Gustav (yes, the Gustav) sent me the following bit of amusement. It’s an Engadget homage, of sorts, to the heady days of yore, back when we engaged in all sorts of wild speculation about what computing technology would be like in the years to come.
You know, ‘cause we don’t do that sort of thing nowadays. Ahem.
Anyway, read and enjoy, won’t you?
In a fit of getting-things-done, I’ve finally posted my slowly-growing collection of photographic computer desktop wallpapers in the gallery. While I was at it, I also posted some of my favorite collected anime wallpapers.
Share and enjoy. Please don’t hotlink, however. I don’t want to have to start doing Stupid Apache Tricks, hmm?

Via Jack Bog, etc, the following article from National Geographic Magazine… dated October of 2004.
I knew about Phil Plait’s Bad Astronomy website, but I wasn’t aware until very recently that he runs a related blog as well. Hot diggity!
Check out the following entry which consists (mainly) of a priceless rant against astrology.
Who says science can’t be beautiful? Check out the winners and other contestants in the first annual “Art of Science” competition…
This is awesome. Finally there’s a Jabber server that has widespread name recognition and a huge preinstalled userbase.
Wow.
If you use Gaim (like I do) and have a Gmail account (like I do, and if you don’t I have invites to spare), check out these instructions. Otherwise, just follow the link below and either get their software (it includes voice chat, which I don’t specifically need) or find out how to configure your multi-IM program of choice.
Again I say: Wow.
(Oh, the Gmail account thing? Apparently you won’t need my invites: “Google Talk requires a Gmail username and password, and starting today, Google is making it easier for anyone in the U.S. with access to a mobile phone to sign up for a Gmail account. When users visit http://gmail.com and enter their mobile phone number, they will receive an invitation code via a text message. This code enables them to open an account.” Go figure…)
