Elvis is Dead
I never met Steve Jobs. I never worked for him. I never even met him, but when I heard the news last night of his passing, I felt like something inside me passed as well. He inspired so many people to not just create, but to make it your passion to create great things. His [...]
Apple-Equipped Bentley Mulsanne
How can you make the Mulsanne just a little more exclusive? Add a Mac Mini, a couple of iPads and a lot of extra cash. Via Engadget

This is why I stay with Apple
While I didn’t write this, I have agree with the point that Apple’s service is difficult to beat. If you’ve ever dealt with customer service or attempted to obtain repair service from Dell or any other PC manufacturer, you know how hard it really is. From Chris Rawson at TUAW

Flickr Find Friday
The Macgasm blog is now featuring Flickr Find Friday. Each week a user submitted photo from their Flickr group is selected and featured on their site. Last week’s photo was this nice classic Mac SE that apparently is fully functional and is even Twitter-capable. via Macgasm
Washington State L&I “Borrows” Icon
While it has since been pulled from their site, some somewhat-less-than-clever webmaster over at the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries chose to “borrow” and tweak an icon from the developers of Bodega. Somehow removing the “Bodega” sign from the icon was thought to be one of the requirements for assuming ownership. The image [...]
The Cougatti Veyron
Now this is a cool project car! You have to really want a Veyron pretty bad to take on a project like this. via Pistonheads
QR Code Tattoo
I think this is a first, both in the live-streaming of the tattoo process and of the tattoo being an interactive piece of art.
This is what engineering is all about
I used to think that all of the cool robotic and automated creations at BrickCon were so cool, until I saw this: Lego Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet on Autoblog.

Checking On Your Laundry with the iPhone
I am constantly amazed by the creative ways folks have been able to use the power of the iPhone and iPad. At the University of Iowa, administrators have created an app which enables students to, among other things, check on their laundry. via the Iowa City Press-Citizen
This Won’t End Well.
We all know that people have been building robots for what seems like forever. And they have been getting more and more sophisticated all the time. Remember when we thought Johnny Five was cool? Ok, nobody really thought Johnny Five was cool (with the exception maybe of the folks at www.johnny-five.com). Cyberdyne is for real [...]
Even Paper iPads are Hard To Come By
Looks like the Chinese are having a hard time even getting paper replicas of the iPad. Via Switched Original Article Link
Android’s Answer to Pinch to Zoom
Apple’s patented Pinch-To-Zoom feature on iOS devices has required competitors to think outside of the box. When I first saw this I was convinced that The Onion or Funny or Die was behind it, but it turns out that this is for real. via Popular Science Since PopSci’s embed code was being uncooperative, you’ll need [...]
BBC on iTunes
I may be late to the game on this one, but nonetheless I’m excited about it. Top Gear and Dr. Who on iTunes! Looks like they have seasons 1-16 of Top Gear and the entire David Tennant Dr. Who. Now can we get some of the excellent back catalog of BBC shows? Life on Mars [...]
DOT Should Pay Attention To This
This is amazing. Take a pothole anywhere in the US and you might as well plan on entering into retirement before it actually gets fixed. And even after it does get fixed there will probably be some reason to keep the traffic re-routed and the orange cones out for another indeterminate amount of time. Via [...]
The Boy Who Met Jesus
This isn’t your normal story of a boy accepting his savior. This is something much more interesting. Via MSNBC

Goodbye to Flash
It looks like HTML5 is on everyone’s minds these days. Apple famously has rejected Flash support of any kind on it’s iOS devices and it seems that others are following suit. Firefox VP: Say Goodbye To Flash via Fast Company
