    Lots of neat new features from the sound of it, too. Hit up the GIMP web site for details, and to ooh and ahh at their new design. Downloads Page Release Notes

  • Woot-off, you!

    Time for another Woot-off! Not quite as cool as they used to be, since they happen so often but still plenty of great deals to be had.

  • Labatt Beer – Talking Deer

    On par with the original ‘Talking Fish’ commercial Sabres fans know and love. F-bomb included.

  • Exploding Head Syndrome

    No, I’m not making that up. There is an actual medical condition called Exploding Head Syndrome. (get your minds out of the gutter, people). Exploding head syndrome is a condition first reported by a British physician in 1988 that causes the sufferer to occasionally experience a tremendously loud noise as if from within his or…

  • TasteBook – Make Your Own Cookbook

    Cruising the usual blags today, and came across TasteBook. You can create a customized cookbook (professional looking, mind you) with a mix of your own recipes, and ones taken from epicurious.com. I am thinking that sort of thing would be a neat gift for the amateur chefs of the world.

  • Kamikaze Squirrel

    A kamikaze squirrel set a New Jersey woman’s car on fire this past week. It’s almost too awesome of a headline to believe. Needs video. Tony Millar says his sister was fully insured. “It’s something to laugh about once she has a new car,” he said. “It’s not funny yet.” Oh, I don’t know about…

Very useful to keep an eye on items for price guarantees. There’s a somewhat similar web-based app called PriceProtectr that works for a…

  • Bionic Commando!?!

    I MUST HAVE! Bionic Commando on the NES was the first game I ever bought and paid for with my own money, as well as the first one my friends and I finished in it’s entirety. The bionic arm made the gameplay very unique for the time. For the Xbox360 so far, I’d LOVE to…

  • Automated defense weapon kills 9

    Holy crap. An automated anti-aircraft gun went berserk in South Africa, and by the time it fired off it’s full complement of high-explosive rounds, 9 soldiers were dead. The gun, a Swiss/German Oerlikon 35mm MK5 twin cannon started firing wildly during a shooting exercise. They are not yet sure what caused it to happen.
