AT&T Predicts the Future: 1993

I couldn't believe how accurate this is! AT&T must have really put some money into R&D!

Here's a great little article talking about how the Patriots operate. I was surprised by the news that Matt Cassel had been traded, and even more surprised when people started saying that it might be a sentimental maneuver by the Dick Cheney of the NFL, Bill Belichick.

This article puts it a little more in perspective though, confirming that Belichick is actually just as reptilian and evil as we thought. My favorite gems from the article:

of course you know the story of Ted Johnson -- the hard-nosed, overachieving linebacker in the Belichick mold who was urged to practice with a head injury against the advice of team trainers.

He's so competitive he refused to give his blessing to longtime assistant Eric Mangini to coach the New York Jets -- and when Mangini went to New York anyway, Belichick disabled his security code before Mangini could return to his old office for his personal items.

And my favorite:

When defensive lineman Richard Seymour lost his grandfather to cancer in 2003 and missed a practice to attend the funeral and mourn with family, Belichick benched him during the next game.

Yeah, and "ORGANIC" food is bullshit too...

Palm Pre: I want one!

I just read an article about how they're going to be using a cheap EEG system coupled with a levitating ball to simulate 'Using the Force.' I always thought that EEG was underutilized as a technology, but I never expected it to show up in kids toys first.

I'm certain it's only going to be about 3 electrodes, and all the system does is check to see how much power there is in a given frequency range, and based upon that blow the ball up and down with a fan.

This is pretty cool, though. I know I'll be buying one.

Synchrony!

I have to take a little step back and enjoy the magic of RSS.

So I figured out today that you can not only get news feeds from the worlds best newspapers, but Google Reader will actually translate them from whatever language they're in to English! RSS feeds have been pretty awesome before, but the content is getting so much richer.

Now I like my American media as much as the next guy, which means not very much. Hearing all about the bombings in Gaza is a little bit less one sided than the USA opinion I keep reading about how we support Israel no matter what they do.

I also ended up putting up the blogs of some people that I know, which I find endlessly entertaining. Also, the blog entries I write get imported into facebook with my twitter account. Sweetness. Now, if I only had something constructive to say. :)
