Yikes! Here‘s how you make a fully-functional Beretta 9mm out of Legos!

Splat. Go play it, or Suzi will eat your face.

Lust: Fiberloops.com allows you to search geographically for fiber (local, long-haul, lit, and dark), wireless towers, and carrier hotels.

I want an OC192 straight into my car.

Since I bought Pearl Harbor on DVD yesterday, I thought I’d share with you my impressions of the movie:

“Love story.. love story.. love story.. love story..*yawn* love story.. *yaaawn* love story.. lo–OOH BLOWIN STUFF UP YEA! YEA! BLAMMO! YEA! BOOOM! BLOWIN STU–… ‘Intermission’? What? Insert Disc Two?! What?! … Screw this. I’m going to bed.”

The Eudora mail client has a nice little feature called “Moodwatch” that is intended to determine if an email might be offensive to a recipient. I don’t think Eudora ever considered someone might be sending Anthrax lyrics, as you can see here.

Is your son a hacker?

Remember folks: “Popular hacker software includes “Comet Cursor”, “Bonzi Buddy” and “Flash”.”

Grr. My three-day weekend ended with a grumpy ‘Add me to your Do Not Call List’, as I got a courtesy wakeup call from the nice folks at Edge Teleservices. Edge is the third telemarketing company ‘representing’ DirecTV that I’ve requested not to call my home in as many weeks. If I ever had any desire to purchase DirecTV service, be guaranteed that I don’t now.

I wonder if this is the home telephone number and street address of Art Calhoun, the Edge Teleservices manager? I hope not. It seems to me that someone whose primary occupation is the invasion of the privacy of others would strive for quite a bit of their own privacy.
