At some point we have all wondered it, when can I get an MP3 player that I can put in my hat? We of course quickly wrote this off as silly and moved on with our lives. Not the folks at Gesten, who decided to run with it and create the iCap.
If your goal is to jam out with a goofy looking contraption on your head, then the iCap is for you. $99.95 gets you a heavy hat with only 1GB worth of storage.

Back when I started this site, it was completely free. Built on Blogger, images hosted at photobucket, and email provided through a service that had just sprung up at AOL: My eAddress. At the time this was fantastic because I could pick an email for the site which was close to the domain that I would eventually purchase. It turned out that AOL was not going to give users access to the domain outside of emails, so I bought up a couple of domains anyway. Still ended up continuing to use the emails since the first hosting service I had was terrible and did not want to put emails there. A different host and a couple of blogging platforms later, the eAddress is no longer going to be around.

Today there was a lovely email in my inbox:

As of December 31, 2008, AOL will no longer maintain ownership of domain names registered through My eAddress. Before we release all registered names, however, we are offering our users the opportunity to take ownership of the domains themselves, while continuing to use the My eAddress service. You must take advantage of this offer before December 31, 2008 to avoid disruption to your email service.

So now its time to stop being lazy and then wait for the domains to go to back into gen-pop. Its too bad, those emails were handy for beta testing software and the spam that followed.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to ride your own Battle Mammoth? Using your magnificent steed’s tusks to gore and rip at those who oppose you? Those who would fight truth, justice, fairness and the vagabond way? Well dream no more my friend, for RIKEN, a genetics lab in Japan, is having great successes in the fields of cloning long frozen & damaged cells.

Sure, it may only be mice at this time, but soon we shall have Siberian Tigers, Woolly Mammoths, and the great Dodo. (No, not you Mr. President, I meant the Dodo Bird, no, seriously, I’m not calling you a Dodo or a bird, I’m not British, sheesh, shut up! Stop talking! That’s it, I’m going back behind the bookshelf after this post, and won’t return until they elect a new president.. Oh, they did? Maybe I should pay attention some time?)

Even better, they can reproduce! So, if your entire family is inadvertently killed by the Robot Overlords, then you can replace them 100% now, and even have them reproduce, creating additional non-cloned children (Results may vary.)

Unfortunately at this time, it has not been proven to be able to recover damaged cells, or aid in the reproducing of hair follicles for those with thinning hair.

Lastly, there is no more need to take care of the environment if we can just recreate entire populations and house them in frozen tundras.

Technology is wonderful. Only technology could bring together tons of people who don’t mind throwing a few back, without them having to leave their house. Drinkolic brings the drinking expertise of many and presents it in a big list of recipes.
While it is not a social network (unlike most of the new guys lately) it is a nice portal to login, rate and make comments on just about any drink thats not bound by a trademark. The entries for the drinks are sorted by recipe, glassware served in, or ingredients involved so you could stumble over your favorite recipe at random.
Since it is a site all about drinking, it does not leave out the folks that do not drink alcohol. Drinkolic features Non-Alcoholic cocktails, milkshakes (just one for now since most of the content is user generated), coffees, and teas. One quick warning though, considering the names of many of the beverages have been coined by drunk people, this site is mostly NSFW.
A lovely addition to the option of listing recipes and posting photos is the option to add video of the drink being made. Right now the video content is restricted to youtube videos, but that will probably not limit the findings too much. If you like beverages you should check out drinkolic. Don’t let the simple design of the site fool you, there is lots of useful information in there.

One thing I could never get to work the way I wanted in WordPress for a long time was a good plugin for polls and surveys. Had to give up on the available set and writing the code out myself–which was not pretty. Then PollDaddy showed up to save the day. Continue Reading » »

Last week, Verisign acquired the company that controlls the .name domain.  When I first read this, I was concerned since that meant one less entity involved with top level domains. After a bit of thought, I wondered who actually used a .name domain. The only place I have seen a .name address is when I signed up for a Naymz profile and they gave me one free for a month or so.

I just pulled up a couple of search engines and its either that or those services that try to charge you for an email with your name in it. I’m sure the acquisition is appalling news to someone, but I bet a good number of people who read this post did not even remember the domain existed.
