Where are the Dimebag Darrells of today? I blame “American Idol”. So weak sister.

Some people have taken upon themselves to redesign our beloved, but utterly boring currency. See more at the Dollar ReDe$ign Project (via ISO50).

I think I like this one the best. Speak volumes about our confidence in the future.

The best of Craig’s List is always a good time killer.

First, I love movies. Second, I have small children. As a result, I never get to watch movies which was the primary reason I bought the iPhone. With the iPhone, I can watch a movie throughout the small, free-time gaps in an average day (usually within the confines of the bathroom). There in lies the rub. In iTunes, you can either buy or rent and in some cases you may only have one of the two options.

I’ve tried both options and neither work for me. Buying is too expensive ($15.00) and why do I want to own a digital copy? I rarely will watch a movie again unless I happen upon it on TV. Renting is less expensive ($5.00), but there is a 24-hour time period in which you can watch the film once you start. Don’t these people have kids? Disaster could strike at any moment. A kid could choke on some gum, fall down down a well or “accidentally” run into Daddy’s clenched fist. A 24-hour window is just too small.

There is a third option, Bit Torrent, but I don’t have the time to search, download, reformat, watch out for Trojan Horses, etc.  Besides, I’m a fairly honest guy and want to actually pay for someone’s hard work. Even if the movie is a bomb.

Is there a legal third option? I haven’t found it yet, but I hope the movie companies get a clue and provide one.

My Rube Goldburg site is now ad supported. I need to pitch this to Burger King.

If you are looking for inspiration, this is an excellent source for all web designers and developers.

I like the screams of pain. If you make it through all the levels, you can build your own castle. Trying to make a seesaw to flip the king is challenging and fun.

God I hate their smug pixel faces with all their fancy pants ways.

I love this song. Spoon is a great band. Stripped down, no nonsense.  Most of the music today has a completely manufactured sounds to it with a slick coating of marketing. Can anyone sing anymore without technical support?

Must be gettin’ old. Damn kids and their technology…and stay off my damn lawn!
