Gaming consoles these days are down right powerful machines. I’ve read stories about people running Playstation3 Cluster Farms and other fun projects. This is a funny story I came across about a University using an X-Box for a web server.

Get Down, Get Down.
He’s BIG, he’s white, and he can dance 
I recently attended a conference for work and a buddy of mine (now ex-buddy) got some video of me on stage dancing it up with Wyclef Jean. It was a blast!
Use Windows or Go to Jail.
Came across this story today, thought it was kind of funny. This Linux user was convicted of doing some bad things on the Internet and is now being told that if he doesn’t start using Windows he will not be allowed to use a computer.

Burning up the charts, Geek Rap
OK, this one is going to be strictly for my geek friends, I doubt anyone else will appreciate this. This is some geek rap. This guy is rapping about Unix commands.
Celebrity Patients
You may recall a couple of post ago I made mention of Google’s New Patent Search, well it looks like someone took the time to compile a list of patients filed by celebrities. Check it out at Ironic Sans. It’s a pretty interesting read with patients such as Michael Jacksons “Method and means for creating anti-gravity illusion” and Eddie Van Halen’s “Musical instrument support”.

Ikea's Vibrator Ad

Caught on the John by John
Since all the new Apple laptop computers come with a built in webcam, some companies have come up with some pretty cool anti-theft systems for laptops. A company call Orbicule is one such company with a kind of low-jack system for you laptop.
Well they love to publish some of their recovery stories on their site. This one is one of the odder type stories. So what happens is when a client calls and tells orbicule that their system has been stolen they activate their software. One of the things their software does is start to take pictures of whoever is using the computer.
This dumb a** thief got his picture taken while he was trying to take care of some of his own personal business in the bathroom. Now I am about as geeky as they come but I never understood why people took their laptop with then into the bathroom.

Why I'm Not Rich
I knew there was a reason why I wasn’t becoming a millionaire when I visited Vegas, they cheated and now I have the proof. Either that or I am really bad at cards.
Radioactive Man
Check it out, I am Radioactive again.
For those of you who follow my story, you might remember this is not this first time I’ve become radioactive but this time they gave me a cool card. This is so if I happen to set off a Geiger Counter (seriously). I totally want to go somewhere and set off a geiger counter. The key is in the timing, you have to say “What is that green ooze?” right before the alarm sounds. Where does a man have to go to set off a radiation leak alarm???
