Pixar – Lifted – the perils–and power–of advanced interaction designs

Being Funny, by Steve Martin

1959 buick convertible – Google Image Search – ooh…a contender for my classic car dreams?

Soft as a Rock – Baekdal.com – very cool, pillows that look like giant rocks.

Several pics of Mazda’s recent concept vehicles – they’re really on a roll…I hope some of them make it to the streets.

Bloomberg Terminal manual (PDF) – about 80 pages of keyboard shortcuts. Now that’s a power application!

HEXBUG Micro Robotic Creatures – can walk around, sense bumps, and change direction on command.

Data for the “paper or plastic” choice – paper was much worse than I thought, especially the energy required to “recycle” it. The real answer? Bring your own.

Using Google to settle African land disputes – “Google can even get you a picture of a mulalo urinating on the Kabaka’s tree or a government official forging the kyapa [title] to the Kabaka’s land. So all that monkey business – with due respect to the nkima clan – will be no more”

History of Religion – the religion map is pretty interesting too.
