forces bring the prices down to what people can reasonably pay. This is the best for everyone long term as it levels out who can live in California.
The second way would be to use the government backed entities, Fannie and Freddie, to prop up these insane prices. This is akin to providing an alcoholic with discount coupons for the corner liquor store.
I never thought I would have to hold a package of frozen peas on my son’s penis. They don’t tell you this may be a possibility in parenting class. It’s all breathing and learning to count to ten and not freaking out when they get a diaper rash. But penis bruises? Nowhere in the manual.

Someone took Eddie Izzard’s bit on Star Wars and set it to LEGO figures. Incredibly funny. (Though not safe for work, as the F-word is used a few times. It is Eddie Izzard, after all.)
