A Whole Lot of Nothing 07/16/2004 03:31 AM

Those of you that have been hanging around here for awhile will know that I am a English major and that I never make English mistakes. HA well now that most of you have just finished laughing I second a idea that the writer at A Whole Lot of Nothing came up with here it is.

"I want a MT plugin that will let a select group of my closest, most trusted friends correct typos in text and URLs on my blog posts and republish their changes without my intervention"

Got a great idea about how to reform the
IRS or our Tax Code? 04/16/2005 02:27 AM
This may come as a bit of a surprise, but the U.S. Government (if not the Internal Revenue Service) is listening and wants to receive proposals from people who have ideas about how to reform the tax code. Heck, there’s even a press release and an entire Web site devoted to this topic, though I haven’t seen any link from the IRS Web site. The President’s Advisory Panel on Federal Tax Reform request for proposals…

The Underground History of American Education
You aren’t compelled to loan your car to anyone who wants it, but you are compelled to surrender your school-age child to strangers who process children for a livelihood.... If I demanded you give up your television to an anonymous, itinerant repairman who needed work you’d think I was crazy; if I came with a policeman who forced you to pay that repairman even after he broke your set, you would be outraged. Why are you so docile when you give up your child to a government agent called a schoolteacher?

Even though the New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer had some choice words for the defendants in a spamming lawsuit, Scott Richter only received a slap on the wrist after a deal was reached. One thing to note is that Richter makes his claim to fame by stating that he makes “several million dollars a month in profits”. If this statement even has a thread of truth to it, then you have to wonder…

Fossil Wrist PDA (Finally) Reviewed

Fossil Wrist PDA (Finally) Reviewed 02/05/2005 10:17 PM

For those of you who don't mind adorning your wrist with what appears to be a small, metal-framed end table comes the Wrist PDA from Fossil. Possibly the first wrist watch to come with a stylus, (albeit one that looks like the nail file from a mini-Leatherman) Fossil has jam-packed every ounce of PalmOS goodness they could into a little square. As a bonus, they've graciously packed it in an adorable orange tin which you can later use to store your Tinker Toys or fingers collection. FossilWristPDA.com has a surprisingly balanced review/getting started guide that gets only a little bit smarmy (and we'll cut them some slack, since they've obviously been anxiously sitting on that domain for a while). It seems that writing on the watch has a bit of a learning curve, but using most third party software works well and allows you to pack quite a bit of functionality onto your wrist. It's only taken like 3 years to get here.

Fossil Wrist PDA Reviewed Again
(Verdict: Outdated) 03/22/2005 04:46 PM

TheRegister has gotten their paws on a Fossil Wrist PDA, the FX2008, and posted their review of it. After having waited "an extra year," the reviewer says it has some serious pitfalls — it's too damn big and has too short a battery life. One is a critical blow to the "watch" aspect, and the other a critical blow to the "PDA" aspect. I'll let you figure out which is which. Fatality.

I've never had much use for cufflinks (especially since my tux and tux-shirt vanished along with three boxes of prized possessions that I mailed from San Francisco to London), but these ones appeal to the autistically instrument-obssessed nerd in me: an entire line of cufflinks with embedded clocks, thermomenters and compasses. It's enough to make me a) want to buy a pair and b) buy a new tux to wear 'em with. Link (Thanks, Yoz!)

Gizmodo reported that people in Hong Kong are going around with short-range walkie talkies in order to communicate with nearby chums wihtout paying a toll to the telcos; now a Gizmodo reader confirms it:

Your entry on the HK Walkie Talkie phenomenon is 100% accurate. All the electronics markets are filled with FRS radios and the like. I've even seen people using them to meet up on the MTR (Subway).

He also says that walkie-talkies that you wear on your wrist (like the one pictured at right) are most definitely the ones to be seen with.

Press Release: MacNETv2 and Blue Moon
Bids partner to sell rare Apple wrist
watches 03/22/2005 04:52 PM

Salem, OR (Blue Moon Bids) March 21, 2005

MacNETv2 is raising funds to buy two Xserve G5 servers. To do so they are parting with three Apple Logo Watches from the 1995 MacWorld Expo. They are in mint condition, never been worn, and have been in safe keeping since they were acquired. The watches are rare and hard to find.

"Before we made the decision to offer these watches for sale to the highest offers we searched all the Apple logo companies to see what they were getting for them. We couldn’t find a single web site offering these watches, and when we searched eBay we found the same thing; no one has them," said the MacNETv2 staff.

One idea

One idea 09/23/2004 11:04 AM
The national oil reserve should be converted into an instrument of market stabilization.  Currently, the US maintains reserves in place for times of war or severe supply disruption.  The US reserves should be refocused to become a service that sells oil to make up for any political/guerrilla induced production shortfalls.  This would require a much larger reserve (1 billion barrels is a target).  If Iraqi guerrillas reduce Iraq's production by 1 m barrels, the US should sell oil to make up the shortfall.  If Venezuela stops production due to political turmoil, replace their 2.5 m barrels a day.  The net benefit to the world from this over the last month?  ~$2-3 billion.
