P.S. I'm at homecoming right now. Sweet.

Invisibility Jacket

We're one step closer to Solid Snake's invisibility cloak. And I think it makes for a pretty trendy fashion statement too.

Cyberpunctual

Biotechnology? Invisibility cloaking? I'm not sure if anyone else is a fan of Ghost in the Shell, but some scientists seem to be trying to bring that world to fruition. And with a prediction like "humans will be mostly non-biological by around 2030" it seems they're trying to catch up with the storyline. I just hope they skip over the whole World War III and World War IV parts of the plot.

Of course cyberpunk stories like Blade Runner, RoboCop, and The Matrix also come to mind, but for whatever reason Ghost in the Shell seems the most plausible to me.

As soon as I read an article about warp drive technology I'll probably go ahead and make some Star Trek jokes.

Shoulda Been an Architect

I should have been an architect, only because this is so freakin' sweet...

While I'm thinking about architecture, I'll mention my discovery of Google SketchUp the other day - which is also freakin' sweet. How have I not heard about this software until version six? Anyways, it's amongst the coolest free apps I ever downloaded, right up there with Firefox and VLC.

P.S. Firefox 3 is out. It rocks.

The New Girlfriend

Sorry Jenny, you've been replaced. Everybody, I'd like you to meet my new girlfriend. Her name is Samsung LN-T4661. She puts out.

Disclaimer: Any chicks offended by the notion that an HDTV can replace a girlfriend should take a Midol and chill-the-fuck out. After all, the HDTV doesn't have boobs.
