Live action Garfield

You know how when you were a kid you would turn over a flat rock and find a bunch of roly-polys? Well, sometimes you turn over a rock on the internet and you find something like this. This is up there with the Subservient Chicken.

Oh Lord, won’t you buy me… a Tesla Roadster?

Tesla Roadster

It’s a $100,000.00, all electric sports car that gets 135 mpg, goes from 0 to 60 in less than 4 seconds, and can travel up to 220 miles per charge.

Too bad I don’t know how to drive a stick shift… and I’m not independently wealthy.

A fancier way to end up in the river

By now you’ve probably heard of at least one story where some poor fellow ended up in the river or stuck on the train tracks because they blindly followed their GPS.

Virtual Cable makes a GPS that superimposes a red line over the road to show the driver where to go next. Looks pretty cool as long as drivers don’t turn their brains over to the thing.

Ninja Words

It really is fast. (Most of the time, anyway.) You can type in http://ninjawords.com/word to get the definition of a word or you can type your search into the box. It uses a community-built dictionary called Wiktionary, so it sometimes can’t find a word, but I still find it useful for quick lookups.

Afterworld

Writer’s strike got you down? Afrraid of having to resort to reruns of “Who’s the Boss?” and Happy Days? Maybe this will tide you over?

Afterworld is an animated sci-fi story. It’s not exactly the matrix, but I find the story kind of interesting.

Haven’t we suffered enough?

Hawks, Heat To Replay End Of OT After Protest

C’mon Miami. You’re in last place in the same division as the Hawks. Just abandon hope. Besides, you’ve already won a championship in my lifetime. Give the Hawks a break!

Quotes like this are pure geek nutrition

“…even though I’m the pinky toe on the Voltron we make when we come together, it’s still a pretty bad ass robot.” -Wil Wheaton

(With a quote like that in it, the rest of his blog entry could be pops and whistles for all I care. -Me)
