Chop Limbo!

Labor Day for us Canadian folk...Or maybe it's for other countries to...I honestly have no idea. But as always, we must move on.

  • NerdTV Starts Tomorrow!
For those of you that haven't heard of NerdTV, I suggest you read these articles. In summary it's a 1-Hour program that is distributed only over the internet. You can download it from it's site here and then watch it whenever you want. The creators are hoping to open up a whole new revoloution of the way we watch TV. This certain show though is for Nerds. It show cases talent in the computer biz and interviews many succesful(?) people. If your interested it will be available to download tomorrow.

  • Double Take
This is a really cool piece of technology. It uses a LCD to display two screens at once when viewed at different angles. The company that has developed this technology (Sharp) has gotten their first customer, GM. They plan to use this LCD monitor technology in their vehicles so that the driver can whatch their GPS system while passengers can watch a DVD. Quite a neat use of it...While there are others who have their own ideas of how they would use it...

  • iPod Announcement
For those of you that don't know Apple has sent out an invitation to the press that said the following:
1000 songs in your pocket changed everything. Here we go again.
So as you may have guessed they are indeffinatly talking about the iPod. Now there has been a little bit of speculation as to what it might be. Some say it will be just a small update such as Flash Memory for the Mini, others say it could be the Video iPod (iVod? vPod?), but the most likely idea is that of the iPhone. A phone that can hold music as well as do all of your phone functioning needs. The announcement is this Wednesday, so we'll have to wait and see.

  • House-sitting Robot
This is a really cool robot that can watch over your kids, detect break-ins and even notify others if someone falls ill. Now it would be really nice to have a robot like this, especially for any moms out there. Because we all know that the human race is getting more lazier, not the other way around...Unfortuanatly this robot is only available in Japan, at least for now anyways. But what I really want to know is, how does it get up and down stairs?

  • Pregnancy Tests....
And now for a bit of humor before I depart for today. This is what happens when you don't know what an iPod Shuffle looks like...

Chopping a limbo stick in half can be difficult or easy, depends on how thick the stick is.
