The Mobilebag is a free design for a pouch to put your cellphone in and hang from your charger. That way you won\’t have to leave your cellphone on the ground. Pretty clever.

This is cool. Think Tank is a computer built into a motorcycle fuel tank. I want an American flag painted on mine à la Easy Rider.

From a reliable source this time, Newsweek has details about the new iPods. Somewhat smaller size, a click wheel like on the iPod Mini, and 12 hours of battery life. Not bad. I might get one to replace my old iPod, cause the battery\’s starting to die already (I just replaced it last October!)

The Complete Guide to Isometric Pixel Art. These look like they\’re fun to draw, but I\’m sure it\’s harder than it looks. Hmmm…I might give it a shot if I have some free time.

Health Officials Warn Residents About \’Bathtub Cheese\’

The illegal products, known as \”bathtub cheese,\” are a health threat because unlicensed manufacturers use raw, unpasteurized milk that can promote bacteria growth, according to health officials.

\”We have found these illegal cheeses being sold from the back of cars or trucks, at swap meets and from door-to-door salespeople,\” said Gary Erbeck, director of the County Environmental Health Department.

Who the hell buys cheese from the back of a car? Is cheese really so expensive that you have to buy it on the black market? Come on people.

This site has a huge collection of movie title cards. The Ghost World title rocks.

I don\’t know how reliable Think Secret is, but they\’re reporting on new iPods in August. The design will be similar to the iPod mini, but slightly larger I guess. That\’ll be cool. I like the integrated buttons/scroll wheel design. The separate buttons on the 3rd gen iPod looks kind of weird.

The Batmobile from the upcoming Batman Begins movie was unveiled in New York. Batmobile? More like a Battank, eh? Some small pics here (You gotta register for larger versions). I like it, looks dark and gritty. Much better than the last 2 cartoonish Batman movies.

For sale — cheap: \’Dead white men\’s clothing\’. This is an interesting article about discarded clothes from America being resold in Africa.

A young man in the Congolese jungle wears a T-shirt that pleads: \”Beam me up, Scotty.\” In a Lagos nightclub, a Nigerian ingenue models a used red negligee over a hot-pink halter top. A young Liberian fighter with an AK-47 assault rifle wears a tan bathrobe like a trench coat.

In Togo, the castoffs are called \”dead white men\’s clothing.\” Few people in that West African country believe that a living person would throw away anything this good. Consumers in Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania call the used clothing mitumba, the Swahili word for bale.

So that\’s where my New Kids On the Block t-shirt went. I thought it just went to the dump when my parents threw it away.

I knew Disneyland has had accidents in its past resulting in deaths, but I didn\’t know they were this grisly. Dismemberments, drownings, skull bisections, stabbings, shootings, \”alleged torso detachment\”, head trauma; jeez, it sounds more like Iraq than the Magic Kingdom.
