Our Staff is Not Very Original
Fun with Google: Do a search for "proud of our products, services, and technology, nothing matches the pride we". Anyone know what the origin of this is? Are all these websites done by the same advertising company or something? Is this some kind of boilerplate page?
USB Biodrive
The last spam from the Thinkgeek Overlords has added quite a few new gadgets to my wishlist. Along with the USB Smokeless Ashtray, this USB Biodrive also looks pretty sweet. Unfortunately as the name might suggest, it doesn't encode your data in some kind of biomatter DNA. Instead, it encrypts your data and is unlocked using a finger print sensor. The other cool thing about it is the picture above, with the docking station, cords, and all look like kinky bondage sex toys. (oh google is going to love that last sentence)
USB Ashtray
Those wacky Japanese are at it again. Here's the perfect thing to go with your Cigarette Lighter Mod, a USB powered smokeless ashtray. The downfall is the goofy pokemon looking thing inside and the fact that it's way too small. Other then that, it's pretty sweet.
It's Janet, Miss Jackson if you're nasty
Justin Timberlake ripped off a piece of Jackson's outfit and blamed a "wardrobe malfunction". Janet Jackson gets "breast of show". Wardrobe Malfunction Scores Highest Reaction Ever on TiVo. (god I miss my tivo)
Not suprisingly:
bq. At the White House, President Bush said he missed the show.
bq. "Saw the first half, did not see the halftime -- I was preparing for the day and fell asleep," he told reporters Monday after a Cabinet meeting.
Drudge found something interesting. MTV who produced the halftime show, had a webpage titled "Janet Jackson's Super Bowl Show Promises 'Shocking Moments'", which is no longer available. However, good ol' google has it cached.
My opinion? It was planned all along. Somehow I doubt she'd wear that star shaped nipple shield clamp pastie borg implant thing (or as Drudge calls it, a "nipple medallion" (wow am I gonna get a lot of google hits out of this story)) without the intention of showing it off. Oh and in case you missed it (like I did), click more to see some pictures. :)
Update: Someone sent me this ironic flash movie from 2001 that talks about Janet staging a "boob out". ha!

Rabbi Offers Prayer for Web Porn Browsers
bq. "Please God, help me cleanse the computer of viruses and evil photographs which disturb and ruin my work..., so that I shall be able to cleanse myself (of sin)"
bq. The "rabbi recommends":http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=/nm/20040121/odnm/oddinternetsexdc that Jews recite the prayer when they log on to the Internet or even program it to flash up on their computer screens so they are spiritually covered whether they enter a porn site intentionally or by mistake.
USB Coffee Mug Warmer!
Finally, a "useful usb powered device":http://www.pccasegear.com/prod1056.htm. Unlike some of the other wacky ones like a "usb powered toothbrush":http://www.gizmodo.com/archives/005766.php or a "usb powered christmas tree":http://www.gizmodo.com/archives/010180.php. I want one!
Gollum iPod and the iPod mini

bq. Gollum has a new precious, my precious, and he is not going to let that fat hobbit get his filthy paws on it, will he, my precious?
Order your "precious t-shirts here":http://www.geocities.com/podhat/gollum.html.
Then there's the "iPod mini":http://www.apple.com/ipodmini/. Jeeze can that thing suck any harder? I want an iPod. I'd get an iPod mini if it had even half the storage if it was half the price. There's no way I'd spend "$249 for 4 gig":http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore?family=iPodmini when I could pay "$299 for 15 gig":http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore?family=iPod. Even if it doesn't come in candy apple pink or go all the way up to 11. Businessweek had a great article, "Jobs's Jedi-esque powers of reality dispersion":http://www.businessweek.com/print/technology/content/jan2004/tc20040175927tc056.htm?tc, indeed!
Fun With Google
Goto google and do a search for miserable failure and press I'm Feeling Lucky. More info here along with a lovely picture. Strangely enough www.michaelmoore.com is number two even though it doesn't say miserable failure anywhere on his site. Looks like someone is trying to fight back. :)
(btw try doing a search for Amy Wynn Pastor Nude and click I'm feeling lucky)
Church Signs
a boy and his computer - church signs
You've seen them - the signs in front of churches, with a witticism or a pun that made you groan. I think they're hilarious, often unintentionally so.
Some of my favorites:
"The most powerfull position is on your knees."
"Don't make me come down there - God"
"Stop drop and roll does not work in hell."
Those kookie christians...
He even created a church sign generator that lets you create a jpg with your own custom words.
