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.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Calories In – Calories Out<\/a>: By and large, it’s just about that simple.<\/li>\n
  2. Giz Explains: The Magic Behind Touchscreens [Giz Explains]<\/a>: 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.<\/li>\n
  3. Contact lenses for “anime eyes”<\/a>: Ooooh … pretttty … Yeah, it’d be creepy if we were talking about actual body mods, but contact lenses? That’s kind of cool.<\/li>\n
  4. 7 Reasons Fringe <\/em>Will Rule TV<\/a>: Makes a note to put it on the DVR …<\/li>\n
  5. Ruling Splits Star Wars <\/em>Case<\/a>: So …\u00a0the copyright on\u00a0Star Wars designs has lapsed in the UK? Awesome …<\/li>\n
  6. Stopping Movable Type eating your database<\/a>: Making a note of this one. I think I’m okay here, but …<\/li>\n
  7. Movable Type Pro to meld blogging and social networking<\/a>: Urg. 4.2, and I’m still struggling to get around to installing 4.1, let alone update my templates. Urg.<\/li>\n
  8. Trek Online Game Developing<\/a>: 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.<\/li>\n
  9. Starlost, The:<\/em> Release Date (The Correct One!), Extras,…<\/a> : 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.<\/li>\n
  10. I am one grain of sand<\/a>: Hear me roar.<\/li>\n
  11. Giant dog turd wreaks havoc at Swiss museum | World…<\/a>: Oh, Modern Art, is there nothing you cannot do to make us laugh at you?<\/li>\n
  12. 303 – World Government Plan: Aliens to Police USA<\/a>: 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.<\/li>\n
  13. Awesome lightning pictures<\/a>: Lightning is one of the most awesome — and utterly transient — natural phenomina. Coolness.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
