25. October, 2003 - useful gadgets? maybe
- Cool. A Croatian version of my Magical Macintosh Key Sequences is now available. I’m going to have to update it pretty soon with 10.3 information one of these days, which will mean some more work for the translators.
- According to SpaceWeather.com, there were pretty decent auroræ last night, and there’s a good chance for some more tonight about 9pm CDT if I'm reading things right. [doc]
- Just a reminder that Daylight Savings Time ends this weekend. An extra hour of drinking tonight! Woo! Or more likely, I’ll just wake up an hour earlier tomorrow morning. [fark!]
- According to the Drinkometer, all the booze I’ve consumed in my life would buy 1⁄3 of a Ferrari. Guess I haven’t been trying hard enough.
- While watching TV last night, I saw an ad for a razor with four blades. Apparently it’s not satire.
- The Knee Defender says it’ll keep the person in front of you from reclining their airline seat into your knees. Maybe I’ll have to pop for one before I fly next. [fark!]
- Finally, continuing the “possibly useful gadgets” theme, it says here the Orgasmatron Puts Tech in Sex for women, getting them to the
one-yard line
by electrically stimulating accupuncture points on their ankles. Apparently some actual touching is still involved to finish the job, but the Slightest Touch® takes a woman to a pre-orgasmic plateau
. Cost? $200. The article also says: No machine will ever replace a person or sexual communication between partners.
Good thing us men-folk aren’t going to be rendered completely useless. [fark!]
