Doing some perl research and found a very nice use of the Finance::Quote module…..this:
They’re 8 foot tall puppets which mimic the movement of the stock market in realtime. They were part of burning man 2000.
Speaking of Chinese super-companies taking over our country and Walmart helping…..This viral advertising campaign is a little bit of light-hearted fun. Pretty creative, nice looking.
The Whois gives this info…someone in Hong Kong, I assume:

As a response to this inq article, I wrote this to Nick Farrell
“To Sun,
I think an easy way to get some positive talk with your name attach to it into the heads of gamers would be to donate (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) some servers to games which are not yet MMO, like battlefield2 and battlefield 1942. I still play those a bit and we could use some non-suck 64 player servers.
I know for a fact that one of them opteron servers will do nicely. I’m sure this opportunity exists for other games.
It’s just something to think about being as I, and a surprisingly large amount of us engineers, play online games. I used to know a bunch of AMD people who gamed. I’d assume its the same accross the board with us engi-dorks.
Please and Thank You,

Looks like someone finally implemented the design Cole and I were talking over a few years back. Click on “Click here to see them in action…” to watch the video.
Bastards.
Things like this…
…are great examples of common things that can be done better if someone just some thought put into it. There’s always going to be a need for creative design. Thanks GRYNX
Here are some other examples I ran into some other examples last night while learning about Buckminster Fuller
I ran across this in a thread on FW…It details how to build this little guy:
It is a PC connection to a regular old phone. So you can use a regular phone like these at home:
Update: This looks to be less work and more quick-and dirty. Probably the way I’d go… They just open it up and solder wires to pads where sound comes in and out.
I missed this story until Mike Feldman brought it up on his annoying show this week. Apparantly Barb “donated” to katrina victims so they could buy Neils software. From Talking Points:
“Ignite!’s has a unique business model, which works like this. Neil goes around the world finding international statesmen, bigwigs and criminals who want to ‘invest’ in Ignite! as a way to curry favor with the brother in the White House.”
Barb Bush continues to please…she even hates the Simpsons! The enemy of my friend is my enemy.
What is going ON in that family? It’s like a competition who in the Bush family can be the biggest scumbag….
Here you can see a presentation given by Danny O’Brien and Jason Schultz about the EFF.

What happens when code dorks meet robots? Well they naturally enslave them to be commanded them with their voice.
