As a new member of the Red Ring of Death club, I found this to be amusing. A company called Split Reason has gone and slapped that bad boy on a t-shirt and paired it with a quote from the computer in 2001. Of course, I’m twisted enough that my first thought was that I should buy one and give it to my wife.

And you’ve gotta love the explanation they give for the Red Ring of Death: “If you’re not careful, your 360 may jettison you out an air-lock. The red ring of death is just the first sign that something has gone terribly wrong and not only will you not be playing any games, your 360 may rebel and simply kill you.”

caffe mochaI love coffee, but that doesn’t mean I have a clue what goes into most of the drinks I consume.

Well, now you can find out at a glance just what was in that Caffe Mocha you just ordered, thanks to Lokesh Dhakar’s “Coffee Drinks Illustrated” an illustrated coffee guide. Simplistic, yet brilliant work. Even if you don’t drink much coffee it’s worth a look, pretty interesting stuff.

I did a double take when I stumbled upon this page in Apple’s education store.  Apparently Apple made a few policy changes not covered in their event yesterday.

Homeschooling has grown significantly over the past several years, with current estimates of up to 1.5 million students now attending homeschool. At Apple, we have focused on building technology solutions for education for over 25 years. And now, recognizing the growing demand of homeschoolers, we are making the full range of Apple’s educational products and solutions available to homeschools.

Translation: There are 1.5 million MORE kids out there that could be buying our products. Cash money baby!!

Being a graduated homeschooler myself, I have to give props to Apple for cashing in on the movement. So what if they are just after our money? Respect is respect after all.

A lot of you have no doubt already seen this clip countless times, but on the off chance you haven’t and would like to kill off a few spare braincells, here is Miss Teen USA 2007 - Ms. South Carolina attempting to answer a question.

I admit, I’m starting off on the wrong foot. My first post here should be some thing with some meaning, maybe even some real content… but alas, I have succumb to the irresistible wiles of random (read: pointless) links to other websites, oh but think of the time I’ve saved! Which can now be devoted to much more meaningful things, like watching iPhone auctions on eBay.

I was surfing around on the cre.ations.net website today and I ran across this rather funny letter written by jlcoke.

I don’t really use ATM’s all that often, but I still found it humorous.
