• The Tag Heuer Monaco V4 looks like total overkill for a watch, but I\’d still love to have one. It has a drive-belt transmission, a linear oscillating platinum ingot, 39 micro ball races, and 4 barrels mounted in a V. All the cool stuff\’s on the bottom of the watch though, so you can\’t see it unless you wear it upside down.

  • The Birth of Boomboxes. Jeez, I can\’t believe people used to walk around with these things. The second one on this page is pretty cool, it has an actual turntable in it.

  • Holding Pattern is a neat screensaver that simulates the view out an airplane window. The view actually moves too.

  • The instruction manual for the SR-71 Blackbird spyplane was declassified several years ago and is now available online. For some reason I expected something fancier; this looks like it was just photocopied.

  • Fujitsu introduced the latest models in their LOOX line of ultraportable laptops last week. I came real close to buying the previous model, but now I\’m gonna wait for the new one. It has a 1.1Ghz Pentium M, DVD burner, fingerprint scanner, 802.11g, and only weighs 3 lbs. The design looks much sleeker than the old one too.

  • The world\’s biggest sandwich. Eh, it\’s pretty big. I guess.

  • Oh man, I\’d be all over this Back to the Future DeLorean replica if I had the money.

  • I think I might\’ve mentioned this A-Wing-cum-Del Sol before but anyway, I have a better wiseass comment now. Someone should turn their car into a Tie Fighter and crash into this guy just to spite him.

  • This pdf has info about the cars in Kill Bill 2, specifically the DeTomaso Mangusta that Bill drives. And according to this woman\’s account of meeting Quentin Tarantino at a mall, Tarantino got to keep the Pussy Wagon and actually drives it around town. That\’s so cool. I wish more actors would use their movie cars in everyday life. Imagine if Michael Keaton drove around in the Batmobile or Michael J. Fox in the Delorean.

  • Intel rates the most unwired colleges. My alma mater, UCI, is number 14. Take that USC!
