I doubt many of them would make sense... no offense....<br /><br />My favorite quote on the page:<br />" Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a violent psychopath who knows where you live.” - Rick Osborne<br /><br />Check it out, it's worth a glance.<br /><br />-RobbieRobbiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01940426086355348350noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4914012315701917324.post-52993048802884057032009-02-21T12:42:00.003-05:002009-02-21T12:50:24.561-05:00I don't know if this is brilliant or slightly sketchy, but Japanese scientists are working on a way to store data in the genetics of bacteria.

There's a lot of cool stuff from office toys to clever t-shirts.<br /><br />(http://www.thinkgeek.com/)<br /><br />My favorite part is the <a href="http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/">Gadgets</a> section. There are techy things in there that make me say "That's.... brilliant," and others that make me wonder how someone wasted x-amount of time to do it.<br /><br />(http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/)<br /><br />Techy item of the day: <a href="http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/watches/a8bc/">USB hidden flash drive watch</a><br />(http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/watches/a8bc/)<br /><br />For some reason, I really like spy-ish things with cool features. The watch looks fantastic. The functionality of the USB plug may be questionable, but who could complain? I'm sure you've found yourself saying, "This is an awesome high-class party. I really wish I could steal [this] off their computer though. <em>Too bad I don't have a watch with a hidden USB plug....</em>"<br /><br />Comments? Opinions?

There are a LOT of social networks start by... well, anyone! I'm involved with the <a href="http://geeks.pirillo.com/">Geeks!</a> social network.<br />(http://geeks.pirillo.com/)<br /><br />It's pretty cool! Lots of forums about interesting things, videos, audio, notes, friend system, everything that makes a good network.<br /><br />Perhaps the best part of ning.com is the ability for anyone to start a network. I've thought hard about different networks to create, but none of them have really sparked enough interest in my mind to get them going. Someday though, someday....<br /><br />If you've got an idea now, get on it fast!<br /><br />I recommend www.ning.com to anyone who enjoys online interaction and online friends.

And useful. What else might I want? maybe a bit more memory, but that's just a technicality... ha... punned.<br /><br />Site Rating -<br />Design: 6/10 - It's a little boring, but gets the job done.<br />Content: 9/10 - Very cool, very interesting, not useful.
