  "Also, the photo in this post is old. It is not holding up particularly well, so that is an issue." Does anyone know the address? I would like to see the current google street view....

• Commented on Urban Tool
  Sure, it's easy to make fun, but I could see that HipHolster being pretty darned useful if you were up on the roof setting up an antenna or something. They would be just fine to wear around the house. Like...
• Commented on Just look at this awesome banana bunker.
  Is this legal in Alabama?...
• Commented on James Lipton in hilarious LG ad campaign: "Before You Text, Give it a Ponder"
  These may just be the best PSAs* that I have ever seen. * If PSA is the right term for a altruistic commercial message....

  Heh, this is the real thing. Cool! At first glance I figured it was Leia cosplayers catching some rays at Burning Man....

• Commented on Early 1990s TV commercial - pay $2 a minute to hear a story that will make you cry
  Obviously it's the audio version of Li'l_Brudder. He wants to be a quarterback!...
• Commented on Sony assaults Kindle with new touchscreen 3G reader
  "Sony plans to differentiate itself by embracing open formats" Really? Seriously? I honestly can't believe that anyone at Sony could even say the words "Open Format" without experiencing intense physical pain. Maybe Open-Formats™ is their name for a new on-line...
• Commented on Phone audio quality sucks
  The iPhone audio seems decent enough when listening to music through the internal speaker, even a low-bitrate ringtone sounds quite good. Yet the sound quality is such that I generally skip talking and just send an email or text message...
• Commented on <em>Evony</em> & Agony: PopCap's <em>Plants Vs. Zombies</em> parodies bosomy banners
  Too bad I have already purchased the full version to prove my love for popcap. Maybe everyone will get plants vs zombies for xmas this year....
• Commented on Dude in Sbux watching black & white TV with converter box
  I now prefer to visit coffeeshops with no WiFi and a no-computers rule. It was fine at first but tragedy of the commons and all that. I mean do you really want to have to sit next to this guy?...

  I agree it is quite Mr. Giles also, but my first thought was Cornelius from Achewood....
• Commented on In the eye of the beholder
  I have a feeling that Gollux intended that the gun would have only live ammo. Ah I see, not exactly roulette then. I had been trying to figure out the formula for the probabilities involved but kept getting distracted. (1/6)...
• Commented on In the eye of the beholder
  I wouldn't accept anything less than the person playing russian roulette with a 9mm automatic to his temple. Can't help wondering, how does one play that?...
• Commented on Review: a weekend with the Fit PC 2
  Just to make it clear, it will play a ripped blu-ray file without choppiness? That would be pretty nice. Are there benchmarks for the video chip?...
• Commented on LA's vegan restaurants are full of egg
  Mister Moofoo: I don't want to "re-educate" vegetarians, but I don't want them trying to "re-educate" me, either. I respect their choice, even if I don't get it. I wasn't specifically talking about you, there are people on both sides...
• Commented on LA's vegan restaurants are full of egg
  It is interesting how some people are obsessed with trying to 're-educate' vegetarians. They just have this big chip on their shoulder when the topic comes up, even in innocuous circumstances. I avoid mentioning it in mixed company because there...
• Commented on 13 year old kid reviews a 30 year old Sony Walkman
  After years of research and saving I finally reached my audio pinnacle, a Mini-Disc drive with optical in connected to my computer. This meant I could dump a CD to a Mini-Disc with almost no loss of quality. The portable...
• Commented on Video: Clever woman designs a better British power plug
  Wow, I have never actually wanted to have the UK power plugs before If that whole system caught on I think I would prefer it. More power!...
• Commented on Rushkoff on "The Great Facebook Land Grab of Aught-Nine"
  Lagged2Death: ..., there are a lot of other open blogging communities (LiveJournal, Blogger, Vox, etc) which FaceBook will now be competing with much more directly. And there's RSS/Atom, which just flattens everything.. ... and for every new blog community I...
• Commented on Rushkoff on "The Great Facebook Land Grab of Aught-Nine"
  I don't agree with the AOL metaphor, facebook is not a gateway it's an aggregator. Sure everyone has a blog, but it's a lot faster to skim through their facebook entries or tweets than it is to individually load everyone's...
• Commented on Knife Throwers Just Want a Little Respect
  I have to second the recommendation for Girl on a Bridge (La fille sur le pont) - sexy and tremendous !...
• Commented on Behind the scenes look at the design of a poor product
  Nope, not paid (note the final parenthetical note) I actually have 2 of them and know several friends who own them and have NEVER seen a problem. Only two weeks you say? I agree with Clif, You should have gone...
• Commented on Behind the scenes look at the design of a poor product
  Sure, they may have struck out with the AirCurve, but I LOVE my PowerMate as much as the day I bought it. I have never had a sturdier and more attractive device. I have recommended it to friends who have...

• Commented on Sony X reviewed. Verdict: "Thrashes" the iPod
  Dear Sony, No, I'm sorry, you have screwed me too many times for me to even consider this new wondrous device. The sound could be pure golden heaven but I will not jump through your hoops, just to be abandoned...
• Commented on Kids' Diplomacy board made out of a pizza box
  In our gaming group "... we could play diplomacy" is code for "... it's probably time to go home". Certainly nothing against these creative kids, just not a big favorite with the gamers I know. Glad to hear someone likes...
