Two guys formerly from the Omni Group of software developers (OmniWeb, Omni Grafle) have broken away and create something new and extraordinary. Delicious Library is currently in very limited beta, but ThinkSecret evaluated a copy, and posted many screenshots. Basically, Delicious Library is a beautiful application for cataloging and organizing all of your physical media, […]

forget napster

Forget Napster, and Gnutella, and Limewire and Kazaa… If you just ask Google right, she’ll give you everything you need. Like MP3s, “index of /mp3,” or .MOVs, “index of /mov.” Or pretty much anything else…
like credit cards: “Visa 4366000000000000. .4366999999999999” (Oh shit, Google plugged that little hole up. A couple days ago, you were able […]

another wardrobe malfunction

Miss Universe, Jennifer Hawkins is so friggin hot. Australian, accent, sick body, beautiful face. It’s like the first time I can remember that Miss Universe looks hot, and not like some cheesy girl-next-door with giant ultra-white teeth.
Earlier this week she was back home in Australia, and did a little fashion show in a shopping center […]

like a chicken without a head

Sometimes you follow a random link, to a random link, and find something great. Well, last night I stumbled on a Guinness Book of World Records entry about a chicken.. without a head.
Yup. This amazing chicken, named Mike, lived for 18 months after having his head chopped off by his owner, Lloyd, in 1945. […]

Pentagon

The news never talks about what happened to the Pentagon on 9/11. The exact details that is. I saw this on Ebaums and it has me wondering. Did the Gov’t cover this up too? What do you think?
9-11 Pentagon Video

I fixed the link, and below are my comments:
I just, just, like 5 […]

at the zoo-oo-oo

Monday afternoon at the Bronx Zoo was, well, like a zoo. The people acted like animals as they stared and pounded on the glass enclosing the human-acting gorillas. They scratched their bellies and explored sticks and leaves, while the people climbed over each other, pushed, shoved, and clawed their way to a better viewed. A […]

genesis capsule crashes

I am working from home today because 2 inches of rain have “flooded” NYC and brought public transportation to a standstill. Some co-workers spent 2 hours getting work. I did not. I layed on my floor and am working here. I am also watching the news and the live webcast of the re–entry of the […]

baby gorillas

These baby gorillas were born last month in the Barcelona Zoo. Luckily I wasn’t around because I would have instantly had to crush their faces.

VW GTI mkV pics

Volkswagen finally revealed official pictures of the new Mark V version of the GTI. I have a 2001 Mark IV version and I LOVE it. The new Golfs are out now, I think, but as you can tell, the GTI styling is different, and much better. I absolutely love it. I will be getting one […]

photostamps

Sweet. Now you can have stamps made with your own photos on them, thanks to photostamps. They cost a little more, but it is completely worth it. Just upload your pictures, resize and move them, choose a background color, and place your order. Simple. So good.

It turns out that many people did what I did, […]

kryptonite bike locks cracked with Bic pens

Some guy on a bike forum picked the lock on his Kryptonite Evolution 2000 bike lock with a Bic pen this morning. It spread across the internet like wildfire, and soon thousands of people were viewing the thread, commenting, and trying it for themselves. The vulnerability is now thoroughly documented on many videos, and Kryptonite […]

pith helmet

This is the sickest software I have downloaded in a long, long time. If you have a Mac and are running OS 10.2 with Safari as your browser, GET Pith Helmet right now. It actually removes evey ad from all the pages you visit. That’s right. No more ads. Fuck em. Get rid of them. […]

rockfish

I know it’s a long download, but this short CG animated film is worth it. “Rockfish” is the second independent short film by the LA company, Blur. I looked through the rest of their portfolio, and the work is exceptional. This movie is really a standout. Enjoy.

11 minutes at Ray’s

Two gay men site across from each other chewing ancient sausage encrusted pizza like cows. They discuss nothing as they stare at each other, holding hands across the table. Their identical molding-mudded fauxhawks do not shake with their heads as they babble.
A young, worn, Mexican man sits at a table with three inches of […]

Captain Shizzat and the World of Yesterday

I just got back from the movies. I saw Sky Captain. MetaCritic gave it a 66 (that’s the average score from all critics. It’s green. That means it’s pretty good) and Roger Ebert gave it a 100. yes, a 100 out of 100. That means it’s great.
Well, it wasn’t. It was the worst fucking […]

beautiful photography?

There’s a Japanese guy who goes by the name Highside. He’s got a website with some spectacular images on it. (see below.) You have got to look closely if you really want to understand his talent.

Turns out they’re not photos. They’re Illustrator vector images - illustrations. It’s unbelievable, actually. Go check these out. Be […]
