The most valuable supply of worthlessness on the web
If you long for those many, many great Sega games from your youth (and some not so great games to take along since you’re carrying the great games), you need the new Coleco Sonic Handheld system, available soon for ~$50. (via Joystiq)

These are really cool looking bookshelves. A set of 7 shapes which can be configured in numerous ways to form a visually appealing shelving system. Unfortunately, there doesn’t appear to be a US distributor, so I can’t say how much they would cost if I were try coercing my wife into buying me a set.

If you work on anything where you really need to protect what is displayed from inadvertant viewing, perhaps you need one of Mitsubishi’s new privacy enhanced computer displays. The short explanation of how the display works is that it rapidly draws the intended image along with the inverse of that image. You wear special glasses to screen out the inverse image, but anyone without the glasses synced to your display only sees grey static due to the blending of the two images.
This one is totally going on my “Give me gifts” page. I want to have a USB powered beverage heating/cooling tray. Heating USB gadgets you can find anywhere. Throw in cooling too, and you’ve stepped into awesome-land. And it’s only 20 bucks. You just can’t beat awesome for $20. Really – I’ve tried and failed, and I am Mr. Awesome. Just ask anyone who knows me. 😉

Ahhh, sweet dear Jessica. I never tire of seeing you.

Man, if I ever have a chance to set my self up with another future ex-Mrs. RagManX, I’m so totally chasing Jessica Alba until she says yes or gets a restraining order. I think I’m in love. And this time, it’s real. Oh, and yes these pictures are large. That’s because there’s too much “I’m in love with her” in these to make the pictures smaller.

But I kinda have a thing for Ms. Alba. I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of looking at her pictures.

You all know I like all things piraty, right? Pirates are even better than frikkin’ sharks with frikkin’ laser beams on their frikkin’ heads (although a pirate with a frikkin’ head-laserfied shark for a pet would be even more awesomer). So when I saw that I could buy pirate tableware with which to dine in me own fine home, I get ter thinkin’ that maybe this would be t’ thin’ fer me to order.

When you carry around rechargeable batteries, you typically have to carry around a recharger, too. And none of us ever really want to carry the charger. So someone came up with the perfect battery for those of us who always seem to travel with a laptop – batteries with a built-in USB plug for recharging.
These AA batteries are currently set to ship in the next few days in the UK. In the future, AAA, C, D, phone charger cells, and 9 volt sizes should be available.

Hey, let’s pick a new web site for me to link to. How about By Gamers for Gamers? There-in, we find an author who tried to get to the bottom of the whole “No announced Oblivion expansion” bit from Bethesda. And what is it that he found? Well, maybe there is no Knights of the White Stallion expansion coming, but there was another rumored expansion name, and he found a little something about that one.
After seeing a random comment from the web, it sparked a little bit of curiousity in me. Some people were saying that the Expansion was “Knights Of The White Stallion” others were sayting it was “Knights Of The Nine”. I decided to do a little digging of my own. First place I hit, was the US Trademark & Patent office.
First I searched for Bethesda. They did NOT file a trademark for either of the speculated titles. Next I searched for the speculated titles. “Knights Of The White Stallion” turned up nothing. On the other hand, “Knights Of The Nine” DID turn up something

We all want fatter digital pipes for a lower cost, right? I mean, all the normal people. I know there are people who think it is acceptable to live mostly off-line, but I like to think of them as moderately to significantly insane. So ignoring those wackos, can we all agree that Franklin, TN is starting to look more interesting than we would have every guessed?
A few weeks ago, Brent Ware took his teenage son on a trip around the world to meet with international clients.
Ware, CEO of Tenvera Inc., said his son was shocked at the technological advantages other parts of the world – especially the Far East – have over the United States. Ware wants to cut that advantage down for Americans with a fiber-optic home networking system that could change the way people all over the world live, entertain and work in their homes.
Tenvera is a Franklin-based company beginning production this month of System 5 technology. Also known as Fiber in the Home (FITH), it takes fiber-optic networking to its final destination: the home.
And Tenvera is working with builders in its hometown to get more fiber in more houses. And I want some of that. Guess I need to find work in the Nashville area, get the wife to find work there, sell the house, move, and enjoy big fat bandwidth numbers.
