WRFF and Snoop Brings Scooters Back to

WRFF and Snoop Brings Scooters Back to
the Mean Streets 08/31/2004 09:43 AM

Is it too much to ask that every minor scooter or bike design tweak not be a revolution of X-temeosity? And is it possible, while we're asking, to never ever entertain the notion that anyone on the planet will buy an extreme scooter because Snoop Dawg is rapping about it? I mean, if you need street cred for a $180 scooter, don't hire the Doggie Dog. Snoop will rap about low-interest mortgages if you pay him to.

So yeah, apparently the defining feature of these new WRFF scooters is that they have an a totally hip tubular advertising budget and are "built for wicked tricks." Hold me back. (Thanks, Jeff!)

The Adventure of the Wooden Spoon

The Adventure of the Wooden Spoon 05/19/2004 06:07 PM
"If this was Jane Austen or Charles Dickens, there would be a national outcry". Thousands of perso nal papers belonging to Sherlock Holmes creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, fetched $1.7 million at an auction Wednesday, with many items sold to private U.S. collectors. The auction was a great disappointment to scholars who had hoped the papers would be donated to a public institution. The archive also became entwined in a mystery worthy of Conan Doyle's fictional detective: the bizarre death of a lead ing Holmes scholar. Lancelyn Green, 50, was found dead in his bed on March 27, garroted with a shoelace tightened by a wooden spoon, and surrounded by stuffed toys. (more inside)

Wooden computer products are becoming more and more popular in Japan for some mysterious reason. The only wood names I could get from the product page were walnut and blackwood — you're on your own for the rest. Some of you would probably do the logical thing and say, "well what the hell, my desk is already wood," but keep in mind that not everyone has a wooden desk. Especially in Japan. If you want to pay some 3,500 yen for a mousepad, be my guest.

Wooden postage stamp from Switzerland

Wooden postage stamp from Switzerland 08/05/2004 12:10 PM
David sez: "Following the w ooden turntable comes the wooden postage stamp! 'On 7 September 2004, Swiss Post will issue its first-ever wooden stamp. Worth five Swiss francs, the "Swiss wood - naturally" stamp is dedicated to Swiss wood... is made of high-quality fir and is 0.7 mm thick.'"

"Yahoo! News reports, 'Designed by Thomas Rathgeb, a graphic artist who works for Swiss Post, the stamps are made from 120-year-old pines felled in northern Switzerland. 'Rathgeb's design focuses on the sustainability and uniqueness of this natural, living material — the structure of the wood, integrated into the contemporary design, produces a different picture on each stamp. This makes each stamp unique, just as each tree is unique,' said Swiss Post."

Danger Hiptop SDK 03/19/2003 10:26 PM
The Danger Hiptop SDK is available. Boing Boing posted an inaccur ate rant from AaronSw about it; you actually can run your own apps on your own Hiptop. But it's still a problem that only T-Mobile-approved apps can be downloaded. It's increasingly clear that the cellular industry needs to be vertically disintegrated just like wired telcos and ISPs. People also need to learn that "unlimited" plans are part of the problem since they incentivize carries to screw with their customers to limit network usage. I'd much prefer an uncensored pay-per-bit plan (or Paris Metro Pricing).
