A few weeks ago I filled out a survey for a free lava lamp at Lavaworld. Well, it was too good to be true cause a few days later they emailed me saying that I\’m not getting a free lava lamp(probably cause too many people tried to get one). Instead they offered free shipping or something like that. So today the UPS man knocks on the door and guess what he had? That\’s right, a shiny, red and yellow lava lamp. Sweet. It\’s going in the living room cause I already have one on my desk. Man, I love free stuff.

You ever see those old Ms. Pac-Man tabletop machines? Some dude decided to build his own, and it looks very impressive.

Tapioca milk tea creating waves as fun coffee alternative. Geez, it\’s about time mainstream America caught on to this. I\’ve been drinking that stuff for at least 2 years now, and although it\’s really popular among Asians, I\’ve always wondered why it isn\’t more popular.

Whoa, the week\’s half over and I almost missed Simpsons Week at Daily Radar. You can\’t miss The 50 Greatest Moments in Simpsons History, and The 15 Greatest Homer Simpson Quotes Ever.

Here\’s an interesting article about male nude models and what they do if they get a stiffy. I\’ve always wondered if that ever happens. Good lord, how embarassing.

Even the Forbidden City has a $tarbuck$ now. I guess no place is safe.

I turned in my half-finished program this morning(well, yesterday morning). Man, it feels so good to get that off my chest, even though I\’ll probably get a shitty score on it. I spent the rest of the day relaxing and goofing off. Damn, and now it\’s 1:45. I was planning to go to bed at 1:00. Tomorrow morning(er, today morning) I have to go to the lab with my group to \”present\” our program from my other CS class. That\’s gonna suck.

Ars Technica is one of my favorite sites for computer stuff. Anyway, BBSpot has a parody called AOL Technica. You can probably guess what it\’s about. Heh heh, check out those articles on the side:

Mac OS: It\’s like Windows for Apple

NT is Way Too Complicated

What\’s That Clicky Thing?

Right Click Guide: The Inner Sanctum

I really have to admire anyone who builds a kit spacecraft and actually goes into space in it. I don\’t even trust patches that I sew on myself.

Just in time for Xmas, it\’s the top 10 mp3 portables. Personally, I\’m looking for an mp3 player for my car, although I wouldn\’t mind if someone got me a portable (hint hint).
