The Men of Podtech Hosted on ZooomrThis photo is from CES 2007, taken by Thomas Hawk. Does anything strike you as… strange/out of place?
No, not the geek wearing dark glasses. How about the finger gestures being given by the woman on the left? Smiling whilst saying “F….. you”. Subtle.
The NYTimes has an article by Dennis Overbye about Free Will, which is a great read.
“If people freak at evolution, etc.,” [Michael Silberstein, a science philosopher at Elizabethtown College in Pennsylvania] wrote in an e-mail message, “how much more will they freak if scientists and philosophers tell them they are nothing more than sophisticated meat machines, and is that conclusion now clearly warranted or is it premature?”
It’s a topic that Scott Adams has written about a bit before.
I might be cheap, but I’m not free*. Sheesh, problem solved! 
* Except for attractive Women.
Apparently 25% of People Americans* think that 2007 is the year that Jesus Christ will return.
This article covers most the major issues, associated with this possibility.
* Ok, So technically it was only those polled, but Je…err.. Ch…err… Damn!
Seriously – I see these things in dilbert and laugh. Then I stop, and remember that I’ve had this discussion dozens of times.
Argh. (I compiled a list of at least six, but decided to stop since it was just too depressing)
Hey, Ian – this one’s for you. How goes the Xbox?
BBSpot, always good for a laugh, has an article up about how Lesuire Suite Larry will use the wiimote.
I think this image (safe for work) sums up the whole idea quite well…
As one of the commenters on flickr says “Girl – Lens – Girl – Lens. I’m so conflicted!”
There’s plenty of useless quizzes and things like that around, so what’s one more to add to the bunch? Hey, atleast I didn’t send it to you with “OMG. Send this on to all your friends – it’s SOOOOO funny”
I scored 40 on the foodie quiz. Apparently I’m
“a gastro-warrior, a culinary thrill -seeker with a palate that knows no barriers, no shame – and no frozen potato waffles and mass produced condiments.”
That’s good, right?
(And no, this isn’t the “thing” I was referring to… I’m keeping you in suspence. Think of this as like a mid-break teaser. And no, it’s nothing to do with food.)
Saw this on one of the internal work message boards:
Project Baby has now gone from Build & Acquire, to Advanced Acceptance Testing. So far he hasn’t been returned to the manufacturer.
Still no word on if there’s a vendor patch for the Buffer Overflows – they have a manual work around, last I heard.
*ahem*
Atleast, that’s what I’m guessing, anyway. Asok, it seems has telekenesis. The day before, he was doing the concentrate-hard thing that Hiro does.
By the way, Heroes, really does rock.
Having Hayden Panettiere (“Claire Bennet” – aka the cheerleader) and Ali Larter (“Niki Sanders” aka Crazy split-personality webcam stripper) really doesn’t hurt at all.
…give it to Aeoth‘s sister. (Seen here)
Sorry Aeoth… but you’ve gotta laugh (atleast, after your sister replaces it).
Although, the actual manual does have warnings telling you not to whack your friend in the face with the Wiimote, there is no safety warning for “whacking the Wiimote into the coffee table”.
Edit: Seems like Wii Have a Problem (…not sure what I can say about the domain… except that it’s easy enough to say)
