Check out this guy's steampunk case mods. I'm especially impressed by his laptop.

Light-bulb joke
Spike Jones 2

It's been a long time since a light-bulb joke made me laugh. This one did the trick:

Q. How many Microsoft programmers does it take to change a light bulb?

A. Three. Two to hold it and one to hammer it into the faucet.

Open Source Watch
Discovery

Karen sent me this interesting press release from Purdue, about an open-source distributed renderer.

If I ever get off my ass and start working with 3D again, it'll definitely come in handy.

Need that toll free number?
Ha! Ha! I am on the Intarweb!

Can't think up a memorable toll-free number for your business? Or want to steal a competitor's clients? Then check out this page and see what currently assigned numbers are becoming available within the next thirty days.

You too, can own 1-800-SUFFERING, or 1-877-GROUT-CLEANING... or 1-877-LOWRY-PARK-ZOO. Or even 1-877-THE-BRADY-BUNCH.

Everyone's a comedian
Condescending Linux user

From the sfdisk manpage:

-O file
Just before writing the new partition, output the sectors that are going to be overwritten to file (where hopefully file resides on another disk, or on a floppy).

-I file
After destroying your filesystems with an unfortunate sfdisk command, you would have been able to restore the old situation if only you had preserved it using the -O flag.
