Touchscreen Holographic Laptop

This is pretty cool. This laptop uses touchscreen holographic technology for its display (or the closest thing we have to it). The screen is totally transparent until power is turned on.

Wii Chicken Game

I’m no genuis, but I think someone made a mistake. I was shopping on a popular chain department store website for Wii games when I came across this picture for some Chicken type game for the Wii.

Convertible Homeless Shelter’s

[CLICK HERE]  - Homeless Shelter Concepts

Pretty cool concepts. This site shows convertible public structures that homeless people could use as shelter. Which I kind of laugh, because I thought they already do, but apparently, some cities have started to design park benches so that it would be very difficult to sleep on them.

Here is a convertible park bench idea:

[CLICK HERE] - Urban Tent Dwellings

Here is some cool pics of people living in the city in tents. This one really caught my eye. It looks like a car with a tarp over it, it is actually just a frame made out of pipe covered with a tarp.

For thoseĀ of you who have worked with HTML before, it can get pretty nasty if someone does not use spaces, tabs, or newlines. Here is a site that shows how to write clean code.

Here is an article that is kinda creepy and scary, if true.

Tipping?

October 29th, 2007 by monk

I have a couple of questions about tipping. So if you know, please comment.

1.) I got my oil changed today and the place I go to offers a FREE car wash with each oil change. Once they were done, I noticed that people were giving the guys who dryed the cars a tip. I have two problems with that. First of all, there were other people in the back who were washing the cars, and second, it was a FREE car wash. If I have to tip, it does not make it FREE. It was really awkward when I left. The guy followed me to my truck, waiting for a tip. The problem was I paid with a credit card and they did not offer on the receipt for me to put down a tip.

2.) Are you supposed to tip the people at Sonic for bringing you your food? How much do they make an hour?

Questionable Lyrics?

July 2nd, 2007 by Almost George

Quite awhile back I was informed that there was a list of songs “purportedly deemed inappropriate by Clear Channel” shortly following the September 11, 2001 attacks.

I wanted to do a whole writeup on this, but I’m tired of this sitting in drafts.

So here’s the link: List of Songs with “questionable lyrics” following the September 11, 2001 attacks.

You read it on the internet, so it must be true.

Giant Pool of Water Ice at Mars’ South Pole

March 16th, 2007 by Almost George

Using ground penetrating radar, NASA has discovered an ice deposit at Mars’ south pole so large that if melted, it would cover the entire planet under 30 feet of water.

Is it not amazing - the detailed view we can get of other planets, but we still can’t predict earthquakes or weather here on Earth?
