MvixUSA has build the MvixBox, for only $299, excluding drives, you get a nice little home server. Just add two 1.5Tb drives and you can store some of your favorite series in full HD quality. They should have build an expandable version since my 3Tb will have no space left by the end of the year.

There seems to be an endless supply of picture frames, some of them are indistinguishable and some of them actually have some features which are quite nice.

Join me at the bar, THE bar. Now I would like a draft beer and a better room to put it in.

So I like to cook. I like the smell of the cookbooks and the spots, fingerprints and stains in it from previous attempts to impress the guests. I have to give up on all that but I consider it a minor drawback since I really like this device.

Note: this could be one of those "I like it for one week and never use it again" gadgets, we'll see, still want one though.

A species of bacteria has evolved and more or less slapped creationists in the face.

"In the meantime, the experiment stands as proof that evolution does not always lead to the best possible outcome. Instead, a chance event can sometimes open evolutionary doors for one population that remain forever closed to other populations with different histories."

"At McLean Hospital, a prestigious psychiatric institution run by Harvard University, an advertising agency recently sponsored an experiment in which the brains of half-a-dozen young whiskey drinkers were scanned. The goal, according to a report in Business Week, was "to gauge the emotional power of various images, including college kids drinking cocktails on spring break, twentysomethings with flasks around a campfire, and older guys at a swanky bar". The results were used to fine-tune an ad campaign for the maker of Jack Daniels."
