• These welding helmets are so cool. I like the android ones.

  • Students dressed as pirates stormed a RIAA meeting at Yale, pillaging, plundering, looting, sacking and burning.

    They also distributed burned music CDs with a mix of hits by popular artists including Missy \”Misdemeanor\” Elliott, Outkast, and the Beatles…

    Awesome.

  • This page has footage shot from the camera that was attached to the outside of the space shuttle last Monday. Pretty cool, although something happens at the end so we don\’t see the whole launch. I never realized the shuttle moves so fast. Must be one hell of a ride.

  • DVD File reviews the Star Wars Episode II DVD, due to be released on November 12th (already!). It has reference-quality video and audio and a ton of extra features, including behind-the-scenes featurettes, deleted scenes, a commentary, and web documentaries. Good thing George Lucas didn\’t wait a couple years to release the DVD this time, unlike Episode I.

  • The Archos Multimedia Jukebox is reviewed on MP3 Newswire. Overall it sounds like a kick-ass new toy. It looks kind of big, but then again you can do a ton of stuff with it.

  • Modern Living is a collection of weird little Flash animations. In one of them, you move your mouse over a guy\’s portrait and spikes grow out of his face. I think I\’ve found something to occupy my time at work tomorrow.

  • I\’ve been reading this great piece at the LA Times called Enrique\’s Journey. It\’s a 6 part story about a boy\’s journey from Honduras to North Carolina in search of his mother. He makes his way north riding dangerous freight trains, gets beaten up and robbed several times, gets helped by strangers, and finally makes it into the US. It\’s a good read for a slow Monday. Great photography too.

  • This picture rocks.

  • The AOpen vacuum tube motherboard that was announced a couple months ago is finally reviewed. It seems like more of a novelty, actually, as it\’s just an average motherboard. That vacuum tube still looks pretty cool though.

  • This is weirdest thing I\’ve seen all year: a Montana politician has literally turned blue because he was taking a homemade collodial silver solution that he thought would protect him from disease. The condition, known as argyria, is permanent and \”generally not serious.\” Poor guy, no one\’s gonna take him seriously anymore.
