When I was a kid, the idea of a bed in the shape of the Mach 5 would have been the bomb. This kids parents know what a kid wants today. His very own TARDIS.   Peculiarosities: Boy Lives In ‘Tardis Bedroom’

This post is mainly for my co-workers who will get a really big kick out of this.

So, not to sound like a quote from Office Space, I have had to move my desk twice in the last 4 weeks. So as I was going through some old unlabeled CD’s I found a special one.

Turn the clock back to January 1998. Almost 10 years to the day. The manager of the Help Desk Nancy Read-Rojas was moving on to another job. I wanted to do something nice. So there was this thing called the web and HTML back then. I thought, let’s make a multimedia CD, and to be sure that it works in 10 years, lets use HTML. So we had as many people as we could sit in front of a round contectix web cam, and gave them a choice of a photo or movie.. and it still works on the web today. notice the subtle use of the BLINK tag.

So turn on the way back machine and browse the CD.

This Motorola commercial makes reference to a lot of Hollywood films. How many can you identify?

This story is about genetically altered mice, by removing receptors that allow them to smell their ultimate predator, cats, they do not fear them. Set aside for the moment how making a fearless mouse helps the world or cats, look at the video. Seems to me they found a cat who does not care about mice! Also, didn’t I see something the other week about mice being made stronger? This scares me, mice that are not afraid of kitty and then can beat it up?

Apple just posted this the other day. Seems that you can now create your own ringtone for your iPhone, as long as it’s original composition. That is unless Prince decides you can not create a version of Purple Rain and comes knocking on your door with  an army of lawyers . Still a good move on Apples part.
