The Simian Downtime Analyst

Mean Mario Faker. Found on YouTube. Think its called Syobon.

Once again South Korean folks make us look like idiots. Visa via USB. Plug the sucker in and you don’t have to enter your credit card info. I’m very jealous. The company that makes it Shinhan also produces a plastic “Shinhan Love Card” for the normal guys who like funny names for their credit card. Info from the Korea IT News. Pic from The Raw Feed.

I’m too lazy too pop out my laptop to see when there is open wifi around. I’m too lazy to bust out the little hand-held readers. But, if it were on a watch
, then I wouldn’t have to carry more junk in a bag or in my pocket.

Check out the Wifi Watch from ThinkGeek.com

Having recently been shackled to a low budget multi-person cubicle forced to listen to people growl at me because they were too stupid to get to their email due to their inability to spell their own name, this is hiliarious. There is a Japanese company called Digital Technologies that is working on creating software that will rank callers on a scale of 1-7 of happy to pissed. Unfortunately, no details as to what the system does to the folks that are stark raving mad, but its bloody funny to me regardless. “You seem to be upset with your service, your concerns are very important to us, please continue to hold.” …If only I knew Japanese…

There is a new transitional tool for infants that is supposed to replicate the touch of another human being for comfort. Zaky Baby Pillows.

It creeps me out so I am just going to link it.

As I have stated in the past, there is this somewhat lovely site that offers completely free music downloads. While it does have DRM, it does let folks download songs on the gratis tip. I figured it would have completely folded by now due to all the anti-DRM stuff going around. But it is a good site for those that just listen to the music on the pc.

Good luck SpiralFrog.

So there is this kid in Kent, whose parents are quite “Fantastic!”

This “lil doctor” who does look like a little baby tennant, was given a bedroom that looks just like the Tardis. While I am not jealous that the kid is more of a Who-nerd than me, because he is not, but that his parents had enough cash to do that.

Rock on little Time Lord
