Taking a minute or three off to pull together a few Shared items. Hopefully this makes up a bit for the paucity of actual posts of late.
- Calories In - Calories Out: By and large, it’s just about that simple.
- Giz Explains: The Magic Behind Touchscreens [Giz Explains]: While there’s a long time before it’s altogether true, the touch screen will (IMO) become the dominant physical interface before too long, and having a bunch of buttons, or a “real” keyboard, on the high tech gear will make a lot of SF TV and movies of the past four decades look horribly and laughably dated.
- Contact lenses for “anime eyes”: Ooooh … pretttty … Yeah, it’d be creepy if we were talking about actual body mods, but contact lenses? That’s kind of cool.
- 7 Reasons Fringe Will Rule TV: Makes a note to put it on the DVR …
- Ruling Splits Star Wars Case: So … the copyright on Star Wars designs has lapsed in the UK? Awesome …
- Stopping Movable Type eating your database: Making a note of this one. I think I’m okay here, but …
- Movable Type Pro to meld blogging and social networking: Urg. 4.2, and I’m still struggling to get around to installing 4.1, let alone update my templates. Urg.
- Trek Online Game Developing: On the one hand, the Trek-verse has a huge potential for a shared gaming universe. On the other hand, intentionally pulling it “after” the “current” continuity, such that one won’t interact with any “name” talents, is going to seriously impair its popularity.
- Starlost, The: Release Date (The Correct One!), Extras,… : Sorry, as much as I have a perverse desire to see this childhood love (and famous train wreck of a series), I’m not going to pay that much for the privilege.
- I am one grain of sand: Hear me roar.
- Giant dog turd wreaks havoc at Swiss museum | World…: Oh, Modern Art, is there nothing you cannot do to make us laugh at you?
- 303 - World Government Plan: Aliens to Police USA: I don’t see a dot on the map for the underground slave labor camp out at Denver International … so it must be a fake.
- Awesome lightning pictures: Lightning is one of the most awesome — and utterly transient — natural phenomina. Coolness.
