25. July 2007
What the heck, this is awesome: Â Drinkers spilled out of pubs, motorists stopped to gawp and camera phones were aimed upwards as the five orbs, in a seeming formation, hovered above Stratford-Upon-Avon for half an hour. The unidentified flying objects lit up the otherwise clear night sky above the Bard’s birthplace in Warwickshire on Saturday.

A great blog post over at LifeHack, my favorites were: Most of it doesn’t matter. Waiting to do something until you can be sure of doing it exactly right means waiting for ever. Every winner is destined to be a loser in due course. You can rarely, if ever, please, placate, change, or mollify an asshole. People are oddly consistent. However [...]

24. July 2007
Claimed to be the productivity secret of Jerry Seinfeld and a great suggestion. It goes as follows: Cut a hole in a box… … woops wrong tip… here’s the real one: Get a calendar that shows every day of the year on a wall-sized piece of paper and a red marker Decide what you want to do/get better at (e.g. [...]

20. July 2007
Sharp is announcing both 52″ ($7k) and 65″ ($11k) THX-certified LCD-based HDTVs to their lineup. What is a THX-certified TV? It’s a TV that has brightness and contrast ratios that meet the THX-movie-viewing specification.

18. July 2007
Over at VE3D they have a portion of an interview from EGM with the Halo team that goes: “We’re not dumb,” says Bungie’s Frank O’Conner. “We know that people want it and we’re trying to make it happen. I think the biggest problem for us for online co-op is that we have a situation where you [...]

If you are in the market for an HDTV, I’d suggest waiting. For 52″ and lower sized LCD is the way to go, EngadgetHD is covering the explosion of LCD-based announcements coming out of manufacturers right now. Pioneer and Panasonic are both hanging in the Plasma camp, hoping to make a go of it until the [...]

18. July 2007
No one is arguing that it’s not an interesting idea… but I don’t think adding physical distance between the 100s of text items you have to deal with every day is a great idea and improves your productivity. Spam sharks? Fat guys and hot chicks? Does this remind anyone else of “OMG, this is Unix, I [...]

16. July 2007
Looks like Vivendi and Monolith have been waging a legal battle over the rights to F.E.A.R. and Monolith won everything except the rights to use the name.
