Once again thanks to Speckz.com for leading us to the history of All Your Base. I, for one, have always preferred The Terrible Secret Of Space, though I’m a big fan of clever Photoshopping.

Thanks to friend Dawn up in Seattle for sending along the link to one of the more unusual casemods I’ve seen: the Aqua Tank.

I’d get into casemodding, but it requires some things I lack, such as money and a certain facility with tools.

I agree with Speckz.com: “I don’t know where people come up with this…”

It isn’t exactly breaking news, but Wendi forwarded to me this 2600 article about how big media corporations view the practice of skipping commercials.

What I especially love is the notion that I have a “contract with the network” when I watch television programming. Er, you said what? I don’t remember signing any contract, pal. I’m free to skip over your stupid commercials any time I want. Seriously.

Thanks to Megan Denny here at the office for forwarding the link to the Lego Holy Grail movie.

Via Slashdot, this report about the aftermath of Microsoft’s ultimatum to Pacific Northwest school districts. There’s some background, a link or two and some very excellent positive ideas on where to go from here.
