Apple announces it's Universal Logo for applications that are cross-compatible with both PowerPC and Intel chips. Apple has been rolling out it's Intel campaign full force : billboards that say "What's an Intel chip doing in a Mac? ... A whole lot more than it's ever done in a PC", more ads that possiblity infringe on copyrights, and insulting PCs and offending Intel ith their commercials. It is said that causing controversy is better than apathy as it creates buzz. Perhaps Apple has a secret controversy creation marketing strategy that consists of alllllllmost ripping off other people's marketing?

Vote for General Zod in 2008
"When I first came to your planet and demanded your homes, property and very lives, I didn't know you were already doing so, willingly, with your own government. I can win no tribute from a bankrupted nation populated by feeble flag-waving plebians. In 2008 I shall restore your dignity and make you servants worthy of my rule. This new government shall become a tool of my oppression. Instead of hidden agendas and waffling policies, I offer you direct candor and brutal certainty. I only ask for your tribute, your lives, and your vote."

I will never admit to having used a bopper of any sort when I was younger! Never did I spend nights camping with a bunch of nerd friends and go on midnight raids to attack the enemy's tents. I never ever had a bunch of fun live role-playing.
Now you too one day can deny your nerd-ful-ness and make a bopper - a fakie 'soft-sword' great for whacking the crap outta your buddies while hacking & slashing in the back woods. Whether you wanna be Inuyasha or Tolkien Dwarf, the bopper building technique can be adapted to suit your unique geek 'needs'. Be careful with your bopper - misuse can result in permanent social awkwardness!

The Rogue Bomber Jacket from Reilly Olmes is sweet. Wrap yourself in updated modern 80s style for a touch of that badass cyberpunk Cayce Pollard look (Her's were Buzz Rickson's MA-1s).

The Unofficial Apple Weblog posted about Atech's toilet paper dispenser/iPod dock from MacWorld. Almost as silly as my rsstroom reader concept.

Okay, it may not be up to Martha's standards, but if you find yourself stranded & hungry near bubbling lava and happen to have some big ole leaves, a shovel and an uncooked bird with you, this trick might get you out of a pinch. Encasing your food in red hot lava until it hardens and becomes it's own oven sounds like a ton of fun, but I can tell you from experience that getting within even 3 feet of red hot lava is not for the faint of heart. And even if you do manage to pull it off, keep in mind the Hawaiian goddess Pele might seek vengeance for desecrating her land (plus it's illegal to cook or remove food from the Hawaii National Park). But if you want to guarantee pissing off Pele as well as the native Hawaiians, doo (doo) as Billy does (errr, not really work safe folks!.

Animaatiokone Industries has produced a funky interactive exhibit/kiosk that allows participants to create their own little claymation scenes. While cobbled together from random stuff like a potato peeling machine and a pinball machine, it is nonetheless a very functional and powerful instant workstation. It allows you to onion skin, capture & delete frames, even add a soundtrack. All within the safety of self-contained 'scene' complete with backdrop, set pieces, controllable using nifty 'clean room gloves'. Only after creating your own 3 second crude masterpiece will you truly appreciate the talent behind Gromit & his Jacobs cracker eating owner Wallace.
